    Citicards raising APR for almost all cards to 29.9%

    Apparently Citicards has sent out mass mailings to card holders saying they're raising APR rates to 29.9% on December 20, 2009 or you can opt out which means you have to close your account. I hate credit cards, and don't like using them, but I know a lot of people need them. Merry Christmas.

    Does anyone have a crap rear tire that I can have? I want to use it for a mold to make a rear fender for a project bike, the wider the better. I'll be in SF tomorrow and can pick it up, or in Berkeley or Oakland. Thanks!

    1983 CB550SC Spark then no spark...

    CB550SC Plug Wire Order at Coils

    I can't seem to find what order the plug wires on the coils should be going out. I found a post on the WWW that said 1 and 3, 2 and 4. I'm guessing that is top to bottom on the coils, and left to right on the cylinders? Anyone know if that is correct?

    '83 550 Nighthawk Bad Clutch MC

    The clutch master cylinder is friend, and I'm trying to figure out what if any modern bike hydraulic clutches would mate up to what I have, and if it would involve running new lines, etc? The plan is to replace the front end with that of a sport bike, so it would make sense to get the whole...
