    Bus Monitor in tears due to some 12 yr old punks .. ( gone viral)

    I can't say I agree with you. Not totally anyway. Kids need to be resistant to peer pressure and stand on their own two feet and conviction of knowing what is right from wrong. There is a small part of me though that feels at least one of those kids is enduring a mental pain and is lashing...

    Removing spark plugs

    Cool. I recommend loosening and retightening once a year. Good to know about the lean run condition. Best reason to get 'em out.

    Dallas sheriff makes up charge against biker on Memorial Day [video]

    Well, I looked at it again. He didn't lane split, but was lane split upon, and because it seemed like he was ok with it more than once, does tend to place him with the rest. His plate, while not stock, was plainly visible. That is very weak. And how can you say he didn't signal a lane change...

    Moral dilema

    In threads such as this, it is usually assumed that the OP is being honest about things described. That's the only way any post after can have any merit one way or the other whatsoever. So with that in mind.. OTOH, you are not allowing at all, that I'm sure Red has already paid numerous times...

    Dallas sheriff makes up charge against biker on Memorial Day [video]

    I'd be curious to know more about this crystal ball and the apparent ability to read it, you seem to have. FYI, a guy who rides at the end of a pack with a helmet cam is more likely to be a techno geek than a ****-disturbing hooligan. I think the guy was genuinely shocked that the cop was...

    Moral dilema

    ^ "tell him you want 3 quotes from 3 diff people and you will personally pay the shop to do it, not hand him $800." very good advice. The price penalty will help you appreciate how lucky you were that no child was there when the rub happened. Seems a shame that someone there keeps inviting...

    Moral dilema

    So...he's a piece of lowest life trash. A user and an abuser. It you decide to hit him with your car, be smart about it. Timing, location location.. I won't tell.

    Where can girlfriend try riding a few 250s in Toronto?

    You..I know you're trying to just be the helpful (but practical) BF..so...read this to her. You say you want to try a bunch of (tall, powerful, sport type bikes) to see if you like it or not. Well you must have some idea whether or not riding is for you or you wouldn't have predetermined the...

    Weedman woes.

    "They tell me they'll cancel the contract again but I still have to pay the bill or it gets sent to collections and goes on my credit report. I find a pesticide sign and 2 more bills in my mailbox today. Now I'm ****ing seething. I call again and get the same bs. It's on your file but you...

    Used Bike Wheels Give Less Mileage Than New Tires? (1/4th Inch Difference)

    It doesn't! I thought it was fairly obvious..the difference is not actual. The difference is only indicated because you are using an instrument (the odometer) that relies on a constantly variable quotient (tire wear). That's also why I suggested using a GPS, because the results don't lie. This...

    if you are a mech engineer does it mean...

    Yup, a good reason to have kids, lol Years ago, I was helping a friend install a wind deflector on top of the roof of his big truck. We needed to access an inside part of the roof that we couldn't reach which happened to be above one of the tool boxes. He asked his 8 year old daughter if she...

    what will steve jobs' son become?

    Possibly..but more importantly he might have to deal with some pretty serious health ramifications due to having his Dad's genes. If Mom has cancer in her family, he's at even greater risk. What's that old adage..money ain't everything?

    if you are a mech engineer does it mean...

    A mechanical engineer with small but strong hands and fingers, can usually fix more stuff, easier, than one like myself with large hands. You've really got it made if you have a kid who listens well, has aptitude and dexterity to be discovered, at your disposal. Especially if their homework is...

    if you are a mech engineer does it mean...

    In the majority of cases, this worked because it jarred a circuit board that has a lose pin whose solder joint has been compromised. Usually due to expansion and contraction of temp changes over the years on a solder joint that didn't have quite enough heat for a proper bond when being mfg'd...

    For those who kept questioning the power/dominance of the BMW S1000RR, please read

    IMO, any engine that has an exaggerated over-square displacement, combined with shallow piston skirts in an effort to reduce weight for greater piston speed etc, and one that is designed to burn a pile of fuel on demand for big output, also is longevity disadvantaged over an engine built with a...

    Removing spark plugs

    I know I said earlier that you could be winding the plug out with the threads and by the time u find out, it's too late..but I thought I should elaborate on that. Fact is, there is a pretty good clue that the threads might be coming with it, if when it does move, that it has quite noticeable...

    Removing spark plugs

    Never try to remove plugs on a hot aluminum head. Many a hot head has offered up its plug threads right along with the plug, and you don't realize it's happened until you get it out and it's too late. Expensive hard learned lesson. I have bought a used bike (more than once) and found out I...
