SJC1000rr

Burnt two weeks in the summer, two more for deer season and random times this year. Think total I took about 6 weeks off this year. O well, still have 200hrs to go and its about to start a new year! Now to save up for some riding gear ect....suppose I need to retrace that Mid Ohio thread.

LoL! Well, I only work 7a-3p...so I had a little christmas and my parents came up to visit me. After they left.....Left 4 Dead for 3 hrs then to bed.

Scheduled and not much of a choice for me. (we work 24/7), but...for $82/hr yeah....I'll go in on Christmas and today... Though the whole lack of food this was a major pita. Hopefully things will be open today and I can eat something other then chips at work. Though...making pork chops, brauts and other fun things for dinner for myself was a good x-mas dinner to make up for it!

+2 at work...yesterday...and today.

Not sure on the adapter, so I hit google/360 forums. The answer is...yes. No other USB adapter will work since the ms360 one has the drivers/setup for the 360 preloaded. I set mine up via wireless/wired as I didn't wante to hassle with it. I have 2 Linksys routers, so I set the 1st one on wirless network ect. I set the 2nd one to wireless bridge network so that it would go off the 1st one. I then took a short Cat5 cable from the 2nd router to the 360. Its fast and secure. http://www.jakeludington.com/xbox/20080103_can_i_use_a_usb_wireless_adapter_with_my_xbox_360.html

Woose! I left around noon yesterday for Cincinnati and drove through all this. Hit up Bass Pro, then went to The Party Source for some select beverages. Afterwards, 32 East back to my parents house then 23 North back home. Mind you this would take around 5.5 hours normally maybe 6. And yesterday it took 12!..... But I had no accidents and avoided tards at all costs by hitting secondary highways when possible, 4 Wheel drive 4TW.

Was a dud year for me. Got a 8pt in bow...barely saw 1 in gun season. Thus far for the Family: Me-8pt Brother-7pt Dad-4pt Mom-Adult Doe Last year we took 11 deer and this year 4....so not looking good but still time for bow/muzz season.

Yeah, that was kinda a hope i was thinking of also. Since the one I got has a big body (122lbs dressed,180ish live) and smaller antlers..it was nice to pick him out of the herd to get some better gene's into the next few years births. Hopefully in about 2-3 years we will have more decent shape/mass to hunt. This season thus far, they are moving very late in the day. Everyone that has a deer so far got it between 5-5:30. Only 1 person I know got a early morning deer, which was right at dawn. But that with with the warm weather keeping them down. Hopefully they are moving a lot more now.

I quarter out my own deer and got about 6 big roasts, 10 bags of burger and about 5 bags of loin. Loin Chops, Roast with potatoes/vegs, and burger into everything that can be used in it. So far, my brother got a 7pt, me a 8pt, dad hit a 8pt but after trailing for 1/2 mi and crossing the property lines it got away. But with this years gun season soon approaching we hope to get more. Last year we got 11 deer, so hoping to hit that mark again this year since in zone C, you can get 6 deer in 1 day. My brother noticed that the reg's changed and sent an E-mail to ODNR asking about it. Since the hunting manual only states the limit was 6 with no specs, he asked if it had to spread out or can be taken in one day. Their reply was, Yes...6 deer can be taken in 1 day...but only so long as each deer is tagged by the hunter before the next deer is taken. So...take one...place your temp on it and get your next before checking in at the end of the day. Now...I know we would all tag our deer (cough) before mowing down the herd

With knowledge of your area, it doesn't take too long. I did crossbow for a few years, then started compound late last year. Bought a Reflex Bighorn, Scott's Mongoose Deluxe release and misc other items. Took maybe two days to have it sighted in back to 50yds with 6 inch patterns. Randomly going out won't work very well, if you know the area and when the deer are moving you can clean up nicely. Went to my parents this past weekeend and bagged one Friday evening at 25yds after waiting for around 2.5 hours. Not the biggest I have gotten by any means, but hey...its something in the freezer. Before (Would have loved to see the big one!) After

I got my 07 in June for $8999 at Joe Carsons in Lancaster. You might give a call to Honda East of Toledo and get a price from up there. (877) 437-1631) When I was looking they had a bunch in stock of all colors around $8700 at the start of the year. They might still have some in stock that you can use the price against someone down here like I did for mine. GL and hope you can find someone with a deal!

