  1. http://aruljohn.com/info/howtofindipaddress/ But good luck finding who it belongs to.
  2. That's ridiculous. But honestly, I think this is the way ALL vehicles are going to be down the road; what with all of the electric cars/bikes. When you get your first electric bike (which in the next 30 years, I assure you it'll probably be your only choice at some point), do you want to be dead quiet or have even a fake sound so people hear you? It's just when they try and make BIKES drive by themselves that I'm going to be pissed.
  3. I actually found the Jedi training kind of cool... Though I guess I DO go LARPing too.
  4. I probably would have done the same as the dude, with it being illegal, but damn. He looked like it had tried to kill him or something.
  5. Sometimes people CAN surprise you. That's beyond ridiculous.
  6. Paranoia at its best. I'm all for CHL, even in places where it's not supposed to be (so long as intentions are sane), but that's just a ridiculous amount of weapons.
  7. This. Like the quote like "I may not like what you have to say, but I'll fight for your right to say it."
  8. If you're up for being flexible, as I'm working at Best Buy as well (currently 17), I'd be more than willing to work part-time for you. Be cool to work with (for) a fellow rider! Where's the applications? Plus: Damn, I love frozen yogurt. I'm also pretty skilled with websites/web hosting things as well, if you need any help with that sort of thing.
  9. I like that better. All about the talk, right? Interesting perspective. Insurance is just a 'promoted' "You need this" sort of thing in my mind at this point, I suppose. I'll think on that more. My bike was $3,000 and if I were to get raised insurance, I'd go straight for the $100 deductible. Right now, at 17 years old, I've already been quoted $195/month for that. (vs. $60/month right now.) So each year, that'd be like $1,500 more just in insurance. 2 years, I could have a new bike. The only problem I have is that I like the fact that the insurance would ALSO cover daily riding as well. Assuming it covered track as well, that'd be a double win. I'm going to assume the BEST option would be to get a dedicated track bike if I could afford one. But at this point, I can't. And plus, from what I've read, crashing is VERY typical at track days. Do you really think, as a new rider, I'd be able to stay up throughout a whole year of track days? (Not a rhetorical question. I'm actually curious.)
  10. I'm willing to do that if all else fails, but if there's a cheaper alternative I'm always open to it. Plus, I currently don't have any collision. If there's a chance of adding collision going to the track days as well, it's a double win. Yeah, I figure it's all about the wording. I'll ask my insurance company beforehand. Should I call it a track day while asking? "Performance riding instruction track day"?
  11. I've been looking around, as I'll be taking my bike to the track next year, and I'm trying to find an insurance company that will insure a bike on the track. It appears that this is something that varies GREATLY between companies. Does anybody know of any insurance companies that do insure bikes for track days?
  12. Can you access its filesystem easily, even jailbroken? *Checkmate* (Unless I'm wrong.) I never said "You CAN'T do 'nerd' things on an iPhone." Mine was jailbroken as well. Regardless if you can, it's not as easy to do said things. And you STILL can't do as much. Hell, with Android, you can [basically] make your own operating system. Apple is a proprietary mess of #!$% and even jailbroken, at least from my iPhone experience, you're still stuck with memory-hogging iTunes to change/add anything. If you like being restricted to Apple's will, that's your prerogative. I just find iOS almost TOO dumbed-down. Just because I say they are right for "technological idiots" doesn't mean that a technologically competent person shouldn't have one.
  13. How I've always explained it to people: iPhones are for the technological idiots. If you haven't ever heard the word 'ping' or know what RAM is, it's probably for you. Droids are for people who want the most out of their phone. You can do so much more when you know what you're doing. So, for my vote, as a nerd, Droid. (I've had an iPhone for a full year+, and Droid for probably 3. So I'm not just spouting.)
  14. Nice! How much does one of these run ya? And your garage door had me confused for like 20 seconds.
  15. My dream bike. Saw a guy a week after he got it on his (he'd apparently been waiting 6 months for it -- pre-order obviously.)
  16. Just got back. Felt like the odd one out on my ZX6R!
  17. I see what you did there.
  18. I can't even read the thread! Your signature.. so distracting..
  19. This is a completely separate thing from a forum game. I'm going to assume you didn't read the OP.
  20. Alrighty, so everybody loves the picture games that people post on forums right? Well, I'm a member of another forum, and the members there loved theirs as well so I made an entire website based around that game. Original post from that forum: The website, after I'd say a month and a half and maybe 100-150 hours of working on it, (straight HTML, PHP and CSS), is COMPLETE. And I need guinea pigs to test it out before full release. Moto Picturing Register an account here: Moto Picturing The picture game posted on this forum and other forums is fun, but cluttered with irrelevant comments and too streamlined to have more than one 'game' going at once. So, for anyone, being most everyone, that missed the topic before I started making this website, I made this website to continue that picture game but in a more organized way. Beyond that, all of the picture game players from every forum can come together on this game. How it works: There's tasks, submitted by users via 'Suggest a new task', and each task has its own page. Pictures are posted for each task by its corresponding task page. The primary, meaning 1st picture accepted for each task, picture gets all of the points listed for the task. Any pictures submitted after that picture are 'secondary pictures', and get half the points (rounded down). A comment system is set up on each task page for the 'community', though a message board is possible should enough requests be made for one. (There's a Send Feedback link at the bottom right that I highly encourage you to use if you use the website.) The tasks under 'Available Tasks' are removed once a primary picture has been accepted, but until it expires secondary pictures are still allowed to be posted. All completed tasks go under 'Recent Activity' in the 'Pictures' tab. Each user has a profile page listing their most recent pictures and comments. Each user also gets their own avatar, which can be changed under Edit Settings. There's a Members page listing all members, which is searchable, and on first page load always goes by who has the most points. (Points are obviously the incentive.) So, yeah, it's all pretty self-explanatory - too much to explain in one forum post. I don't know how the reactions will be for the website, but with all of the picture games posted I can imagine there's SOME demand for it. I made it with 'GeoCache' in mind, if anyone's ever done that. People post tasks, others go do it. Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Extra note: If anybody likes this website and is a member of other forums or real-life motorcycle groups, has motorcycle friends, etc. it'd be awesome if you could help me get the word out on this website. I'm not a member of any other forums or many motorcycle groups, so I have very little connections myself in that respect.
  21. That's awesome. Yeah, it was another guy from the class showing me where I-75 was lol. Black R1. I did, actually. I took the BRC before, same thing but on my own bike, and realized how hard slow-speed crap is. So today I'm going out and getting tennis balls, cutting in half, and using them as cones for my own practices.
  22. Haha, sure did. The Honda MSF place. (101 South Stanfield Rd, I think?) Small world!
  23. I'm a newbie, but hopefully I can make it to this! I'm sure I'll meet a few people before then.
