  1. yota, you probably are on the pipe a lot too though eh? not just putting around the yard or whatever? the way i understand it is that the 1:32 provides adequate lubrication for riding hard in the upper RPM range, on the pipe most of the time. like during a race. after all, this IS a race bike when you are just putting around in the yard, 1:32 is too thick for those low RPM conditions and you can start to foul plugs, so you should run a little thinner mix if you are not riding hard. i could be mistaken about that though, im sure someone on here will straighten me out if i am
  2. "the ugly top has been removed" uhhhh no. it hasnt.
  3. tru dat. let em take her. after 20 minutes in the car listening to her yammer on about god knows what they will either have killed her or they will have returned her.
  4. i got these a while back, but unfortunately they are too small for me. anyone out there with tiny hands looking for some race gloves? these gloves are great, as was the rest of marsee's gear. unfortunately, they decided to stop making gear and only make luggage these gloves are brand new. i rode with them once for about 20 minutes. http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-gloves/marsee-gloves/ go there for review of the gloves, and pics etc. 60 bucks. i can bring them to bike nights or meet you somewhere in town if you want.
  5. they should have splurged for one with a counter on it like the debt clock in NYC
  6. thats what im saying. rags to riches is a myth. rags to getting by is more apt.
  7. we've BEEN fucked. been fucked since reagan.
  8. yeah, the old horatio alger... rags to riches. but the thing is, the american dream is exactly that. a dream.
  9. id make decent money too if i worked two full time jobs (80 hr/wk)
  10. ive done that before too. personally i like to take em out so i can inspect them and make sure they are gravy.
  11. ill tell ya how to cut the prison population. its EASY stop putting first time non violent drug offenders in jail. there was that so hard? also you can change the crack/powder cocaine sentencing disparity. if you have 5 grams of crack its a mandatory 5 year sentence. 5 grams. thats about 100 dollars worth. to get the same mandatory sentence for POWDER cocaine, you need five HUNDRED grams. thats a little over a POUND. about 25,000 dollars worth. also cali is about to legalize the herb for everyone. not that it isnt pretty much legal there now, because it is. good for them.
  12. exactly. did they become a doctor because they truly cared about helping people or because they knew they could stack paper?
  13. one thing to add... personally when i change pads i try to resist the temptation to just put in the pads and go. i like to take the caliper off, take the pistons out and make sure everything is nice and clean then reassemble. i know its not totally necessary, and it takes a little longer, but its good preventative maintenance. brakes are important. try to keep them in as best shape as you can. keep dirt out of the seals, piston etc.
  14. nice bike. wish i had one for my first bike. then again, id probably be dead.
  15. they have yuengling there, so its cool with me.

    wolo horn

    A little higher pitch than a typical car horn and just about as loud. Search on youtube there are tons of vids of them. They are the same as a stebel nautulis horn IIRC
  17. http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2009/07/2010-harley-range-revolutionar.html Remember just two weeks ago when Harley announced its earnings had dropped 91 percent? Well banish those memories, Harley-Davidson is roaring into 2010 with nine entirely new* models! Wow, when CEO Keith Wandell said the company would be investing in the brand, we thought that was just a cleverly disguised euphemism for firing people, we had no idea it would actually stretch all the way to new paint colors and this comprehensive of a raiding of its existing parts bin. If these all-new models can't bring young people into the Harley family, we don't know what will! "This ambitious new motorcycle launch reaches to our riders with the incredible passion that Harley-Davidson has inspired for more than a century," said Bill Davidson, Harley-Davidson Vice President of Core Customer Marketing. "We are thrilled to offer our customers nine new models and a full selection of products for 2010 that lets their enthusiasm for enjoying great motorcycles continue at full throttle!" [exclamation point added for emphasis] Headlining the all-new range of entirely new models is an unprecedentedly new plating process called "Midnight Pearl" used on the headlight cover, timer and derby covers, fender strut covers and other equally exciting bits and pieces on the CVO Fat Bob. While Harley doesn't officially claim any performance, fuel-economy or handling benefits due to the fear of overwhelming you with awesomeness, we hear from a company insider that this new color is good for at least a 50bhp increase from the Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110ci V-Twin, at last putting it on par with the European maxi-scooter competition. It's massive changes like that that are really going to make 2010 model year Harleys fly out of dealer show rooms! Elsewhere in the range, you'll find exciting all-new features like "slammed suspension," "an optional flame paint scheme," "a larger front wheel," "a new tail light assembly," " a slimmed-down exhaust," "new paint schemes and styling details" and plenty of something called "light and lean extreme!" To say that we're overwhelmed by the way in which Harley has honored a long tradition of American innovation, American quality, American competitiveness, American courage, American vision, American progress and our favorite American tradition of all, honesty, wouldn't accurately express the emotions these new American motorcycles make us feel! In fact, all we can say about these 2010 Harleys is: America, fuck yeah! * This statement may not be entirely true.

    wolo horn

    i picked up one of these at harbor freight the other day. i think it was like 30 bucks or something? very easy to install. comes with a relay. about 20 minutes with some wire, some terminals and a soldering iron and it was installed. ive seen squeaky toys for dogs that were louder than most motorcycle horns. this one is more like a car horn. box said 120dB but i have no way to verify that. it definitely gets attention though. there was some girl walking down the street the other day and she jumped about 3 feet when i honked if you are looking for something a little better in the horn dept, id suggest looking into one of these.
  19. you know, i never heard people saying "elitist" until all the working class members of the media like bill oreilly or sean hannity started saying it. my uncle went to iran for a month last year. said he had a great time. had no problems at all. maybe they went to iraq because they saw "mission accomplished" on the news, and hear people taking about how things are going great ???
  20. i dunno. i think that drawing is actually pretty damn accurate.
