    fluid dispoasal in East Bay

    So...I've been doing a lot of stuff on my bikes and have a ton of brake fluid, solvent, and fork oil, and etc accumulated. What's the best way to dispose of them without dumping them down the sewer? Is it safe to mix fork oil with engine oil to be recycled at Kragen?

    wd 40 on wheel bearings

    I got a little frisky with wd 40 and ended up spraying directly on to the wheel bearings. I keep hearing how bad wd 40 is on these things. Should I replace them or wait until they start smoking?

    Is it stupid to put Vesrah RJL's on street/track bike?

    Are Vesrah RJL's bad for street use? I like them on the SV but I don't know if they're well-suited for a mostly street/sometime track bike.

    FHA Home Loan Question

    Anyone get one of these recently? I have some questions for anyone who has gone through the application process recently in terms of minimum cash requirements, rates, and closing costs. From what I can tell, you need minimum 3% down + closing costs. I'm assuming there are other fees involved as...

    standalone blu ray vs ps3

    I really want a blu ray player. I'm torn between PS3 and standalone. I've seen a standalone for $229-299 range but the reviews seem to indicate that PS3 has a higher quality bluray. If I'm gonna spend over $300, I might as well just get a PS3. Any thoughts?

    Wasn't it refreshing today to vote?

    I showed up to the polling station today at 8 AM and the line was about 50 minutes long. I asked the election worker if this was normal and he said "no. it's usually 3 to 4 deep. this is the biggest turnout of my lifetime." It was about 30-40 deep today. That was good to see. I was not going to...

    hedge fund shortsellers got p0wned by Porsche

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/transport/3281537/Porsche-and-VW-share-row-how-Germany-got-revenge-on-the-hedge-fund-locusts.html Interesting read. I think to some degree, hedge funds are contributing to the market turmoil. They need to be reigned in. There's a rumor that...

    Are calicos just insane?

    I adopted a Calico. I believe Calicos are just insane. Has anyone else encountered "being overly spirited and having things her way" with Calicos? The freaking cat steals kimchee off my plate and throws up everywhere. All the time. She's already famous for being "spirited" at the vet's office. I...

    Dow 5k possible?

    Man...it's so tragic that it's comical now. 3 weeks ago, I predicted to a friend of mine that Dow will hit 8k rather facetiously. Now, I'm thinking that was conservative. I think we'll hit 5k before it's all said and done. The exchange is in full panic mode with redemptions forcing a lot of...

    Why is Israel such a big deal?

    One thing I noticed from the debate was how both candidates were pussyfooting around the whole Israel topic, expressing their unwavering support for Israel. Why is that? That ain't no peace loving state. Why can't we tell Israel that US aid will end unless they're willing to put Old Jerusalem on...

    Anyone remember Goonies?

    It's on tv again and I just remembered a promise I made to myself years ago. I wanted to see the coast where Goonies was filmed. I believe it's somewhere in Oregon. Anyone know where and how it is? It was like my favorite movie growing up.

    I have to report to work but not sure where

    Ummm...I'm supposed to report to work Monday. Funny thing is...I'm not sure where to go. I'm transitioning to a new dept and no one told me where to report to Monday. Does job security entail knowing which office to report to? Good thing I'm union. :laughing

    80's S & L crisis and today's mortgage crisis

    The parallels are uncanny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savings_and_Loan_crisis Apparently, 80's S&L failure was largely the effect of RE bubble and lack of banking regulations. How come the banking industry/govt repeat the same mistakes without smartening up? I thought these people are smart.

    03 SV 650 fairing stay/bracket recommendation

    I currently have Morse but they're no longer in business and I have to bend and drill my own fairing stay arms which is a pain. Anyone have a recommendation on another brand with reasonable parts support? I've heard Vortex and Graves but I'm not sure. What do others use?
