  1. T-Mobile spokeswoman Carly Foulkes, leather and a Ducati, I likey very much! Good going T-Mobile! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OIWfmjnJPs&sns=em
  2. Now that I've looked into it I'm liking these pants that convert to shorts. http://amzn.com/B003EJK87E Anyone have an opinion on Tri-tex 600 material as far as slide resistance?
  3. That's what concerns me, protection without being soaked with sweat on warm days when off the bike. My only solution so far is chaps over knee length shorts.
  4. Dang I'm shopping for tires right now too.
  5. Ha that's honest and funny at the same time.
  6. Hopefully someone can scope it out and report what they've got. I can always use more Star accessories and apparel.
  7. I'm sticking to sasquatch as the likely suspect but a second possibility is drunken amish using a locating call to find his buddies. Did you hear any wood knocking?

    Duck Dynasty

    I didn't find them quite as interesting as the Guist brothers on Swamp People but they are worth watching again.
  9. Oh snap I hunted near Carrolton a few years back. Definitely squatchy. The BFRO needs to hear from you.
  10. Thanks for the info on the coupon I almost bought that chock for full price. I'll have to start checking magazines for it.
  11. I've been in the information technology business for many years and dealt with just about every brand name of laptop computer. As a former toshiba factory warranty technician I can tell you stay far far away from them unless you purchase the extended warranty especially with the big box store models. After you have taken apart a few hundred of them you begin to see what I mean. The quality just isn't there. I've had marginal luck with some models of lenovos but I say the better ones to get are dells your purchase from dell and not the big box stores.
  12. In my opinion the key is to ensure the weight of the load on the trailer falls in front of the axle(s) just enough so you have tongue weight that prevents the trailer from tipping back and staying there but not so much that you drop the tow vehicle's rear end down more than an inch or so. As far as bearings, the only way I know how to pack is with grease in one palm and a bearing in the other hand. Don't rely on a bearing buddy to get grease to those inner ones. They are the hardest to get to when they fail.
  13. Anti monkey butt powder. Hardware stores carry it as well as rite-aid. Its made to minimize chafing. http://www.antimonkeybutt.com/
  14. $8 adult admission that goes to the foundation and there was hardly anyone there today. It's not a huge museum but the bikes themselves were worth the cost as well as all the Packards and local history. I'd go again just to look at the old oil cans and gas pumps. I didn't take nearly enough photos of the cars.
  15. Nice day today at the National Packard Museum in Warren, Ohio. The Packard automobiles are awesome enough, but the motorcycle exhibit going on there makes it even better. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/q5dCvL3z4t2-kUCiza6OUNMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
  16. I'm not a hater, get an H-D to ride to bike night and anything else to ride on 50+ mile trips.
  17. The Java runtime environment? No, it's not supported in android but I don't think you'll miss it (unless you're studying java programming). Whatever functionality java websites gave you previously, most likely you'll find an app to replace it.
  18. Not necessarily. Some tablets that are android based are locked into either Amazon or Barnes & Nobles or other manufacturer app stores. It depends on their customization of the android O/S and you would have to root the device to get around that. I do believe though that the model you're looking at is full android market. If you have or create a google account, you'll also have access to google documents which is compatible with MS office files and honeycomb has support for adobe reader, flash etc. so you should be fine there.
  19. I just purchased an Acer Iconia off ebay yesterday after researching and watching/reading reviews of android tablets (which included Sonys). Knowing the reputation of Sony electronics, especially the Vaio line of computers I don't think you can go wrong by buying one. I've used an android phone for over a year now, and have to say it's the best phone I've ever owned. I'm not an Apple fanboy or even an Apple supporter because I don't care for the high cost of the brand name or the locked down nature of their operating systems and applications. Having said that, the high cost does also buy you a quality product and quality service with Apple if you ever need it. Google Android gives names to each operating system version they roll out. The current one is "Honeycomb" the next will be "Ice Cream Sandwich" and typically you'll want your device to be capable of upgrading to the latest and greatest for awhile. The specs should tell you that, or you can always check reviews of the device you're looking at on numerous forums and youtube videos. As far as apps and games, make sure your choice supports the full android market and doesn't restrict you to Amazon or elsewhere. You can check the Android Market at market.android.com and see if the games / apps you are interested in are there.
  20. I saw a photo of a wing doing a nice wheelie and assumed it was photoshopped. I was quickly informed they have plenty of power to pull the front wheel with no problem and just about anything else as well.
