It's amazing what kind of problems a simple computer reboot will solve. Management has their "favorites". Those chosen few will fail to share passwords that are needed when computers are rebooted. When the "system" goes down and a reboot is needed, it's always at 2:30 am, and no one in house has the needed passwords. The boneheads are supervisors, for not insuring changed passwords are shared with those who need them at a moment's notice. .

My work rules: 8 hours for them. 16 hours for me. Do not do more work on another person's machine than that person normally does. Being short of help is not my issue. I'm not responsible for scheduling and staffing. If you want me to do two people's jobs, it requires two people's paychecks. In order for me to do this extra work, what is it that you do not want me to do so that I have time to do that? There is absolutely nothing you can do or say to make your supervisor any smarter. If you bring attention to a problem, you will be the one assigned to fix it. You get two breaks and a lunch. Don't cheat yourself out of them. I do not have the authority to make decisions that screw things up. Management gets paid well to do that. If the person who called for maintenance is not present when maintenance shows up, we will come back when they come back. Once you have put the machine in position to complete the task and the operator is not present to run the machine, starting the machine for them will only insure they will never come out of the break room..

It didn't happen to this extent. Things of this nature were very rare. The world is becoming a more dangerous place, and it will get even worse. You haven't seen anything yet. .

If you are not sending your gauge off to the Bureau of Standards, how do you know it is off, or the ones you are comparing it to is correct? Do the ones closest to the same reading win the prize? . .

Very cool. Very cool. Would have liked to see a higher flight putting it into the middle of the pond. .

The Ohio Department of Insurance would maybe like to hear about this. They license the agents. Consumer Hotline: 1-800-686-1526 Fraud Hotline: 1-800-686-1527 If they say they want to destroy the gear, do it for them before you turn it over. .

I'm happy to see three parallel twins on the "fastest" list. That gives me hope. And 570 hp? What in the frigging frig would you do with that, that didn't involve a straight line, or maybe circling the globe? Talk about getting your Iron Butt certificate. Can you say 2000 miles in 24 hours? . .

Maybe it's time to chuck it all and go live in the woods. .

Bring back public hangings. High noon. Courthouse lawn. Every Wednesday. Bring a lunch. .

The lock was never cut. Right there is the same one that has always been on there. (scuffed up and rusted with a little help from a file and being left in water, and paid for with cash). I've had no break-in. Nothing is missing. If there is a record of ammo purchase, I sold it. I needed the money for a bike farkle. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. .

Some of that looks interesting. I try to stay away from the touristy areas, Conkle's Hollow, Cedar Falls, Ash Cave. Too many Rangers and sight seers for me, unless I'm in tourist mode. You have to really watch the traffic around there. .

And now, 80 is the new 60. . And now, 80 mph is the new 60. .

With a Katana rim and a GSXR 600 brake torque arm a 160 can fit. But, I don't want to go that route since it's a learner bike, and I don't want to sacrifice handling with a wider tire. Not that I would have the skills to notice. It's not a sport bike but I want to ride it like one to the best of my ability when I'm on the fun roads. Unless someone knows something more than what's been posted so far, I think the Avon will be my choice. I'll ride to work and have the Pony put them on tomorrow. .

Well, I checked out all tires that were suggested here. Pirelli Angel ST and GT, plus Diablo Rosso II and Sport Demon. Angels do not come in my size. They only stock a Diablo front and a Rosso rear. Michelin Pilot Road 4, 3, &2's, same story. Pilot Street, and Power, same deal. Here's what they do have, that they suggested to me. Bridgestone Battlax BT-45 Front: $104.99 Rear: $107.99 Dunlop GT-501G Front: $89.99 Rear: $132.99 Avon / AM26 Roadrider Front: $86.99 Rear: $94.99 The Bridgestones are closest to stock. I'm leaning towards the Avon. Feedback from you fine folks? .

PM sent. .

Sounds like a good day to just go back to bed. Sorry to hear it. .

It seems as though you are mistaking your smoke alarm for a timer. .

I felt like I was flying, at 45 mph, when I first started riding. .

That was just plain stupid. .

Black Beach Week, Black Bike Week, Black Bikers Week Black Fill-in-the-Blank Week Atlantic Beach BikeFest It's all the same, listed as a major African American motorcycle rally originally called the Atlantic Beach Memorial Day BikeFest. I had to look at photos to be sure it wasn't for the purpose of celebrating black motorcycles. One website mentioned all were welcome. Does anyone have a hankerin' for some chittlin's and greens? .

How long would it take to get lynched from the mere suggestion of a white bike week? CNN would be all over that. .

Iron Pony is close to the path I take home from work, so I find myself stopping in there about once a month, if not to purchase, just for the pleasure of browsing and looking at bikes I've only read about and seen pictures of. I think the store itself is a rider's fantasy land. No need to go many other places to check items off of your Christmas wish list. Marc Iafolla and Josh Lynn are always helpful whenever I'm trying on bikes for size. They take their time to talk about what may be a good match for your needs, dreams, and fantasies. These guys are a big part of what makes going there a pleasant experience. The parts counter. I never feel rushed there. They've always been more than helpful and full of great advice. Even the keeper of the gate at the security desk has been pleasant. I'm just happy I don't have to drive half way across the state to get there. It's a one stop shop for me. For icing on the cake, Schmidt's Sausage Hous had a truck outside the door one day last week. So, I was even able to have my dinner there after browsing through the store. You can't beat that. .

I want to do these things. I have to get some camping gear and plan way ahead for it. .

So, somebody tell me what the solution to this was. .

If it was a 130/70 R17, we could slap it on the rear of my bike so I could go down to Hocking Hills and burn those ridges back down into the proper tire profile, for you. I would return it all better, minus about 250 miles of life, and maybe a little "burnt" odor.
