  1. Just a guess sight un-seen. Bad capacitors on the power board. $10 at radio shack.
  2. Nice find. Doesn't look to bad either. UJM's area bit of fun to play with. Good luck on your new toy.
  3. MILWAUKEE (AP) — Harley-Davidson will unveil its first electric motorcycle next week, and President Matt Levatich said he expects the company known for its big touring bikes and iconic brand to become a leader in developing technology and standards for electric vehicles. Harley will show handmade demonstration models Monday at an invitation-only event in New York. The company will then take several dozen riders on a 30-city tour to test drive the bikes and provide feedback. Harley will use the information it gathers to refine the bike, which might not hit the market for several more years. The venture is a risk for Harley because there's currently almost no market for full-size electric motorcycles. The millions of two-wheeled electric vehicles sold each year are almost exclusively scooters and low-powered bikes that appeal to Chinese commuters. But one analyst said investment by a major manufacturer could help create demand, and Levatich emphasized in an interview with The Associated Press that Harley is interested in the long-term potential, regardless of immediate demand. more here: http://www.seattlepi.com/news/us/article/Harley-Davidson-introduces-electric-motorcycle-5563978.php
  4. Is disco making a comeback?!?
  5. MIAMI BEACH (CBSMiami) — A 19-year-old motorcyclist from Miami Beach who the Florida Highway Patrol clocked at more than 150 miles per hour on I-75 on Monday near Naples says he lost track of his speed during his “thrill ride” and never intended to elude the troopers who followed him. FHP also released dramatic dash cam video to CBS4 that shows the motorcyclist going so fast that two troopers were unable to keep up with him. 150mph, tickets issued. video at link below http://miami.cbslocal.com/2014/06/13/exclusive-motorcyclist-clocked-at-150-mph-on-i-75-speaks-out/ Guerra said he purchased his CBR 600 Honda motorcycle second hand for $4,000.
  6. Really? Can you get some pics? That would be awesome!
  7. In a smooth Aussie twang, David Burder shares his philosophy - the man with the biggest toy wins. It's best not to argue with a man with a V8-powered chainsaw, so it seems, he's right. For the last 18 months, Burder has morphed a 1979 Holden engine into a loud, proud V8 chainsaw - which he claims to be the only one of its kind in the world. "In America they have two-man V8 chainsaws but this is the only single-man one in the world as far as I know." Burder, from the Whitlands in the middle of Victoria, said his beast weighs 330kg and runs on standard 91 octane petrol. The 1.2m blade can cut through a log half a metre thick in around two seconds. "It makes a lot of noise and a lot of sawdust," he said. He admitted it would be impractical to market, and simply made the monster for fun. "It's just a toy, but I'm born of the opinion he who has the best toy wins." http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/farming/fieldays/10143443/V8-powered-chainsaw-monster-is-just-a-toy
  8. I should start by saying that if you are looking for a “Pajama party Barbie Jeep” you my friend, should keep looking. If you are looking for a short description of to the beast before you, I can offer you two words “MEAT & POTATOES”. This is the All American chariot of the free world. You are not dealing with any ordinary, cookie cutter Jeep son. This thing was forged from a single block of all American Tungsten Steel. Real sturdy! From that day forward my life has never been the same. Winch yourself off that couch and see if you can handle this Jeep Wrangler Sahara. So if you are looking for a rice burning hatch back, a solar powered liberal mobile, or even a Hyundai crossover keep on looking my friend this thing is a piece of red white and blue Americana Machinery. This baby’s pulse is pumping 4.0 liters of uncensored raw fuel through her straight six nuclear power plant. And rest assured this is no metro feminine automatic. . .you command her to obey, with your calloused hand planted firmly on the shifter. And she will obey, the first time, every time. If you can’t handle your stick shifter, or reach the clutch pedal, you better not ferry skip over here wanting to test drive her. If you stall her out, you can count on getting hit in the face with a piece of re-bar and sent back where you came from. It has A/C but are you kidding me….Really! If you want to blow the sweat off your brow, you do it the old fashioned way: doors off, top down. “What if it rains?”. . .You whiney bitch! I told you to stop reading. . . Any man who drives this beast doesn’t give a damn about rain. Not even skin melting acid rain, Cause he’s already dripping wet in blood, sweat, dip spit, and fish guts. If you are looking for the kind of jeep that has to be pansy parked in the garage, so the “carpet doesn’t get wet and soggy” Then you should plant your Obama sticker on some Japanese piece of s***. Cause this thing has drain holes in the floor and rhino lined to let the blood drain out from the buffalo you just killed, with your bare hands. Because you are William Wallace from Braveheart and when you get home you can leave your “sissy sponge glove car wash kit” in the pink bucket it came in. Go ahead and spark up your 6000 psi heated pressure washer on the dually trailer in your man cave, cause you are Tim Gillespie and you can pressure wash your truck on the inside. She’s got rhino lined floors with a full roll cage in case that buffalo comes back to life while you’re doing 80 over some mountain pass or flooded river. If you’re thinking about Mexican chrome bumpers for her, think again. The bumper bashers come hand forged in a blacksmith shop in Franklin County over a wood burnin fire, out of 4 inch well casing, and railroad tracks and then I welded em to the damn chassis. That way if you get deployed you can piggy back this war wagon on a deuce and a half and chain her down tight from the four corners, so you don’t lose her when your convoy gets hit by a taliband roadside suicide bomber. And forget about putting one of those “It’s a Jeep Thing. . .You wouldn’t understand” stickers on this machine cause when you’re spotted in this American Classic there will be no questions, no further explanation required, people will understand and get out of your way. . …real quick. If you think you’re ready to park this panty hauler on your tract of land. If you buy this jeep you better go get your old lady ready for some damn changes around your lair, cause this s** will be happening. What will be Happening? Glad you asked…. 