LoL!! Though this is still way way early, has anyone though of places to stay for those that don't want to drive to and fro the same day? Maybe a group discount at a hotel for a night or two and that makes good meeting/starting place other then the track. I know several people have stayed up there either for Races or track days, so personal experiance is always helpful.

Bike Preparation All bikes MUST pass technical inspection prior to admittance to the track. If your bike DOES NOT pass tech inspection, you will NOT receive a refund. Tires and brakes must be in good condition. Tires should be at least 75 percent of new condition. Any tires that are bluing from excessive wear will be disallowed. Slicks are allowed in 85 percent plus condition. We will have on site tire service at each track day, so if your tires don't pass, you will have the opportunity to put on replacement tires to pass tech. All glass, headlight, turn signals, and plastic lenses must be taped over or removed. Side mirrors must be removed for the advanced group and at least taped over for all other groups. We recommend, but do not require removal of center stands. No bikes with center stands will be allowed in the Advanced/Racer Group due to the ground clearance issue. All machines must have an operational handlebar mounted kill switch/button and self-closing throttle in good working condition. Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST use water or water wetter or a non-ethyl glycol based anti-freeze/coolant. Approved Poly Glycol brands are: Evans, 7th Gear, Liquid Performance, and Engine Ice. NO AUTOMOTIVE ETHYL GLYCOL BASED COOLANTS ARE ALLOWED. -All valve stems must have caps. -Wheel balance weights must be well-secured. -License plates must have bolts taped or be removed -No Fur Allowed. Rider Gear Requirements Damage free DOT or SNELL full-face helmet with face shield. Riding boots that fully cover the ankle. Gauntlet style gloves with full wrist coverage. One or two piece leathers. Two piece leather suits must zip together for intermediate or advanced groups. Ballistic nylon suits such as Joe Rocket, AeroStitch etc. are acceptable in the Novice and Intermediate Group only provided they are either one piece or zip together with at least 50zipper contact with reinforced and padded shoulders, elbows, hips, and knee areas. No chaps. Advanced and Intermediate group riders MUST WEAR A BACK PROTECTOR. Soft back pads sewn into suits are not enough. We sell Bohn back protectors at special STT member discounts. We can arrange to deliver your new back protector to you the day of your event or ship it to you home. We will have a limited number (6-10 per event) of back protectors for rent. No back protector = no track time! Cancellations Refunds will be given only if a cancellation request is received 31 days or more in advance, in writing (email, fax or letter). If you paid via credit card we will deduct a 15 percent processing fee from your refund amount. Cancellations made between 30 and 15 days prior to an event will be granted credit for another track date useable within 1 year from the date of the event (credits can only be transfered one time). No cancellations will be accepted 14 days or less prior to an event. If you want to change your track day to another track day prior to the date of your scheduled track day there is a $50 administrative fee for this track day change. You may not reschedule within 14 days on an event. Sessions will be held rain or shine.

I'm down for this also. From looking at prices earlier this year, this might help some people figure out if they can go. Though, I'm sure prices are subject to change for next year. 1 Day event - $195 2 Day event - $375 Must book 2 day event on same order to qualify for 2 day discount. If this appears to be moving forward next year, we could also have people post on where they think their experiance level will be for riding (novice, experianced, advanced)so they know who they will be riding around/know.

I'm guessing that its right. If you blew a large amount of dust out, from experiance I guarantee theres still as much but thicker in it. I pull my heatsink and video card out of my desktop every few months and blow/clean them with a soft brush. You can blow out loose dust, but over time I actually gets thick, immobile and plugs the side which prevents cooling. (like a plugged air filter). Its up to you on what to do, but getting a good clean and fan would be my suggestion. Cleaning and leaving a old fan with bad bearings is just asking for it to stop and cook everything. Fans are cheap! And temp sensors are typically in the motherboard where the cu drops in, or spaced between the heatsink and cpu. If its the first going bad, then a new motherboard would be in order and your price starts to rise dramaticlly. Otherwise, it would be less expensive.

