  1. The Atom processor that those netbooks are using doesn't multi-task at all. They're great for working on web based aps, like email and web surfing, but are extremely slow at anything else. The net books have the highest customer return rate of any electronics on the market right now. If you still want to go that route, go w/ACER. You get more bang for your buck.. More RAM and larger hard drive. In regards to the hard drives not being rugged enough, I log nearly a million miles per year via plane, drive over 60k, and have yet to have an issue w/my laptop hard drive.
  2. ^ what he said. I've even had my cleaner resole a pair of shoes before.
  3. I've gone 4 days w/o drugs other than coffee and beer.

    More HD BS

    Then to Dave's point, they copied the HD VROD form to obtain their function. In all honesty, the only HD I would ever consider owning is the VROD. When I decide to pick up a touring bike it will be the BMW K1200GT or similar. Lucky for all of us the HD airheads are an endangered species (thank you EPA). I give them 5 more years before they are forced to run the Revolution engine (VROD engine) in all their models to meet EPA standards.
  5. Open trailer is your best bet, you'll get better gas mileage w/open trailer. If you go the renting route, it may be cheaper to rent one way for both legs of trip. Rent it here and drop off in never never land when you arrive, reserve now for return trip. I've used Uhaul's open trailers so many times now that the wife wants to buy a trailer.
  6. pedialite will keep you hydrated better than sport drinks.
  7. You can get a temp POA for a specific time frame and purpose. I had to do this w/the wife when we bought our house here since I was unable to sign. (arm shattered in bike accident & jaw wired shut) I would call the lien holder together and have him tell them to issue the title in your name.
  8. Post pix when you get that mounted. I lost a rear tire last year to a screw.
  9. depends on the discipline. Not all martial arts are about choreography.
  10. Thanks for the invite. I'll ride w/any bike (scooters are not bikes!). Really enjoy the sport bike crowd because they come up w/some crazy shite mods for bikes!
  11. They have a sizing chart to determine the amount of beads. I cheated and just added up the oz of wheel weights then rounded up to the next whole number. I ended up w/3oz in my 240 rear and 1 in my 120 front. When compared to their chart, I was correct in my assumption on the amount needed. Any rotating object will rotate around its center of mass. If you put a large weight on one side of the tire, the center of mass for the tire will move towards that weight,and the tire will try to rotate around that new center of mass. The result is that the ride will be rough as the tire is pounding the ground because the axle moves up and down, trying to keep the center of rotation ( which is now not the same as the center of the wheel) at a constant point. Now, if you put something inside the tire that is free to move, it will try to move to the point furthest from the center of rotation. That is because the force on the sand, golf ball, or equal is directly proportional to the radius of the rotation. This movement of the sand, or whatever will continue until the center of mass for the wheel is exactly at the center of the wheel (also known as the axle) At that point the tire is balanced until you stop and the stuff falls to the bottom of the tire. Whenever you start up, the whole balancing act resumes. If the stuff clumps, it can't move and the tire won't self balance.
  12. check out these guys---->AMSS They rebuild your seat.
  13. I would start w/ msconfig and uncheck a few items in the start up tab before you reformat the hard drive. Sounds like you just have a shit load of programs, adware, spyware running in the background eating up RAM
  14. Not to mention it's a hell of a lot easier to clean your rims if there ain't a bunch of phuq'n weights and glue residue from previous weights on your dubs
  15. I want to go. Really was hoping it would warm up again, but temps looking to be in the 20's. WOO HOO $2 beer
  16. Never tried anal beads so I'm still not sure if you say they are good or not. I wouldn't put them in a track bike, but I think their science is sound. Even when you balance your tires the conventional way they aren't balanced for all that long. The weights go opposite of the heavy spot, and since the heavy spot will always hit the road the hardest, it won't stay the heavy spot. At least w/having hundreds of these ceramic beads, they adjust as your tire wears and shifts balance points. Think it's worth checking out.
