Likwid

haha, thanks... lol I won't be getting rid of it, I got it from Sharper Image earlier this year, I love it

lol, I use some crappy chain lube from the auto parts store

I keep bumping the underside of the table lol

Don't listen to flounder, he doesn't even have a rifle and has never shot one. jk of course, good luck with the search Quick search on OFCC: stevens round reciever staggerfeed action w/ savage stainless fluted varmint barrel, w/ 6.5x20x50 optics. $500

Ahhh "A propellant (originally a low-molecular weight hydrocarbon, now carbon dioxide) provides gas pressure in the can to force the liquid through the spray nozzle, then itself diffuses away."

My desk is a tempered glass top ~.25-.5 inches thick... and I'd like to make sure I don't break it. Before you ask, no I'm not trying to break it. But I keep doing stupid things like bumping stuff against it... these things should be pretty sturdy but I've heard horror stories of glass desks. Anyway, just looking for some assurance "it's not going to break relax"

Damn, that's what I get for skimming You're not on ignore homey

Well the problem with what you've said is that the rear tire loses it's gyroscopic power as it's slowed down, the faster the wheels are moving the more upright the bike wants to stay, this is why you have to counter-steer. Now, just to "correct" your first sentence "You're only going to high-sided if you've allowed the rear wheel to step out from behind the bike though." 2 things need to happen, 1 the tire needs to slip out... but 2 you must RESUME tire movement before the tire is back in-line. So, locking the rear wheel isn't necessarily bad, but you should NOT let go of the brake until you are stopped or 100% sure the tire is inline with your path of movement. Contrary to a front wheel lock, where you should immediately release pressure and reapply. But either way, this is all moot, if you're smart enough to know all this AND apply it in a panic situation you're golden :-D

No, any private employer/property owner/property manager may prohibit anyone from being in their property for any reason other than protected classes (gender, age, race, creed etc). So to answer your question, "does this prevent the restaurant owner from putting one of those little 'no gun' signs in the window?" NO, it does not.

From what I've read, WD-40 does NOT damage o-rings or x-rings.... HOWEVER, the propellant in the can supposedly does. This is just what I've read, I'm not sure if it's 100% true but it made sense to me.

Well yah, if you know you are about to crash you should leap from the bike and roll. lol, I hate you UP :-D <3

Rear brake provides 25% give or take of your stopping power... as you said, UNLESS the rear wheel is off the ground, it's doing something. Rear brake presents OTHER issues though, like high siding.

Show me the facts. "While ABS offers improved vehicle control, and may decrease stopping distances on dry and especially slippery surfaces, it can also increase braking distance on loose surfaces such as snow and gravel" ABS lets the wheel turn while braking to avoid a skid, even if that's a millimeter then you've added 1 millimeter OVER a controlled no-skid brake.

NOTHING stops faster than a controlled no skid brake. NOTHING, not locked tires, not ABS, not dumping the bike. </thread>

I know where OP is getting this topic from, but is there a particular article/news story that triggered this?

It's just an excuse like others have said.

Agreed, "So you want a criminal to steal something out of my car rather than having me concealing a firearm?" It just doesn't make sense. When I go for rides with folks here and it's time for lunch I say "I'm open to anything, but if you guys want a place that serves alcohol I'll have to meet you up after lunch"... the last ride someone suggested Chipotle, I said "I can't, but I can grab something at the place next door" usually people just say "well let's go somewhere else instead.

I'd give it a shot....

Dude I think you're misleading/uninformed... Vote Yes creates a board to create laws "protecting" livestock. Vote No lets farmers continue status quo. imho neither is a great option but I'm against putting in an ammendment that does nothing more than creating a beauracracy to setting standards. Now, why are people saying this puts farms out? Because that little section I posted... this board is authorized to create standards based on providing LOCAL farms with jobs. So if China is too competitive this board could, in essence, allow Ohio farmers to do whatever it takes. End of the day: Vote Yes creates a board Vote No continues status quo

Each and every humane society is essentially independent. Either way, I won't support an ammendment that serves to create a beaucracy (at least not this one)... we need animal rights, not a committee that may create some.

Also, the Humane Society points out these facts http://www.hsus.org/legislation_laws/ballot_initiatives/ohio_issue_2.html

No shit? The police claim there's no problem?!?
