  1. Sounds like it's returned to where it was three years ago. I remember spending $26 filling a full tank on the FJR with REGULAR gas in Orange County (and their prices are few cents cheaper because it's slightly lower sales tax there). I feel bad for my family back there right now. WTF is right.
  2. Will you at least sterilize the pliers and angle grinder? Oh wait, is that what the liquor is for?
  3. I'd agree with that, especially when building custom PC towers. Been an AMD user for over ten years and I run nothing but those on my personal machines. They're cheaper, run just as fast (if not faster), and are easy to overclock (if you really had to). It comes in quite handy when you're editing and rendering HD video. Still unsure about AMD laptops, though. Has heat dissipation on those chips improved? I figure if it's gotten good enough to throw in a laptop then it's probably okay. I love my Toshibas. My current Toshiba is a netbook that I'm running Linux Mint on and it's flawless...great for those campouts at Barnes and Noble or Panera Bread. Last one I owned before that was a Portege that I bought used on eBay in high school and was my main traveling laptop halfway through college. All it needed was a quick RAM upgrade and a wireless card to keep up with the times. You realize very quickly that if you're just doing office work, e-mail, etc. having an overkill machine isn't necessary at all.
  4. Not looking forward to getting that done, and I have several impacted ones and I really don't want to be derailed from work right now. I wish it was covered by insurance...they would've been out seven years ago.
  5. Amen to that. This is why my bike is my car. Wednesday was quite fun, actually. How often does one get to ride in weather conditions that resemble a giant snowglobe? It was pretty!
  6. Had the chance to ride the XR1200 in Texas. That thing can scoot and it's quite entertaining to flog into corners. It's a fun bike to ride and the only H-D I'd even consider owning. Unless they bring back the Harley Topper. GLWS!
  7. I'm curious what you think about the PR3s. I've heard great things about the PR2 so one could hope that they've gotten better. I'm installing a set of Bridgestone BT-023GTs on my FJR and I've heard rave reviews on them as well. We'll see what happens; I'm a guinea pig too.
  8. http://gerbing.com/Products/Products.php Problem solved.
  9. Clear roads? Of course I took the bike! It was only 25 degrees this morning.
  10. Yikes that's a pretty bike. Always like those rare collector's items. There are so many Magnas out there so it's cool to see something a lot more uncommon.