1. More chest hair. 2. You’re growing a beard. 3. Meat Only Diet. 4. T-Rex for a pet. 5. You’re taking a job at the lumber mill. 6. Your car carries five kegs. 7. [Expletive Deleted] 8. Catch more fish. 9. Wire bristled toothbrush. 10. Sex in the yard. 11. Sex in the garage. 12. All male offspring. 13. Chiseled jaw line. 14. Not giving a damn. 15. Flesh turning to steel. 16. Higher salary 17. Promotions. 18. Better looking wives. 19. Better looking mistresses. 20. More golfing 21. More killing stuff. 22. More dead animals in the KITCHEN freezer. 23. More tools in your garage. 24. Bigger TV 25. Wife takes out the trash 26. Four Wheel Drive 27. Wife brings trash can in from road. 28. Wife stops bitching about clothes on floor. 29. Wife stocks fridge with beer. 30. Chuck Norris. 31. John McCain 32. Steaks for dinner. 33. Winning the Lottery. 34. Women on the side. 35. Wrestling with bea 36. Building sh** out of stone. 37. Riding Lawn Mower. 38. Bon Fires in cul-de-sac. 39. Bar Fights. 40. Wife picks you up from Thee Gentlemen’s Club. 41. Craftsman Tools. 42. Jay Bisset. 43. Welding stuff. 44. Digging holes. 45. Huge Piece of meat. Put your GPS back in your purse. Sounds good doesn’t it? This jeep has carried me through 155,000 miles of battlefield twice as gruesome as the second half of the movie “300″. . ..And just like a trusty steed this juggernaut has never left me stranded. If you think you’ve worn her out you drag this beast back to me in any condition. And Ill handle the rest. But if you think you’re going to get to whip this mule you better pony up Sixty Five Hundred Dollars. . .American Cash. I’m not selling you this car unless you are clearly a pure blooded American Species, so don’t even think about it.
  9. http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/105076-more-immigrant-kids-arrive-in-arizona/ They are showing up apparently. Not taking sides on the issue but pointing out we are adding to the population at a pretty fast clip anyway.
  10. A minor addition to the private vs. government train of thought is the government has a thing called the IRS which the privateers do not. The ramifications of that addition is pause for thought. Also there does not seem to be any limitation on the practice. Once begun it would go on forever not just the length of the loan.
  11. we are being invaded by more people per year than there were troops on d-day.
  12. Un-aware of this particular site. But it is a "Best Practice" kind of thing to do anyway. http://www.policechiefmagazine.org/magazine/index.cfm?fuseaction=display_arch&article_id=2431&issue_id=72011 etc etc etc.... https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=police+seize+cell+phone https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=police+install+keystroke+logger+remotely https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=police+plant+evidence+computer And of course the NSA thing. Not that you have anything to hide so why should they look?
  13. Car was crossing the road. Bike was coming off of Sawmill down Federated. ER Nurse at the scene said two broken legs possible other injuries. Not a good intersection.
  14. Dude did a wheelie in traffic - this is what happened...
  15. If they already did, why would they need this: "an expansion of their joint National Mortgage Database Program to include personally identifiable information that reveals actual users, a reversal of previously stated policy." ???
  16. The M.E.'s ruling is interesting. A "politically neutral" statement on a "Hot Button" issue. Clearly they want out of this controversy. Queue the usual protesters, film at 11...
  17. As many as 227 million Americans may be compelled to disclose intimate details of their families and financial lives -- including their Social Security numbers -- in a new national database being assembled by two federal agencies. The Federal Housing Finance Agency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau posted an April 16 Federal Register notice of an expansion of their joint National Mortgage Database Program to include personally identifiable information that reveals actual users, a reversal of previously stated policy. The database will also encompass a mortgage holder’s entire credit history, including delinquent payments, late payments, minimum payments, high account balances and credit scores, according to the notice. The two agencies will also assemble “household demographic data,” including racial and ethnic data, gender, marital status, religion, education, employment history, military status, household composition, the number of wage earners and a family’s total wealth and assets. Only 12 public comments were submitted during the 30-day comment period following the notice's April 16 publication. More here: http://washingtonexaminer.com/new-federal-database-will-track-americans-credit-ratings-other-financial-information/article/2549064 Interesting, it would seem that in the digital age the definition of privacy is changing one law at a time. Your information is not yours anymore. No longer will the alphabet soup agencies be the only government agencies with access to massive databases. "The Government" has such a good track record with their website/database security that they are totally trustworthy and would never abuse the citizen information. Paging Winston Smith...
  18. So the next question is: Is the world a safer place when Obama is playing golf?
