  1. Pick yourself up a $35 chromecast and pop on over to: http://www.fanschoice.tv/ Bonus...there's no commercials!
  2. Hot damn! That's gotta feel liberating! Well, I certainly wish you the best wherever you land.
  3. Alright, I'm not alone. I just watched the tiny house documentary too. Outside of the whole 150sq. ft. thing, it's pretty damn intriguing - and really thought provoking. Something's gotta change...I'm just not sure what yet. But something. A different, more entertaining take on the whole tiny house thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXKqdi0Wp0E
  4. I work like a dog, miss (more than i care to) my kids childhood...and for what? so I can live in a house and have nice things? Anyone ever wanna say f it and move out of dodge, get a tiny house you can pay cash for and actually enjoy every minute of this thing called life? It's probably the (way too many for a weeknight) beer talking...but legitimately curious if anyone else has thought along those same lines...
  5. It's probably been posted before...but there's some good work that went into these ones.
  6. You probably can chromecast it to your tv through your phone or laptop. They just updated their app to allow casting of exactly what's being viewed on your phone to your tv. In app / homescreen / whatever.
  7. The OOS inspection on my Ducati was a joke. - the rep at the morse road location wasn't sure even what she was looking at...seemed like she was looking at an alien being or something. "DO-CAY-TEE"??? - She had no idea where to even find the vin, i had to point all of that out to her. - didn't check for anything functioning, "yep, it has lights" Easy-peasy.
  8. Ugh...I hate ticket prices now. $120 is face value?!? How the heck am i supposed to take my kids and expose them the buckeyes and shield them from my in-laws love of the wolverines!!!
  9. Wow. There are some really sick fucks out there. That guy in texas a year or two back that killed the other dude who'd been molesting his daughter...I don't know if he ever served a day or not...but I'd say him even having to go through the court proceedings was cruel and unusual punishment for the father. Having two young daughters, I can't speak to what I'd do if I ever found out some shit like that about my girls. Best of luck controlling your rage when you see this dude, I don't think i could do it.
  10. Very cool. Sounds like a great event.
  11. Winner, winner! One of two coils was bad, because it was intermittent...after a ride, all 4 pipes would be hot...but on startup it was quickly apparent that 1 and 4 were cold. Replaced the coil, back on the road! Thanks all!
  12. No, not what i'm saying at all. I didn't see a knife, nor was it "over his head" as was discussed by the officer in charge. If there's truthfully a knife (that he was brandishing aggresively), that changes my opinion of the situation, dude should have been put down for sure then...but it certainly doesn't seem like they were too inclined to disclose the actual details of the situation...
  13. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/08/20/kajieme-powell-shooting_n_5696546.html 3 miles from the ferguson shooting, sounds like this happened on tuesday. Warning, video of the actual shooting is at the link. So, this Kajieme Powell...did this guy warrant a shooting? (NOT SAYING THIS GUY WASN'T A MORON, WHO WAS ASKING TO BE SHOT) But, I have a hard time dealing with the variance between the "description" of the shooting by the officers initially and what appears to be the actual reality. Why wouldn't both officers firing tazers be effective here? Or the youtube video link here:
  14. Man, that thing is sweet! Congrats.
  15. Damn, thanks all. Some great stuff I hadn't thought of. MUCH appreciated!
  16. Admittedly, I haven't cleaned the carbs - I've just run some carb cleaner through it with the gas. I was hoping to avoid diving into that mess...and if it can run as "normal" without this system...has plenty of power for a bike of this age.
  17. So, anyone wanna try to troubleshoot what I think might be a carb problem? It was running really great for a while, and still does intermittently...then all of a sudden feels like someone's choking it. It'll all of sudden have a hard time keeping idle, and need a ton more throttle to keep the same revs it had just a minute prior. At this point, there's almost zero throttle response...and feels like it's making 1/4 of the power it actually has. (not getting enough fuel through?) I can keep it running...but it's definitely not easy. It has then, intermittently, jumped back out of this state, and all returns to normal all of a sudden. The only thing I know that has induced this condition was a couple days ago I twisted the throttle to the lock, and it hasn't "snapped out of it" since. I really have no idea what I'm doing with carburetors...any thoughts could prove very helpful. Thanks for any help you might have.
  18. No no...it's just bacon GREASE...you can consume all the byproduct while powering your bike! It's ECO-FRIENDLY!!!
  19. Literally had to pause the video to see the bike. Looks like a good wrap job...but that video isn't the way to showcase it.
  20. Freaking Jeremy Burgess walked right past me in street clothes right after the race, seriously looked like he had just picked up some stuff from the gift shop (a little less preoccupied this year i guess)...I tried to chase him down for the photo/autograph...but he was by me before i could without looking like a total a-hole. Oh well, was a great time, my first GP in person - those bikes sound like they're tearing a hole in the sky - and it's fucking awesome.
  21. Thanks for posting that. My boss is looking at one tomorrow I believe. I hope this sways his mind away. I'm not against this technology...but feels a little too much in its infancy at this point.
  22. I've not done a track day outside of mid-o, and I've heard good things about STT. And, just curious about who the winners are! Regardless of who wins, thanks to STT for the OR support.
