I could have gone with my buddy and his girlfriend but I've got a financial accounting exam tomorrow afternoon, and about 6+ hours of studying to go X-( I can't wait to go to a dime-a-dog night next season when it's warm out. I've heard good things about crew games

...really? I even did a search for several variants on it and found nothing. Sorry

Ignore the crap out of this thread. Hard. Sorry about the repost Delete plz?

Ah, that kind. Pretty much the only one I'm interested in is the R&G one as it is pretty much ready to go out of the box; no extra lights or signals needed. I hate my fender, but I've got lotsa other stuff that demand funding before I drop coin on making a bit of plastic go away for cosmetic reasons Check the ninja650r.com forums though, someone there might be interested. Also, if you havn't been there, the 650r.com forums have a sister site for the 14; ninjazx14.com. Pretty good info there; I lurk when I'm fantasizing about buying a new bike.

On a Harley, sure, that's what they mean. My tassels are only on there to add flair and style...and to give the ones on my nipples company on long rides (I don't actually have tassels)

Wow, I was expecting more like low-3,000! I've been toying with the thought of selling mine next year and getting something bigger, and I've really only been hoping to get 4 grand for it. How much are you asking for the fender elim, and what brand is it? Also, while we're on the topic of 14's, am I the only one who thinks that this is extremely hot? (Huge pic, hence the link) Removing the lowers has a really...slimming effect. I know that at speed the bottoms of the uppers would probably vibrate like mad, but if someone made a lower fairing deletion kit that took care of those holes and reinforced the fairings...that would be the first thing on my to-do list after buying a 14. Well, after removing the flies.

How much did they give you on trade for the 650? Not that I'm interested in an upgrade any time soon or anything...

Yeah, "Things That You Can Say To Get Stabbed In A Biker Bar" for $500, Alex.

It just makes M*ch*g*n weekend that much sweeter

I loved the Storm and was going to get one once my current contract ran out until... ...I realized that it HAS NO GODDAMN WI-FI! How is that even remotely imaginable? 3g is SLOW. I don't give two shits about what the commercials say; 3g is slow. Yes, it's faster than other wireless data networks, but when you put it up against any normal 802.11b/g/n wi-fi, it is slow as hell. I want a phone that uses 3g as a backup when there is no wi-fi around. This is exactly why if I were to buy a smartphone, I'd go with the iPhone. As much as I hate apple and that smug douchebag Steve Jobs, I have to admit that the iPhone is still the only smartphone out there that does everything. The other phones are all missing features The G1 is the next best thing, but T-Mobile is terrible. Stick it on Verizon and I'll buy one on launch day, but until then...*tear* /rant (I discuss smartphones ALL THE TIME with my roommate beacause he is completely addicted to gadgets and tech toys. I've been bitching about the Storm for days ever since I found out about the wi-fi garbage)

Welcome! Don't mind Fonzie; just because his sig and avatar suck doesn't mean he's a bad guy

I'd still be out there, but my bike is in the garage now because of the "now or never"-ness of that really nice weekend about a week ago... Ride it home in the warm or wait until its snowing in December :\

Harbinger67 on XBL...but I canceled live a few months ago and haven't turned the system on in weeks. Harb67 on Playstation Network. PS3

Does Honda Northwest have a website? Googling gives me http://www.ohiomotorcycle.com/, is that it?

OOO! Finally, I get to ask a question that's been on my mind for a while! Dear Casper, WHY DID YOU NOT FEEL UP CHRISTINA RICCI BACK IN 1995!??! Signed, Everyone who saw that goddamn movie

Oh my god some of these are hysterical. http://columbus.craigslist.org/ers/911243338.html

winter

Wait, what? Iron Pony is going to become a dealer?

Getting CoD4 and not playing online is heresy. I hated the game single player; I bought it, played it for about 3 hours, and put it down for about 2 months. One day I figured I would try the multiplayer, and became addicted for the majority of the 07/08 winter.

Psh, keep the 650 and enjoy your good gas mileage and handling

I want to go pick up GoW2, but it's a really bad idea for me right now I've still got Fallout 3, LittleBIGPlanet, Far Cry 2, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3, Dead Space, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky, and Guitar Hero: World Tour to play through. And I've gotta keep up with my classes X-( I'll grab GoW2 over Thanksgiving weekend probably. I'll likely be sprinting out of the house to the nearest retailer to pick up Mirror's Edge though. I must have played the demo for that 10 times now...what an amazing game. Q4 '08 has been an amazing time for video games

Mine's going in the garage this weekend. I'm making the trip home now while the weather is still decent because I'd rather not risk having the snow sneak up on me and have to make the trip looking like a very fast Frosty the Snowman. I made that mistake last year; high-end ski jacket + 2 long-sleeved shirts + fleece pullover, 2 pairs long underwear + pajama pants + waterproof hockey warmup pants, 3 pairs socks + hiking boots, ski gloves and balacavala and I was STILL freezing my ass off.

Happy birthday!

60c is way too high, especially at idle. I'm running an 800 mhz overclock (e8500 @ 4009 mhz) and I rarely ever crest 50c on either core under heavy load. Either there is a ton of dust buildup (which is a possibility depending on how much time you spend on the dorms, they're a dust bowl), or the fan bearings are on their last leg. Google for disasembly pictures/instructions for your laptop to get an idea of how complicated it may or may not be. Reseating a heatsink with fresh paste isn't a difficult proposition, but I rarely venture into laptop land so I can't say for certain. I doubt your paste is going bad though. Easiest fix would be just check what kind of fan you need, buy it off of Newegg or something, and install it yourself. Computers really aren't nearly as scary inside as most people make them out to be. Hell, I feel more comfortable working on the guts of my PC than I do on the guts of my bike. Quick note though; watch youself with the compressed air. Get too ambitious with it and you could have a much bigger mess on your hands. I had the stock fan on my Radeon x1800xt grenade on me over the summer when I got a bit too enthusiastic with my air compressor (goddamn dorm dust buildup...). It's fine to use it in bursts, but don't just go nuts and spin any fans up too fast for too long.

"Reached Monday by phone, Stephen Allen, 48, of Perris, said: "Was he doing high-speed turns? Yes. Did he pop a wheelie? He might have. Were there single tracks with burnout? No. When I saw the tire marks, I saw no sign of high-speed stunts." What a tool. A burnout is a decidedly LOW speed stunt. You start the stunt at...NO miles per hour. A wheelie is typically done AT speed. This douchebag lost his son to a stupid decision on both their parts, and he's splitting hairs to save face. Fucking tool.
