  1. I like this Accu Gage for motorcycle tires. It fits into tight spaces and is accurate. I think they go for $15 at Advance Auto
  2. On http://www.amaproracing.com/rr/ they still show Speed covering all the races. Is the website just out of date?
  3. Ride faster...get to the gas stops sooner
  4. Weber is worth the extra money. Very good build quality and very even cooking temps. Propane refills are $20, no point in running a gas line.
  5. With the electoral college, the only votes for president that actually matter are votes in swing states. Under the current system....if you are a republican living in CA, or a democrat living in TX (or any other non-swing state), your vote for president is absolutely meaningless.
  6. I'll just leave this here for quick reference http://www.ohioriders.net/showthread.php?t=101984&page=2
  7. This is the most divided I have ever felt the county has been during my lifetime. The poeple and government seem more divided now then they were under Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan or Carter (I was alive during the Ford administration, but was too young to remember). I think one of the key characteristics of a great leader is the ability to bring people together, and I think Obama has done just the opposite. Obama is certainly not the entire problem, but his actions don't seem to indicate that he really knows how to gain any bipartisan support. Thoughts?

    How about a sweet island off the coast.
  9. Yes. Totally obsolete.
  10. Where do I submit my vote of 'No Confidence' for both the president and congress?
  11. I have a pair of US made RWs. Well worth the $$s.
  12. How many mags? How much for this and the Savage...and I couldn't find Zombieland on Google maps.
  13. If you're going for bad ass, this seems like the obvious choice.
  14. This. There was also a xb9sl with the same seat height.
  15. I've come to the realization that the Suzuki 650 twin is one of the finest motors to ever be bolted onto 2 wheels. Seriously.
  16. I had a 2000 Nissan Frontier V6 4x4 that I bought new. NO issues for 7 years of ownership. $8k for a 160k Colorado is a crappy deal.
  17. The Buell brake rotor is mounted to the rim not the hub. Completely different
  18. neat bike. it must be uber flickable.
  19. I used 5wt Amsoil Synthetic. I would guess any 5wt would be about the same.

    Harlem Shake

    I think it's a good thing that I have no idea what this thread is about.
  21. Ahh...someone who can relate to my motorcycle buying ADD
  22. I've always been a believer that spending habits are a bigger factor than income in the ability to live comfortably. Needs and wants are completely different things. It drives me absolutely crazy when people get in the habit of spending money everyday on unnecessary things like energy drinks, pop, coffee, cigarettes, & lottery tickets. I cut most of that BS out years ago and used the $$ to pay off a 30 year mortgage way early. And that didn't even interfere with my motorcycle buying ADD. Living within your means (whatever yours are), with a cushion is they key to living comfortably. I've known many people that earn well into six figures that live paycheck to paycheck. I also know people with a nice nest egg that earn much less. Remember NFL players getting loans to survive the lockout? There is no excuse for earning that kind of money and not having a financial cushion http://www.businessinsider.com/nfl-players-high-interest-loans-2011-4 Spending everything you earn is a terrible habit, regardless of income. Living off credit (spending money you haven't earned yet) is even worse. My rule has always been to have 6 months of TOTAL living expenses in a savings account then put money into 401k until it hurts. If you have a 6 month cushion you can handle just about any financial interuption that comes your way.
