  1. I don't know if you saw the thread, but I've decided to check the valve clearance on by bike this winter. There are approx 8 pix with more to come. I'm about to order the shims. The shim's are like $6.50 apiece so I've measured the clearance like 5 times now. Pretty soon, be posting the pix with the exhaust cam removed.

    I've also decided to do the PAIR removal mod.

    Later twin fans

  2. Court to hear case of teen strip-searched for ibuprofen

    In its appeal to the high court, the school district said requiring a legal standard of "probable cause" to conduct student searches would cast a "roadblock to the kind of swift and effective response that is too often needed to protect the very safety of students, particularly from the threats posed by drugs and weapons."

    Nearly the same reason given by the NSA to bypass the FISA courts.

    Is the 4th amendment gone?

  3. I'm currently in the process of checking the valve clearance on the RC. This is the first time I have done a valve check. So far it's a pretty easy process, but any hints/tips would be helpful. So far I’m finding the tolerances on the negative side of the recommended clearance. I’m posting some pix of the process thus far.

    I build a 7x10x7 enclosure and had to sweep it a few times. Damn leaves.

  4. eh. Snowboarding is fun, riding a motorcycle is fun, programming is like being hit in the face with a bottle of sprite.

    you should go straight to the top of the nerd list! :D

    :lol:

    Why does it have to be a bottle of Sprite. Can't it be Shasta or maybe Tab.

  5. This has become a problem nation wide. The true issue if the kids are charged and convicted is the possibility the might have to register as a sex offender for 10 years. If I remember correctly the pictures have to be of a lewd and lascivious nature.
