  1. and just think any idiot with genitals can have kids....
  2. you should see the method in the owners manual for a R6. like reading something from a lawyer. they have you torque the nut to a certain spec then tighten the pinch bolt then loosen the nut and tap the fork with a mallet till it's flush then tighten the nut to the final spec or some shit like that. it's crazy.
  3. I hope you didn't pay over $70 for them http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/teknic-lightning-glove
  4. I get sick of hearing blowhard fox news and republican tea party idiots blaming someone else when their own party started the shit/signed into law. just goes to show you how many people would rather listen to someone tell them something and believe it than research it and find out for themselves. when all it takes these days is the time to google something.
  5. so you're going to try and convince all of us you cannot be temporarily blinded in daylight huh? ever stare at snow before? a mirror ever blind you before? someone's watch or phone reflect into your eye before? ohio code says it's illegal to run with your brights on anyway. so there's that. and brights aren't actually "brighter" than a low beam. it's just angled up more. so what does that do? shines right about eye level for most people in a car. most people take what the msf course guides say as gospel so why not this? I don't really care as I drive a truck and your lights will never be in mine unless you're doing a wheelie. but by doing it you are being a nuisance to most motorists. their recommendations were to wear brightly colored riding gear. my recommendation is for the states to require people to take a drivers ed class every time they renew their licenses.
  6. ha! good ol fox and house republicans can eat crow. their lord and savior ronald regan started the free phone shit. and the free cell phones started in 2008 under bush.
  7. vanson leathers are so nice it's like wearing cotton.
  8. here's one for ya... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOeR18b2hKs i feel strongly that being a defensive rider/driver is your best tool. I would have never stopped behind these 2 bikes and that car. you don't stop for a funeral like that on the opposite side of the road. the 2 bikes up front were just as much at fault as the pickup in this case.
  9. anyone that likes them are not aggressively or even spirited riding. they handle like shit in all aspects first of all. then comes the grip. and I don't know where these guys buy tires but i've never seen a continental competitively priced with other tires in their category. they're always more expensive than a bridgestone, metzeler, pirelli, dunlop and sometimes michelin. for example I've looked all over the place for some sport attack tires to try out. since they get really good reviews and all. the prices I keep finding are all over $320 a set. why would I bother when I can get a set of Bt-003rs bridgestones (their best street tire) for $250.
  10. my a star suit has been ok. it was about a $700 suit. never been down in it. I've had it since 2004 or so. lots of complaints about astar (including the high end race gloves) gloves coming apart at the stitching from normal use though. that's why i've never bought a pair. this isn't just 2-3 people on one forum i've seen. it's been 10-15 on several forums.
  11. you know who started giving out phones? Regan. look it up.
  12. msf instructor in my class said not to do it.
  13. don't buy something before you sell your's. I know of people who made this mistake and was having to pay 2 house payments for over a year
  14. sprint still uses wimax 4g which isn't much faster than 3g. they still don't have 4g LTE like everyone else does. so no modern smartphone even works with their 4g anymore. that's the catch with sprint and virgin mobile. and virgin is even worse with the phone choices. you either get a phone with decent specs but you can't use it on 4g networks or you get a low end phone (poor specs) and it has 4g wimax capabilities. sprint is promising they're upgrading their wimax to LTE but they still haven't done it yet. so that could mean in a year it might be done or in 5 years. so basically you risk buying a phone at full price from virgin and having sprint make it obsolete in the near future. that's the #1 reason I never switched to virgin mobile. once sprint switches to LTE and virgin starts offering 1/2 way decent phones then I'll look into them. hell even cricket sells high end phones. (galaxy III and slavery made Iphones).
  15. they don't use normal thread you can buy at walmart on riding gear. I'd send it off to barnacle bills in kentucky or look up spyder leather works. you can even have the cleaned. http://spyderleatherworks.com/ http://www.racingleather.com/
  16. I thought so too. I liked their older violator gloves back when they were their best glove. they fit me great and lasted forever. roo palms and all for $117. I've had my old gloves sine 2006 and still use them. no stitching issues or worn out leather in the fingers. another reason I will only buy roo palmed gloves from now on. it last forever and feels (tactile feel of the controls) much better than cow or goat. (goat skin gloves are cheap) these new xcelerators are japanese cow leather upper with roo palms. they're so soft and supple I love them. I still have a pair of leather HJC pants when they made gear. I can't believe they stopped. these things are like wearing a silk pair of pants they're so soft.
  17. well no wonder teknic is out of business the rumor has it.
  18. if you guys are looking for new gear it seems like every store is blowing out teknic gear. STG, Revzilla and a few others are having big sales. violator gloves are at revzilla for 109. I picked up a pair of xcelerators for 159. I was about to drop 197 on them just a few weeks ago. (sorry couldn't find a better place for gear related posts)
  19. best place to spend money on your house. it looks really good to
  20. semantics. does the bullets fly out of their finger tips?
  21. if guns don't kill people I guess you can shoot someone in the face like a cartoon and they'll be ok.
  22. a fuckin iphone shatters like that when you drop it. I doubt it would stop a bb from a good bb gun
  23. you gotta get used to that stuff. that wasn't even remotely bad at all to be honest. you're in for a lot more and a lot worse. I wouldn't even flinch at that.
  24. btw, honda still makes small full out race bikes, http://powersports.honda.com/md250h-nsf250r.aspx
