well, they need the room to lock up people due to mandatory sentences for non violent victimless crimes...

What mods have you done or can be done to a CBR954RR?
John replied to OhioBob's topic in Tech and Tips
919, speed triple, superduke R, monster s4r, brutale, fz1/6, tuono, ninja 1000... -
the river flows north, into lake erie. upper sandusky is up the river. upstream. makes perfect sense.

all of the above. -
DIY or die ppl. carbs are easy too.
-
its ironic b/c a cadillac is a fine machine.

lol why take a pw 80 to a shop? its like one of the simplest motorcycles ever lol. besides, a tube takes like 15 minutes. carb shouldnt take very long either. DIY IMO. save money, save hassles.

i agree with the spirit of your entire post but, i think that these people: are not going to care. the responsible riders are not going to be getting drunk and trespassing and tearing stuff up. we already know better. if you are already a drunk trespassing scumbag, you will probably continue to do so, and you dont really care about the consequences. unfortunately, these ppl are usually not open to hearing what they are doing wrong. ive seen it enough when im out fishing and stuff. people leaving trash and crap. if you try to say something to them you get "oh yea??? whut are you gonna do about it???" since they think they are tough guys who can do whatever they want. i think talking to landowners is a good start. let them know you are not that kind of person, and you do not agree with it.

lol the roads here are fine. go ride in detroit for a little bit... then we can talk about crappy roads.

you can get one for like 10 bucks at harbor freight. can pick one up at sears for a little bit more. there are expensive ones, 80, 90, 100 bucks, but you dont need one like that. the lowest end one will do fine. if you still cant find one, i have one i'd let you use.

you can measure the float height a couple of ways. the only tool you really need is a caliper, or a piece of hose. first, you can hold the carb in your hand with the bowl off, and start inverting in until the valve just seats. not all the way over. many valves have a small springy end in them. you dont want that compressed, you just want the valve seated. when its seated take your caliper and measure the distance from the carb body/gasket to the top of the float. ive found its easier to use the depth gauge. voila that is your float height. bend the tang on the floats to adjust it to the proper spec. dont bend too much, a little goes a long way. second, if the carbs are already on the bike, you can take a clear piece of tube, hook it on to the drain and run it up along side the carb body. then when you open the drain, gas will go up into the tube to the same level it is in the carb. usually you measure +/- from the gasket/bowl. refer to your service manual for actual measurements.

enjoy it while you can

http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/sports/stories/2011/07/03/jewel-not-faring-so-well.html Lake Erie shows signs of returning to the past Sunday, July 3, 2011 03:18 AM BY DAVE GOLOWENSKI Lake Erie, which Gov. John Kasich described before his election as a "jewel" and which for almost a generation has generated hundreds of millions of sport and tourist dollars annually, no longer seems to be getting enough thoughtful respect. Those of a certain age who grew up along the lake can remember when catching a walleye was almost as unusual but as significant as sniffing a Cuyahoga River fire. The lake during the 1960s wore a coat of two colors: muddy brown in the winter and algae green in the summer. The lake also was at times almost empty of oxygen and famously was declared dead. Sound familiar? Then government stepped in and things got better, good enough within a couple of decades to declare Lake Erie the "Walleye Capital of the World" with only slight exaggeration. A lake surrounded by agriculture, industry and development needs constant care, however, and the once-revitalized jewel is not faring well these days. Some observers say Lake Erie again is dying and in need of emergency help. Government is stepping in once more, this time with a seemingly different agenda from one that made the lake a destination for so many. Elements within the Ohio legislature last week passed along to Kasich a bill that all but deregulates the taking by business of Lake Erie water. That water is a public resource not only for this state but for the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York as well as the Canadian province of Ontario. There was little doubt the governor would sign the bill. Yet, allowing the unregulated withdrawal of up to 5 million gallons of water a day by a business is almost certain to undermine years of hard work and cooperation among the Great Lakes states, Ontario and Quebec to preserve and protect one of the world's greatest treasures of fresh water from unnecessary and harmful exploitation. The prospect of enormous and unregulated withdrawals of Lake Erie water was deemed so egregious to the spirit of the Great Lakes Compact that two former Ohio governors, Bob Taft and George V. Voinovich, and a former director of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Sam Speck, publicly opposed the legislation brought by their fellow Republicans. Allies to those pro-withdrawal elements also plan to legislate out of existence a centuries-old principle - reasserted as law by a Michigan court only a few years ago - that at least a thread along the Lake Erie shoreline belongs to the people. And now some Ohio communities along the lake are asking for a reprieve from a law passed more than a decade ago designed to reduce the amount of mercury streaming into the lake through wastewater plants. Lake Erie has been changed tremendously, probably starting with the draining of the Great Black Swamp several lifetimes ago. Since then, humans have claimed the shoreline as private property, killed off the blue pike, invited invasive flora and fauna of many sorts, and choked the water's inhabitants with runoff and chemicals. Fish that have survived aren't recommended for unlimited eating because of the toxins their flesh holds. Some fish shouldn't be eaten at all. Weeks ago, a report emerged about the presence in Lake Erie of fluoxetine, a commonly prescribed antidepressant, in sufficient quantity to kill bacteria, which are at the base of the food web. Concerns persist about the increase in cyanobacteria, known as blue-green algae, because of toxins they produce that can kill fish and other animals, and that have been linked to illness in humans. Until recently, though, it wasn't known that poisons, called microcystins, produced by the cyanobacteria are found in Lake Erie fish, especially predators and sport fish, that exceed limits set by the World Health Organization. The findings were made by a U.S.-Canadian research team that sampled 10 tropical lakes in Uganda and lakes Erie and Ontario. The report appears in Chemical & Engineering News. Another toxin produced by cyanobacteria, beta-methylamino-L-alanine, or BMAA, is being investigated by 21 research teams in 11 nations as a possible cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Lou Gehrig's disease - as well as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Apparently, the most numerous incidents of those dreadful but increasingly common diseases occur around waters abundant with cyanobacteria. The presence of cyanobacteria is tied to high nutrient levels in water bodies, particularly those shallow bodies susceptible to summer warming. Lake Erie matches the description. Researchers from Ohio State University and Defiance College released findings on Friday that indicate cyanobacteria is blooming earlier in the year and farther upstream of Lake Erie tributaries - as much as 50 miles - than previously thought. Low lake water levels, which withdrawals can only exacerbate, concentrate nutrients that spur the growth of cyanobacteria blooms. It follows that low water, a perhaps permanent condition in the age of global warming, concentrate poison.

lol yeah an 81 vette that has 190hp.

what am i supposed to be looking for? people passing me? thats to be expected. people yelling and screaming and shaking their fist? highly doubtful.
