  1. Difference in uses from hex sockets to just getting T-handle hex wrenches? And I ended up buying that 309-pc set and the 2 chests. With extra discounts applied (found a $35 coupon for over $300), total came out to be $461 excluding tax.
  2. I wonder if the whole castle/stand your ground laws would hold in any way if the person really was COMPLETELY innocent and had no reason to have their house broken into?
  3. But there's not in the database, and that's all that counts! mysql_num_rows() is the truth.
  4. Free bump for a nice bike. (You chose the least busy time of the night to get noticed!) GLWS!
  5. The 309-pc set just went down to $199.99. I can't rationalize NOT buying it at this point. So.. if I get that chest set too, do I need to buy anything extra to keep these organized? Any trays to put in them? I'm assuming that, since the 309-pc doesn't come with a box that the chest is pretty much a necessity. Not that I wouldn't buy one later down the line anyways. And I promise I'm not just trying to be spoonfed. I hate that. But I have never, not once had mechanic-type stuff introduced to me. So I'm basically goin' from scratch.
  6. What does the 309 piece offer that is worth double the price of the 260 pc ( http://www.sears.com/craftsman-260-pc-mechanics-tool-set-with-3/p-00936260000P#reviewsWrap )? I tried looking through the sheet of tools in it, but as you can tell I'm.. not exactly mechanically inclined as of yet. They all just say "socket, socket, screwdriver" to me. For like 20% more tools it's 100% more price.
  7. Anything on Fox has to be true! It's the only thing more credible than the Internet!
  8. I can see a hellstorm a-brewin' for the first time they actually try to enforce that. Surprised it didn't get more attention, supposing it's still in effect.
  9. Forgot to tell you I ordered that stuff after you suggested it. Now if only whatever it wicks away wouldn't turn to instant icicles...
  10. What would you recommend as a toolset that will get me pretty close to everything I'll need, excluding the special order-by-itself stuff? I understand that the 260-pc set might have a lot of SAE stuff, but doesn't it also have all of the other stuff I need mixed in? (I could be wrong.)
  11. Was there when my dealership set up their first sold one. It sounds like heaven for what it is. If heaven was a deep, grumbly exhaust note.
  12. Do this if you want her to look supa fly.
  13. I have. There's not anything good (from what I've seen) right now. Plus if anybody on OR has a dirt bike they'd want to get rid of, I'd trust them over a random Craigslister.
  14. You've never had someone behind you saying "Just do it" and it never inspired you to do it? And then you enjoyed it? I doubt he's forcing her into it or anything even near that.
  15. I'd say 250. What is she going to be able to do on a 600 that she couldn't on the 250 as a new rider? 250s also have great resell potential and the greatest (in my opinion) to pick up biking quickest.
  16. So, y'all might have seen my "Help me spend my money" thread. Everything in there is still relevant, just so you know I'm not just some "change my mind on the fly" guy. What I thought was going to be $2,000 ended up looking like it's going to cost more like $500, so... I can look into other things I've been wanting badly! (Plus all of the maintenance I talked about in there is definitely even more relevant for dirt biking. ) I am looking for a dirt bike around the $1,000-$1,500 range; could be a little more or (feel free!) a little less. I'm open to anything - I trust that the members of OR will lead me in the right direction! (Oh god is that a bad idea? ) I'm an "aspiring" dirt bike rider at this point, but I've been looking at them for something around half a year-a year so.. yeah. There's my experience with dirt. I'm young enough to be some of you's kid, so .. wouldn't you want to give your kid a good deal? Post up!
  17. Kawi wants $75 for the 03 ZX6R manual. Screw that I'll just put it on an iPad for free. Do you guys know if the Craftsman tool sets are on sale a lot? Trying to decide if I can hold off on buying that set for a few weeks or if I'll get screwed it will go back up to reg. price. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
  18. Personal suggestion on a metal box? I don't know what I'd be looking for. And I can understand the quality tools argument, but I've heard good things about HF's lifts at the least. Hadn't even thought of the radio. Better tack on an auxiliary cable too!

    The lion thing in the back.. heheheehehheheehehee
  20. I'm not sure how I should take this. On one hand, it's crazy. On the other, it makes complete sense. I like the way you think. Craigslist ad: "Only owned for 3,000 miles. All it needs is an oil change. Willing to trade for any bike that doesn't need an oil change."
  21. I didn't even know you could mount tires without a machine. (Though I guess they couldn't "back in the day," so makes sense!) What would be the benefit of buying a lift table over just using a front and rear stand? (Just comfort of not having to get low every time, or..?) Will do, cap'n. Yeah, I figured this would be a hell of a lot cheaper than going to the dealership for crap. There's something nice about only having to pay for the materials with free labor! Do you think what was linked below (http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-260-pc-mechanics-tool-set-with-3/p-00936260000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1) would be perfect? I might go to Lowe's later to scope out some of the basics, or I could just end up ordering them online if they're cheaper. (As everything seems to be now.) Haha, a new bike's not going to help the fact that I have to pay for the maintenance on any bike! That looks awesome! (And not too expensive by what I was looking at, haha.) The only thing it looks like it's missing when it comes to "basic tools" everyone keeps mentioning is T-handles. Am I wrong in that, or what's your suggestion on changing it? (Don't know if there's something out there to where you don't have to buy an entire new set of allen wrenches and can just attach them to the T-handle or .. yeah.) That's literally been my #1 pet peeve every time I've worked on the bike. I f'ing hate using allen wrenches without a T-handle on the bike. So damn tedious. 150-500 sounds more than reasonable to me, at least for the basics! I honestly don't have much interest in the air tools/upgrades anyways right now. I barely know the names of tools at this point, haha. What kind of stuff would you say is still "basic," but that I'd have to buy separate? (Thinking along the lines of an air pump, air gauge, etc...) R6 = ZX6R. Mine's sexier. I gotcha, though. That sounds good to me. I guess I was under the impression that right from the get-go I'd be getting a ton of "motorcycle specific" crap. As you all can tell, I'm mechanically stupid. I've never been around anybody that fixed crap on their own - no family, etc. etc. But whenever I've tried fixing something mechanical it's pretty much always worked out well. It looks like right now I'll focus on getting the basics. What would the rest of your guys' opinions be on this? (That Steve mentioned. And looks awesome.) http://www.craftsman.com/craftsman-260-pc-mechanics-tool-set-with-3/p-00936260000P?prdNo=1&blockNo=1&blockType=G1
  22. Not really. But close. I decided that this summer I would like to start actually working on my own bike rather than relying on the dealership to do everything, both because it's a hell of a lot more fun and I want to learn more about my bike, not to mention (in the long run) cheaper. Problem is, I HAVE NO TOOLS! (I have some crappy allen wrenches, screwdrivers and a rear stand.) So, before summer I plan on having around $3,000-$5,000 saved up for doing whatever with the bike. Around $2,000 sounds like a good number for spending on the basics of maintenance, tools that will last me quite a while. That could be a really high number (or really low, I know nothing!), but of what I've got saved it's definitely a "preferable" number - if I don't need to, then even better. I want to be able to do most everything, from oil changes and all other liquid changes to suspension adjustment and taking off the wheels (I can pay to have tires put on, I doubt that machine is cheap!) to valve adjustments and tire air pressure checking/adjusting and then everything in between. What all do I need/what would you recommend getting?
