  1. Thanks will be sharing the link. Its one thing to have it on the puter but its so much nicer being able to flip through some real pages. i printed out the one dor my r1. All 700 pages lol. then bought a posterboard at walgreens and used shoe goo to glue the pages to it. Worked better than i hoped it would https://flic.kr/p/yzPn2z
  2. Whats up with the 2 different rims? Please tell me you noticed this...lol
  3. heck just look at all the negative reviews on revzilla note how many of them mention the tag says made in china and how many mention bad stitching http://reviews.revzilla.com/8506-en_us/239396/held-held-rodney-gloves-reviews/reviews.htm?sort=rating&dir=asc
  4. is there a tag that says so? because people on other forums have emailed held and that's where the info came from. the gloves you speak of are made in china or pakistan. the phantoms etc are made in germany or hungary.
  5. Those bike lyfe folks are always getting groups like this together. Not my cup of tea. And anyone that considers them idiots are dismissed as haters. "Rolleyes"
  6. Going to flash my ecu on my new r1. Removing the noise restrictions frees up 12-15hp on average on this bike. Should put it in the mid 170's or low 180's. Thats what most guys are getting with just a flash stock exhaust and stock map.
  7. Yeah. A few years ago i was sending out resumes and never getting a response. Well when i started to email/call them i found out none of thwm could open the file. None of the linux office suits were able to save the file in a microsoft office compatible format. I guess it happens so much now i often see job ads stating they can only accept microsoft office format resumes. And i use delcam powershape at work. Which doesnt work with linux.
  8. Those less expensive helds are china or pakistan made. No surprise they basically fell apart. Only the expensive models are german and hungary made.
  9. I really wish mainstream software would work with linux. I really like using linux mint.
  10. don't forget walmart. free shipping to the store. (online prices are actually less than in store prices that I found) they sell a few name brands. they mount and balance for $8 a rim. but I did have 1 rim the weight fell off of. it could of been something I hit.
  11. my mom ran over a floor jack that rolled out of some guy's pickup truck without the tailgate. it put a hole in her oil pan. of course he didn't stop. also you homeowners, I was told by a cop he could write tickets for blowing grass in the street. he was a rider and said he often stops to tell the person that and they need to clean it back out of the street.
  12. never done anything but stabil in the gas. garage doesn't usually go below 50. no tenders, no chargers for me. however this year I may have to yank the battery cables because this 2015 R1 is known for randomly killing batteries if left sitting. if it drops below 55 I don't ride. all my gear is made for hot weather. even my boots are vented. you don't realize how good they work until it gets cold out. might as well wear running shoes.
  13. Had 50k on my r6 when i sold it back in the spring. Many track days but mostly street.
  14. officially derailed. lol but man I wish i lived closer to california. those people will be desperate to get rid of those cars and will probably settle for 1/4 of that car's value
  15. Yamaha uses the kill switch to activate test procedures with the bikes built in diagnostic feature. I use the key so i dont leave the lights on
  16. nobody is getting free healthcare. I know someone that was turned away from the gov site. he makes $14/hr. they said he can afford to pay for his own. and of course stubborn man as he is didn't get any and had to pay the penalty at tax time. (which i do not agree with) basically if you have a job, you have access to healthcare according to them. because it's mandatory they offer it. they don't have to pay for it but they have to have something for you to choose from. that's what the owner of the shop I work at said.
  17. no they need to make you take the full driving and "written" tests every time you renew. I mean next time you come to a stop light when the power is out observe how many people A. run it without slowing down B. don't know who's turn is next. the basics, 75% of people don't know the basics.
  18. this is how you know what kind of porn your friends are into lol. I think if you delete all your cookies when the browser closes that info is lost. or use your browser's incognito window.
  19. 10 is the last windows version. They plan to continue to keep it updated. http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/7/8568473/windows-10-last-version-of-windows
  20. I'm voting trump. only candidate that isn't a corporate puppet or use religious beliefs for decisions. which is idiotic
  21. In my mind i would assume it was just a bad tire period. it happens.But it reminds us that there is alot more to tire design than what appears on the surface
  22. My r1 also has slide control and its all controlled by a 6 axis gyro. The nice thing about all this for the street is it allows me to run a little more psi in the rear to help with tire life. I dont need to worry about the rear stepping out mid corner or coming out of a corner
  23. regardless of the date because I've seen thousands of tires over 6 or 7 years old that are just fine. that tire was not rated for the speed you were running or the weight you had on the trailer. it over heated. and judging by the sidewall lettering looks a lot like a spare not a trailer tire.
