  1. Gotcha, that's good to know. So they were likely headed out to the tipped over trailer to help out or something. Thanks for replying.
  2. Wow I had no idea. I've seen the drug bust shows on TV where the SWAT teams will use a tinted out minivan as a raid vehicle, or as an UC vehicle for drug buying. Never thought to think that far. Edit: Can these cars pull traffic over for violations? I always thought it had to be a marked cruiser in order to stop traffic. Otherwise anyone with $50 of LEDs and a Whelen box could impersonate.
  3. Driving on 270 on my way to work this morning, and a silver Chevy and beige Hyundai roar past me with lights and a fake-sounding siren blaring. People were getting out of their way, even pulling over on the shoulder for them. They pulled off to get onto 315-S. There was a trailer flipped over, maybe responding to that I guess. I cant help wondering given the civilian style plates, and lack of any official markings if these were just two guys who want to go places fast and mess with people. Are there any civilian style cars that get authorized to use police lights/siren?
  4. I keep seeing a VFR parked behind the Buckeye Fuel station on High street. Any chance that's you? Welcome to the forums.
  5. Why open the thread? You're not really contributing anything by complaining and telling us your tv habits. I'm pumped as well for this. Even though technically the secret is out and they'll lose the dramatic irony aspect of the show, it's still written well enough to play on the drama of a secret serial killer.
  6. Meet at 9:30 tomorrow: Duke/Duchess Shoppe 10636 Jacksontown Road, Thornville, OH ?
  7. Hopefully no work on Sunday, looking forward to riding with you guys again.
  8. How do we know you're not just trying to steal the bike out from under us? Rain looks like it's done, anyone fancy a ride?
  9. Just bought a(nother) gopro Hero2 in anticipation. Front/rear views will be covered. Amazon seller has one going for 250+8 shipping for the motorsports edition.
  10. Then from there to Newark we're taking 161? http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Quaker+Steak+%26+Lube,+8500+Lyra+Drive,+Columbus,+OH+43240&daddr=newark+ohio&hl=en&sll=40.14042,-82.975179&sspn=0.012188,0.033023&geocode=FYR-ZAIdNeYN-ymJTQMXYfQ4iDFkhrlL9Hel8A%3BFQg9YwIdEKgW-yl9EYCw2Rc4iDEcmbThNWxhEQ&mra=ls&t=m&z=11
  11. How is this going to work? Put your name in a hat and they call at the end of the night? Do you have to pre-register?
  12. Thanks to everyone who showed up, it was a good ride, albeit a little chilly. Wearing the fall gloves next week and some long-johns.
  13. Here you are: http://imgur.com/a/r2ZqC#2 How'd that butt-cam turn out?
  14. Sorry to hear about your brother. It's really touching how far you'd go to help him recover from his accident. Put me down for a ticket.
  15. http://imgur.com/a/8r0qp/layout/horizontal#0 http://imgur.com/a/5zxa3#4 http://imgur.com/a/WnKlG#0 http://imgur.com/a/F6001#5 Sorry I didn't get too many of the 1000rr, you ride too damn fast! By the time I got out to the far end of the track (thunder valley?) the intermediate session was wrapping up. Thanks for chatting with me though you guys, I definitely have a track day in my future. http://imgur.com/a/gYwse#0 It was a bit overcast, so the pictures aren't as crisp as they should be, also my first time at Mid-Ohio and a bit rusty with tracking shots. I had a great time watching the riders and chatting to a few, and the engine noises more than make up for the crappy shots. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vu0vSQ3lssQ
  16. Put some into avatar sizes here: http://imgur.com/a/cveu3 Edit: Last one- http://imgur.com/0PFwp
  17. I was there with camera and video, from about 12-3. I'll pull some clips if anyone wants, let me know your bike/colors and group.
  18. I saw that group riding down high. Bright pink bike and maybe 8 others, I was going north. Waved to everyone.
  19. It definitely depends on what software you're using. In Sony Vegas you can create a layer mask similar in photoshop, that will allow you to selectively blur a portion of an image. Then you use keyframes to approximate where you want the blur to occur if the object you're blurring moves. Similar to this: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/779420/easy_vegas_video_censor_effect/
  20. Trying to figure out if this event is open to the public. I see if I ride in, I can park in the infield, but do I have to pay to get access to the paddock and grandstands? I'm planning on bringing my DSLR and hopefully getting some good shots. Having never been to Mid-Ohio, any advice on where to shoot? Anything in particular you guys want me to watch for?
  21. If you want to try out the powdercoated look, before you start a project, pick up some plasti-dip and do your wheels/frame. It peels off when dry, but is durable enough to ride around on.
  22. I went to sims with a bad engine bottom, got $7.50 for 50lbs of irony aluminum. They pulled it from my back seat for me, and the whole process took about 10 minutes. Came back the next day with some steel brake rotors and just threw them in someones cart out front.
  23. I'll be there at 7 or I'm not coming.
