  1. I know what you're thinking... This is a pretty petty thing to post up. But really, accurate tire pressure is kinda important.

    I've got an old stick-type tester that I inherited from God knows where, but I really need to pick up another for the tank bag or spare in the garage. It needs to be maneuverable around brake rotors and sprockets and all that shit and hell, it shouldn't be hard to check your tires so you do it more often, right?

    If you've got one that you like, where did you get it how much did you spend?

    Thanks!

  2. Congrats to her! Good luck in the modeling career - hopefully next time she'll get to work with a photographer that has some sense about how and which flash to use. The shadows are horrible, the glare from the flash detracts detail from everything plus washed her face out. But there was some creativity used in the scene and at least she was posed fairly well.

    From my service time, I have a noticeable hearing loss and have noticed tinnitus for the last 4 or 5 years.  Riding the bike without earplugs, especially on the freeway, will only make my hearing worse.  I have no intentions of getting Belltones in retirement.

     

    Also, earplugs actually make the communication with my Chatterbox headset better.  The manufacturer recommends it and it really helps!

  4. ah, classic harley bagger, they weight those side thingies down so they dont flap

     

     let me translate:

     he was trying to tell you that he had miscalculated the amount of ballast needed, and while grateful for your concerns and attempt at being helpful, he was aware of the slight lifting of his leather container device, and was going to remedy that upon successful return to his domicile.

    lol

  5. You need louder pipes on your car (or truck).............

     

    edit: I bet he didn't fracken signal either. Hand signals work.

    oh no, there was no signal. like I said, the only thing that saved his ass is the fact I was already looking at him because of that saddle bag. I had my cruise control on but I usually cover my brake when my asshole sense starts tingling. ;-)

  6. What the hell is wrong with people lately?  Driving like idiots is expected but worse than usual recently, and now some fool on a Harley almost commits suicide on my front bumper last night?

     

    Was heading to friends in Pickerington with the wife and kid yesterday around 6 pm, coming down 270 to the 70 east split.  Had the cruise set to 71, was in the third from the right lane, passing two guys on Harleys who were in the second from the right lane who were spaced about 20 yards.  Passed the first bike, nice paint - ape hangers - no gear of course.  Coming up on the next bike I'm noticing it's a pretty ratty looking ride.  One of the saddle bags is waving around a little and I'm wondering if there's a problem with it so I'm checking it out as we approach.  This probably saved the fucker's life as I'm already locked in on his bike.  Just as my front bumper evens up with his back tire, he must have decided that he wants to get into the bypass lanes instead of going thru the 70 e/w split and begins an abrupt lane change in my direction.  I nail the brakes and swerve left, he nails the brakes and gets squirrelly swerving back to his right, wifey screams... 

     

    I check my speed after I'm sure he's not going to crash and I'm not going to hit him and we're down to 50.  He's back in his lane so I'm back on the gas to pass and get away from him.  Shoot a look as we're going by and he won't even look over.  He knew he fucked up.  I'm sure he didn't glance over his shoulder to check his blind spot cause he had no windscreen and turning his head would have probably blown his raybans off his face.  Wow...  I think the only thing I could say the rest of the way to our friends house was "stupid fucker" over and over.

     

    :nono:
