GM still isn't producing cars that are worth a fuck, and Ford is eating their lunch (and rightly so) by adapting to the new environment, getting some new thinking in management and finally working out their quality issues.

GM media begs to differ with your statement.

The only thing I've heard him say is that churches (all religions) should do more in the way of charity, and the government should do less (I agree) and that religion should not be wiped from schools/government but that all religions should be accepted. As for him saying the founding fathers were mostly Christian, uhm, they were. That was a point of contention with England. That's why religious tolerance was such a huge part of the founding of America. But that's just it, religious tolerance, for all religions. I've definitely heard him speak about that before.

O rly?

Holy crap! Words have meanings!?

Trust me, Joanne Favors would know.

So many people have him on their ignore lists, it's actually beneficial for most to repost anything interesting he posts.

I'm doin' it right then.

Hell, I searched and didn't see it. It's not even coming up down below under "Similar Threads".

I try to title the threads I create with select keywords or tags (usually as part of the verbiage in the title). And if they don't fit in the title, I try to put them in the post.

Does it come up if you search "Triumph" or "Dallas"?

That was a pretty interesting video when I posted it this morning...

And truth be told, even I was late on it. It was actually posted in the news I read last night, I just didn't get to see the video because iPad and flash don't play nice.

If everyone was capable of Pauly-nomics, the market would collapse because of that too.

If everyone was an extreme couponer, or ONLY bought low and sold high... it wouldn't work either. So, I'm glad there are people that enjoy blowing their money because it lets the others that enjoy saving it, do that.

Money -- can't take with you.

I might though, just to f*(k with people.

It's a joke... I'm almost half-tempted to think some of these "republicans" are just trying to see how crazy they can get before even the craziest of the people stop believing in them.

I'm assuming you watched the Daily Show last night.

Dallas, Texas

Getting rear-ended is usually a minor annoyance in a car, but on a motorcycle it's a worst-case scenario. Still, it could have ended much worse for this Texas man nearly crushed between two cars on a Dallas freeway. Amazingly, he survived. According to one report, 25-year-old Zacharie Perez suffered a ruptured spleen, torn muscles, a fractured rib and four fractured vertebrae and may need surgery to repair a hernia, after his Triumph Daytona 675 was rammed by a driver with no licence and no insurance. Apparently the driver behind him never even hit his brakes.

Ultimately, Perez was lucky; being tossed into the next lane, instead of getting fully sandwiched between the two cars, saved his life.

He's not batting very good with me... no response since I sent my e-mail with all my information last week. I've been checking my SPAM folder too, just in case.

That might work if I put collision coverage on it.

Not so much with liability and comp only.

Dude... just tape the lights. If it hits the pavement you're going to total it' date=' anyway. [/quote']

Maybe, but it'd still be nice to have some decent used parts to sell if that's the case, instead of posting ads for cracked headlight bezels, or rashed signals.

It'll be OK. Pauly puts his $0.02 in on here all the time. Just grab it then.

What about turns?

I don't see what's wrong w/ some lateral float? You probably want some of that designed in so the front sprocket will end of in a "position of least resistance" relative to the chain and rear sprocket.

The OP said the inner part of the sprocket fits on the splines without play so there's no vertical movement, but I have a feeling the outer will true itself laterally after a run down the road. I'm assuming it can only move laterally in the strictest sense, no yaw or twisting in the sprocket.

Shimming it won't hurt it if you want a "belt and suspenders" approach, but I don't think leaving it float on the spline is going to hurt either.

I'm not a motorcycle tech though and I've never changed my sprockets. I'm waiting to see what Tom comes up with as the right answer.

It makes me very sad people are still bumping this thread.

Bump.

Pretty sure it was green metallic. I remember seeing it on Cleveland CL. Some guy named Brian was interested in it.

Thx Jeff. You're good people. I might take you up on that.

I think most of it is really me taking the time to take parts OFF of it for the track. I'm just lazy. I want to take the signals off, mirrors off, the headlights out, the tail lights out and just put tape over the holes where those parts go, then tape of the harness connectors where they plug. That way if something happens, I don't have to replace the lighting.

I'd like to safety wire it eventually just for safety shits and giggles, but I'm too unmotivated to buy the equipment and take the time to do that too.

I was considering it ... I'm pissed I only did two trackdays last year. But I also need to prep the SV.

Thanks for the tip on the discount! r1crusher and I are headed down for the June 6th day. Can't wait to get back on there! Ran MidOH back in 2007 with STT (Novice) in and out of thunderstorms. Hopefully we'll have better weather this year.

You guys only have a 2-rail don't you? *sadface*

I heard he dumped his last Harley too, trying to shake paint. It went everywhere. He sold it as a "custom Screaming Eagle" paint job and made bank on it.
