  1. Is that the show by J.J. Abrams? Well watched the second episode and still wandering how their is a fat guy in it but oh well. I will probably wait to its over then watch it. Since its tv and based on ratings lets see how far this show will make it. I hope its not one of those shows that just continues for no reason. I loved lost and fringe.

  2. It has been brought to my attention that my comment was taken out of context.  Dudes a new rider, probably overwhelmed with the new costs of motorcycle,gear,insurance, possible motorcycle work to get said bike roadworthy. I never once said your program was not worth the cash, but to a new rider whom is tight on cash, and is trying to do things right, its hard to fork out another 200 bucks. I was there once. We all were. I remember searching your closeout sections for gear on the cheap because I could not afford anything else.  All I was trying to say was that if money is an issue, alternatives are there, instead of spending 200 dollars. I took my MSF course in troy, for a mere 25 dollars. No, it wasn't your cream of the crop hand picked instructors, but they sure taught me a hell of a lot. 

     

    It use to be $25 but this year it was raised to $50. Something to the effect that the motorcycles cost to maintain. Either way its still cheap. I agree with you that $200 is a lot but like IP said there not funded by the tax payers and there a business. I know I used $200 towards gear because Im not a baller. I have some more money and if classes were no longer available I would pay IP the money now. I know my baller sister paid over $300 for her Harley Davidson msf course.

  3. Not very confusing. Maybe just some mixed terminology.

    There are 2 methods to get a full Motorcycle license in Ohio.

    First

    1. Pass written test

    2. Get temporary permit

    3. Pass riding test

    4. Get motorcycle endorsement / MC license

     

    Second

    1. Pass written test

    2. Get temporary permit

    3. Take MSF course and pass final test

    4. Get MC endorsement

     

    The second method is the recommended method for new riders as you learn alot during the couple days on the course. Plus you get to use their bikes and dont have to worry about dropping yours during the initial learning stage.

    i separate test and license steps because these are actually different government agencies and may have different site or at least different desks in your location. 

     

    Your temporary permit is good for one year and restricts you from freeways, riding at night and with passengers. 

    Your full endorsement restricts you to riding with a helmet for the first year.

    Ohio has no engine size or power restrictions for any riders.

    PS take the MSF course. Try walk in if local courses are full. Or schedule in a different county. I noticed that less populous counties seem to have more slots available.

     

    Great post. I love this thread.

  4. Ha. I gave you negative rep. Oops. 

     

    lol. Your the admin you can fix it. Why only 2 stars? You should be a 5 star admin ftw. I would like to go to this event or at least watch it on tv. My r6 is no where even close to the busas with turbo's on them lol. I did see a gsxr 600 with a turbo on it.

  5. Okay, I was wondering how to use a controller on a PC since I'm not going to use the keyboard.  This is looking like the better option for me at the moment.  

     

    Use you can buy the wireless adapter for the pc or if you have a wired 360 controller just plug it in to the usb on your pc. Go to the games option and it will say controller or on some games it will just work right away. If you use windows it will download the drivers for the 360 controller right away.

  6. Not to mention the keyboard and mouse are superior when it comes to FPS games.

     

    Yes lol. I have played fps games on the controller for a long time and even did mlg. The keyboard and mouse allow me to do things and have a faster reaction time then the analog controller. More buttons and I can use macros lol. I use the twin laser rat 7 gaming mouse.

  7. On a side note you can use the xbox 360 controller on a lot of the newer games if you want to. The original Crysis on ultra beats any 360 game or ps4 game. The programming on that game is on a different level. That game came out in 2007. Also more ram and processing power means you can play Battlefield 3 with 64 people on multiplayer. The 360 and ps3 can not do this.

  8. What's the appeal of PC gaming? Ive never gamed on a PC so pretty ignorant on how the whole process works.

     

    I may be inclined to switch since I need a new desktop...

     

    I like both but I enjoy my pc games better. Depends on your pc specs. If you have a build like mine then you can run ultra on every game at 1080p. The graphics are better and they run smoother at a high fps. You can do 3D gaming if your into that. No slowdowns and more ram allows the games to have more things going on in them. I prefer the keyboard and mouse over any analog controller. A laser mouse is more accurate and makes my gaming experience better. I love to play real time strategy games and the 360 does not have the processing power or ram to run a game like Shogun Total War 2. Seeing thousands of samurai fight each other being to control and see all their animations is the best. There is probably more but I usualy wait till the games go on sale and get them at 75% off with all the dlc. Got Saints Row the third for $11 for everything when my friend paid over $100 for the samething on the 360. I know you can resell the digital copy but I buy that game knowing I will play it a lot. Crap I played Rome Total War for 6 years and I still love. The processing speeds on the ai are amazing.

  9. GTFO you PC gaming nerds  :beating:

     

    lol I have the xbox 360 and ps3 and I built my own pc gaming rig. What now? I am a nerd and I love it. You lift bro? :cheers:

  10. I looked around and saw no reference to that statement, including hitting most of the major game sites from a year or two ago...stopped paying attention to gaming news over the last few years.  One European retailer has the console avaiable for pre-order for £400 or....$600....but that means jack.

     

    I did find some other interesting stuff, seems like the only thing that will port over to the new xbox is music and video purchases.  I take that to mean live accounts with port over as well, since there hasn't really been any direct confirmation of that.  Basically no games will port over including: full titles, downloaded, arcade, and indie...and probably the avatar games everyone has forgotten about.  

     

    Just watch the official Micosoft press conference from May 21st about the Xbox One. He announces the price as being $500. Im not sure about xbox live. I just read it somewhere and heard it from some friends. Also heard games will cost $70 for the xbox one.

  11. they fit true indeed. I have the older version of these and love them and this version look even better!

     

    Thanks bad. I have some tcx boots but they are longer and not really the best for street riding. I'm thinking about getting these because it will be for the street.

  12. Hasn't been a movie made in over 13 years that would entice me into paying the ridiculous ticket prices for a less than comfortable pile of seats filled with disrespectfully loud mouthed parents who pride themselves in ignoring their spawn's lack of public composure within the confines of an inclimate room where the only escape is a long walk to the distant toilets :nono:

    I've got absolutely zero problem waiting several short months until it's out on mod, rent, or buy.

     

    Go to a midnight show. I never have any problems at all with those. Seems to be more nerds and geeks there.

  13.  

     

     

    That seems to be speculation.  I see it being worse than that.  

     

     

    Looks like it for xbox live. The actual cost for Xbox One is $500 and this was confirmed by the head of Microsoft at the conference.

  14. The new Iron Man was great. whoever told you otherwise is wrong and there opinion is now void.

     

    I agree about the Fast and Furious UNTIL they made Fast Five, that was a great movie in the series and probably the best one.  Im sure Fast 6 will be just as good.

     

    Hangover..... your right but its for the laughs even if it is laughing at stupid shit.... I have yet to go into a Hangover movie and not come out after laughing alot.... To each his own i suppose.

     

    New Star Trek was MUCH better than the first one and I highly reccomend you see it.

     

    :)

     

    Hangover tonight buddy. Iron Man 3 is great and it already broke a billion at the box office and is in the top 10 movie list of all time already. Up to you about seeing it. Why go by what somebody says? I see all the movies that I think will be good and dont really care about what people will say. I wil make my own opinion.
