  1. actually statistics show workers in the usa have longer hours, paid the least, the least amount of vacations and sick time than any other industrialized nation.
  2. I watched a show called ultimate factories on the National Geographic channel. they were at the corvette factory in Kentucky. they have an electronic/computerized measuring station that measures every single part of the chassis on the vette. if it's off by a few thousandths I think it was, the whole production line shuts down until the errors are corrected. American companies have figured out how to guarantee perfect parts removing human error. so the technology exists. I think Asian companies either didn't want to use it or rather move production back home. I know a few people that work for asian run companies and said they are some of the worst hard headed people to work for. for instance the plant in tenn that makes fuel pumps, they person I know that works there said they don't allow any doors to be open. they think the dirt from in the air outside will comtaminate the plastic parts being made. but the air quality inside the building fails safety standars in place by osha. and they get finded all the time for it. they said the air in the building is full of burning plastic fumes and is very bad to breath. it's like breathing in spray paint fumes. they don't want to put fresh air systems in the building. again, they are hard headed people. instead they pay the fines, and get mad at people who get sick. they don't have those kinds of worker protection in their factories back home. that's why they like it there.
  3. I'm not aware of any bikes that are actually built in the usa. honda was building the goldwing in ohio but went back to japan with it. as far as I've always heard the bikes come almost complete and the dealer puts the rest of it together. the vin sticker on mine even says "built in japan"
  4. craigslist was supposed to be pulling the plug on the adult section. seems like it still works.
  5. ha! http://www.ohio-riders.com/showpost.php?p=567180&postcount=29 http://slayerhater.blogspot.com/2010/06/study-launched-why-do-cruiser-owners.html looks like I'm not alone in this
  6. you guys shouldn't drink that shit. you'd feel better if you sleep better. poor sleep is almost exclusively why you feel tired during the day. my suggestion is to get the proper amount of sleep and a good sound sleep. protein shakes will also help you feel better.
  7. is that the same girl? if yes then I take back what I said. the first pic does her no justice. she needs some leg definition too. they look like sticks lol
  8. silly asians. need tools for everything. where's their ingenuity?
  9. what is he trying to do anyway? if it's not seperating it from the control arm? because that method in the video looks like the smartest way. it poped right out. or is HE not understanding how it works? fuck now I'm all confused.
  10. talk about butter face. eww. you guys must be lonely.
  11. but you did have me wonder exactly what he is wanting to do. remove it from the spindle or seprate it from the arm like in the video.
  12. duh. pressing it out is how a tool for removing them works. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Kit-03-Ball-Joint-and-Tie-Rod-Removal-Set-(6-piece)-Alltrade-Tools_9150006-P_N3492_T%7CGRP2083____ they also have the press fit kind tools. (like what's on a ford explorer) http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Kit-46-Ball-Joint-U-Joint-Service-Set-(23-piece)-Alltrade-Tools_9150043-P_N3492_T%7CGRP2083____ hammering them out is just one method. using a fork is another. but it ruins the boots for the most part.
  13. go to an advance autoparts and rent the balljoint tools. it's a press that will seperate all that stuff without damaging it. I take it the method in the video isn't working for you?
  14. I have a question. a few of us were wondering about this, can you actually shoot someone or is it just a right to carry the damn thing? everyone is saying you still can't actually use it.
  15. if you're trying to access vista or windows 7 good luck. I've never been able to get my xp computer or ubuntu to access my vista one. but my vista one see's everything even linux. I've followed all the steps on the net I could find. so far none of them work. I ended up using a damn usb thumbdrive lol
  16. see that's just it, you just have to jump in the discussion. because you're an ego maniac. you just have to jump at the opportunity to call someone a name. but then you bet all butthurt when someone says anything back. I didn't even quote your post and ask the question. but because of your mental disorder you threw yourself under the buss.(just like now) and now because of your own actions, you get bitchy with me about it. here, fill this out and send it to the site admin,
  17. see this is the shit that gets on my nerves...I frigging said the forum has been shut down. in 2004. either pay the fuck attention or shut the fuck up. and I never said it was better than ohio riders. I said the graphics were still more than they are on the new site. and it didn't require special browsers to see it. it's you few morons that can't comprehend what I said. I don't hate you guys but you guys all act like the 3 amigos. one talks shit so the others join in. and you don't know what the fuck is going on. go play website asteroids.
  18. why is it you guys assume I'm talking about you??? I even said my question is not directed at you and the other whiner. same thing with the other thread about the new forum. all I said was I refuse to use firefox and you guys instantly jump on your keyboard and say if I don't like ohio-riders to leave. I mean WTF? how can you come up with I said I don't like 0hio-riders? everything you 2 try to say to me is what you 2 act like. I mean look in a mirror for one minute hypocrites. this is a open internet forum where people are still free to speak their minds...either grow a thick skin or leave...you see my join date. 2007 you just signed up and already have 1900 posts. you flap your gums on forums an awful lot to not understand how a forum can be. as a matter of fact, only one other person in this thread has been a ohio-rider member longer than me. casper. so how do you like those apples? why don't you guys just leave if you don't like me talking shit to you? you must be a sad lonely person to sit on a forum that much especially on a forum for something you don't even have or participate in. next you going to give me riding instructions? how's that for assumptions?
  19. yeah but why do they go there??? it's not for them. they just show up and fuck up everyone's day. now they even sell frigging beer because of these people..just what everyone needs a drink to go ride a road they can't handle. great.
  20. :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: you're actually the internet bad ass and totally impressed by little rounded corners and shadows in forms and hate people's opinions!!!... feel better? see how stupid you sound?
  21. I've been behind that guy on the gap. those videos of his are not nowhere near as fast as they appear. he's only doing about 35-40 in most of the corners. because his bike is dragging parts. that's actually pretty slow for a sportbike. I usually average 45-50 you guys are often too easily impressed.
  22. 99.9% of those guys aren't into performance riding so why show up to a place like the gap? I just don't understand this. it's not a open highway through corn fields.
  23. aww...the gang is all butt hurt. let me ask you cruiser guys something.. why the hell do you guys show up to places like deals gap and hold up everyone else that has a bike that can do more than 22mph through a corner? it's obvious you guys don't like riding something that handles so why show up to a place that you impede everyone else? just asking since I have your attention and all. not directed at you 2. I mean it's like old people showing up in a crown vic to a road race.
  24. easy tiger it's a joke. but anyway why would you feel sorry for me? you're the one living black hole ohio with nowhere to ride and ride a boring cruiser with the worlds worst brakes. no wonder you're so uptight about what I said about the new forum look, you get excited over the worlds most boring kind of bikes to ride.
