  1. Ubuntu is the single easiest Linux distro available for a normal user. It's what I switched my mom to when she couldn't stop getting viruses on her computer. There's so much more to Linux than just using the GUI, though.

  2. I ran Ubuntu on my laptop several years ago. It's pretty easy to figure out. I'm not sure why someone would need a course...

     

     

    There's more to Linux than the GUI, and the majority of people coming from Windows will need a certain amount of hand holding.

     

    This class exists just like "Learn Windows" classes exist.

  3. Whatever group you ride in, ride your own ride. Do not feel compelled to keep up & ride over your head. If you do, you drastically increase your chances of having a really bad day & preventing others in the group from enjoying the ride as well. If you do end up in a group that is outpacing your comfort zone there is no shame at all in waving other riders by. The group will & would much rather wait for riders to catch up at all turn offs than to be tending to your broken bones & bike. Just my two cents but I think way too much emphasis & worry is being put on pace here.

    He speaks the truth. Source: I had to deal with another rider's broken bones and busted bike.

  4. I promise it won't be a one time thing.

     

     

    I'm a cunt...I know. Manly familia duties have kept me busy for the last 3 years. I'm proud to say that I finished my bachelor's degree in December and I'm free to do rails of coke off of stripper's tight asses.

  5. I've used them since 06.  I prefer to do my own work so I've only gone in for big things.  Only had one problem with a carb sync on my Bandit back in 08.  I called and griped because it ran like shit and got lousy mileage, and they told me the tech that did the work lied on his resume and did a bunch of shoddy work for them.  I brought it back and had it fixed in a day and running right, free of charge.  Had no problem with tires getting mounted and they can usually do it while you wait, provided you bring the wheels in and call ahead to make sure they have someone available.  Otherwise it's usually a day turnaround.

     

    John (the owner) and I are on a first name basis and I get a pretty good feeling from doing business from him.  They aren't perfect but no shop is.  I think he may cycle through techs for one reason or another, I think they have a notable ebb and flow with work throughout the season causing some guys to leave.

     

    Basically I'm trying to say I haven't had any issues with them that they were not quick to resolve.  If they screwed up, they investigated, admitted fault, and made things right.

     

    I've been happy enough with their work to not bother trying another shop so I don't have a good comparison other than my own experiences.

    Thanks for the input. I do most of my own work too, but with the temperature falling and no experience (or the proper tools) to take the shaft hub and swingarm apart, I'd rather leave it to someone who's got experience with this bike. And this isn't the type of thing that I want to find out on the road that the person didn't know what they were doing..especially since I won't be able to road test it until Spring next year.

  6. High prices.  Mediocre service.

     

    I used to get tires mounted there.  I never felt comfortable using them for anything else.  They charged a good friend over $1k to service an older Suzuki.  I didn't run right after, and they didn't stand behind the work. 

     

    Yeah, I figured as much. I was semi hoping I was wrong.

     

    You need to stop playing around with that M109 and get a damn track bike.

     

    :D

     

    Selling the Ninja next Spring (hopefully). Then I'll start the track bike journey. 

     

    My 9 is purdy. You should come touch it.
