  1. tell that to pro riders that use their bodyweight to turn the bike.

      I've seen it discussed by pro's on tv about doing it.  some of them need new boots every few races because they push so hard on the pegs it wears out the soles fast.

     

    I've tried it and can't seem to get any results.  many claim that's how they get it to turn so fast.

     

    Lee Parks' book, "Total Control", addresses this.  I don't think it's the pegs according to the reading I have done.

    This is my solution to your problem (see the BROWN text below).  I added a location AFTER your intended destination.  I looped it back to a previous point before your destination.  The MAP completed itself when I did this.

     

    Without a fake ending point placed after your intended destination, I cannot get the map to complete, regardless of the directions being complete, on the left side of the screen (as illustrated see below).

     

    This is also why the directions say:  Driving directions to Apple Creek, OH

    Even with a specific location, "Christmas Run Park",

    the map still did not complete.

  3. A block watch was started this summer on my street.

    Our fourth meeting is coming up at the end of the month.

     

    I've heard stories of things going on that I wasn't aware of,

    right here, under my nose.  It's good to get your neighbors

    together regularly to share things going on in your neighborhood

    and neighborhoods close by, so that you can guard against

    bad things before they strike.

     

    The police can keep blockwatch groups informed of crime trends

    in other areas of the city so that you can stay one step ahead of

    the criminals.

  4. It was Friday, 2:00 in the afternoon.  My sister-in-law had just finished mowing her lawn.  She parked the mower just outside the open garage door, then went and sat on the step to have a smoke.  A car pulled up and parked in front of her neighbor's house.  A guy got out, walked up the side yard, and slipped into her garage, between her car and the wall.  He was looking for something to steal when she yelled, what the hell do you want?  He jumped and took off.  It scared the shit out of her. 

     

    Keep those garage doors closed and locked, all the time.  Ya hear me?

  5. The economy sucks!!

    Today I received a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

    I've noticed CEO's are now playing 'miniature' golf.

    Exxon-Mobil had to lay off 25 Congressmen.

    Angelina Jolie is now adopting children from America.

    Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

    A picture is now only worth about 200 words.

    They renamed Wall Street "Wal-Mart Street."

    And as if it couldn't get any worse, in desperation I called

    the Suicide Hotline, which transferred my call to the

    center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal,

    they got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

    I'm going back to bed...

  6. I feel so much better, now that I looked it up.   :crazy: 

     

     

    Brinelling is a material surface failure caused by Hertz contact stress that exceeds the material limit.

    This failure is caused by just one application of a load great enough to exceed the material limit. The result is a permanent dent or "brinell" mark. It is a common cause of roller bearing failures, and loss of preload in bolted joints when a hardened washer is not used.

     

     

    False brinelling is damage caused by fretting, with or without corrosion, that causes imprints that look similar to brinelling, but are caused by a different mechanism. Brinell damage is characterized by permanent material deformation (without loss of material) and occurs during one load event, whereas false brinelling is characterized by material wear or removal and occurs over an extended time from vibration and light loads.

    The basic cause of false brinelling is that the design of the bearing does not have a method for redistribution of lubricant without large rotational movement of all bearing surfaces in the raceway. Lubricant is pushed out of a loaded region during small oscillatory movements and vibration where the bearings surfaces repeatedly do not move very far. Without lubricant, wear is increased when the small oscillatory movements occur again. It is possible for the resulting wear debris to oxidize and form an abrasive compound which further accelerates wear.

  7. I'll be trying to get off work for this.  I think

    it's actually 3 South Market Street, in

    Danville.  But it's too close to matter.

    The current Google Map street view

    shows it to be a BP Gas Station.

     

    If anyone wants to ride with me from

    Newark to Danville and/or back, you are welcome.

     

     

    Google Maps says, from Newark:

    1. 8 miles up SR 13 N to St Louisville
    2. Turn right onto Dog Hollow Rd (Co Rd 206 into Co Rd 165) for 2.6 mi.
    3. Continue straight onto Martinsburg Rd (Co Rd 165 into Co Rd 204) for 3.5 mi.
    4. Continue onto St Louisville Rd (Co Rd 31) for 2.4 mi.
    5. Go thru Martinsburg [s Market St (Co Rd 31 / SR 586 N ) / N Market St (Co Rd 31 / SR 586 N / US 62 E)
    6. Continue to follow US-62 E (Millersburg Rd) for 13.6 miDestination will be on the left.

    30 miles from Newark to Danville, for 45 minutes.

    I would like to be gassed up and leaving Newark

    by 10:00 AM.  Departure point to be determined.

    PM me if interested.

  8. Lots of things can happen, in the blink of an eye.

    I think we need training to have instant reflexes.

    It would save us from many bad things. 

     

    How about someone set up a course and teach

    us how to react properly to sudden dangers?

     

    I'm glad you and the bike came out safe.

    .

  9. I went to Pokey's event last night.  Met a lot of good people

    and saw a lot of nice bikes belonging to some very serious

    motorcyclists. 

     

    I would have been there for breakfast and the rides this

    morning except for the 50% chance of rain.  I hope the

    guys in the tents didn't have a wet night.

     

    The barn is awesome!  Had a great time.  Might make it

    for the BBQ tonight.  Was good to finally meet Ben.

  10. Here I am, cruising up a country two-lane,

    behind a box truck.  No worries. 

     

    We approach a nice wide intersection.

    There's a right turn lane, two lanes proceding

    forward, and a left turn lane.  Oncoming, there

    are two lanes blending into one. 

     

    So, this truck stays to the center line and stops

    in the left turn lane, with his right turn signal on.

    WTF?  There is a driveway on the left, so finally

    I figured he is actually making a left. 

     

    Cautiously, I ease around him on the right, hoping

    he is not actually going to move into my lane

    while I accelerate around him.  I'm wishing to

    make a left, up ahead, so that was my desired

    lane to be in.

     

    He continues to sit there while oncoming traffic

    clears, so that he can make his turn.  After I pass,

    and move back into the left turn lane, I look in

    the mirror to discover his front left turn signal is

    flashing.  A left front signal flashing and a rear

    right signal flashing?  WTF?

     

    You got to be careful out there.  That's mine.

    Got one of your own to share?

     

    .

  11. Wait, Who said we were for sale?

    If so...Who has the money to buy us?

     

     

    We may have already been sold.

     

    NEW YORK – Could real estate on American soil owned by China be set up as “development zones” in which the communist nation could establish Chinese-owned businesses and bring in its citizens to the U.S. to work?

    That’s part of an evolving proposal Beijing has been developing quietly since 2009 to convert more than $1 trillion of U.S debt it owns into equity.

    Under the plan, China would own U.S. businesses, U.S. infrastructure and U.S. high-value land, all with a U.S. government guarantee against loss.

  12. Maybe YOU'RE confused... we're not on the gold standard anymore... Our currency has reached free market status, which means it's worth exactly what the market will bear...

     

     

    Well, I suppose you are right.  I went back and did some reading.

     

    Can I at least get you to admit that your motorcycle is ugly?

  13. With such a hot seller, they have no incentive to hold it for you. I'm sure they thought you'd wait on another. Poor customer service but then again, that's most places these days (not exclusive to dealers).

     

    But with a deposit down in cold hard cash,

    that should buy you some preferred treatment,

    or at least an honored promise.
