Just heard on 99.7 that there was a fatal motorcycle accident yesterday. 27 year old man. I believe his name was Brian (can't remember the last name). http://www.nbc4i.com/midwest/cmh/news.apx.-content-articles-CMH-2008-07-15-0039.html Does anyone know this fallen rider? RIP.

I'd rather do fantasy football at work than read NinjaNick's booorrrrring posts.

Hey, I'm a dork...I'm game for an FFL league. I'm not in to doing the 'free' leagues. It would have to be for about $50 to make it worth while. No auto-draft, and I prefer using yahoo.com... 4829 posts (NinjaNick's total) on a local motorcycle website, I think that qualifies for Major Dork status.

thanks for the edit cleaner

I vote for this chic... http://www.marziaprince.com/ or Gisele Bundchen (sp?)

sounds like they owe you a tire too.

Thanks to all that replied. Ohio Motorcycle gave me a new battery. Hopefully this was the cause of my drainage. Admin...feel free to close this thread.

No...it's not 5 yrs old. Sorry for the confusion. I bought this battery from them in Feb or March.

No mods...it's all stock except for the rims/tires...oh...and the customized crash marks I took it to Honda Northwest, aka Ohio Motorcycle, which is the place I bought it. They were experiencing the same thing i was...which was this... 2 weeks after riding, i'd attempt to start my quad. the battery would be too low to turn the motor over. after 15 mins, my trickle charger indicator light would turn green, meaning it was charged. Sure enough, the battery barely had enough to turn the engine over once. At HNW/OM, they took it to the super secret back room to charge it. 5 mins later i hear the kid telling the older employee that their charger went green...and that the tester stated that it had no juice. Then the guy went back to the super secret back room to charge it. After 30 mins or so, he spoke to the older employee...i couldnt catch what he was saying. But he told me that I'd have to leave the battery over night so they can charge it to the warranty specification. :confused:After that, if it doesn't hold a charge, I'm guessing they'll give me a new battery.

Thanks, i'll try this...more to come.

yes. what does that mean?

After a short period of time, my new battery has no juice to turn over the engine on my 2003 Honda 400ex. I'm unsure of the the definition of "short period of time"...maybe 1 to 2 weeks. Once I use my trickle charger to power it back up...no problems. I guess I have a short. Two things I've noticed... 1. When charging on the trickle charger, 'red' light means that the battery is charging while the 'green' light means the battery is fully charged. While charging it this past weekend, I noticed that it finally went green...but then went red...and then went green...and continued this cycle. I figured that was proof enough that a drain/short was present. When I disconnected the ground wire and started charging again...the green/red cycle stopped and the light stayed green. 2. After riding for quite some time and stopping for a short time to rest, it seems like my battery will be weak occasionally on restart. I'm wondering if there's a wire that's loose that cause this short/drain. (this is probably the worst case scenario). Anyway, I have a hot/cold DC tester. Before I start taking the thing a part to see where power should not be when the ignition is set to 'off', I figured I'd throw it out to the forum. In addition to that...if i do get power in some odd place, I'm not certain that it's supposed to be that way or not. So, does anyone have any suggestions? I like beer and I like to grill...so if you wanna come take a look at it...beer and food will be your payment Thanks in advance...

That's not too early for me...I wake daily at 6am. In fact, the earlier..the better! I might be in...getting LASIK friday...not sure what I'm going to be allowed to do 3 days later. Nice work on the cornhole boards!!! I love the LED's...great idea! I thought I was smart when I asked Santa Claus for two shop lights on tripods... Damn, we need to schedule a drinking/cornhole fest!

So much for the 15 minute rule. I can't believe this group is going to be riding this early...hell must have froze over in my absence.

In a few weeks, I will definitely make the trek from Cbus to Dayton/Springfield to ride with you guys.

a quick google search yielded this thread http://www.meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19813

sorry. I don't have time to read all post...especially ones that do not begin with flashy pictures.

Take this for what it's worth... My old neighbor used a rag soaked in kerosene on his silverado. He said it removed the wax build up and wasn't harmful to the paint. ...I'm not sure I would try it...but i saw him do in on more than one occasion and his truck looked nice.

are they powering that thing with the inline 4?

Damn, that's sweeet. Please post the price when it comes out. Looks like a cross between the r1 and the gsxr.

special thanks to John for keeping an eye on my flying rear seat!

I agree. Winter is for binging! However, I drank like a fish during the day yesterday and passed out early! I was slightly hung over at 7:30am, but by riding time...i was fine.

Yeah, I didnt know whether you were going to stall it or flip it backwards! You need to hit the secret racing spot...

Cleaner, if by "start" you mean the first 10ft...yeah...you had me...but then what happened? That guy sure was angry...I thought he was going to blow a gasket! Thanks for organizing this ride/route...I had a great time.
