Way to go Scooter Boy!

So far only Newark and Lancaster have had the honor

Granville and Pataskala, for the offenses mentioned above. Some things worked out to my advantage, not going into details though!

Exactly, that's what it's been when I've gone to Cbus. Mayor's court on the other hand . . . don't get me started.

Granville? One thing about Mayor's court though, where do their records show up, other than BMV driving file? Nothing shows up in the the muni court file, not sure how far someone would have to go to dig up these records, or if they're filed somewhere that's easily accessible.

I wasn't..I was dropping my GF off in Tiffin and went up to Otisville Michigan to go feasant hunting with customers, but SHE (I) was late to the baby shower.

Mancard is safe for now.

6. Any other options in general?

Don't break the law? (or at least don't get caught!)

Now that I've said that, I don't know how I've avoided getting any tickets in the past 12 or so years. The last was in 1998 (I think) for driving under suspension, suspenion was from a DUI, and no insurance. I guess maybe I've grown up, been lucky, or realistically some combination of the two!

Are you trying to save the drive, or just the data on the drive?

Drives are cheap these days, go buy one, or if money is an isuse (it is with me!) I have a few lying around you could have for cheap to hold oyu over until you can get a new one. They're all in the 250-500 GB range. I bought a 2TB for $149 at Microcenter a month or so ago, and I've seen them even cheaper than that!

I will read through it more when I get time.

How the Health Care Overhaul Could Affect You

Major ways the overhaul will affect those who currently have health insurance and those who do not.

I don't have time to go through the article in it's entirety, but what I see fisrt off is TAX TAX TAX. Premiums increasing more than they would otherwise, not even taking into account the taxes the insurance companies will be paying that will be passed on to the policy holder. Do people really think that taxes on companies are coing to cut into their bottom line? I think not, they pass it on to the consumer.

Good luck. I found mine on Craigslist last April for less than $1k. There were quite a few pop;ping up on there early last season, through June or July.

400K is crazy amount of miles on a car. Wonder how far my 99 explorer can go before its found on the road dead.

MAYBE 5k....

I put the hammer down, and didn't have to go to the corner!

She did ask if this is the ride where I said I'd lay down the law and go whimpering to the corner....

I thought ricepaddy had a website you could request parts on and they would get back to you phone tag style.

Yeah, good luck with that one...

It seems they only answer the emails they feel like answering.

i had my light come on once sitting at a red light, flipped it to reserve...light turned and i immediately pulled into the gas station sitting right at the intersection...it died about 5 feet before the pump

the other day, my gas light came on, i put it on reserve and was pulling holeshots down morrison for 10mins and rode another 5miles to my house and it did fine

my gas light scares me lol

That's why I have a good idea of how far it will go, then make sure I reset the trip meter every time, and not exceed what I know it can go by much.

We have a customer with a 96 Chevy K-1500 (4x4) pickup that has somewhere around 230k-250k on the original 5.0l engine. The transmission had been rebuilt a few times until I got to it, and fixed an electronic issue that was unique to 96 trucks. I see him in passing quite often! I just thought it was pretty good for an American vehicle, amongst all the talk about how great the imports are, and a truck, nonetheless.

We also have a neglected Malibu that blew the engine at around 300k. Still runs, just smokes, rattles, and overheats.

Actually, my Camaro gets props for it's original drivetrain lasting 217k before I pulled the 305 for the 355 that's in it now. Everything else that failed, I attribute to the MAJOR power increase.

I'm not chiming in on this one yet....but this is why I eat cows. So their flatulence doesn't ruin the ozone.

And leave the pigs in Washington D.C. to wallow in the mud.....

Use a tape measure?

I know there's a story behind this, but I'll have to get it later. Time for some Zeez.

He's seen how bad he can tear up a bike....

*A 10 percent tax on indoor tanning services that use ultraviolet lamps goes into effect on July 1

Get the tinfoil hats ready. They're going to legislate tanning booths out of business.

I'm reading on now.....

My biggest question. Is there somrthing in there for the plan to pay for itself after a period of time, and pay back the initial investment? What's the ROI here?

Any of you that work for pretty much any company, if you want to make an improvement that will cost them money out of pocket, they will want details on the ROI.

Give citations for your slippery slope, tin foil hat argument. :rolleyes:

Exactly what I was going to say!

I need to go back and read about what IS in the bill beyond whay has already been said, that nobody else (for or against) seems to want to post....

Well, threw the Battery Tender on there to find that the Tender fired right up. Curiously it started flashing that the battery was 80% charged after about 20 minutes. With the tender still on, I flipped the bike to ON where everything fired up, including the fuel pump, for about 10 seconds before fading out. Switched to Off, then took another batt reading: 0.4. Never disconnected the Tender, she's charging now. I'll check it again in the morning and see what the voltage falloff is. If it's steeper than 12.7 or so it's not completely guaranteed she'll fire up without assistance, and the battery is toast.

The battery's static voltage at full charge should be 12.6 volts. Anything higher than that would be from a surface charge, on top of 12.6 from charging it. After charging overnight, let it sit for a while (hour or so to be sure) then check the voltage. In order to chanrge a battery, it has to be at a voltage higher then the battery's nominal voltage.

I know... LOL! Wow, this might be an interesting one if all three of us, me, cheech and 600, are the same ride...LOL! Might want to get the ambulance to follow us.

The ambulance (Todd) will probably be out front, still an awesome respnose time.

Cheech and Snoman?

This should be an interesting ride.

With these 2 and Ebon (and myself), do you think everyone can stay on their wheels?

I know just givin you a hard time, you need to come with this group though good time and very well organized. I'll hook up with you in Newark and show you the way to the start point.

I know where it is, but I can meet up in Pataskala and ride in with you guys. Maybe we can get Chevysoldier to go, too. He lives in P-town.

Yea I heard that from Porter last season too...... But i know where he lives now so.....

I'll lay down the law tonight when my wife gets home. (Then I'll go whimpering to the corner....)
