~SOLD~ 1980 KZ 550 comes with 2 motors. One runs with valve tap noise, one doesn't run. Was a daily rider 2 weeks ago. Clear title in hand. Newer cables, chain, front tire, windshield. Original owners manual. Original Kawasaki service manual. Receipts going back to 1980, part numbers, wiring diagrams etc. Oh, and a full tank of gas too! Could use a new rear tire. Everything works except the engine. Yea, I know. That is kinda important but it does come with a spare. The mechanical issues are beyond my ability to deal with. I don't even have a garage to work on it in. So it has to go. No garage + winter coming + woman nagging = for sale PM me for info

Now you see it, now you don't: The mirrored motorcycle that almost disappears when it's moving It's the ultimate in minimalism - a reflective aluminium box on wheels from futuristic designer Joey Ruiter. Two years ago the Michigan-based inventor came up with the stripped bare bicycle named the Super Minimal City Bike, now he's turned to motorbikes. Ruiter opted to strip the motorbike of all its trappings, no fancy artwork or gleaming chrome. Instead he created a mirrored body which, when moving, practically vanishes from sight, almost giving the illusion of a man sitting and moving on his own.Called the Moto Undone it defies the aesthetic of two wheeled transportation. But what's under the hood? It's a 1000W, 48V electric hub motor that gives it a range of 90 miles, which is about three hours of motorbikin'.

Practicality tends to take a back seat when you combine sci-fi cult status with custom chopper building - and there's no room for a pillion passenger on the Lightcycle. We first spied Parker Brothers Choppers Lightcycle project last year when it surfaced in gas-powered form, now the company has released video of a fully-electric version of the neon-packing two-wheeler in action. The electric motor may be quieter, but this one's still guaranteed to turn heads. More here: http://www.gizmag.com/electric-lightcycle-parker-brothers/19897/ http://youtu.be/irkxIpNBJJU

ST. LOUIS • Drivers have reported huge packs of motorcycles swarming the highways around St. Louis, with the bikers pulling stunts, making hand gestures and forcing cars off the roadway. There has been no official word yet from the state highway patrol or other public safety officials. The reports started coming in around 2 p.m. from various spots on I-270 and I-70, most recently in the north St. Louis county area. Some claimed to see as many as 800 to 1,000 motorcycles in a pack.

The coolest thing is people are willing to help. Maybe not all of them but the rest did just fine. The kid is going to be ok albeit with a little different attitude about life.

How about the "Blue Screen Of Death"? Computer humour.

A happy Rider One for S'winger Killer Clown Spidey, of course.

Great minds think alike.... Really 1000lbs and 400cc's?!?

Looks like your on your own tonite. It's raining here...

