  1. Next time I will. I didn't think you wanted to ride 3hrs to meet up then ride another 2 to get there. Wasn't sure if you'd wanba be around my work friends either. I definitely wanna do it again this year. But it'll probably have to wait until early fall after the monsoon season. How much notice do you need for work?
  2. I went on a ride yesterday up AZ 191. This was my first time I did the whole route. The good part of 191 is 90 miles long. It was harder than the tail of the dragon. Had every type of corner from sweepers, hair pins, decreasing+ increasing radius, cambered + off camber, up hill down hill and tight + open curves. It had some 2mile+ open straights. Very little traffic no cops. It had all kinds of elevation changes and environments. We started in the desert valley went into the forest out to mountain farm land then to the top of the mountain where temps were 30* cooler than the bottom. Also it was way longer than the tail of the dragon. The first 90 miles were great and that doesn't include the roads we took down into New Mexico which were a nice relaxing cool down ride (even though the temps. climbed from 84* to 111*. We stopped in Alpine AZ for lunch. Best road I've ever been on. Here's some videos of the ride. I wasn't out racing my way up there so don't expect crazy knee down videos. Not being familiar with the road I was just cruising along because there is no margin for error. If you crash there are no nearby hospitals or many places for a helicopter to land. On top of that there is no cell service so someone has to ride until they can call for emergency services. So basically if you have a serious injury you will die up there. With no guard railsafter the first couple of miles, rock faces and cliff edges the likelihood of a serious injury is high. I couldn't film the whole ride my battery in my camera went dead not even a 1/4 of the way up even though I was only recording bits and pieces. I recorded it on a wide angle lens so a lot of the corners don't appear as sharp as they really are. Sorry about the wind noise I recorded it with my contour HD which is horrible with wind noise.
  3. Used this to check mine the other day. My speedo is off by 4% reading faster than my actual speed. I just put new tires on it I wonder how much it will change when they get worn down?
  4. One of them is cracked. Its for my dads truck not sure why but he wants a set.
  5. Looking to buy a set of heads for a 2003 GMC Sonoma 4.3L v6 vortec. Does anybody have a GMC 4.3 laying around and may be willing to part with? I'm asking for my dad so if the price and condition are right local pickup around central Ohio can be arranged. Does anybody know of a good place to get a set that's not too expensive other than at a junk yard?
  6. That's not a dog like a husky. Wolves are deceptively larger than they appear and are very lean muscled. A wolf that appears to be the same size as a 80-90 lb. domestic dog will actually be heavier and have no problem tearing a person apart. I wonder if the wolf was playing or if he stimulated its predatory chase instincts. The last picture is the craziest to me one of a wild animal charging straight at the cameraman ears down.
  7. Just a heads up Ride Now has a horrible reputation down here. I wish i new that when iI bought my bike. At first it worked in my favor when the sold me my 2012 Zx10r for the price of a 2011 left over by mistake. But after my last service on the bike there I noticed they cross threaded one of the bolts tgat holds the gas tank to the frame under the seat and didn't put one of the airbox screws back in.
  8. What dealership are you going to?
  9. Try to get a left over model itll save you a few bucks.
  10. You can also try to take a traffic safety course and it won't get reported to dmv as a conviction. Which reminds me I need to get on that.
  11. The new ninjas have them in the mirrors. Not sure if they'd fit but you could probably get a set off of a race forum or ninja forum. The ones on my bike are pretty sturdy and for some reason the ninjas are attracting more squids that take the mirrors off for the cool factor. Maybe eBay.
  12. The phone has to be active to get the app though right?
  13. It's not my dog its my dads so I dont really have a say in it. The way they see it is they got lucky this time and would love to keep her but dont want to put my niece at risk. They never had a problem before and it has really been a shock to everyone. My niece could do anything with the dog and she would just wag her tail. The Jack russell in the pic is the reason she doesn't get along with other dogs. The jack Russell would attack her and they would get in fights. One time the Shepard killed the jack russell after the jack Russell attacked her.
  14. As long as the person knows what they are doing and understand that the dog doesn't get along with others he may be ok with it. He just doesn't want someone to take her something to happen and cause problems. Then have them return the dog.
  15. My dad doesnt feel comfortable giving her to a home with another dog or small children.
  16. My nephew is 9 and never had a problem with her I'm not sure about cats. The only issue she has with other dogs is she will establish dominance and fight. Small dogs still seem to push her buttons but larger dogs have always left her alone after she establishes dominance so a home that already has a top dog or small dogs would probably not be good. I have no clue about shots but she is probably due for all that need kept up to date. She is all white and a little on the small side for a shepard about 75-80 lbs. She is house broke and basic obedience trained English hand signals maybe German but I don't think we ever used German with her. Sit stay come lay down and yard (get back in the yard).
  17. My niece is 11 months old. She is fine just scratched. Didn't really break skin went to the hospital to get her eye checked out because it was close. My sister and her family live at my dads and he has a strict rule of not keeping a dog that bites. It's his dog no one wants her here regardless of emotion now. I can't take her back home to AZ with me the wife is scared now. What happened is the dog was eating and my neice ran into her in a walker. The dog turned and bit her head. Her face is scratched. I can't recall the dogs age maybe 5 and never bit anyone before. She is not fixed normally very good dog but doesn't get along with other dogs and wouldn't recommend her to a home with small children in light of this incident.
  18. If anybody knows of a good home for a pure breed white German Shepard please let me know ASAP! She bit my niece and has to go. I don't want to put her down so if you know of anyone that will take her and not be mean to her let me know. She is normally a really good dog. I have to pick her up now from my dads. Email me Mar10w6@aol dot com.
  19. Most modern sportbikes don't need to have the clutch lever pulled to the bar. A lot of people only use 2 fingers on brake and clutch lever leaving the other two between the grip and the lever.
  20. The reason it has a clutch is to get fron N to first and get first rolling. Clutchless shifts are easier on the engine and drive train. Improper shifting with the clutch can be just as damaging as improper clutchless upshifts. Using the clutch does not save you from errors and damage.
  21. He is saying he doesn't want his kids around if he has to be illegally detained by the police. Any other family is free to go how is that subjecting them to anything?
