i went in to work, but apparently UPS is closed today and our hub didnt get the memo...all the main hubs are closed, so we did what little work we had, and they sent us home after 2 hours....glad i got up at 3am and drove 15 miles for two whole hours of work

new dominos pizza is great....i like the brooklyn style crust

crazy how they change color like that lol

idk man, just what ive always been taught growing up, get the bikes as straight as possible before strapping them down...old habits i guess

first pic, girl on left = nice ass!

wheel medic did great powdercoating for me also...but i kinda got the feel from this thread that theyre the ones who have it already, so i havent suggested them to him to have it fixed lol...i figured if it was them, they would work it out for him....but with how their customer service was last time i was there, if it was at WM i woulda thought it would be done by now

they said "a few days" so i called a week later and they said a few days again, so i called 3 days later and he got very rude with me on the phone and said they wouldnt be getting to it that week and that he would call me when it was done. i called back the following monday to ask if it was done and he said it was, i asked how much i owed and he said he didnt know that they would have to call me back called me back hours later and "all said and done you'll have a hundred dollars into it" turned into $167.xx

ill be 21 next year....maybe ill try a little harder to make it out next year and party with you guys

i would say it wouldnt hurt anything, aside from wearing out your tire. its not like the engine is turning 9k rpm, your trans is just free spinning...no different than towing a car like that i wouldnt think

i would say not....guess anything is possible, but i dont see that being a problem

i wouldnt feel right hauling a bike sideways in my truck bed...i mean, i guess it works...but i wouldnt do it

so glad you know how to read idiot.

hahaha

i would have trolled the fuck out of this event.....i wish my school had done this!!! i woulda came in wearing a ghost buster outfit and a budweiser trucker hat

I get where youre coming from, but I do think we've strayed a long way from shoe scanning being unconstitutional....however, i understand how we got here lol. I'm not totally sold on putting a dollar sign on a life, but I do realize that without doing so, big issues like these can't be solved. So with that, I think ill end my part of this debate and let you boys get back to it. Debating with you wears my brain out, guess I'll just put you back on ignore. lol jk This is the best response ive read in this thread so far (concerning security).

still havent gotten it back? i think your swingarm should have taken #1 priority at the shop since you already had to wait for it once

Wouldn't that apply to any method we put into play? There will always be a work-around for security, and nothing will ever be 100% secure. Once we pin down a certain area, they will find a new one to breach.

The scanners in the article i linked, would pick up a shoe bomb that a metal detector would not. Fusion pointed out that richard reids shoes did not contain any metal, therefore they would not be detected. Current scanners would be able to show the fuse and detonator inside of the shoe. Fusion also points out that it would be easy to blend those in to the shoe. But having a chance to physically see the fuse and detonator, in my opinion, is better than not trying at all. And with the development of new scanners in the article i posted, they would be able to detect the chemical used in the bombs down to 2 parts per billion, which also would not be picked up in a metal detector. **edit - heres that link http://dvice.com/archives/2010/10/new-scanning-de.php

I never suggested profiling. I was responding to jrmmii's comment about using the techniques of other air ports that have better security rating than we do. I used Israel because they were the number 1 rated country for airport security. I personally do not think profiling would work that well, especially using it in the same manner that Israel does. I do happen to agree with you on the reasons for them being on top. They ask every passenger a series of questions, and if they feel that you were nervous or thought you were lying, you would get pulled aside and questioned further. I'm sure theres people out there who are able to train themselves to be calm under pressure....after all, some people can pass lie detectors without having to tell the truth. I think the only one who suggested profiling in this thread is myhondas (and possibly Judd, but im not sure if thats how he meant it.)

isn't that what they're already trying to do? you said the shoe scanner is unconstitutional because it is ineffective, therefore it should be considered unreasonable. so if we cannot achieve 100% effectiveness, wouldnt that make all searches "unreasonable" aswell? shoe scanner, metal detector, full body scanner, etc

^ agreed....when i see burnouts, all i see is money evaporating into the sky
