you know what, lustalbert .... i have actually considered the pole option BUT you make a very good point ... i didnt think of that and now that I have considered that, I am quite pissed that I missed such an obvious point. I should have thought of that ... guess then that posting this thread was a good thing after all!!!!! THX for the input! keep it coming, those are some good points!

i think i found a way around the ground anchors ... there are 3ft tall cement poles in my parking lot protecting all the gas and water lines .... simply wrap the chain around the pole ... once the chain is run through the wheel and swingarm and the pole, there wont be enough length to slip over the pole ... just a thought and saves me $$$

no house, im a student. the parking lot at my building here is where i would install it. orion, yeah i know. But from other magazines and sources, the almax chains have been rated the best. It is an obvious bias video BUT its unfortunately the only ones I could find. the 1.5m chain weighs 22lbs ... holy hell.

As some of you know, my R6 was stolen a few months back. Well I just bought a new one to replace it. I have been tossing around ideas on how to secure it. Other than having it in my kitchen, every idea requires a chain, lock, and ground anchor. Yes, a garage is a great place BUT even garages can be broken into. From what I have read, many people chain their bikes up even inside a garage. So I have resolved that if I want to store my bike in the kitchen, I would have to build a 12 foot ramp that aside from being risky to ride up/down, it would also be a PITA to move every frigging day just so I can ride. I think I might want to consider something a bit more convenient but effective. If I do go with a ground anchor, lock, and chain, which ones do I buy? Which styles? How should it be set-up? I have found a ton of info on all kinds of chains. Lets start there. Despite what I have heard, what companies have promised, what government agencies have labeled as quality, I keep coming back to the same chain. Here are the vids first, since Im riddled with ADD and this is getting a bit long: In this vid, pt1, you can see how every single chain is cut easily. In the 2nd vid, the almax ver IV chain is tested: so from these vids, you would think, the almax is the better chain, well, here is the site with some reading. http://www.almax-security-chains.co.uk/ Now, Im not saying that this chain is 100% unchoppable ... but I am thinking that most thieves are not going to be able to chop that chain. So I have found a chain I feel comfortable with. What about locks? Ground Anchors? Ground anchors, well I am liking this one I found: http://www.torc-anchors.com/torc-ground-anchor.php?PHPSESSID=88b911fe268ad65e7a88f5cdbf313521 ANd locks: DUnno ... i havent gotten that far yet, but ill post more when I do. Yes, if someone wants it, they will get it, BUT they have to break the security in order to get it! And a well secured bike that a thief cannot break is a bike that isnt stolen. I do wonder if theives try to steal my bike and fail if they will fuck it up instead and roll off ... Discuss

does it never end?!?!??! id like to see that same commercial but done with 3 gay guys ... that would open a lot more jokes on word play!

yeah thats a great commercial ^^ but a bit off topic nonetheless.

have you seen the one with the ferrari (or something) and the the two cars meet at an intersection, than the transam revs it's engine, opens it hood, and the other car shakes and falls apart? that one is classic!

nurkvinny, its an 06 r6. not heavy (for a bike)! r1- yeah for me the season is over, though i might take it out for a spin here and there. you're right, i have until spring to figure it all out. back to the cad system...

Yep, turns out my bike was stolen by a group of illegal mexicans ... one of them was pulled over and happened to be in a stolen car ... one ratted out the other ... the bike was unsalvageable. Insurance paid out so I got another one. The ONLY thing about the the wood ramps is that I have to have a curved ramp of sorts, and weight ... aluminum is light. Any ideas on how to keep the weight down?

i had an 89 legend LS coupe and i loved it! it broke down a lot but she had over 225K miles on it... cars are a champ, id buy it .. take over the payments on my STI and give me your car, id call it an even trade.

Wondering if anyone knew a place I could get a pretty large ramp. I dont want to risk getting my bike stolen again, so Im parking it in my apartment, but there are a few stairs in the way, a total height of 51.5 inches ... looking at 10' to 12' ramps, preferably 36-40" wide so that I can ride the bike up and down instead of walking it up. I was online and found a couple, but most are not long enough, the grade would be a PITA. And $100 for shipping is just ridiculous, I think Id rather support a local business and go that route. Any ideas?

yes thieves suck, especially the repeat ones! i was just up at Hinds MS, and the owner was telling me that they have many many break-ins ... and the thing is, the thieves are repeaters. They steal a car and get caught, locked up, get out and do it all over again! Ridiculous! Should deport these people, or just lock em up longer.

rofl

just build it, sell it and ill buy it!

everything about that screams why stupid people shouldnt be allowed to do drugs ...

wtl4m ... on the 2nd page, there is douche that uses the photo for his background and on his desktop he has a shemale vids folder ...

mad props!

do you by chance also have a shemale vids folder on your desktop

girls + cars = constant mistakes am i sexist? nope, I just havent seen many good girl drivers, I know there are some but honestly there are so few, Im just being general.

