    The other night I held the door for three teens walking in to the store. One walked by, one glanced over at me, and the third.... he shoulder checked me for no reason. There was plenty of room to not brush into me. Needless to say, a small altercation took place. So much for being nice

    how true is that statement...

    I love the commercial with the chick talking about her parents having 19 friends on facebook but she has 423... I think yeah but they all talk about you behind your back. :D

    If this site had a like button, I'd hit it for this post

    pretty sure the website said they have em in 3 colors, 1 being purple

    or am I just being a drunk moron and missing the joke?

    For cars, It was green, yellow, and red IIRC. I didn't look into the bike tires other than looking at the first pic

    Pulled this info from the jetski that uses the motor, the new ZX-15 will use.

    EATON TWIN VORTICES SERIES (TVS) ROOTS-TYPE SUPERCHARGER

    • Four-lobe design offers significant performance increase over standard roots-type unit

    • System force-feeds the engine two liters of air with every revolution, providing a stable supply of high-pressure intake air at all rpm

    • Planetary gearing increases supercharger speed by a factor of 2 for better response

    • Delivers compressed air continuously, not in waves, for smoother power delivery

    • Produces large amounts of boost even at low rpm for instant and powerful acceleration right off of idle

    • Provides a very flat and meaty torque curve with step-free power across the entire rev range without any of the lag associated with turbochargers

    • Produces more low-rpm boost than competitive or aftermarket systems, with a maximum of 17 psi of boost pressure

    • Two different air bypass valves are used to prevent over boosting at low and medium rpm

    I had a TVS blower on my car designed specifically for my Cobalt SS by HARROP using the Eaton rotors. It's not a new product to me, what I was trying to see was how the pulley/belt system was integrated. It looks like it is added onto the crank which is the only solution I could think of. The pic cleared it up for me.

    You can read a little bit in Sniper's pic - in patent applications "The supercharger is located behind the cylinder block and underneath the throttle bodies, and gear-driven directly off the crankshaft."

    That was my take on the pic before I saw your post. Makes me all giddy inside seeing that. I may end up with a blown car AND bike lol

    Supercharged? My car has a blower on it so I'm well versed in them, and all blowers need a belt. I'm new to bikes but have never seen a bike with a belt system on it for anything. Turbo'd bikes make sense to me, but can someone explain where the blower gets the pulley driven from?

  17. About to kill my roommate

    I am about to kill mine....

    1) LAZY AS FUCK.

    2) Finishes half a bottle of gatorade/can of pop/milk jug/box of cereal, then buys a new one and "forgets" the first one in the cabinent/fridge. Cleaned out 20 half full gatorades the other day...

    3) Can NOT figure out how to lift the toilet seat and/or aim correctly to NOT piss all over the seat. Never cleans it up.

    4) Dumb. Flat out D U M B, i.e. no common sense. Broke key in the door and waited outside for an hour. I had to tell him to call maintenance, then do it for him.... While at work.

    5) He has a natural v-neck sweater, AKA one hairy MF'er. He sheds, all over the place. Clogs the drains and tries to blame my gf who was gone all last weekend and it STILL clogged back up after his shower

    6) Chews like a cow. Audibly.

    7) Talk about his ex-wife daily. They've been divorced 2 years

    8) Does EVERYTHING I do. Goes out and buys the same shoes/deodorant/toothbrush. We have the same car, before rooming together. He now is looking for an 03-06 R6, nothing else... WTF

    9) 3 car accidents in less than a month (2 this week) and rants about other's driving habits. Dude is a danger on the streets.

    10) His cell goes off for a txt on a nearly 60 sec interval. SHOUTS "Mail Mother Fucker" every time.

    11) Only leaves the house if I am going somewhere and he tags along.

    Pros: Well, he does take my dog out to poop on occasion.

    Thinking of kicking him out to buy my gf a husky. It's bound to be less annoying and hairy, probably will be easier to live with.
