    Screw it, go grab ALL the guns!
  2. Looks like an electric concept to me. Rigid swingarm? Hard to tell by the tiny thumbnail photo

    New toys

    Still some nice toys - now where did the M14's end up?
  4. Glad somebody bought it so quick!! Now I can go pout in private since it wasn't me:cry:
  5. Awesome.......was my first bike ( '77 XR75 ) when I was a kid
  6. Bike looks killer Joe, and the gear just sets it all off. Stormtrooper'd OUT! May the force be with you
  7. Audi needs to invest a major R&D cash dump for Ducati to get things together with Rossi and Nicky. Duc is just slow moving with chassis/susp redesign, and believe they're still on the old frame aren't they? At least thats what was said by Ralph Malph and The Kentuckian. Ben will probably go back to pilot a WSB in which he has had a lot of offers for, not sure which team he'll choose out of those asking for him. Props to the man for racing with a broken heel, and at least his 2nd highside of the weekend was softer than during qualifying. Just no match for the Repsol riders and LorenTHO:nono: Loved Stoner robbing the pole from Jorge. Hate that silky smooth little Spaniard! Was great until he got it back a lap later, but no matter since Casey had him covered the whole race. The soft rear tire choice was definitely finding the missing link for the Honda win. Stoner was pissed about losing the pole due to CRT qualifying traffic, but thats the game and its the same for the whole field.

    Olympics

    I have little intrigue in the Olympics. Although on a funnier note, I managed to catch a bit of the volleyball at BW3's this afternoon and one of the competitors name was "Destiny Hooker" I shit you not. About blew a halfeaten hotwing at my wife when I saw it! Aparently this Olympian has yet to live up to her name
  9. Seems like a simple plug-n-go setup with relay adapters included. Find the unit on the bike and check its connection to the bike, shouldn't be too complicated compared to the pics in the brochure. Worst case looks like you may need to chop a power lead and ground from where it would butt-connect in. Worth a try to see if its the culprit.

    just a lil captain

    Captaining.......way cooler than planking:D
  11. I wanna see the watermelon guy serve hot turkey right out of the oven!
  12. Sweet! Once ( more like if ) they pave Rudy Rd, that will be a fun little circuit
  13. Cool, post back up when you get the new batts and whether they cured the problem or not
  14. Thats about the same timeframe I had my system - good old 1990's:D
  15. I've shot a bike battery with 10amps but only for less than 30 min to jumpstart it to sell the bike, but a Tender is great when you know the bike will sit for a while or a season. It cycles the battery and keeps it fresh and ready. Check the voltage, under 11v just get a new battery. If there's still an issue, check with Hoblick - but like everyone else is saying, its probably the battery. They can cause some quirpy shit with a bike, carbed or not.
  16. I got mine at MidO wkend when you got to the campgrounds Ben, thanx!
  17. Alpine V12 and Fosgate Punch 100 bridged running a pair of Punch Audiophile 12's ( rubber rolled edge for tight, short throw bass - metal/rock oriented ) w/pairs of 5x7's & 6-1/2's 3-way. Was all I could muster money for in my 92 range xcab. It was crankin loud for a small truck but my ears have been beaten to death enough because of that system and several bands worth of abuse Components were good quality, but far from top shelf equip. Told I needed a farad or 2 cap to help the bass from crashing my alternator on loud night cruises, but ended up fattening the replacement alt's amperage once the OEM finally folded. I didnt know much about car audio back then but a couple of friends helped steer me to what I should use to suit the music and sound I wanted. I still dont know much about whats best for what app, but did learn "some" useful tidbits. Hope your box and audio setup works out man, about all I can help with is to fulfill your wiring needs thru my work. I can build cables from 18ga up to 2/0 if you need discounted power/grounds.

  20. You know more about car audio than I do Oldschool, but I've always been told ported enclosures produce more bass at lower volumes vs acoustic enclosures. I had a 2x12 acoustic box and found I could EQ for most any music type, whereas a friend of mine had a ported setup - he had trouble controlling bass output to gain more full range at higher volumes so its really up to you and your listening tastes. Donkason sounds like he knows what he is talkin about and good link too, so thanx for that info. For a 10" acoustic, you wont need much more than the taller center section of the box you've pictured. I'm pretty sure ported enclosures need more space than acoustic boxes do so you could get away without the side wings unless you seperate them from the main box for storage area. I am subscribed in case you need any brainless help:D
  21. You and your damn carrot danglin'! I'm stewing on this but really would rather have 6-1/2 or 7ft interior
  22. Not entirely true, she will probably be surprised at how many show up with little to no experience. I highly doubt she will be alone in learning all about riding. The first night is all classwork anyway, so they'll teach/demonstrate the absolute basics first and day 2 & 3 are on the bikes.
  23. Nice repair, looks great and surely he'll be happy.
