This looks great! Is this the bike you were talking about entering in the econo-bike build off?

Gmail accounts on craigslist tend to be scams, check the "marketing" and "bartender" job postings for proof. The two things that stand out to me are: The text is actually a picture They've listed their real email

First Flier is up and available! Print and post as you see fit!

We've got a location and space! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1105+N+4th+St,+Columbus,+OH+43201&aq=2&sll=39.961176,-82.998794&sspn=0.276833,0.617294&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=1105+N+4th+St,+Columbus,+Franklin,+Ohio+43201&z=16 It's being renovated into a micro-brewery by a local company, and they'd like us to use the space for the show.

I wish my parents were rich enough to buy me anything I ever wanted, so I could grow up into a spoiled, rich "gangster." And then wreck a perfectly good motorcycle off a building, without worrying about being arrested; because daddy has a $1000 an hour lawyer on retainer. I keep having hope for humanity, and then I see this.

Just a few of mine:

For everyone, we did change the name to "Econo Bike" to help clear up any confusion. This is getting more legitimate every day! That would be huge! I should have it ready to go by Wednesday. I'll get it to you ASAP!

The date is set for the 16th of April! The schedule is as follows: 2pm Contestants arrive. You have an hour to prep/ready bikes 3pm Judging begins 4pm Show Opens To Public 6pm Awards 9pm (or earlier, depending) End. We'll have the location by posters/fliers up, and a blog running the end of this week. Also, there will be food and depending on the location a new brewery's beer as well (we'll be using their future brewery as the location). It will be here in Columbus. I know that might be a drive for some people. If lodging will be an issue, let me know and we'll try and figure something out. Either a good hotel or a good couch, if worse comes to worse. Fazer, 20thGix (all three bikes), and JoshFZ, I've got you guys on the builders list already. You're good to go, and thank you for the support. Also, if anyone has ideas or leads for sponsors (for PR mainly, we don't need any money, but maybe some swag to give away) I'd love to hear them.

I've been waiting to use that quote since I saw the movie!!!

You're absolutely right. It is a revenue stream and I agree with you. The problem has never been good drivers driving fast, it's always been the idiots. Until they figure out how to get them off the road, I'm cool with 55-65mph and decent/forgiving police officers.

Not deathtraps, but your odds of surviving a 55mph crash are greater than 65mph. And the odds of survival increase the slower you go. When was the last time two cars caused major damage to each other at 15mph? It's a corollary factor of course, accidents occur for a variety of reasons. Strictly speaking, speed doesn't kill. But it does enhance the likelihood of an accident when combined with other factors; like road condition, traffic congestion, distracted driving, cell phones, alcohol. etc etc etc. The problem isn't you or I or any good driver speeding, the problem is all the bad drivers speeding. I'll see your image, and raise you one from the same site: Looks interesting: average speed distribution, accumulation of speed, injury risk. Except if you read elsewhere on the site when they critique government speed studies, it says: So where did their average speed data come from? And what is the actual speed that most drivers drive at? If you look at the accumulated speed and crash risk, there is a direct corollary between increasing speed and getting into an accident. The other side of the curve can be explained as well. Slower speeds tend to occur on higher trafficked roads. More cars means a chance for more accidents. Data: http://www.theautoinsurance.com/highway-speed-limits-the-rise-of-driving-accidents-in-america_2010-11-11/ http://www.iowadot.gov/mvd/ods/stats/2006speedstudy.pdf

They have shown that as speed limits increase, the number of accidents does as well. There is a point to keeping speed limits low. From the article, this seems like a legitimate attempt to reduce accidents. It doesn't seem to be like speed cameras in Japan or England, where they're placed on freeways with the express purpose of generating revenue. Although I do wonder how they'll calculate the speed. There's nothing to stop them from using the algorithm that would yield the most "speeders" and then generate the most money for the city and the company. With no citizen watch group involved as a check and balance, this has the potential to be abused very easily. *** To clear up the facial recognition/license plate issue. The ticket doesn't count as points against your license or insurance. It's merely a citation, because the cameras can't get a clear enough photo to make a positive ID every time. At least that's how WTTE and WSYX News explained the red light cameras, if I remember correctly.

Someone call ESPN 8: The Ocho, and tell them their new rivalry expert is ready. Maxi says it best: This year was more fierce then most. I was trying to figure out why. If I want to know what a great t-bone steak looks like I can shove my head up a cow's ass; or I can take the butchers' word for it. Google would have told me ABOUT the rivalry (which I already know) but not why this years Browns fans were so bad.

Why the saltiness towards the Steelers? It isn't one or two of the crazies, but all of Cleveland. I don't get it. I don't like the Cowboys, but I'm not pissed off every time they win. It's not like Pittsburgh signed LeBron.

There isn't one test for everything but the voltage test is close. In addition to that: you'll want to test resistance the wires coming from the stator and the field coils to ground and each other. You'll get infinite resistance when testing to each other (if I remember correctly) and nothing to ground. If you don't get infinite on any of the tests, then whatever your testing is bad. You'll also want to check the regulator and/or rectifier if you have them, in the same way. After that, it becomes a game of find the gremlin.

Street legal is definitely not a requirement, but kudos if you can make it happen! We're working out the time and location right now. As a heads up, there might be a date change (most likely moving it back a week into April, that way there won't be a "Biggest Fool In Ohio" Award). No more April Fools jokes.

I went to high school with him too, when he was still at Ready (pronounced: ree-dee). Great guy, good artist.

The bike has been sold and delivered. The thread can be closed.

That's an interesting take on it, Pot. I'll go find you a kettle. That's an interesting take on it, Pot. I'll go find you a kettle. By your logic then, you can't really be mad at Republicans, nor should you have accused them of somehow being responsible for the shooting. The Republican Party has a product (a certain political ideology) that has many purposes, and on occasion a crazy can misuse a political ideology. It's not the gun company's fault when a crazy misuses a gun, but it is the Republicans fault when a crazy misuses their political ideology?

Didn't they catch you, the Campus Flasher hasn't been seen in quite awhile...

That's only true if you're a bad guy at the start of the movie, or a good guy at the end. Unless it's one of those "the good guy dies to save the world" deals. Then you run out of bullets or something. Actually, I'm pretty sure I could use a spoon to kill six and injure 20 before anyone could stop me. Would you want to fight someone that just decapitated a person with a spoon? WITH A SPOON? No. You wouldn't. I'll go back to Fox News now.

If I die because of an extended mag equipped gun killing, it's your fault because of your "inflammatory speech" on the matter.

This coming from a squidbilly, and I can read just fine thank you. Should I have quoted the marxist claims to make you happy? Or would you have liked a reference to the Obama/Facebook mention. Or the smiley/frowny face suggestions. Or how about where you freaked out about "facts." Again, you don't like being disagreed with or proven wrong. Do grow up.
