  1. No, this is not a thread about which battery to buy. I already bought a new one. Anyway, The guy at Batteries Plus checked the new battery before I left the store and said it was a little low and to put it on a battery tender. I got the battery installed today and put it on the tender. it's been on there for about 6 hours. I just disconnected the tender and turned the key and it does nothing. With the tender connected the lights come on and I could probably start it (haven't actually tried). So my question is, how long will it take for this battery to be charged, or do you believe there is something else wrong with it. I had 11.?? volts before I hooked it, not sure what it is at now, I will check it later wife wants to go for groceries..... The old battery had about 12.6V after I pulled it out of the bike but it was fluctuating, the lowest I say it go was about 6V. It started giving me issues the end of last year, most of the time it would start up without a problem, but occasionally it would take awhile or drain the battery before starting. I haven't had an issue with it this year until Saturday. At one of the stops it actually took longer than normal to start and had me concerned. Hence, the reason I got a new one. Thanks in advance.
  2. Midget Todd wasn't trying to push them over, he just wasn't tall enough to get on them properly. I'm sure if someone brings a step stool, we'll be just fine.
  3. sheesh, if the two of you wanted to go to waffle house you could have just said something. j/k
  4. Yeah I don't believe the resistors are needed, they are just used to slow the blinking of the turn signals.
  5. Damn your an evil bastage!! But I'm glad I just finished my on-call week. A few of us are meeting at the shopping center at the corner of Waggoner Rd and E. Main St and heading over from there at 8:30 on Saturday morning. If anyone else wants to meet up with us LMK. I am planing on taking Main to Hamilton, Hamilton to Williams, and Williams to 23. We will probably grab a quick breakfast too, like Tim Hortons or something.
  6. I am right around the corner from you, and I have a 28 footer. If you wanna borrow it gimme a call at 614-893-0186. I will not be on here for awhile.
  7. I like all the ideas, I was looking forward to the scavenger hunt as the pictures from a few years ago looked like a lot of fun. The Meet and Greets were a blast from a few years ago as well and I'm guessing the cookout would be much the same. Shallowtail afterwards is a great idea too. If you do the cookout, are you planning on buying a ton of food and just charging, or having everyone make stuff and bring it? I'm good either way just curious.
  8. Me too..... Wanna hug? waht
  9. Insight does not offer service where you live, you will have to go with TW unless WOW is out there, but I don't think they are.

    Seriously? You have officially failed at life. Just google "I'm your Huckleberry". I shouldn't have to explain this.

    Catalfinos?

    What time are you doing this? I will be there just need to know what time. I know you said after 7, does that mean 7 or 7:30? I may get there a bit early since my daughter will be hungry before 7. LMK
  15. I was glad to be a part of this also. Sorry for your loss those that knew Garrett. I don't believe I ever had the privilege of meeting him, but as mentioned, by the turnout he must have been a great guy. RIP.
  16. I believe I am going to make this as well. I am awaiting confirmation fro the boss man.

    Yeah I would have been pissed off about that too. The power supply replacement for me was the end of last year. Hopefully the issue you had isn't a trend. I really like their PSs I'd hate to have to switch to something else because they have crappy CS.

    I may swing down with the family since the Wife doesn't have early OT on Thursday. I could use a ride and tomorrow is supposed to be beautiful.

    Looks like it has good reviews, 80+ certified for efficiency, and it's modular. Yeah I would say it's better..... Here are some specs.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152043 Even if you don't buy from newegg, they have specs for just about everything.

    You should really reconsider the power supply. Not the power, but the manufacturer. It never ceases to amaze me, when people spend $300 on video card or $150 on a case, then turn around and buy the cheapest power supply they can find. Because as you know power is just power. <--- Sarcasm just in case you missed it. Now I'm not saying you need to spend $300 on a power supply, but the one you have selected has some bad reviews and cost $36 bucks. You can google xtremegear 700w power supply and read the threads. The PS on their site seem a bit expensive. Too bad they don't have a "No Power Supply" option. You could buy a much better one for cheaper from newegg or Microcenter. I am running a 550W OCZ Fatality modular 80+ certified PS and I think I paid about $55 for it. It works great and OCZ stands behind their product. Out of the 50 or 60 OCZ power supplies I have used on builds over the last few years I had 1 fail about 2 years after purchase. I shipped the failed supply to them and they shipped a re-certified unit right back and paid the shipping both ways. Edit: I'm not saying OCZ is the best, but 1 or 2 failures out of 50 or 60 isn't bad. Especially since the one that failed was located in the middle of the sticks in PA. (power sucks out there)
