  1. Good luck with that! I'd love to hit the track with our's, but it's the only running bike right now, and I don't have all the requirements, or the cash.
  2. Shoulda done the "let me google that for you" link for that one!
  3. That wouldn't be much fun though...
  4. Keep the test appt. until you know you don't need it, just in case you don't get into a class.
  5. I'll be looking forward to doing a ride, anyway.
  6. looks beat to shit... for those that are too lazy to read: http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=60219 Which came from: http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=59695
  7. Please report back your experience with Dynabeads. Actually, if you have the opportunity, slap the tires on without balancing, then put in the beads and refill and let us know how they do. I'm going to do so next time I need tires.
  8. That's what I think will make it good! See the fuck Coshocton thread...
  9. Too busy being I suppose...
  10. ^^^ This. Even if the job doesn't go away, the person doing the job may get to a point where they physically have trouble doing the job, especially in a manual labor type of job. That has had me thinking for a while now...
  11. Why? You don't know how to ride a bike that turns. This is a road course, not the drag strip.
  12. Some industries need this, I'm sure, to get labor costs in check. Others, the salary offerings are still really good, especially when talking about a skilled area. From what I've seen, experienced Auto Techs are in pretty good demand right now, and start out with good wages.
  13. I shouldn't read OR when I'm at lunch... Check out craigslist. It's surprising how many jobs are out there.
  14. There are times that you have to let up on the accelerator man... Seriously though, I wish you the best in finding what you need. I'm sure you will, you're not a dummy!
  15. No kidding! With some timing belts, you almost nee an engineering degree, just to come up with some clue as to why they would even think of doing it that way! I passed the ASE auto trans test without ever tering into one! It was shortly after that when I got someone to show me the basics and took to it pretty well. I have to say that having my last 2 years of high school spent in vocational school helped me a lot, though. I learned why some things work the way they do, such as A/C, but without actually changing out parts in the shop, it didn't do a whole lot of good. On top of that, I learned R12, and although things are similar, you just can't rely on a set of gauges any more.
  16. I'm just trying to encourage you to get another ASAP!!! I feel the need to ride up to Apple Valley.
  17. He can't... Seriously though... I love TWC for internet, but not for TV. Directv FTW! It takes some pretty severe weather to knock the signal out, and at that time, I should probably not be watching TV anyway.
  18. Pauly needs to haul his ass down my way and finish my "classic" jap bike before I'll give him such high regards... Nah, too many have spoken up for him, he has to be pretty good! Not to mention, he's helpful when people ask questions around here.
  19. So, what is everyone's advice on this? Should the under-qualified person apply for the job anyway? Realistically, what is the person out, a little time? My problem with the formal education requirements is that in college they teach you from the book, where in the real world, they need someone that knwos what they're doing. Many of the jobs I have seen want both, a couple years experience and a degree, for stuff that you would never think would need it for, such as the OP.
  20. Get with Brian at Dynotune Motorsports. DTM is a sponsor of Ohio-riders, Brian's screenname is DTM Brian. Many here have used him for a PROPER dyno tune, and I've heard more good than bad about him.
  21. Maybe you could've had that deer watching you doing a whoolie instead of running in front of you? Or you could've done a stoppie right in front of it?
  22. Poll fail. No hookers and blow options...
