  1. I see what you did there. And chicks dig brains.
  2. Crazy, I have those exact same boots AND that same cooler....now how do I get the blonde?
  3. Bandit 1200. Not the fastest bike I've owned, not the prettiest either but it does everything well, the suspension is easily and inexpensively upgraded, its reasonably comfortable, and has plenty of power. The motor is based on the first gen gsxr1100, originally designed in the 80's. Air/oil cooled, reliable as a brick and extemely durable. They come with ~100 hp /65 ft lb torque but with a pipe, jets, k&n filter and 5° ignition advancer put about 120/75 to the back wheel. I rarely tach mine above 6k rpm, the good power starts around 4k and just keeps pulling, but its smooth delivery. They share a lot of parts with a ton of other Suzuki bikes so spares are readily available on eBay and they're reasonably easy to work on.
  4. I'd like to see what happened from start to finish. Is it possible the driver caused an accident with one of the bikes and tried to flee before this video begins? And the bikers were trying to box him in and keep him there till the cops arrived? Just playing devils advocate here.
  5. My grandpa fought on saipan. Looks beautiful, +1 on the metal detector, gotta be all kinds of goodies in the dirt...probably also some live ordinance so be careful.
  6. Not an English teacher, just have a solid grasp on the language. Not even gonna start with what all is wrong with the above paragraph.
  7. Lmao @ 'mettle'..... M e t a l
  8. Riders discount. They will almost always beat the lowest price you can find. Order on thurs and it usually comes Monday.
  9. Ok poser, you bang your pots and pans, and he can bring his shotgun. Why oh why do you give a fat fuck if this guy wants to bring a shotgun camping? Is it so fucking dangerous that you just have to say something, or are you just an anti-gun troll clutching at your pearls because someone doesn't share your optimistic viewpoint concerning a highly motivated hungry or angry bear and his abhorrence to percussive cookware?
  10. Good to see justice served. Don't settle for a grand. If they're offering $1k, they'll pay more to keep an attorney out of it. Don't forget to file a claim on all your damaged gear too.
  11. Campground =/= wilderness camping in a national park, where there is literally nothing for miles, you dig your own shutter and ranger rick ain't coming to help you. I saw plenty of black bear on a wilderness canoe trip up in Canada, thankfully from the canoe but the guides all had 12 ga shotguns slung at all times.
  12. Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=360749151176 Its in Akron, contact the seller and arrange to pick it up. Tried to find one at Pinwall down here because its 5 min from my house and was going to drop it off to you since I work in Akron, but they didn't have one. Yeah, I go out of my way for strangers, I'm good like that. Hope you can get the part tomorrow and make the group ride with pauly Saturday.
  13. Saw that, requires sissy bar tho. Does look like a decent bag but not waterproof and no rain fly.
  14. Eh, a solenoid is a solenoid, but looks like this one includes main ignition fuse and needs a pluggy thingy. I would check rubber city vintage cycle in Akron or Pinwalls cycle in massillon, both are highigh-volume bike wreckers. One should have it. Last ditch would be manuel motorcycle on tallmadge ave. If worse comes to worse and you can get to it relatively easily, jump the poles with a screw driver to start the bike.
  15. Op stated shotgun is for animal attacks. When you're camping in west-by-god, bears, coyotes, bobcats etc are a real and present danger.
  16. I try to make my write-ups as easy and entertaining as possible.
  17. Blast < moped. Mopeds have cheaper insurance and better mileage for roughly the same performance. Hope the cops and witnesses help you nail l the sucker and his insurance company. Use the dough to buy a real bike, there's a nice zx9r in the bike shop right now.
  18. Beautiful bike at a great price, I'd scoop it if I wasn't happy with what I got. Glws.
  19. Motion pro sells a plastic one for around $40. You can make one out of metal for less. Its a dilemma as old as tuning: my gas tank is in the way. To adjust pilot screws or balance carbs/throttle bodies the engine must be running, and that requires distilled dinosaur juice. But that big gas tank prevents you from reaching things that need adjustments. Here's what I did: Myself and any drinker worth his salt has an aluminum jagermeister flask hanging around. If you don't, youre shit outta luck because they haven't offered them for a few years now, but you can use any old aluminum water bottle, or pretty much any metal container. The flasks are nice because the have a screw off cap with a caribeaner. I had been wanting to use my flask for this for some time but was worried that the wall thickness was too small to support pipe threads, so I tried to find a bulkhead fitting but couldn't. So I said 'fuck it'. Put your flask (or water bottle etc...) In a vice and drill a pilot hole about 1/8". Step that out to at least 3/8 and then finish with a 15/32. Get a 1/4 ntp tap (home depot ain't got none, found mine at ace) while you're there, get a 1/4" ntp petcock or quarter-swing valve and a hose barb that fits the valve and your gas line. De-burr the hole and run in your pipe tap to a few turns shy of mid-way, back out, tape the shit out of whatever is going in it and run it in snug. Fill with water and wait for leaks, if it drips, give the tap a few more spins. If it doesn't, you're golden pony boy. Last step, take the lid and drill an 1/8" breather hole in it from the inside out, this lets air in so gas can get to your motor. I built mine with two taps because I work on a lot of shit and not every bike has a single gas inlet. Hope someone found this helpful.
  20. Exploded batteries do smell like sulphur, and that could easily be mistaken for gunpowder.
  21. Booking my flight next week....I wonder if the law kicks inas soon as you enter the airspace....mile high club, here I come!
  22. Its been policy for some time that if you're on the way to or from school, you still fall under their jurisdiction. Got busted in ninth grade smoking while walking home and a teacher drove by and saw me. Still, the punishment in this case is way off base.
