I'm just a lowly civilian......

Bump for a nice lookin jakcet. If it was the Interceptor jacket, not the CBR, I'd be very interested. I still might be interested, I'll have to think about it, and see if you still have it after the funds become available (tax return comes in.)

I always used Turtle Wax Chrome Polish and steel wool. It worked great on a 64 Buick I had.

That's funny. We recently restored a 64 Buick at work. The bumpers were too bad, and we had to have them reworked by a place down in TN.

Ehhh' date=' the law requires that I say "no comment" to that question. Lets just say that everything I bitch about the neighbor kids for doing,

I did as well when I was their age, and most likely some other stuff they ain't did yet! [/quote']

Bad kid....

You don't have any offspring to teach these things you aren't allowed by law to comment on do you?

I always did stuff on my property. Blowing holes in the ground and stuff. lol. Was taught early on to respect peoples stuff. It's probably the same kids that like to shoot fireworks at cars driving down the street. All I know is when it gets fixed and if it ever goes out again, I'm hauling ass outside to see whats going on.

This is one thing I'm having a struggle with dealing with the step boys. They're young enough that it's not an issue yet, but they have no respect for their own stuff, or stuff that belongs to their mom or just general stuff around the house. It's not out of control, I just want to get it to where I'm not worried about it becoming out of control.

Valve check doesn't require the removal of the cams. (unless you've got a Vtec Honda... UGH!!) You only need to do that if they need adjusted. Don't be skeered.. triple check everything and turn the engine over by hand a few times once your finished. Get the factory Yamahahaha manual' date=' though. None of that Chiltons/Haynes bullshit.[/quote']

on the factory manual. I've found the Clymer's to be....vague... on some things, on the verge of downright wrong.

I've been through the bottom end of my VF500, changed the crank, and had to re-time the cams then, now I have the front head off to swap out a valve. There's not anything I can say that I'm afraid to do to an engine! Then again, I do this stuff on bigger engines (cars, light trucks) for a living.

You're going to http://www.ohio-riders.net/showthread.php?t=42229 in that screenshot. Your DNS hasn't replicated down the 301 redirect yet, which is bullshit because that was done a week ago. That link should immediately redirect you to http://www.ohio-riders.com/showthread.php?t=42229 and work fine. Just use www.ohio-riders.com for now.

That's how it was working for me, except I would just hit esc. and it would load the page just fine, although I dodn't check to make sure all the images were right, just nothing I normally pay attention to was out of place.

It was happenning when reading a thread, replying to a thread, back to the home page, pretty much anywhere. As I said above, just hit esc. and it continued normally. I use the .com to get to the site, and the redirect seems to work fine.

Main roads in the area are good. County roads suck. The township road that I live on is really good, just packed snow, that provides good traction. I have to travel a crappy county road to get anywhere, and it is bad. It's packed snow/ice that's cleared over to the ditch on one side, and only half the lane on the other, not to mention that the packed snow/ice is uneven, worse than potholes! It's like a washboard, at best.

I'm actually glad that they did NOT put down a bunch of salt. It would have turned to slush, then ice, covered with snow.

It was happening to me w/ Firefox going to ohio-riders.net. I don't know what web server you are using but I know with IIS, for example, if you try to access something you don't have file permissions to, it will ask for user name/password w/o it being a part of the web app.

^ Better explaination...

Now that's really odd. There's NOTHING that would prompt that on OR.

Is there maybe something that it's trying to access of the o-r.net that is now password protected that wasn't before? THAT's the type of prompt I'm getting. I'm thinking it must be a banner or something, since it's random. FOr the record, I haven't noticed it yet today, and it seemed to only happen on the first few pages I went to AFTER being idle for a while. Not sure if any of that matters or not, just trying to help!

Can someone take a screenshot the next time you get the popup and post it here?

They were the windows login type popup. Like the ones that you get with peer to peer networking, to access password protected resources on another PC.

Wow! That makes my VF500 look like cake work!

Let me rephrase that question' date=' how many times has your signal gone to shit to where you couldn't watch it cause it was all pixelated and choppy or studdering or freezing, you know what I mean. I had a dish once, I know what a good rain storm or snow does, told myself never again after that one.

Of course if I lived in the middle of nowhere like 1000rrrider then I guess I'd have no choice! [/quote']

It's a very rare occurance, actually. I've probably lost power more often.

The only good thing about cable out here is the low number of connections on the node, I get's some fast innanets! The availability of cable out here is spotty. I happen to be at the very end of a run, from the way it looks. The channel selection is less than stellar on cable out here, also. About the only advantage cable has there is stuff that I don't watch anyway, like the music channels, and a few more premium channels with their packages. Also, I haven't tested it out where I am now, but everywhere I've been before, the picture quality isn't as good. A few channels might be, but with Directv it seems to be very consistant through the range.

I've had it at random with IE8.

I posted about it in the smilies not working thread, since it seems to be related to some of the stuff talked about there.

I think it's industry standard to make bumpers crumple at low speed impacts... but yah, it sucks

The vehicle is DESIGNED to crush. Impact absobtion protects the occupants.

shut up and go play in the surf.......i have snow to shovel

well that's OBVIOUSLY true... it's a honda

Ugh... And I ride a Hon-duh..... That sort of comment is usually made by a Squizuki rider.....

Theres not much you can do with a shovel out here, my driveway is 1/2 mile long.

Exactly why she would do that if you give her attitude! She'd have to hide the keys to the loader, also!

I seemed impossible to shovel the driveway here, and it's maybe 60-80 ft long, 2 cars wide!

Hmmm' date=' well lets see, we've been in our house for 7 years and I think our cable went out twice. How about your dish? [/quote']

Less, other than snow, which could be taken care of with a heated dish! If the dish was up on the roof, it would probably be better, I've never lost signal with a roof mounted dish! This one is mounted on a pole out back, since there's no place on the roof to put it that it would get past the trees. One other difference here, that I've never had to deal with, is it's the wider multi-lnb dish, that's required for HD, and a few other channels, which I don't have, so I COULD replace it with a standard dish.

Was definitely a person, or maybe bigfoot, that did it.

We have another bigfoot sighting!

I am moving to Nevada come fall...

Wimp. Quitter.

There's a place close to here that most certainly would have something, called TDR, or something like that. They're on the old 161, aka worthington rd. east of New Albany. You're not from the Columbus area though, are you?

The wife is clearing it next time, I'm done.

Good luck with that. I bet she'll lay down the law and you'll be out there with a shovel, after that attitude!

Use .com sucker.... ohio-riders (ctrl) (enter)

I do use the .com stoopid!

I'm too lazy to type it out, and the .net forwards to .com anyway.

I used ctrl-enter back before it was popular.

Cable.

Sux.

For TV anyway. I like roadrunner.

It better fuggin not thats all there is to it. I just spent 6hrs solid in the biggest tracked skidsteer money can "thanks to my awsome farmer next door for letting me have it" digging out my driveway so I can get in and out. I will not accept any more snow I've got no where to put it.

Snow: (in a sinister voice to 1000rrdude) "Bend over and spell RUN!!! And LIKE it!"

That explains EVERYTHING. I'll have that taken care of shortly. It's all on how your browser handles redirects. www.ohioriders.net and www.ohio-riders.net are redirected to www.ohio-riders.com.

More probs with this! Now, when refresh a page, I get a login dialog box for ohio-riders.net. Just FYI'ing you.
