I didn't realize it was that long ago for exterior walls. If a run is longer than a certain distance (30' for example) then recirculation is required. That one I know for sure because a friend built a house a few years ago and he was the one that told me about it.

Just going off the top of my head. 2x6 exterior walls instead of 2x4. Insulation for those walls. Attics I believe now require r60. HRV systems. Copper wire is at retarded prices. AFCI and GFCI pretty much everywhere now. Hardwired smoke detectors with flashing lights. Recirculating pump and...

That's how it should be. Putting $30 outlets and $100 useless pain in the @ss breakers all over the place is nonsense.

I've become firmly of the opinion that anyone wishing to buy tools needs to pass some kind of aptitude test first. I can't just run out and buy pharmaceuticals because I have no clue how to use them, the same should apply for ratchets and sockets.

I bought a bike from them about 6 weeks ago. They were pretty forthcoming about everything.

Instead of cotton which just holds sweat, why not get actual under suit base layers? I just bought some Spidi under garments and walking around the house in them to test the sizing actually made me feel colder (and look spectacular).

Does 2.5 hrs of f#%&ing shovelling count?

The changes in both age and body position are unreal. The guys looked old even back then compared to the kids racing now that look like they still get milk mustaches. Body position looks more like green group track day riders than national racers. Pretty amazing.

Makes defending the police seem reasonable, doesn't it? We won't do anything to protect you, and we'll make sure you don't do anything to protect yourself either.

Slipper clutch, new helmet for racing.

Grandpa Mike, relax, your heart can't take the stress. It was a joke, and a decent one at that! We need to make sure your milk is actually warm before bed tonight.

All I can picture is Grandpa Simpson going off about change. More young people need to get into motorcycles. It's almost painful listening to all you broken hip, geriatric mofo's complain about advancement.

They need to get unto the small bike segment. Imagine with me if you will: <500cc triple engine Good frame Good swingarm Usd forks with radial mount single caliper to minimize rotational mass. Decent enough electronics package (optional quickshifter/blipper prewired) Budget everything else...

Make speed limits superficially low, collect money. When society follows the rules and no more money comes in, 'think of the children' and make the limits even lower to collect more money. Stop signs are stupid. A yield sign is completely adequate. Stop if you need to, don't if you don't.

Is the bleed nipple on the rear caliper oriented in such a manner that air won't get trapped somewhere in the caliper? There's a chance you'll have to remove the caliper and hold it in a position that actually allows you to evacuate trapped air. Or maybe your rear master is $#!+.

The superficially low speed limit is 70, which means in an average car, the limit should be probably 95. Now raise that because it's a supercar that handles well and you're at probably about 110. Really, the person was only speeding by 20km/h.

Yeah I read it, and the only real overlap was where I agreed you were wrong, not sure what more you want from me. In all seriousness, not everyone wants a $20k bike to START riding track. You can probably pick up a well setup sv650 for under $4k with everything needed as a package...

You're completely right, you are about to get criticism. 1. Cost. You can generally sell a track bike for what you paid after using it. 2. I'm by no stretch of the imagination a fast racer and I crashed a couple weekends ago because the bike's suspension was setup for my son's weight. I...

As far as mods are concerned, start with suspension or clipons/rearsets. The clipons/rearsets are to make the bike more comfortable for you, and cheaper when you crash. Suspension mods are expensive, but worth it. Keeping your tires in contact with the asphalt is precisely what you want...

I completely agree with either the sub500 class (ninja 400, r3), or an sv650. Take your size into consideration when choosing. Under 150lbs, R3. 150lbs ->190lbs, Ninja400. North of 190lbs, either an sv650 or an exercise bike. Don't worry about being slow, what's way worse is when you become...
