  1. FYI, At car washes (self serve) the options like...presoak, triple foam, foam gun, spot free rinse are all pretty much intended to increase the time spent washing ($) without any noticeable benefit. All you need is high pressure soap, foam brush, and just rinse with the high pressure wax. No point rinsing then using the wax.
  2. I used to own a car wash. Every time I saw someone washing a bike I'd tell them not to use the high pressure setting (around 1400 psi) near the plugs. They usually didn't listen. Lots of bikes had trouble starting after
  3. Sand people always ride single file to hide their numbers.

    Ride 5/22

    Sad to hear this. I'm going to try to ride this weekend. My ex killed last weekend's plans.
  5. Did you leave something on and it drained the battery? In all my years of riding this has never come up.
  6. OOC, what is the situation where you needed to jump start a bike?

    2019 Gap Trip.

    Out. I'll be traveling for work.
  8. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_recipients Bruce Springsteen has one, and he's a total douchebag.
  9. Anyone have a good explanation why tax returns are such a big deal? I've heard some people say that Trump is hiding illegal activity such as bribes and a laundry list of other things. Wouldn't the IRS already have dozens agents validating taxes of every billionaire in the US? I assume illegal activity is something the IRS already looks for?
  10. If KTM is having productions problems, they may be doing you a favor. KTM makes great performing machines, but the ownership experience isn't always as great.
  11. It's a Kawasaki Cruiser. It's never handled perfectly.

    Honest question.

    Felon's shouldn't vote. Because law abiding citizens have done a great job of putting ethical, moral, non-criminals in office...right?
  13. Still think the Street is the better handling triple.
  14. I would also pick the Street. Only things the 1050 does better is straight line speed, and less shifting.
  15. At any given moment they are many government sponsored acts occurring to topple-destabilize-stabilize-manipulate-pressure-influence-prop up regimes all around the world. Most of them will never see the lights of day, they are "black ops" where the dots will never be connected in a public way. It not just the US. Many countries do this, even China, which you have an oddly high opinion of. The world is a scary place, man.

    Honest question.

    While I don't have any real issue with felons voting, bringing this up is a stupid political move by Sanders. The political fear mongers (on the right in this case), will do what political fear mongers do.
  17. You'd prefer military action on US soil? Do you think China's military spending would be higher if their troops were actually paid respectable wages?

    Honest question.

    I don't see felons voting as a problematic. I doubt there'd be a big a wave of new voters that would change the outcome of elections.
  19. Ummm, 2nd highest military spending in the world. They might be first but it's cheaper to steal military technology than buy it or develop it yourself.
  20. China is growing fast because they had very little to start with and are basically in the middle of their industrial revolution. When they are more developed, when regulations, working conditions, and wages catch up to the rest of the civilized world...when they stop the gov't sponsored stealing intellectual property their growth will slow. It's BEYOND STUPID to think China is nirvana and the US is a dumpster fire. For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-34592336
