As an update to this...I had my court date today. I'm pleased to say that the charges were withdrawn, even with the officer present. I spoke to the prosecutor and showed her the an itemized phone bill showing no phone calls made or received over two hours prior and over an hour after the...

Just drove by this on the back to our shop; black SS and a southbound dump truck making a left. Doesn't look like there too much damage to the bike and somebody had stood it up already. Hoping the rider is ok. GWS

What? Please tell me you're joking. Like somebody mentioned, this is not a weekend project. This is major structural work. When you put in a walk-out, you lower the frost line to four feet below the door sill. This is not just cutting a hole and putting in a door. You have to dig down four...

Read carefully: There is a whole other section that deals with oncoming traffic, but that whole section is specific to vehicles travelling in the same direction. That's probably why the heading of the section is called: Passing vehicle going in same direction Subsection a) makes reference...

FYI: There's a HUGE difference between: "Over 300 people have died in car accidents where the airbag didn't deploy" and "Over 300 people have died in car accidents because the airbag didn't deploy" Who's to say the airbag would have saved any of those people anyway ? Who's to say it was a...

That sounds almost exactly like a sound I had on my audi for a while. It was a muffler hanger that had cracked, when it was at certain RPM's the exhaust would start vibrating up against the other half of the hanger that was still in the rubber piece attached to the car. I don't think the sound...

Well, your point is wrong. We all have our own opinions, but opinions don't change fact. Fact is everyone is taught the same thing; look, signal, look, change. Situations like this are the reason that is important enough to warrant being taught to new drivers. If you look and see a headlight at...

No, obviously the car driver couldn't have telepathically known the closing speed of the motorcycle. He COULD have known the closing speed of the motorcycle if he had done what every single driver in the world is taught to do. Shoulder check, signal, SECOND SHOULDER CHECK, lane change. Had...

Well, I got the letter. Going to meet with the prosecutor on the 19th. My plan is to say straight up that I was scratching my ear, the cop puled me over and said I was talking. I'll say that if I'm forced to take this to trial I will be requesting disclosure and will be requesting the video and...

Do you really think somebody would do that ? Just come on the internet and lie.... Serious though, that's actually what happened, that's why I'm super ******. I hate this law and think it's utter ********, I use my phone all the time while driving. I know the consequences and if I had actually...

I was driving home the other day on Weston south of Teston and I reached with my right hand to scratch my right ear; wouldn't you know it that just as I did this I passed a cruiser coming out of a side street. Next thing I know, I'm getting pulled over. The cop tells me he pulled me over...

Re: Talk about lane splitting, this guy is outta his F***ing mind!! Yup, reading over it again, I see exactly what you mean; my statement doesn't really convey the point I was trying to get across very well.

Problem is that those mileage numbers are going to be way off. Those bikes all had the speedometers disconnected; now, I may not be a mechanic, but common sense tells me that if the speedo doesn't register, neither will the odometer.

Re: Talk about lane splitting, this guy is outta his F***ing mind!! If you watch carefully, and if you actually understand Portuguese and you realize what the normal behavior of traffic in Brazil is like, you soon realize that's he's actually a reasonably safe dude; comparatively speaking of...

See if you can still fin a Western Digital Mybook Live in stores. The 3TB goes for around $200. I have one and I installed Transmission and an NZB downloader on it. You can actually install a bunch of software on it through a GUI installer. I also have an Open VPN server running on it as well as...
