street pilot

I say help him out as a friend. Let him live with you for cheap for a short ammount of time. tell him you dont want/need a roomy, but will let him live with you for a few months or whatever while he gets settled in and finds a place. If you like how things work out, invite him to stay longer. If not, you just pocketed some cash and helped a friend.

Thanks for the heads up. That would be great to have a trail system like CO for 4x4 vehicles exclusively. (not bikes or quads they have enough place to ride.) Wonder if I have anything good to contribute...

check the classifieds of your local (or not) papers. they run ads all the time.

LMAO! graemlins/lol.gif I agree with you. She pulled that card waaay too soon.

Agreed. There should be an age limit before you can post.

Exactly what I would guess.

Engine size all depends on the other characteristics of the bike. Gearing, weight, rpm, etc. RC-51s are a sportbike, but they have a v-twin engine. It is more torquey than screamy. A completely different beast from other inline liter bikes. Suzuki SV bikes are also v-twins. Personally out of that line, my favorite is the SV650. It is a blast to ride... very nimble, torquey, and a light front end. It looks good too. Interceptors are very nice bikes if you go with a newer one. I think the older ones are turds though. The newest model has a form of vtec (yay), linked abs brakes, and many other bells and whistles. I would toss Interceptors and SV bikes into the "sport touring" category. If I had to make a generalization, these guys are the true street enthusiasts. You see them riding in full rain gear in a storm, carving corners. You see them with their cargo bags and chatter boxes riding in groups through the mountains on their way to alaska. Very agile bikes, they could hold their own on race tracks or ride beside a goldwing on a long ass trip. I dont want to step on toes, nor am I an expert. (most of all I dont really know you ), but if you step up to a bigger bike (gsxr-750) and are not really ready for it, IMO your learning curve will flatten out and you start just trying to keep the thing tamed. If you were not riding the hell out of that 500, tossing it around and feeling confident (not over), a 750 sportbike could bite you quick. Personally I ride a 600, and I have now for 6 years. I am not ready to have anything bigger. When I feel I have mastered my bike, and can ride it at its limits I will step up. There's nothing like embarrassing squids on liter bikes with my 600. graemlins/thumb.gif Look hard at those sport touring bikes. Bottom line, try to ride something similar to what you end up getting before you buy it. (more than in a parking lot)

I dont know what kind of riding you do, but I doubt a R6 would disappoint you. (I'm partial) I read that you sat on a '00 R6, did you ride it? Any modern bike moves. How did you ride the 500? Have chicken strips? Slide the back tire around at all? Are you set on sportbikes? How about an rc-51? sv1100?

Honda Ridgeline should be interesting: http://trucks.about.com/library/graphics/06_ridgeline_sema_sml1.jpg http://automobiles.honda.com/info/prototypes/ridgeline.asp smile.gif

We have a backup pump that is both electric and battery powered. It kicks on if the water level rises above a certain point. It has proved its value a few times and counting.

safe-lite has treated me well in the past. Reasonable priced, and they will come to your place to do it.

I will keep in in mind... I used to play CAHA when I was younger.

I didnt know you could mod a PS2, but if you are getting disk read errors, this might help: http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars/1?2548

Its true.

Thats cool then, and the name makes a lot more sense. Trails West Trails Quest Fun Trail all truck places. If they sell mud tires and lift kits I am sure they will do great moving out that direction. I will have to check them out.

Mr Tint does a great job, and they use a quality film. Charged me $120 for a 2 door hatch.

I just picked up a Coleman battery booster with 315 cold cranking amps, 2 DC outlets and a 260 psi air compressor....mainly for a road trip ahead. Anyone else have one of these units? Ever use it? I am hoping I didnt just waste my money. smile.gif

Wow, thanks for all the input fellas!

WTF? graemlins/gay.gif I heard an advertisement for this new store on the radio. It sounded like a rice shop. I think I hear the catch phrase "accessorize your ride" a couple of times. Anyone else hear about this place? It is located on industrial parkway off of Rt33 (few mins out of dublin). One thing's for sure, the name BLOWS! Reminds me of a certain patch of hair.

I like it. The color especially.

looked like a fast auto-x track.

I dont know which is sexier... http://www.tiffanypics.com/galleries/melissa15/5.html

I think I found it... it was running around the whole time.