+1 ^ If it was a desktop I could do it for you in a few minutes, but I don't mess with laptops. Thermal paste is only used as a space filler between the cpu core and the heatsink to transfer as much into the heatsink as possible. (more contact, more transfer). I build PC's all the time, but I'd take it to someone that works on them and its and easy fix. Go with what Satan says unless you are 100% confident you know what you are doing.

I talked to the guy that works on my bike, and he said that starting it can actually be bad for your bike in the winter. As most know, when you start it cold you see the moisture coming out of the bike in the exhaust. Just letting it run and turning it off can let the moisture build up in the cylinders and let wear/rust get in early on them. If you do this, make sure you actually get your bike going and the moisture out the best as possible. (up and down the street maybe if theres not snow?) I typically just add stabil, unplug and remove the battery and cover it up.

Still have at least one ride from the shop to my house now that the bike is finally fixed! Then a few more trips out after that probably. Then kickstand, pull battery for the tender and cover her up.

A motorcyclist was killed on I-70 at the height of rush hour today when his bike skidded into the path of a tractor-trailer. The crash occurred about 5:30 p.m. at Rt. 256 near Pickerington, the Lancaster post of the State Highway Patrol reported. The eastbound motorcyclist rear-ended a Ford pickup truck, the patrol said. The impact pushed the Ford into a larger pickup, and the motorcyclist skidded into the far right lane of I-70 east, into the path of the semi. Officials hadn't released the name of the motorcyclist late tonight because family hadn't been notified. No one else was injured. dispatch.com

True, but I'd say for the average most agencies don't have this new type of radar. Probably the Highway Patrol at most, but the cost of upgrading from old units to new ones wound be a significant. Any if you get a laser ticket, make sure the guy was outside the car or shooting through an open window. If they were shooting it through a window, you can get it tossed.

FYI, Radar can be stationary or mobile(moving in opposite directions). Laser has to be stationary, only. And chances are if you get a laser warning, your already toast most likely.

Few things come to mind here from reading and thinking. Pulling up beside him was almost a road rage incident and I can see how things escalated from there. Now, as to the dude hitting Bret and you having witnessed it...and nothing was done, I have a problem with. I am assuming that Westerville? took the police report and said we won’t file. Did they say to go to the prosecutor’s office if you want to file charges? With Bret listed as the victim and a statement from you and anyone else there I don’t see what the problem is. Victim vs. suspect is one thing, but when you have a witness to something…./boggle. Thats more then he said she said. Did the 3rd biker that stopped give you any info or just bail? I mean more witness to something like that, his nose....I'm in awe really.

I believe it is OSP policy to have the dash cam+audio working on any traffic stop. If they actually turn the audio off to rip your arse and you complain, the stop gets reviewed and if the trooper turned it off on purpose...he can and probably will be written up. As for local cops, I'd say its 50/50 on if its working or if they even have them due to budget/lazyness. As for bringing you into their car...I believe the idea is to bring you into their car so they can get all the info and know what your doing. Versus leaving you in the car/on bike and having to answer it all while standing outside praying some jackarse doesn't cream everyone while rubbernecking like we have seen in so many videos. I've known a few troopers and their attitude is due to the training they are put through. They train them para military and to be hard and to take charge and unfortunately that also can lead to unpleasantness. Most of the ones I know were like that for a bit and then after a few years chilled out and were normal. But typically, yeah....if OSP pulls you over or if your in an accident and at fault, prepare to eat a ticket. ;(

I don't know of any "training" places that someone could even go do for that. I mean, theres motorcycle schools for police but they use Harleys/BMW's. I'd be interesting in seeing whats up with dat!