http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2011/08/17/5_reasons_to_re-elect_barack_obama/page/full/ A little humor for this thread. You guys get so serious over this stuff. How many of you own stock in the voting machine companies? That's how you really pick a candidate. Well, it's almost 2012 and we all know what that means: Republicans will be out in full force, fracturing America's unity and campaigning on empty slogans like "hope and change." Of course, as we all now know, you don't "change" horses in mid-stream! Look at all the problems America has right now. The economy is in terrible shape, we're not creating jobs, we've lost our AAA rating, we're fighting three wars, gas prices are through the ceiling; it goes on and on. Only one candidate in the race has experience -- the most important qualification for dealing with those issues. By the time the election comes around, Barack Obama will have been President for four years, which will make him the most experienced candidate to be President! In fact, it's hard to figure out why anyone would want to replace Barack Obama. Of course, there is at least one reason that always instantly comes to mind. 1) You don't hate black people....do you? Gee, if only there were an obvious reason so many people don't like Obama. Something SKIN DEEP. Something everyone would notice immediately about him. What could that be? Hmmmmmm? No, it's not the SOCIALISM, you Tea Party smart-alecks! He's black! If he were white, do you know what his approval rating would be? What do you mean zero because he could have never been elected President if he weren't black? You guys think you're REAL funny, don't you? 2) Let me say one name: George W. Bush. Need I say more? Well, maybe I do since Bush now has a higher approval rating than Barack Obama. Here's the short version: Every good thing that's happened since Obama got into office is his fault, while every bad thing was inherited from Bush. What else did Obama inherit from Bush? Uh, I don't know, what? A AAA credit rating? Oh, VERY funny, Tea Partiers! That'll be enough from you for this column! Pick any bad thing: Debt? Bush's fault! Cash for clunkers? Bush's fault! Rain yesterday? Bush's fault! Some of Michelle Obama's more unfortunate wardrobe choices? Bush's fault! 3) If not for the stimulus and bailouts, we'd be in even WORSE shape! Many people think Obama's trillion dollar stimulus was a failure because his administration promised it would keep unemployment under 8% while our jobless rate has been above 9% since May of 2009. The same goes for the bailouts. Many people have called the bailout of General Motors a failure. Well, some people might think it wasn't worth losing 13 billion dollars in taxpayer dollars plus giving GM a 45 billion tax break to help a union that worked so hard to get Barack Obama elected, but who doesn't love loyalty? These guys aren't going to help Barack Obama get elected for nothing! Besides, what people don't understand is that the economy was even worse off than we thought and if we hadn't spent all that money, we'd be in real trouble now! It's sort of like playing Black Jack! Sure, you may lose your kid's college education fund at the tables one night, but if you hadn't lost all that money, it would just be sitting in the bank gathering dust -- and what good is that? 4) Need I remind you of who got Osama Bin Laden? In all of America's history, there may not have been a gutsier call than this one. It was a moment best compared to Truman making the decision to drop the A-bomb or Lincoln first calling up volunteers to fight the Civil War. The military walked up to Barack Obama and said, "We know where Osama Bin Laden is -- can we go shoot him in the forehead?" Barack Obama could have said, "No." He could have said, "You can go, but the only weapons you can use are biodegradable ninja stars." Instead, he boldly worked with his advisers to figure out how he could best exploit the killing of Osama Bin Laden politically, came up with a dashing plan to take as much credit as possible, and then, in a decision sure to be criticized by the powerful pro-Al-Qaeda lobby in D.C., he looked those generals square in the eyes and said, "Sure, g-g-g-go ahead and get Bin Laden -- well, if you think it'll be okay!" Now that's the kind of gutsy call that earns a man four more years in D.C.! 5) Are you going to really replace Obama with a REPUBLICAN? We all know that (Insert name of candidate who wins) is in the back pocket of the Tea Party and Rush Limbaugh. Additionally, is there anyone who'd deny that (Insert name of candidate who wins) is (stupid/crazy or crazy and stupid)? While Barack Obama is a centrist, (Insert name of candidate who wins) was the most EXTREME candidate in the race. If (Insert name of candidate who wins) is victorious, America will go back to the days of slavery! Medicare? Social Security? (Insert name of candidate who wins) has made it clear those programs are gone if Obama goes down! Moreover, it's impossible not to see what a racist (Insert name of candidate who wins) happens to be! Why, just look at (Insert completely irrelevant incident that would pass without notice if a Democrat did it). That proves beyond a shadow of a doubt (Insert name of candidate who wins) hates black people -- along with women, Muslims, Jews, gays, Hispanics! Don't take my word for it; just read what’s written at (Insert name of left-wing paper that has done the latest hatchet job). Why, even (David Frum and/or Meghan McCain and/or David Brooks and/or random former John McCain staffer) say that (Insert name of candidate who wins) is an EXTREMIST -- and they're diehard conservatives! Just goes to show that you can make any set of items look good or bad by how you explain them.

Nice!

Nowhere to go...This is going to hurt!

We are not alone in thinking that something is going on. Pollster: Americans Are “Pre-Revolutionary” http://www.infowars.com/pollster-americans-are-pre-revolutionary/ I'm not saying this guy is right or wrong. But I am pointing out that he is getting media attention with a straight face. People are reading it so they must be thinking things along these lines themselves.

You walked away, 'nuff said. Glad your ok.

see you then

Radar looks good. A chance to try out my new gears. +1 in the front.

Bump Who's going?

Figuring out what it is that you have found would be quite a feat. Getting it to be a co-originated attack vector seems a little remote, pardon the pun.

C U there

Love the title!

More fun with IT - at least it's full time
