  1. Im going to re-design mine like that but the ball wont be offset from the stem "clamp" so to speak.
  2. Here's mine i made. I have some extra if your steering stem hole is the same your welcome to it. I about 99% sure the ball is the same size on all Garmin GPS mounts
  3. My wife thinks the same way. She also thinks Valentines Day is just one notch above Sweetest. I did wash her car for here today. Really only because i allready had the power washer out.
  4. If i dont give myself alcohol poisoning saturday night im game.
  5. Well here's alittle more progress. Finally got the bars powder coated. Also got around to painting the headlight and speedo. Also hacked the old exhaust in half in hopes to just move the sound farther behind me. To my suprise there was a baffle in the section i was going to use. Its alittle quieter but not the sound im looking for but its gonna have to work for now. I still need a few odd and ends but its rideable. I would say about 95% done. Just need some leather tassels, bandanna and a pack of cigs to roll up in my t-shirt sleeve. I had it out over the weekend and forgot to put a mirror on it and it drove me crazy not being able to see behind me. Not to mention illegal.

  10. I havent been in a few years but there are 2 motocross tracks. One big and another small. Plenty of trails to ride also. Also you can try Devils Staircase and spend the rest of the day with a flat or bent rim. IMO its more fun just to sit at the bottom and whatch. When i first started going 7 years ago or so it was like the wild west. Seemed like no rules with the alchohol flowin. Mainly with the truck/buggy crowd. Last time i went it seemed alittle more organized. Also if you break down or get stuck DO NOT leave whatever your ridin or driving unattended. Especially at night. A guy i work with goes all the time and says that people will strip out your truck if caught in the trails unattended. He slept in his broke down truck one night just to make sure it wasnt sittin on blocks by sun up. Also ive seen a POS ford taurus get stuck by a mud hole by the drag strip. He walked away then 2 trucks from the other direction started running it over. Wild west i tell ya. It may have changed but its still fun for what it is.
  11. Sometimes the bargaining power is a hinderance. I am one of the few "young guys" at my work at 32. For the past few years our group plans premium has skyrocketed. At the begining of the year a couple of us "young guys" dropped the employer plan and went private. I dumped United Heath Care and then on my own bought better coverage United Health Care for just at half the cost. O and thats a family plan. Someone correct me if i'm wrong but,I'm pretty sure i read in Obamacare that if you make under $88,000 for a family you get gubment subsidies starting in 2011 or 2012 to help pay for your premiums. Something you should look into. Cant hurt.

    Punk i've had close calls myself. I have been in the same field for 10yrs. Your exactly right "stupid dumbfuck" things happen. One time i was lifting a 5-600lb weldment with the crane. I put a boiler clamp on it, got distracted walked away for 5 minutes or so and came back. Started lifting it "assuming" i had tightend the clamp before i walked away. About 2 ft. off the ground the clamp walked right off the part hit the ground and fell over. It just barley hit me in the back of the leg. Another time on a lathe i was putting chuck jaws in. Usually i put them in just snug enough to hold them in and turn the spindle on about 150 rpm to see if they are in right. But for whatever reason it fired up to 3000 rpm with the door open and slung all 3 off in about a nano second. So fast i didnt even see them fly off. One of them could have easly smashed me in the face. Luckily i havent been seriously hurt. But hey shit happens thats why they are called accidents. Now if you do it again............
  13. My Gsxr is the main bike on my policy and the Honda is added. Also i am the only insured rider for both bikes. Anyone else is pretty much you wreck it you just bought it. I dont let anyone ride it anyways so its not a problem. I went and got tags today and took it out for a shake down run. Still needs some tweakin but the good thing is i didnt have to walk back.
  14. Just insured my 73' Honda for a wopping $9 a year.

    Yes....Yes it does.
  17. usually i fish the east and west sides of Kelly's Island. 10mi. out of Marblehead puts me in Canada. I would hate to get caught doing that. 10lb'ers have been few and far between but definalty hit our limits with quality fish. Or do you have a secret spot your willing to cough up.
  18. I'll give you that. Michigan waters are alot cleaner. I've been salmon fishing on Lake Michigan. Didnt quite catch the numbers or size i would have liked to seen but still good times. I was there just before they ran up the river.
  19. As long as you throw'em back so i can catch them in the spring! Man your missin out. Soak them in milk, batter then fry.
  20. Hit the stillwater river with the neighbor on labor day and we did pretty good. Caught these two at the same time. We were going down some rapids and i casted ahead below the fast water. The one on the rear hook hit it first. Felt it was small and waited to reel it in until he got the the back of the boat. About the time it was beside the boat i thought man this little dink sure got heavy. Started to reel it in then saw that another smallie thought he was gonna deebo a meal but got a mouth full of trebles instead. Not monsters but sure is a good way to start the day!

  22. I was at work when it happened. I remember at lunch everyone was sitting around their cars listening to the radio's, Nobody really said anything all just sat and listened. It was like there wasnt any road traffic either. Just seemed like time stopped with and erie silence. Then when i got home there was about ten of us just glued to the TV still in disbelief.
  23. I know that Ohio and Kentucky do. Had OH. liscense suspended for a KY. offense 7 or 8 yrs. ago. I didnt even know till a wildlife officer wrote me a ticket for not enough lifevests in my jon boat almost a year later. I even re-newed my plates no problem.
