  1. I distinctly remember you having a GSXR for a track bike, how many bikes ago was that?
  2. you forgot the really sweet S-turn in Avon.
  3. I thought any non-Harley bike was knocked over and pissed on on sight at the Post? Those look like Boulevards to me. I pass by there every time I come to see my parents, on a weekend it's balls out packed. Grafton's too busy babysitting the prisons down the street to give a shit less.
  4. If you want a paint booth to mess around with, I've got you covered. It's not the best in the world (the guys who designed the room it went into didn't have any filtered intakes, just exhaust) but it'll do. As for the paint, if you're going to go the 80's route you might as well add generous amount of metal flake and add some external speakers blasting Krush Groove and Grandmaster Flash. (I happen to have some MP3's if you're looking.) Don't forget your matching Hypercolor t-shirt.
  5. and wait until Worthington PD gets word of it and starts setting up patrol cars nearby with nothing better to do than to pop for temp violations? No thanks.
  6. greenpois0n, and don't upgrade to 4.3.
  7. Heh, I chuckle because I've been there. I must have done this dance at least 4 times, the first 3 I thought that fo sho' I snapped it back in there, only to be disappointed in a few days. If anything it's a good time to do some frame cleaning, air ducts, triple tree, stuff like that.
  8. 100% exposed fuel rods in a reactor (not spent fuel pool)? Citation, please.
  9. Yeah, it's a bitch. Glad it worked out. You did superglue it back in place, right? It may seem like it's back in there good once you snap it in place, but it'll fall back out in the first 10 miles without some glue. I had help. if you're putting it on daily you aren't rubbing liberally enough. Remember to do it slow... and sexy. On the 03-04 clusters, right underneath the rubber boot there are 2 white plastic spacers that clip onto the ADJ and RESET buttons on the board. It's a noted issue that these spacers fall off over time/vibration/bad riding/pissing off the bike. The only way to get them in is to rip the front end fairings/headlights off, take the gauge cluster out from the bottom, then crack open the cluster and with a little glue cement those fuckers in place.
  10. Looks like the Browns are finally going to have a non-losing season this year... http://abcnews.go.com/Business/nfl-lockout-union-dissolves-owners-lock-players/story?id=13123983
  11. There's a pretty active discussion on Fark about this, and from what I can gather these things are happening. Disclaimer: I'm not a nuclear scientist, merely a pudgy engaged observer. Consume the appropriate amount of salt. The reactor is a Boiled Water Reactor design, with a metal Reactor Vessel, a concrete containment chamber around that, and possibly a chamber around that designed so that weather events don't erode or compromise the containment chamber. From what I understand, they are still running on batteries (more which are being delivered) since the diesel generators were knocked out in the tsunami. Whatever power source they have (or don't), it's not enough to keep the pumps running continuously to circulate fresh water, hence the pressure buildup. Don's post is somewhat accurate in that they scrammed the reactors after/just before the quake, however that puts them out of OMGWTFBBQ CHERNOBYL! disaster range and more into Three Mile Island range. Reactors don't just shut off, the analogy I'm hearing thrown around the most is they are akin to a stove; you can kill the flame/element, but you'll still burn your hand if you touch the top. What we're seeing now is decay heat, which as long as they can keep that under control they should be out of the woods. Explosions are never good, and I don't know whether the outer shell of the containment structure blew or the containment structure itself. They are talking about releasing pressure (steam) to the atmosphere, the vents of which are filtered so the environmental fallout of the venting would be controlled. One last thing, try not to get too caught up with the media talking about 100x levels this or 1000x levels that. Radiation is measured using a logarithmic, not exponential scale, I'll let some of the mathletes here explain that in further detail.
  12. if you need a place to squat the trailer, feel free to drop by my house.

    True dat. The long ass slab on 161/16 just sucks.

    Ride Saturday?

    If you choose to be stupid and either overestimate your ability or underestimate the road, then yes. If you choose to ride within your limits then it will be not only a very worthwhile learning experience but fun as hell. Make sure you pay your respects to my corner if/when you ride it.

    Look on maps.google. 79N from 16 is fairly challenging on paper, when you're a noob and on it for the first time it's fucking terrifying.
  16. It takes all of 5 minutes to jailbreak a iPhone. OP, sorry bub, 3G's are going for about $160 on fleabay, and there's a 16GB on CL for $180. Methinks the price is a little high.
  17. If you chronically get too frustrated that probably means you aren't doing it right, which means you don't know how to do the work yourself. There's nothing wrong with this, but if you want to say you know how to do the work it would help to, you know, actually know how to do it. I've been told (disclaimer: never used the guy myself) from some people on here that the Mobile guy charges a decent amount. If I were you, I'd get you and the bike to the Independent Motorsports opening this weekend and get a free oil change coupon out of the deal.
  18. Where's the green LED on the back of the tower? Is it on the PSU or on the motherboard somewhere? For a manufactured PC, a PSU going bad is a distinct possibility.
  19. exFAT probably doesn't work in the Clarion because it's an older unit. FAT32 should work with both, but Win7 can't do it natively. Pull this down to format in FAT32. http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/FAT32format.shtml

    Google-fu. I has it.
  22. it's free checking, for now. I had an account with them for about 10 years that I opened in college, as soon as I started getting hit with ATM fees, debit card fees, all sorts of dumb shit, I abandoned as fast as I could.
