  1. track in Wilimington, just east of I-71 on SR73. I had a Traxxas Revo nitro, and it was amazing. Bulletproof. Loved that one, so tried the JATO, and couldn't control it (too much power, tires couldn't keep up with the engine). I float in and out of RC every few years. I agree, Nitro is the way to go.
  2. The SV1k. Got rid of the GSXR clip-ons, converted to MX bars. Much nicer to ride now, and the extra bar leverage is well worth the effort. Still miss the six fiddy... watching for one for this winters project.
  3. Whenever some sells you a car, knock 3-4mpg off of whatever they tell you it will get. They're telling you the best they ever got, that one time three years ago when they went all the way across Indiana at 60 mph on the highway. I agree with the Seafoam. Menards has it for $6.50. Full can in fuel tank (truck has 31 gallon tank. I added Sea Foam to about 15 gallons/ half tank). I had never used it until about three weeks ago. 03 Avalanche was idling roughly and the check engine light was on. Within ten minutes, idle was fine and CEL was off (still is). Don't know what it did, and I don't keep track of the MPG (wife's truck, and she has a lead foot. Keeping track of the MPG on that just makes me angry...), but I'll pour a can of Sea Foam in every few months.
  4. http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_c3#/video/us/2012/10/25/moto-fish-hook-crash.jukinvideo-com. Okay, not really. Funny, tho.
  5. Hot dog wrapper from the world series. One of the Giants threw it out the window of the aero-plane on the way from SF to Deeetroit.
  6. Brian, I'm glad you finally opened up a door for us to discuss this. For years I've been wanting to talk to you about that crappy pass you put on me at Grattan in '95. Turn four clockwise. Still pissed about it. Not.
  7. Gotta start saving my money for next summers Ducati Fly'n Ride track days! Congratulations, Brian. Happy for you.
  8. And of course the name-calling has to be a part of any liberal "argument". I can't recall a single advert from a healthcare provider which addresses this in any way, shape, or form. (Prepare for someone to post something obscure from youtube...). I do know what I've read from citizens in Europe and Canada about their abysmal healthcare, limits, and waiting lists. Firsthand accounts vs. media releases. Why do US hospitals in our northern border states have sooo many patients from Canada? IIRC, there's a Cleveland hospital which has a whole wing just for Canadians. I pay almost $600/ month for a high-deductible policy for my family. Thank God that my family is healthy. Do I like it? Nope. Is it necessary? Absolutely. Would I rather have Obamacare in any way, shape, or form? Helllll Nooooooo.
  9. Insurance has limits, so why are the insurance companies expected to exceed the limits which they contracted the payment for? If a cap is $1m, then its $1m. Period. WHY should they pay more, and how much of your money are you contributing to these people whom you encounter in the hardship positions?
  10. Which industries should be allowed to make a profit? Utility companies? Car makers? Realtors? Should ice cream be free, too? Where does "free" stop? "Free" healthcare? Free food? Free housing? Free cellphones? And if not free, then "at cost", so there is no profit? There are a multitude of programs and services to help the terminally ill. Medicaid for the poor, medicare for the infirmed, etc. You need to give up your toys and send your extra money each month to someone who needs it more than you do. THAT would be "fairrrrrrrr", right? How much do you send your friend each month to help him pay off his $4m medical bill?
  11. Why do you say that? Thats not the platform stance at all. No person in America goes without healthcare, and the "poor" get all of theirs for free.
  12. I agree with "sitting on the bike". R6 should be pretty stiff rear end (vs. say, a dual sport which will be sprung more softly), but the rear squat will move the headlights. Like having people in the backseat of a car.
  13. This is for an ATV. I've checked with NICB.com but they only go back five years and the last "owner of record" is 2001/ 2002. No xfers since then. I spoke to a friend at the BMV/ title office, and was told that a "stolen" flag won't come up in their system until they try to change the owners name. At this point, I think my best bet is to call the OSP directly BUT I'm concerned that if it comes back stolen, they'll ask me where it is, and it'll open up a hornets nest. Any advice/ info?
  14. Snip>> I've seen the ripoff (or maybe AMA "borrowed" it. Dunno) on a lot of stuff,<< Not sure where it originated, but I think the first one I noticed was Superbike.
  15. I was waiting on a carryout pizza a little while ago. A team of painters had eaten and were on their way out the door. I laughed at the back of one of their shirts. I've seen the ripoff (or maybe AMA "borrowed" it. Dunno) on a lot of stuff, but this one just struck me as LOL. This isn't him, but its the shirt.
  16. Nope. Still waiting on the side of the road for my wife to show up with the truck. Where..... is..... SHE?!?!?!? I got about a mile from the house and it quit again. No popping and fireworks that time, just coasted. Pulled of into a platte, waited a couple of minutes, fired right up, went on home. Pretty sure its electrical. Gonna tear the bodywork off, check wiring etc. Sounds like all had a good time. Thx for asking. Nice meeting you and Rollin'
  17. Please stop posting stuff. I'm not sure I can resist the temptation much longer. Vstrom, CRF, and a couple of others could cause serious friction in my marriage, my bank account, and in my garage space. Please stop posting good stuff for reasonable prices. I ain't that strong...
  18. I nominate you for the "new" OR sticker go-to guy. You up to it?
  19. Sounds fine. The expansion bumps on 42 drive me nuts, but whatever you decide it fine. I'll be at Wendy's at 12:30. Thats exit 36.
  20. I'm interested in meeting up for the ride north, but don't want to ride the highway (Not a real slab fan). What route are you thinking about? I can wind us all over creation to get us there in an hour and a half without touching the highway. Not really much twisty country between Wendy's and Little York, unless we go west then up, but even the "country" roads over there are straight lines laid out in a grid for the most part (German Township/ Jefferson Tnshp/ Trotwood, etc). I would head eastish up to Springboro, east on 73, north on Township Line through Lytle, wind around into Bellbrook. Up into Beavercreek to Riverside up to Huber then over to LYT. Dunno, just off the top of my head. Pretty indirect.
  21. Why? If thats where they choose to drive, then so be it. (Note: Joking here. Drives me nuts. The 42/ 48 bypass in Lebanon makes me crazy. People seem to feel that they need to hang in the left lane northbound from the second they come off of I-71 so they can make a left handed turn six miles up the road. GETTTTTTT OVERRRRRRRRR!)
