  1. seems quite like a conpiracy theory site, that infowars. i'm sure there are some people in the govt. that realize just how far we are past the earth's sustainable resources. then there are others who realize that china is going to overpower us someday, as well. i'm happy for the drug. it'll save plenty of innocent lives.
  2. hmm... never thought of that.
  3. ooh ooh ooh! oh, mine works fine. but i can haz free? i may have to make a trip up there.
  4. Called the number. The nice indian guy said he'd notify the correct people, and email me.
  5. I may volunteer my seat, but when it's not in continual use. Ala, winter!
  6. :-/ i prefer the quality of my gopro. but is that like a "all-the time-looping" recording thing, where it just continually overwrites? i've read a bunch of guys wanting something like that but it never actually happens.
  7. my girl's HJC blows. i'm glad it's rarely used, cuz you can't even take out the main portion of the liner. once that shit's sweaty, it's gonna stay sweaty.
  8. i'm curious how one remembers a route like this, while on the go? i would get so lost so quick.
  9. i'm in dayton too. there's a crowd that gets together every now and then.

    Asp baton ftw.
  11. Convincing my dad's wife to let him go.
  12. if we're all complaining... I think bell should be higher than scorpion. Fo sho yo.
  13. I'll show it to my dad. Springer soft tail isn't a tourer, but it could help? He likes dumping money into it.
  14. what software did you use? cool song btw.
  15. looks like you could cut that with scissors... i got some 3/32" steel rope, ferrules and made my own little passenger seat hook. sure it could be cut as well, but it would take a couple minutes. and my alarm would be pissing them off the whole time.
  16. So, I've been wanting an alarm for a while now. I'm frequently to lazy to bring my bike into the apartment, so some nights it sits out on the patio, or even in the parking lot! This is Dayton, people. Some douchebag kids would steal a flower pot if they thought they could grow heroin in it.. I also commute, so I leave my bike unattended in lots of places I'd rather not have to. So, I ordered a Xena XX-10 from motorcycle-superstore for $90 plus tax, with free shipping. Find a better deal? TELL ME! Their new Buy-safe crap will pay me the difference. Anywho, it's a great little device. I chose the XX-10 because it had the same design as their top-of-the-line XX-14, just a (wait for it) 10 mm locking pin, instead of a (again...) 14 mm locking pin. I don't even know how one could begin to cut the pin though, as it is completely concealed in a big yellow steel blob. Pretty heavy too. Go caveman on somebody with it, and they're not getting up. A quick description: So, the locking mechanism: It is kinda tricky. Not really, but it has a "double locking mechanism" All that means to me, is you have to line up the slots before your key can go all the way in. Which, when under the pressure of having your ear drums blasted, can be... Tricky. I generally make sure that when I lock it on the bike, I rotate completely counter clockwise before pulling the key out, without rotating. That way, when I'm unlocking, I gently as possible, but quickly shove the key in, rotate clockwise until the spring-loaded pin pops up, and yank that thing off my disc. Soon as it detects motion it starts to beep, so I try to minimize those beeps. Which brings me to: the alarm. It's not as loud as a car, but it's not hooked up to 12 volts. It doe shave quite the blast, though. In one of those high pitched, make you want to rip your ears off, kind of ways. When the very sensitive tilt sensor detects motion, it begins to beep five times. I think they are faster than once per second, but idk. Then, it goes into "gtfo" mode and wails that high pitched siren... Makes me cringe thinking about it. The siren lasts for about five seconds. if you don't touch it any more. I haven't tried to keep it going, so idk if it would stay on longer. It is auto-arming, so you don't have to push a button. It works like this: There is a laser, or other wave emitting thing on one side of the lock, that bounces off the other side. When your brake disc obstructs that it gives you five seconds to either change your mind or get it locked and get out. Eh, kinda. It beeps, then gives you ten more seconds before it turns on the motion sensor. Pretty legit. My thoughts: It works. Literally on the night I got it, and installed it, some douchebags from my building apparently brushed against it as they walked by. I can't say if the bike woke me up though, because the dog was already howling like the retard he is. But, the alarm went off, and I heard their apartment door close by the time it shut up. The paint scratches off pretty easily. Mine looks a year older already just from scooting around under my passenger seat. I'll update on the rustability of their nickel-ey steel. Overall, it's a good investment. Eases my mind when I'm out. Win. btw, have fun getting the battery in and the reflector plate on before it wails in your face.
  17. i have a drop down on my old scorpion. useless. that is all.
  18. punk has quite the stance. i'm not one for politics, and i can see where you're coming from. our best interest is to keep money flowing, especially inward. but if that involves spending our money and our soldiers lives on something, then it must be weighed very carefully. know that i have no clue about history. but, i do think practically. i thought paul was green party all along? oh well, that's how politically ignorant i am. imho, no one man is going to fix anything. whoever we elect, it's going to change very little about this country. the rich will stay rich, the politicians will continue to benefit from making laws helping their investments, the poor will continue to cry about our artificially deflated gas prices. and we'll continue in our oh-so-authentic debt herding ways. $0.02
  19. Sportbiketrackgear had my pilot powers for cheap. I forget though. 250 ish shipped sounds right.
