  1. I love you guys, you give me hope. Reading CL makes me think everyone is a scammer or idiot. I always put my ads with a firm price. If no one bites you can edit to OBO. And even then tell them if you don;t get any better offers in 2 days you'll take it and they don;t want to lose it they may pay your price. Remember the rule who ever names a price first loses? My Uncle pointed out they haven't even looked at it yet. The item could be a condition worth half of what they already offered. I love people who try the emails. "Would you take <50% of asking price>? Sent from my $800 Ipad " When I was moving house I had a guy email about a weed wacker ask my address. He showed up unannounced a week later and I made him buy a ladder too. The opposite side trying to buy something people will email back and forth agree to a time and force you to email back just to ask their address or let the time go by and never send it. Even write back "you never showed up want to try another time?"! An old non English speaking italian guy came with his son to buy a fridge. When I went in another room to get them change he had lit a cigarette in the house! I had a garage sale ad once and listed NO EARLY BIRDS. Then put a sign on the door [Not home from Church until 9am do not ring bell] (wasn't really at church) still had snipers ringing the bell 15 minutes early. Didn't answer the door. They know they can hit 3 sales before 9 and take any undervalued items before polite people show up. Same neighborhood a guy would come around before trash day up the driveway beside the house and dig through the recycling bin for cans. Once he was picking through non trash items under the carport for metal scrap. Caught a mature neighbor use a leaf blower to blow leaves from THEIR tree off their driveway into our yard. You don;t even know where to start reasoning with these people.
  2. It may not have changed, and I've never owned a yamaha, but some bikes are known for poor factory/dealer prep tuning.
  3. I propose a research study to see if Violent punishments affect future behaviors. Dog owners are the WORST. I had my bicycle helmet locked to my bike once and i noticed a puddle below it when i came back. I thought maybe some one spilled a drink or some ice was melting. Then i saw yellow drips still coming down my tire. I had just passed a guy with a dog on a leash, a kid, and flowers for his missus. Such a caring guy in a upscale beachside neighborhood feels no need to leave a note to warn someone so they don;t spill his dog;s urine on their head after already ruining their helmet. So I smashed the hell out of it in a bit of a tantrum without putting it on my head or tasting it...
  4. yep GM, driven by less skilled possibly impaired drivers. I had the DR650 project a few months before the SV was hit. Went motard with it and only on the beach or gravel roads a few times. I prefer pavement on two wheels.
  5. Noisy helmet designs should be banned. Or at least rated and listed on their spec sheet.
  6. Aussie 2007 VTR250 MC33 also known as a "baby monster". Just the ticket in a city with no freeways. Bellypan was an add-on from a ex250 same as pic1 ! Baby ninja killer if they were imported.
  7. Thanks naked V-twin man, with the parallel twin beginner and 1 v4 snuck in. Kevlar jeans in the crash. I had a scratch on my calf. The Firies brought out airbags to lift the Holden off my foot. The most damage was a loose tooth from hitting the front of my helmet when I was knocked into the car in front and the medics missed my vein with their IV for some ugly bruising.
  8. That's a broad statement. What HD(s) are you looking at?
  9. Some bike frame designs have the engine as a stressed member. Other Bikes's engines stress the frame as a member
  10. It could still need to be stripped down for proper heat treating.
  11. Cheers, that was fast. It's just a courteous web-design rule of thumb. Power users already playing a video on another monitor or opening up 2 links in new tabs which then play the same sound out of sync. Or just when browsing while having the TV on, music playing, talking on the phone or internet surfing at work or a library.
  12. Step #1 remove autoplay video from website.