^^^ oh lord STOP! MAKE IT STOP!

triple threat is 100% true, once you have kids your opinion changes.

^^^ white trash will do anything for a free flight to LA and 3 hot squares a day! hate those shows, just amplifying the absolute lowest levels of garbage we ALL pay to support. Millions of dads across the globe are hoping this suit goes through because once it does, then that will lead the way to some much needed family court reform!

http://www.paternityfraudaustralia.com.au/index.html :disco: :disco: A World Landmark Paternity Fraud Case - Husband wins $70,000 In March 2000, Liam Magill of Melbourne, Australia, discovered that 2 of the 3 children born during his marriage were not his biological offspring. Liam Magill In 2001, DNA paternity testing proved that a trusted family friend, Derek John Rowe, was actually the biological father of the 2 youngest children. Evidence later proved that Derek John Rowe and Liam's ex-wife had a 6 year affair, 4 of which were during her marriage to Liam and started shortly after she married Liam. Liam was awarded damages of $70,000. http://www.paternityfraudaustralia.com.au/images/l_magill.jpg In addition, the government's child support collection agency has the legal responsibility to recover both the child support that Liam paid after the end of his relationship with his ex and the cost of raising the 2 children while he acted as the children's father as a result of the paternity deceit before the separation. The 2 children in question and Liam's biological child may even seek to sue their own mother for damages when they become of legal age since their lives have been damaged so much by the mother's irresponsible damaging behaviour. DETAILS: A Landmark Decision” By Vivien Mavropoulos, Instructing Solicitor for Liam Magill On January 31, 2002, Mr. Magill issued proceedings in the County court based on the law of deceit. Mr. Magill alleged that he suffered loss and damages for loss of earnings and use of moneys and also for personal injuries, comprising severe anxiety and depression in consequence of false representations made by Mrs Magill as to the paternity of two of their three children. On November 22, 2002, His Honour Judge Hanlon of the County Court found that Mrs. Magill had no genuine belief in her assertions that Mr. Magill was the father of the two children or at the very least was reckless as to that belief and awarded $70,000.00 in Mr. Magill’s favour comprising: (a) $30,000.00 for general damages relating to pain & suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, past, present and future; (b) $35,000.00 for past economic loss, constituted primarily by expenses of the children; © $5,000.00 for future economic loss. Mrs. Magill appealed to the Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court of Victoria. On March 17, 2005, the Court of Appeal overturned the judgment of Judge Hanlon. The reasons of the Court of Appeal establish, among other things, the following matters: First, the law of deceit is not confined to a commercial context but rather has general and flexible application. In particular, Eames J said “there is no legal impediment to the bringing of a claim in deceit in a domestic situation between cohabitating couples such as the Magill Case”. Secondly, the Court of Appeal rejected the view that such action would cut across the no-fault approach to family law and would open the floodgates to litigation. Eames J qualified this reasoning as follows; “whilst there is good reason to discourage traumatic litigation such as in the case of Magill, it is not the function of the court to apply social considerations so as to deny a party a remedy which is otherwise open to him or her.” Thirdly, His Honour Justice Eames upheld Judge Hanlon’s finding that the representations were false and were made without any genuine belief or were made recklessly. Fourthly, however the Court of Appeal held that Mr Magill did not rely on the naming by Mrs Magill of Mr Magill as the father of the children on the birth notification forms sufficiently for the purposes of the law of deceit. In coming to its decision, the Court of Appeal noted that the case should not be seen as a precedent “which was likely to control the outcome of any similar proceedings.” In other words, it is open to bring an action based on the law of deceit for paternity fraud. Liam Magill has now successfully sought and been granted special leave to appeal to the High Court of Australia. The Full Bench will now hear this case in Canberra on 7 April 2006.

BUMP! Price is set at $900 for the pair!
