  1. So I went to Lowe's yesterday to pick up some bolts. You know how you have to write on the little baggie what your buying for the checkout person. Well I was carrying my helmet in my hand and the bag rubbed up against my helmet before the marker ink dried on the bag. After trying many different solvents including Windex, non ammonia in Windex, alcohol, non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner, WD-40 and Simple Green I'm still left with this yellowish residue. Anything y'all can think of that will be safe on a matte finish that may take this off?
  2. Okay in my search to be a cheap ass I think I discovered something else. Givi is now selling consumer direct though a different entity https://tourandride.com/ That web site and https://www.giviusa.com/ mirror each other and the phone numbers ring to the same message. Also the addresses on the R&T and Givi web site are the same. Site says it was registered in 2018 so must be a newish thing.
  3. Didn't know cracking a joke required a reality check...quit fucking up my LOL's
  4. What I gather it doesn't have to be "your" machine the fact that it's on "A" machine in Ohio qualifies. And your shipping and billing address obviously gives away your location.
  5. Taxation without representation. AKA Ohio roads suck
  6. So I had some things in my cart on RM/ATV/MC web site for over a week plans on purchasing it on this payday. One of the items I was to have them price match another retailer so I use the chat option to get the price match. Done this many times before. They approve the price match and send me the invoice. I notice that there is tax on this invoice. I ask about, Why? And the guy tells me a new law or rule went into effect Monday Oct 1st that Ohio now requires them to charge tax on out of state purchases even though they have no brick and mortar sites in state. He didn't have the details just said they had to do it now. So I checked several other online retailers I deal with regularly and sure enough found most of them now charge tax. Did a little google fu and found this BULLSHIT explanation....... Massachusetts & Ohio: ‘Cookie Nexus’ One particularly clever state approach has been the one pioneered by Massachusetts and recently adopted in Ohio, which counts the internet cookies retailers place on customers’ computers as a physical presence in the state. Basically, by claiming the lines of code that live on the customer’s computer as a tiny piece of local real estate, these states have asserted a collection obligation, regardless of where the retailer is physically based. For those of us that regularly buy on line to save a dime this is going to cost use hundreds of dollars a year. Thoughts?

  8. Looks identical to the seat on my Z1000
  9. I was chosen for federal duty one time. Was hoping for a cool case that was interesting. Ended up getting thrown out buy the judge because he felt the case was a mockery of the courts.

  11. Turning the Z into a commuter. Getting a smaller box this is the one off the connie. Just testing the rack.
  12. Just keep in mind the 08 and 09 put off a lot of heat towards the rider vs the 10 and ups. Not a deal breaker for me I've just gotten used to it over the years..
  13. I don't mind it. My work has to pay me for it like a vacation day. Gives me something different to do other than my daily grind. But I don't have younglings at home like you do.
  14. I ride my wife's vstar every now and then just to remind myself why I hate them so much.
  15. EasyE would have ridden a Victory 8 Ball
  16. Because I see the target audience wanting to put 17" sporty tires on it. They should make a model with that option.
