    Selling my 749... need a little advice

    Mods, if this belongs in General, then please move it. So I own a 2003 Ducati 749 and it's time to sell. I bought her new from then Ducati Triumph Yamaha of Marin on Valentine's Day 2004 and I put every one of her 30K miles on her. She was my daily driver and she's been serviced at...

    Texting while riding

    I was going to put it in the Sink, but damned if it isn't actually moto-related. The comments are pretty good too. Hope it's not a repost, but if so, then:twofinger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So2rZOeRLvU

    1973 VW Superbeetle, a bargain at $2400

    Hundred bucks off for barfers. I'm already going cheaper than I'd like and it's one of the best running Supers out there, just a little rough around the edges. Getting a good tax refund? Awesome! I'm not so how about you gimme yours? And I promise to remove this ad when I take the CL one...

    I humble myself before BARF for some laptop/netbook purchase advice

    I know nothing. I'm lucky to have a job where I scan and email one document per night on the boat and the rest of the time I drive. I like computers but I know little about manufacturers or processors or PC operating systems and because of this I own a mac. One button and it does what I want...

    How to mark a newborn baby?

    I know you all can help me with this very important question. My best friend has a baby coming on Labor Day, and his girl, my girl, and my mom were just discussing how important it is that we put an identifying mark on the baby to make sure there are no mix-ups. That means that ChocolateFace33...

    Reverse lookup on a cell phone - anybody know a site?

    I know I saw it on here a while back, but alas the sink is unsearchable... It's a contact from work who called me and I can't remember his name to save my life. Any help appreciated. And I already googled it.

    Doing my homework: researching the KTM 690 Supermoto

    I'm planning to jump on the supermoto bandwagon this spring when the new models are out, and I'm leaning heavily toward the KTM 690 Supermoto. I know there's going to be a significant markup for the '09s, but the bike speaks to me for some reason, kinda like the 749 did. 95% of my riding will...

    Quick Question: (About HDTV)

    While I was away on my boat, Comcast came over and installed our new cable box to go with our HD TV and service. I see that now the component#1 slot, which is our cable receiver has a 5-wire setup installed, where before we had the regular 3-wire RCA inputs. Is this what we need for 1080p? I...

    So I got married last weekend:

    Apologize if it's a repost, but it's only about three weeks old. My shipmate here just showed me this on another forum and I felt I had to share: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f7/i-got-married-last-weekend-pics-877461/

    Some advice on a new HDTV, please

    The wife has put me in charge of picking out our new TV, and I guess she thinks I know about these things but I don't. Just because I watch a lot of it... The spot for the TV is 36" wide by 27" tall, so that's a 45" diagonal. Is that still how sets are measured? A 42" tv would be that far...

    Going to Hawaii - Maui vs. Oahu?

    So I'm getting married in the fall and I'm taking my lady to Hawaii for the honeymoon. I've been to the Islands a dozen times but each time it was only for a day or so and I was working on ships. (I worked on the C&H sugar ship, great job). I'm looking at hotels on Trip Advisor and it seems...

    Did-it-ourself paintjob - Ducati 749

    I've been meaning to do this for a while, but cash has been tight. I'd been running a mix of race-fairings and factory plastics for a couple of years, was pretty happy with it, but I alway had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to get my baby back to a cohesive, good-looking paint scheme...

    two girls one cup

    I need a little help from the sicker folks on here. I'm on a tug boat and need to show this dirty old chief mate something terrible, but they've moved the video. Anyone know where to find the original now?:twofinger

    Doing a paintjob - help me decide

    So I had a really sweet custom paintjob a few years ago, laid the bike down on a patch of oil (daily driver, these things happen) and I've been using a set of borrowed race-plastics for the last year or so. Now a friend of mine has set up a paint shop in his garage and done a few bikes (they...

    What to do? Crash yesterday afternoon in SF

    Mods - Please move to General if more appropriate Yesterday at about 5pm my friend was riding down 25th Avenue, Southbound, when a car going the opposite direction made an illegal left turn at the intersection at Fulton St. He had been riding in the left third of the curb lane (it's two lanes...

    great crash pics

    My friend will surely appreciate my posting these. He spaced out a few blocks from home and when the minivan in front of him stopped for ducks crossing the road, he grabbed the brake just long enough before impact to load the front and lift the rear and get his tire under the bumper. The...

    20,000 miles on my 749

    Lucille rolled 20,000 miles this weekend and the only problem I've had so far was a leaky master cylinder on the clutch side at 15,000 (knock knock knock). She's not the most practical grocery-getter, but she's been my only ride since I bought her new on Valentine's Day 2004. And I'm at sea...
