  1. Two Wheel Tuesdays at KilKare is pretty cool - athough I havent run since they started enforcing the kill switch rule. Not hard to do, just a pia.
  2. Love college basketball - wont mention my team since they have done a crash and burn this season. But the NCAA tournament is the best sports event going. I watch as many games as I can. (I like college bball, pro-football, that it.)
  3. "One sip and you'll know." ---------------------------->>> That it tastes like shit. lol
  4. Nah, I bought it before that ---actually I think I was the first VFRD member to jump out and buy one. I paid full price. It seemed that this generated some buzz on the thing and before I know it a group buy is going on. I would have jumped on the sale price. I still like it and will buy another when its time.
  5. I'm running a MOTY Lithium Iron battery in my VFR800. Small,light(1.7 lbs) and good power. No battery tender required. http://www.motydesign.com/ I ordered on a Monday and Wednesday it was in my mailbox...
  6. Holding some oil based stocks in as part of a portfolio is a good idea. Although for the moment it might be a bit of a gamble with the Libya situation going on. Oil stocks have jumped so, if you get in now, prepare to dump them if Libya goes postal and price peaks, and then if it calms down, you would take a loss if you had jumped in today. Roll the dice. Fortunately I've been in some oil related stocks for years. Its somewhat like gold stocks. --- The world blows up, oil goes up.
  7. Scottrade is a reasonable way to go, plus usually there is an office locally you can go to get something done. btw - with cheap stocks, there's a reason that their cheap! think about it. Sen10's list no thanks
  8. I have a State Farm insurance bike chart - bikes are rated from A to F for rate factor. A is best, F is worst, C is average -- From memory --- SH is an A, any CBR is an F, GSXRs are F. Go for the Hawk! A way cool ride.......
  9. Honda R/Rs suck and a lot of thier bike electrics suck, but there are good fixes out there. btw - I am a Honda guy
  10. Newbie rider, 22 years old.......... http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/dayton-news/man-hurt-riding-cycle-he-just-bought-1082480.html
  11. The thing that really gets me on this is that a for profit company is making money on a setup for people speeding. (- Hey I want that deal.) It just seems wrong and is a setup for a future law suit. If Dayton purchased the camera's and had a maintenence agreement that would be different, but with the current situation you have the camera company getting a kickback from a governent entity. That just doesnt set right by me. Any attorney want to take this one on?
  12. If you want I could crunch a few numbers for you and tell you if your nutz or not. Off the top of my head - your going from 2 rotor to 1, so right off the bat your cutting availiable braking in half and that may be tough to overcome. --- What I would do is take your stocker set numbers and compare to what you want to go to. Its a basic hydraulics problem. - I did the same exercise on my vfr. I would need - stock rotor diameter, stock caliper piston diameters, (are they 2 piston pin slider style or 2 & 2 opposed?) and take a quick measurement on the pivot on the stocker master cylinder. It is usually somewhere around 1/2". Then - new rotor diameter - new caliper piston dia and caliper style, 3 & 3 opposed? I may have missed something but this would get you going. -Cant knock it out today,gotta go to school, but could look at it tomorrow. PM me if you want to trade emails.
  13. That's some interesting stuff. Finally after clicking enuff boxes, I got it done. Back to some reality. This years deficit - 1.5 trillion. National debt around 14 trillion. Annual interest payment around 250 billion (correct me here if you know the exact number) - thats money pissed into the wind. Projection of interest payment with current rate of deficit for 2019 ---- 800 billion Approximate amount of deficit financed by the Chinese - 50% Amount proposed savings over 5 year by Obama - 400 billion. Is this an acceptable situation? Will it be sustainable? ---- tic tic tic

  17. Made it to the end of the track.. Geez this is damn goofy..lol :eek:
  18. Wow - that was pretty cool, the bike vs car. Gotta admit I was routing for the bike...
  19. Wow, you go thru bikes like breakfast. My head spins on what youve been thru in the last year. (not sayin thats a bad thing) Still got the FJR?
  20. In the spring they usually have some decent bike tire sale deals, but after that I agree, prices on are on the high side. Mostly I just buy my tires online and get them mounted there. They are still happy to have your business. (The owner there rides a Speed Triple.) Very occasionally the balance job is off and they have no problem redoing it for you. - Sometimes I have dropped off the wheel/tire on the way to work in the morning and picked it up on the way home in the evening. I've done quite a few bike tires there and no complaints.
  21. Jeez, I even told where to do it for 30 bucks.....
