    Pocketbike fatality

    There's been a kid riding up and down the streets here the last couple of days on one of those things. I'm amazed the cops havn't nailed him yet. Probably can't catch him ... the little sucker seems to go pretty good.

    What would you do in this situation

    That sucks man. Try to help out a friend and get screwed. I had just started a new job when a younger fellow who was hired after me hit me up for 20 bucks. He told me a sob story about the baby needing milk. He was kind of a punker dude so I thought it was all bs. On pay day he was up front and...

    Clumsy F**king Mechanics!!

    My busa was delivered with a cross threaded and siezed fairing screw and a couple were missing. They supplied the screws but I fixed the bleeped up one myself. The fairings are pretty easy to scratch in a busy shop environment. Better to take them off yourself.

    Skype Technologies

    There is a plethora of these programs. Skype is good and you can call landlines too. I hate the nicnames. I've used Firefly with great success. They give you a phone number. Hawaii to Canada was crystal clear with no lag. That was puter to puter. Google talk is the latest and greatest I...

    what do you sleep on?

    We have never had a comfortable bed and the last mattress/box spring was pretty pricey. Pillow top mattress on both sides. We sold it when we moved and slept on one of those 18 inch thick air mattresses. We couldn't believe how comfortable the air mattress was. Now we have a solid bottom on our...

    Harley Junk

    I've never owned a hardley either. Road one once for a short distance and was not impressed. I really do not care whether hardleys are any good or not. I do not care how much they cost. Its the attitude of many of the riders I do not like. And I do not like the open exhaust. I find myself...

    Performance busa spark plugs

    I tend to shy away from newfangled spark plugs like split fire. or gapless plugs. They tend to put more draw on the ignition system which can be detrimental.

    Which Internet Browser do you use?

    Off by One is probably the most secure of all browsers because of its obscurity. Does not require an install. Good for banking and such. Does have a problem with some websites however. Very fast. http://www.offbyone.com/

    I got my A$$ handed to me...

    My wife rides the busa ALL the time. She is staying closer and closer to me on the twisties all the time and I'm riding a 750. It won't be long till I'm trying to keep up with her!

    Difference in weights for synthetic oils

    I believe the biggest danger with bike oils is viscosity shear. Transmission and clutch add to the problem. That is why I'm leary of 5/40 and 10/40 weights. These weights are safer in synthetics of course. The less spread in viscosity the less shear is likely. 15/40, 20/40, and 20/50 should be...
