I'm hoping to get the Hon-duh back together this wwek, and ride it Friday if the weather is ok (no precipitation) and roads are dry and not icy.

You would think so, but I got a ticket for it in Butler county driving from cinci to Dayton. I was so pissed! I guess the cop saw them in my ears (driving the car), and honked at me. I glanced at him but then went back to looking at the road, because we were in heavy traffic. He pulled me over and ticketed me. F'in douche! it was a state traffic cop with nothing better to do, I guess

That's the first I've heard of anyone actually getting ticketed for it! I have been wondering if anyone ever has! I have to say, I think that the LEO that writes that ticket would be a bit overbearing, and not at all compassionate.

Were you ticketed for anything else? Sort of the mentallity of he had good reason to ticket you and not let you off with a warning for something else, so gonna tack on that one too?

You don't respond to customer emails right?

That is all....

The wife is watching a movie with this as the intro and I hear it. Not sure the movie, I might go look in a few....

I'll never junk a website up with useless ads. Not an option.

Thank you!

I like the site how it is. I hate sites that have all those ads and crap

I also like it, and the constant little improvements being made!

For all of you that want the board to be completely open, .

Point A. This is Casper's site, he gets to make the decision.

Point B. What's the big deal with people filling out the little bit to become members? It's not that big of a deal, and it reduces the amount of riff-raff just trying to leech info.

Whoa there Pilgrim.

I'm currently able to provide my own PBR. I'm not to the point where I'm giving out mouthpussy for it.

When he'll give you MP for free....

I'll vote for that

I don't think Matt is getting angry, don't flatter yourself. He is probably getting frustrated because you're arguing about something you're clearly ignorant about. In multiple posts you claimed just the opposite of the conservation of energy law. Quit being an asshole and do your homework before you start arguing. I think I've said something like that to you before. Flying the flag in front of your thoughts and words, remember that one?

It doesn;t take THAT much to get Todd#43 stirring. Just sain'.....

you know you want me... esp now that I have a kat...:D

Everbody loves Moose, just with some of us, it's not in a way....

I was under the impression that having ear phones on was illegal?! Any truth to this?

Technically it is. You are allowed to have only one ear phone in use. The question is how many LEO's even know this, or even care? I'm willing to bet that if you're going to get a ticket for this, you're getting a much more serious ticket with it.

Iron Pony's going to have to set something up for a showroom or take a couple of spaces in the strip center next door. Right now, all the bikes are scattered, abandoned in the back corner. They've got way too much good, carpeted space being used for dirt gear right now. That's where they should put the bikes. Aprilia is pretty high-end.

No kidding! Who cares about all that dirt gear anyway?

Ma Bell is still the most reliable service. I'll never give up my hardline @ the house!

I gave up the hardline at home a couple years ago, we only have cell phones. We really have no need for anything else, and it would be an unneeded cost.

This is why I'm not a network engineer. I know little of what is being discussed!

When it comes to a home or small office network, I'm ok though.

Also, are you doing any serious file transfers between computers? THAT is where wired will rule the roost.

all advertised speeds for any network technology are theoretical or "up to" speeds that you will likely never get. anyway, just offering a quick and easy solution to the potential PITA wire fishing can be. it'll definitely be faster and more reliable, just up to you if it's worth it.

Exactly. How fast is your internet connection? My wireless speed tops out at about 17,000 kb.s transfer rate, where the wired will run up to about 22,000 (talking file transfer rate, more meaningful than 100MB ethernet rate) but it's not on anything wireless that I need that much speed, and not very often on the wired.

Firearms on an airplane is a bad idea, being that a shot going where it shouldn't could take an innocent life, or take down the plane. Air marshall's I'm sure are trained in this area, and should be fine. Knives should not even be questioned.

All in the name of public safety right? No thanks, I'll pass on flying internationally for now.

Guilty until proven innocent? Seems like it to me!

I'm glad I haven't been on a commercial flight since 2000! Geesh! What BS!

I am using wireless right now, but it's unstable at times and I'd like my office to be hard wired/wireless combo. I'll still be using wireless for laptops and gaming consoles, just want wired for my PC and work laptop.

Are you missing the big things or just things like RJ connectors and jazz?

I just don't have anything for fishing the wires. I have lot's of connectors.

I use most stuff on the wireless here, other than the PC, and the 2 servers. The servers were both in the closet where the router is, but now I have one in here, it helps a little bit with heat!

My download speed is a little bit faster than the wireless, so the PC that I use for downloading I wanted wired. I just have a cable poked up through the floor for it, behind the desk though, since I rent, I don't want to put in wall plates and stuff.

Wireless?

I have a few of the tools needed but not enough to take on a job.

Hey, not too many posts ago someone was arguing DRL are not headlights...

Some are, some aren't. My wife's are, well they're more like auto headlights, mine use the high beams and runs them at a dimmer level, some vehicles use seperate bulbs. No argument really, since there are so many variations, unless you want to discuss a particular vehicle.

can't afford to take any time off, bro, I needs every dime coming in...I'd like to keep the kat, and my house!

Who needs a house when you have bikes?

Naw it was always the 26th , that was just a bait and switch tactic to keep the riff raff away. It worked

Nice!

The magnetic field increases making it harder to turn.

That's what I was saying about trying to turn the pulley by hand with the belt off. You WILL feel the resistance, which I did not say is the magnetic field, soory for not being totally clear on that.

THAT'S the answer I was looking for. Points for you. However, running the headlights isnt going to increase the output of the alternator as the system is designed to handle that (assuming that every other part of the system is 100%)

Sorry, but that's wrong. Using a scan tool, I can read the amount that the computer is telling the alternator to output, and it WILL change. Care to guess how many amps those little headlight bulbs pull? It's usually 45-55 watts each, divide that by roughly 14 volts, which is what the typical charging systems maintains, so 90/14 is about 6.5 amps. That doesn't seem to be a lot, but on many newer cars, just running the engine pulls 30 amps, add the heater blower, radio, and other stuff, you're getting close to the capacity of the charging system really fast, therefore the headlights DO put more of a load on it, as it will be noticed more when the system is already loaded!

Yup. I've used my diesel to jump start a couple of cars. Never heard the idle drop once yet.

Dual batteries and higher output alternator, along with monster amounts of torque in the lower RPM range. It won't drop noticeably

And fwiw an alternator isn't a battery charger.

A new alternator will usually say to NOT use it to charge the battery, to make sure the battery is fully charged before starting the vehicle, to prevent damage to the alternator. The high load, all at once, upon startup will overheat the thing, killing the diodes or regulator.

You have a peni?? Yota's a guy?? WUUT????

Careful, MJ might get mad if you take that from her and twist it to work for Yota.......
