  1. Datz cool. The mirrors on both bikes are a pain in the ass to get a good view from, this could be a nice (expensive) alternative.
  2. Coshocton, and on the way from Newark to Coshocton in particluar..
  3. Ok, ok. A quick threadjack (worse than it is already) I saw a show about Johnny Cash on Bio channel the other night, and good ole Al Gore was one of the people they had talking about him! I just found it a bit odd. So, I guess Al invented the music industry, too?
  4. My cell phone (Sprint, Samsung Instinct) even does that! The software is crap otherwise, and get's lost and tells you to turn around when you're going the right way, but it will give you a turn by turn!
  5. Really? Does the government know of this claim? I thought the government owned the GPS satellites?
  6. My issue would be the stuff that's practically beside you, that would be closer than the view of the camera? Would you be missing some stuff, possibly making a blindspot worse? I look over my shoulder often, anyway, just curious.
  7. That's more realistic for you.... With all the crap I give you, I'm almost afraid of the day I meet you in person! (might fall on me and squash me?)
  8. It's all about attitude, That Dude is getting a ticket, or worse! (Bubba's waiting for That Dude!!! )
  9. Looking back over most of the questions here, the biggest factor is going to be the rider, their attitude, and how they're riding. License plate lighting for example. Say 2 bikes have no license plate illumination. One is revving the engine, making himself known, the other just being calm and cool. The guy making a scene has given LEO a reason to watch him, and the license plate illumination (lack of) gives the LEO reason to stop the rider. Same for face shield being open. With the shield open, you have no eye protectionand CAN be cited for it, but if you're moving at a low speed, and not seeking attention, you'll probably not have anything to worry about. This is sort of like my thoughts on ATGATT. It's more about the attitude of someone going through the process of putting oon all the right gear, than the actual wearing of the gear. I think you can probably get away with MUCH more stuff, such as plate illumination, novice riders being out when and where they shouldn't, etc... IF you're riding respectfully, and not trying to draw attention to yourself.
  10. I spoke with the local police chief on this, and said that even though it's not explicity against the law, there are many other laws that apply, that make it illegal, such as the "lanes and lines" rules.
  11. Not a hater, just an instigator!
  12. Gotta do something to have fun waiting for dinner to be done.
  13. Fixed for you! (someone had to say it...)
  14. I just read the OP again, and I get what they're saying, that the health risk to their employees would be the issue. Gloves and mask anyone? I remember when working at a computer store a couple coming in that were so bad you would think the computer itself was doing the smoking! Major yux!!!!
  15. Does it say anywhere that it is detrimental to the computer in question? If not, STFU Apple! Is it in their warranty anywhere?
  16. Seriously?!?!?! Do they REALLY think that every country in the world is going to abide by their "war rules"? I think not. They took the beating of that leader TOTALLY out of context. Wasn't it a rogue nation or something that did the beating? It's not as if it was the player, or the "good guys" side. Geesh. I think COD4 is more realistic than their ambitions for one big happy world!
  17. He just fed the resident "liberal troll"....
  18. Gotcha! Exactly right, we don't have to hear about it riding down the road.
  19. Ok, I was gonna leave that one alone, but now that someone else chimed in, do tell....
  20. I hope you're not talking about my Hon-duh! You'd have to be on a moped for that thing to outrun you! ( truth)
  21. Brrrr.... COLD! I'm getting older, and don't handle the crashes as well as the last time I went to the "slopes of Ohio" (hills...) I really need to start out at least walking, work up to a jog. I'd be lucky to run or jog 1/4 mile without being winded.....
