  1. Good ideas... I am also starting to think that I need to reset this thing to clear out the memory. Thanks for the help.
  2. I'm trying not to be an ass, but many of you are telling me to look at the web site. How would I get the info to set the thing, if I didn't look at the web site? It's kind of insulting, but I appreciate your efforts.
  3. Wish I would have heard about this earlier. I had nothing to do. I ended up watching a movie.
  4. Anyone know what program you use to log with a BlackBerry? I'll do it today.
  5. Also, if I adjust it from what the speedometer reads as to what the actual speed is... Do I do that from the settings now or do I have to reset the settings and find what the difference is?
  6. I've been trying to set it by using the method of -1/0 gearing for calibrating. Apparently that isn't working correctly. Many of you are saying I should use a GPS to find the actual speed. The only problem is that I don't have a GPS that I can set up on my bike. The only one that I have is my phone and I have no where to put it. Would that be the best way of calibrating it? If so, I'd need to find a GPS that I can use.
  7. Well, I was offered an IT position... So I guess I'm back in the IT field.
  8. I've only had minor tank slappers. I've witnessed a major one. The guy in front of me hit the edge of a pot hole and he really couldn't do crap. Once he came out of it, he was still holding on and the bike kept going straight and on course. From the looks of how violent and quick his was, I don't think there is any way in hell that he could throttle or brake quick enough to do anything. To combat this, I bought a damper. Haven't had an opportunity to test it out though, thank goodness.
  9. Ok, I've set my speed-o-healer like 10 times and I'm still not getting the correct mph. (I've had this problem since I got the bike and just now trying to fix it) I'm almost wanting to put the stock front sprocket back on and take the speed-o-healer off. It said I was doing 55 and the radar unit on the side of the road said I was doing 45. When you get into higher speeds, the difference becomes larger. Tonight it said I was doing 80mph when I was probably only doing 65-70mph. Does anyone have any ideas?
  10. I've always wondered that myself.
  11. My stories with MRE bombs aren't all that exciting. I'm leaving this Sunday with my unit. We'll see if any good stories come out of it.
  12. You should read up on the Vietnam war and what they were doing to us. They were playing dirty, but the media was there to make sure we were playing by the books. They didn't cover what the Vietkongs were doing to us. When they are setting dirty traps for our troops left and right, what do you do? How many thousands of people have to die before we decide that we need to change our approach on things? That's another thing... We are so damn worried about being the better person, that we lose track of what we are doing. If we see someone with a gun, instead of shooting, we have to get shot before we can shoot at them. In the states, if a LEO sees someone with a guy (out of the holster and in someone's hand) he legally has the right to stop that threat. In the military arena, if someone has a guy and is holding it, you cannot shoot. Even if he shoots at you you cannot shoot back. (Reference the pirate hijacking) Politics and "being the better man." Like I said before, at what point do we have to stop being the better guy and start taking care of business? The difference between waterboarding and tortue is kind of like the difference between using a taser vs an ASP. After the guy has been tased, there is no damage to him, other than where the probes went in. As with using an ASP, there is going to be some serious damage afterwards. Both are on the same scale on the use of force continium.
  13. I believe that waterboarding works, no matter what Jesse Ventura says. If the guy was going to lie, wouldn't he spare the expense of going through waterboarding and just lie up front?
  14. Welcome to the site. Look forward to meeting you at one of the rides or meets.
  15. How much of a PITA is it to get the plastics off to work on the bike?
  16. I see a new exhaust and a sticker. Congrats on the new bike.
  17. I'm leaving this Sunday for 2 weeks. Once I get back, I'll be wanting to hit up some of these rides.
  18. We've been wanting to go camping as well. I'll be looking into this. Awesome thread.
  19. This is a funny thread.
