I played with one of these for a week when it first came out. it seemed to be a solid tablet but at that price point ($499 with a contract) was out of my range. At $260 with NO contract it is in my range. I would use it for WiFi only. But I have concerns about NOT being able to upgrade the OS to the newest versions. I hear "Honeycomb" is the shit for tablets and no one has been able to get it to run on this device. Anyone have any thoughts on this? www.woot.com

Posted this on craigslist. http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/2396954810.html $175 to my ORDN Friends. Thanks. Bill.

Thoughts and prayers going out for the family and friends.

Frontier. Was acquired from Verizon about two years ago. I live in the sticks and its all I can get. I just recently got upgraded to 3 meg down and 768k up (from 768k down and 128k up) I feel like I am shitting in tall cotton now. I can stream Netflix in HD and my direct TV on demand is in HD as well!! W00T!!!

a bit of both!

I wrote a paper in college on the legalization of marijuana. if it were regulated and taxed the same as tobacco, the national debt could be eradicated in four to five years. There were facts to back this and I found them at that time, but damned if I can find any of that stuff now. *This was cough-twentyoneyearsago-cough*

I am glad I was able to make it out for this today. Good turnout as well I think. I didn't know Garrett personally but judging by the number of people that turned out, He touched a lot of lives. Bill.

I had a fog city insert for all of last riding season. Worked perfectly. when i went to clean it this year i forgot that it scratches EASILY and ruined it. pealed it off and now I am back to foggin up bad. I want to pick up a new helmet and what ever i decide on getting, it will have the pinlock system. Same principal as the fog city, just easier to replace.

I will try and make it out. Cant say I will be there for sure, it will depend on the workload I get hit with tomorrow morning.

Just released the name and age of the rider. http://www.10tv.com/live/content/local/stories/2011/05/05/story-columbus-fatal-motorcycle-crash-freeway-ramp.html?sid=102

Quoted for Truth!!!

After waking the Vulcan up from it's long winter's nap, I noticed the dust seals on the front forks are cracked. I do not see any fluid so I think the fork seals themselves are ok, it just appears to be the dust seals. It is an '07 with just under 4000 miles. I just bought it in August and dont recall seeing this when I put her in storage in early november. First thing, is this something easy enough for a do it yourselfer? I change my own oil, plugs, and such. Secondly, should I go ahead and replace the seals in the process? Thirdly, would storing the bike in an un-heated barn be the culprit here? Anything else I should check? Thanks in advance!! Bill.

you punks are killing me! Get a hair cut ya hippies!!

you beat me to it!!!

Just a friendly reminder that the state sponsored MSF motorcycle training courses are open for registration starting today. https://www.dps.state.oh.us/MOScheduling/ There are already seats being filled. Get 'em while they are still there!! I took the BRC course a few years back and it was Well worth it. I took the ERC course last year and it was so so. it rained on us the entire day so that may have had something to do with it too. Bill.

What Casper said. I think its the earliest one they made. I only paired it to my Blackberry and took a few calls. Never tried it with another headset. The website says it is compatible with connecting to others. Not sure if the difference in models would make a difference or not. Bill.

Before you drop $50 on that parrot, i have a Scala rider that I will sell for $40. It's only been used a couple times. It works well. Its just not something I want to do while riding. I bought it from Casper for $40 last year. I work in Columbus and live in Radnor. Let me know if you are intested. if you search for it I am sure you can find the thread that talked about it. FYI I tried to send you a PM but your PM box is full. Bill.

where did you get that fairing?

ftw!!!

Anybody else watch the US version of Top Gear on the History channel Sunday night? i watched it on the DVR last night and all I can say is meh. I am a huge fan of the UK version of the show. the camaraderie that James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond have is so much better than these three bozos. The Cobra vs. Viper segment was neat but it was just not what it could have been. the Lambo segment was interesting but there is something missing. I will give it another go for a week or two, but I don’t see this doing anywhere near as well as the original. Anyhow, that’s just my two cents. Thanks, Bill

Talked to a bunch of great people on here. Only met one of them in person before. It was outside of a chinese restaraunt, in the rain, I was buying a headset. That sounds odd. But on this forum it proabably happens more often than not! count me in!
