    Listen to your Little Voice

    you know. the one that tells you to chill out, don't romp the throttle or drag knee. Was coming back from the Wall this afternoon on Alhambra Valley, just got past the 'shady section'... the little voice is saying, chill out chill out, you never know... then I came around a blind corner and...

    Calling All Pit Bull Superheroes!

    I need to find someone willing to rescue an ABANDONED dog. One of the residents in our apartment complex got evicted, and they left their 8 month pit bull/ black lab mix behind. He's a friendly dog, but based on the way he was treated, probably needs to have some really caring and...

    Soundtrack for a sport-tour trip?

    I'm one of those wierd people, always wanting to 'replay' travel or riding or whatnot to music, even if I didn't have any when I was actually doing it. But Dire Straits "Telegraph Road" came on ye old internet radio... and I was thinking, damn, I may have to use that to score the second day...

    Goddamn Hydraulic Clutch...

    Nrggh. The damn thing won't disengage all the way! Lever goes all the way to the grip without the usual 'disengage' feel, and the only way I can keep the bike from stalling out at stoplights is to stand on the rear brake and rev the shit out of the motor. Also shifts REALLY hard, I can do...

    it's alive... It's ALIVE!!!

    :devil :laughing :devil :laughing FINALLY got the shims and such that I needed, and so got the bike back together... and she fired up! After sitting for six months, she kinda had to cough out some cobwebs but is purring like a kitten. Shift linkage needs adjusting (didn't quite line it up...

    Inner Diameter (axle): 0.670" Outer Diameter: 1.360" (this doesn't matter that much, but is what my other shims are) Thickness: 0.250" Material: aluminum roundbar will do fine First BARFer to PM me with a cost estimate and reasonable delivery date will get the job. Paypal is preferred...

    Thoughts on a Newbie Bike

    well, as a lot of you know, my ride has been up on blocks for awhile, awaiting a part to be machined - hopefully that'll be soon, as I've got someone working on milling it out for me. So, today I borrowed a bike from a co-worker, a Suzuki Savage 650 that he bought for his wife to learn to...

    LEO Section

    Considering the amount of "i can't take the time to read the whole thread" posts... I'm thinking an "Ask the LEO's" section under General would be appropriate. Nominate silversvs, brash47 as moderators... also section should be searchable. :D

    Pashnit binned it, but he's OK

    Seems that Tim (Pashnit) laid his Busa on the road this AM headed up 9. Have NO details on the accident itself, other than: A) Tim's OK, but the bird is down for awhile, cracked case cover meant oil leaked out onto the road, plus the mirrors and the levers went airborne (and apparently one...

    Should goat trail roads be paved?

    Serious question here, folks. Does it make sense to actually pave roads such as Mines? We've seen what happens when you put fast traffic on a road full of blind corners, no guardrails, and no centerline. Seems to me that if this were still a gravel road, two things would happen: A) There'd...

    Freedom Force vs the Third Reich

    damn this game is fun. short tho. it plays like an expansion on the first Freedom Force game, rather than a sequel. but, they did a LOT of work prettying up the game, ironing out some of the gameplay/control issues, and generally expanding it to take advantage of late-model processors and...

    Damn, now I need a new Mobo

    Well, you'd think that with all the reading, all the war stories, all the BS surrounding SP2, I'd have been able to see a problem coming and deal with it. Nope. It hosed up a critical file (winsrv) and now the computer gets a BSOD on boot-up. Won't even start in safe mode. Plus, because...

    need a custom spacer/bushing for rear wheel!

    Mrrfl. OK, I promise not to go off on a rant about how swapping out wheels on your bike for ones from a different year/model can have unforeseen consequences. The short version is, keep things stock if you can. ;) That said... I need to replace a spacer that went on walkabout when I last...

    Any agnostics wanting to form a ... oh never mind, we'd never admit to anything!

    (in case you hadn't noticed, these 'denominational' bike club threads really don't make much sense. The concept is sound... but people devolve them into the usual 'holy war' type flamefest.)

    It's Budbandit versus the PC Police!!

    (hah. Made you look.) Seriously though... how many of us really take offense at anything Jason posts? Raise your right hand if this is you. Now, of those, how many resort to outright insults or one-line 'this post sucks' dismissals? Raise your left hand if this is you. Good. (All...
