  1. What you are looking for is a selector, not a splitter. Something like this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0049S6ZUS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1359905756&sr=1-1π=SL75
  2. Wow, I am voting for him for president.... oh wait its only a tv show
  3. Everyone has hit on some good points, so here is my 2 cents. I have used a blue ray, an Xbox, a PS3 and a Roku for various streaming and HD content. The best device for streaming via internet or via local media on a PC is by far the Roku. Best device out right now hand down if you don't need to play physical media. It does Plex which is an awesome media organizer/browser and is what I primarily use since most of my content is on my computer. Not to mention it is extremely quick when comparing to the other devices. The best for physical media is probably going to be a blue ray player. It is quiet, easy to use, cheap, and can do a lot of the stuff a Roku can, just not quite as much and sometimes not as well. Many do Plex now BUT in my experience, it is not as robust as the Roku and does not stream media from a PC as well. Sony makes a nice blue ray and it has the same interface as the PS3. Samsung and LG blue rays tend to be junk though, I should know, I used to see what was returned and what wasnt at best buy and 3 out of 5 people would return the samsung and buy the sony. I even did it when I bought one for my parents. The best bang for your buck, or do-it-all device is the PS3. It has a large selection of streaming services(which all work very well), as well as can play blue rays AND games. They even have the super slim model now which cuts down on noise and power consumption by A LOT. Down side is you can not use universal remotes with the PS3 without special adapters.

    Squid time!

    On my first bike, an '07 ninja 250, I dropped it in the middle of the street trying to turn around. Went up a slight hill and stopped at some train tracks to wait for a train. Well the train decided to stop so I had to turn around. I did like a 5 point turn to maneuver the bike to the point where it was perpendicular to the road, lost my footing and wham! Dropped the bike down the slight hill in the middle of the street. This was about a month after I started riding.
  5. Or wire it to your high beam "passing" switch since no one ever uses that anyway.
  6. Most expensive door opener ever! I bet you are still paying for it haha
  7. Quick disconnects are already on the shopping list. Any clever way to waterproof one of those while still keeping the ability do open it? Was gonna just toss it in a small ziplock.
  8. Thanks guys, never thought I would use my freshman electronics class as much as I do. Electronics are fun I need to find something new to do with LED's haha
  9. A motorcycle garage door opener! Used a momentary push button from one of those "try me" LED lights at autozone, some speaker wire, a spare garage door opener I got for the gate at work and 5 minutes of time waiting for the soldering iron to heat up, the result is a discrete button which can be mounted in the cockpit while the module is under the seat or in the tail. Will be picking up a quick disconnect tomorrow but that will be the only expense and is more of a luxury haha.
  10. Completely forgot about that one, also wasnt sure if I should file where I live now or from my parents house since I technically still live there according to my license. Turns out I get a better return filling from my parents house, township taxes < city taxes
  11. I take mine to a local tax preparer who does it from her house. Charges $30 and always gets my refund back as soon as possible. Mine always tend to be difficult because I have not worked a single job more than a year since I started working. This past year I worked 3 different jobs in 3 different cities and I really didn't want to figure all that out. Also this is my first year filing as independent as well as making more than $25K so I have no clue what tax bracket I am in compared to last year or even what tax bracket I will be in next year making over $50k so to me its worth the money to just take them somewhere rather than research all the deductions and things and possibly screw myself out of money.
  12. Oh no doubt, its a really clean bike. But I think I will be holding onto this one for a while!
  13. I did this too, not really a drinker, and if I do its never to get wasted, not worth the next day of feeling like shit IMO. I will however be bringing some plants to smoke this year
  14. Thanks, it does have 1 mirror, which I believe makes it legal in Ohio But I will probably get another one just because I prefer 2. The handlebar mirror is surprisingly useful, way more so than normal mirrors where all I see is my shoulders.
  15. Yes he did get a triple and I thought this bike looked familiar! He even said the previous owner had like a dozen 675s and this was his daily rider, so thanks for putting that gel seat on there for me If I had the cash back then I would have bought it. How much did he buy it for?
  16. I can already tell I will. The noise it makes is so sexy!
  17. Thanks guys, it's definitely gonna be a fun summer! Hahaha yes this one is potty trained
  18. Pm'ed about some 675 stuff

  19. It does kinda look at home in the snow haha
  20. Went to look at my future bike today and this is it. The guy selling it is actually a member of sv forums and will be at deals gap with us this year. Also he is Likwids friend. Stand up guy and as soon as my taxes(and my buddies since he is buying my bike) come in I will be purchasing it. He agreed to hold it for me until then which is awesome. Hopefully it's not gonna take 3 weeks like I heard it would this year :/
  21. B&T is my local favorite. Can't go in there too serious though because the staff likes to pick on you, just ask Tim The Asian hahaha.
  22. Verizon doesn't have it right either, works at home on wifi but not at work on the shitter
  23. I never heard of sucker punch until recently, not sure if it flew under the radar or not but its got a bunch of hot chicks shooting guns in short skirts so I would recommend it. Interesting story line once you figure out what is happening.
