I'm supposed to be getting out of this motorcycling thing...

Bol d'Or for $7? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck...

Mike Ali rides a collection of used aprillia parts....when its running.

ok, looks like i'll have to wait for answers on this thread. my mom trolled my facebook post when i asked on there. why did i get her an iphone? what a mistake that was.

I'm getting 24 hours on a battery. 8 hours of pretty good use and the rest is standby time. Also, I'm located in a valley where it bounces back and forth between 3G and LTE and low connection. So I'm sure that's not helping my cause.

Lasts way longer than my old 4 did.

Haha, gonna be kinda hard around here. There's like 5 Aprilias in all of Ohio.

I do however have one intact turn signal I could just have the connector cut off and sent to you. You are looking for just the connectors, right? The turn signal side's connector?

So i have an 08 GS500f. I am thinking about stretching it about 4", purely for aesthetic purposes. I'm at OSU and have friends in welding engineering, but I may take it elsewhere if need be. What's the "right" way to stretch a swing arm?

You would've been better off replacing the bold words with "because I can't keep the front end down".

Still, I don't want to be pulled over by you. And though you may be an alright guy, the second cop, the one riding shotgun, or the one in the car behind you who just pulled up because they were close by, he or she may be having a bad night and an attitude to match and not be so cool.

I've had the polar opposite happen. Never been happier to see a second cruiser with Mr. Smiley behind the wheel. Got me out of some serious shit.

Ha! No, I was in KOS for a number of years. Kinda dropped out over the last few, though.

KOS, that's where I've seen it.

I'll comment.

I'm not on here a lot and I've only ever met maybe 4 guys here, so I'm not really privvy to the group dynamics, but respect to Midget Todd, cause that shit is hilarious.

In my car, provided road conditions are acceptable, I always set the cruise at 9 over. 64 in a 55, 74 in a 65, etc. On the interstate, unless there is a really torn up section of road or some other good reason not to, I always stay in the right lane, and merge left to pass. If someone comes up behind me, which is rare, I get over immediately.

On the bike, I really have little regard for speed limits. I try and keep my speeds at around 10 over, but invariably I look down and I'm doing 85+ mph. I took my lumps for that years ago with a 4 point, 119 in a 55 citation; and I'm quite certain I'll get another one at some point. It happens - ya gotta pay if you want to play. On the bike I am also always in the right lane, except to pass or under the conditions described above.

I'm personally ok with speeding if the combination of equipment, skill, road surface, weather, and traffic density is all proportionate; and I write very, very, very few speeding tickets because of that and because of my own propensity to speed. I make a lot of speed stops, but that's to sniff out what else might be going on. To actually get a speeding ticket from me, you have to first catch me when I'm not getting bombarded with other calls, then you also have to have a shitty driving record, and you have to sprinkle in a dollop of asshole with a smattering of uninsured.

I also hate, with a fucking passion, those fucktards who clog the left lane, or who insist on going under the speed limit on a 2 lane road. I understand that not everyone shares my habit of speeding, and that's okay; but at least go the speed limit, and get over if someone wants to pass. I chuckled at some people's comments on here, because I do the same thing. Climb up someone's ass, yep. Flash the brights, yep. Make insane arm gestures, yep. A few years ago I took a pursuit class and we did live PITs on other vehicles on a track; and for months after that, as I was trapped behind a horde of Voyagers and Siennas I would daydream about just smashing the slowpokes off the road and laughinging maniacally as they spun into the median, unaware of what had just happened to them.

I have a divided highway (8 lane, actually) in my jurisdiction but it's not really a "freeway" in the sense that it has traffic lights and cross streets, so there are always cars in the left lanes that are moving slowly in preparation for merging, turning, etc. Thus, I can't really engage in much enforcement for left lane violators. I do make some general "impeding traffic" stops on cars that are clearly trundling along below the speed limit and have several cars backed up behind them. I'd like to see the OSP do more in the way of educating drivers to stay right on multi lane roads, and I'd like to see more enforcement on the freeway. Sadly, the OSP is so wrapped up in writing speeding tickets that they fail to enforce a lot of traffic laws that would truly promote safety and improve traffic flow.

Oh, and as far as it being legal to pass at 10 over, umm, no. As someone else said, the speed limit is the limit. Well, I mean, technically it's the limit....

Cheers.

I feel like I know your screen name from somewhere. Are you on TeamMullet?

Thinking that my noob self on a 600 Katana could keep up with 8-9 other guys on bikes ranging from Honda 959s to a Duc 1098, 80% of them in full leathers, running the normal route to Coshocton that I've never been on before.

Ask one of the Columbus regulars about Cheech's Corner on 79N in Newark. Don't be that guy.

Totally forgot about that!!!!

I think that was my first Coshocton trip. Or second? Shit, I don't remember. I just remember my throttle sticking right after leaving the Pony and having to force it closed the rest of the day.

Swap coffee for Baileys. Swap Baileys for vodka.

Done.

Took the bike out for lunch for some tasty tasty T-Bell. Upon leaving, geared up, kickstand up, key on, nothing...

Shit battery or bad connection.

I tried multiple times to start it, got completely flustered and said "fuck it". Leaned the bike back over on the kickstand that wasn't there. I realized this about the time that it was too late. Bike and I fell over, sitting still, in a parking lot. Luckily it didn't pin my leg against the curb, so I had to snake my way out from under it and pick it back up.

When I did, I turned the key and had power again! Started it, and sploosh! Coolant everywhere. The tip over had broken a radiator mount and was spewing pressurized coolant all over.

Needless to say, she went home in the back of a pickup that day.

If the government wants to see me fuckin' from space, they're more than welcome to. Though I've never considered myself very voyeuristic.

hah

Hahaha, this.

How many attendees will be cute young couples versus fat ugly old men?

It's not a porn site...

The movie didn't do shit to this kid. He was damaged goods long before that. Equating his sister hurting his feelings to justified vengeance via death is not something that comes about because of a horror flick.

Agreed.

It's basically the same thing as Easton. Just more bars. Haha

What...the...fuck.

Seriously.

I can't wrap my head around this, and I'm not that much older than he is.

I went back upstairs and kept pacing back and forth imagining killing Mallory," he said. "Thoughts of causing her pain kept entering my mind and were really bothering me. But then I'd think about the times she hurt my feelings.

This is what happens when you apply a 1st grade mentality to your grown up life.

Could always bar-hop Atlantic Station and then cab it back to the hotel.

it's shaped like a butt plug:rolleyes:

winnAr.

Hell yeah!

In a world where a disgraced SS agent is blaming himself, it'll take one incredibly opaque villain to make him kick terrorist anuses. From the mind of the guy that wrote some other movie that wasn't particularly well received, and the artistic vision of a dude that worked on Michael Bay movies and loves explosions comes this Summer's biggest epic that will be in the $5 bin by Halloween....

Love it!

I blocked everybody on this site.

I blocked you. You just suck. Wait, wut?
