Re: E for Effort..and an EF for Epic Fail

I don't see a problem with it. I've seen people who get sponsored to race with only a year or so riding under their belt and they weren't really any good.

Re: Have used bike prices stablized from last year or even l

Kawasaki has been aggressive at moving their bikes on the sales floor. Pricing, rebates, financing, cash incentives, etc. Used bikes are also pretty darn cheap now. I look through craigslist and find bikes that are in good shape and the asking price is very low from what I would expect at the dealer...

Re: 2010 Manual Stick Shift Cars (manual transmissions) list

My brother and I share a Mazda 3 and it has Tiptronic-like semi-auto transmission. It's great if stuck in backed up traffic and you don't want to deal with a clutch but other than that I couldn't deal with it. Going from 1st to 2nd gives me a jolt that I wouldn't get in a manual transmission. It pre...

Re: Why are Harleys cool?

Ahh, the Brits already did a nice study on the use of ABS in a magazine, either Visor Down or BIKE. All I can remember is the chart showing that ABS had the lowest braking distance compared to both brakes, front only and rear only.

Re: What did you do today...

Backpacked all weekend, woke up this morning to realize me and one of the dad's on the trip had pitched our tent in a dip :?. At least the standing water was mostly on his side :lol:. But in all seriousness we had thick enough sleeping pads it did not bother us until we were awake, so not too bad. ...

Re: What did you do today...

Damn, my dad is being all pissy with me because he thinks I have all this money to go on trips which he thinks the one to California is my vacation. I come home to ask a favor or talk about whatever to my brother or mom and he becomes real annoyed and demands that I start supporting my sister if I h...

Re: Good Morning / Goodnight

I would love to be called away for work, any time, any day as it gives me a sense of purpose. Being at home it hits me that I have no life. Employers love me though, I am very flexible when out of school and in school I would fill up my schedule with any science lab/ Forensics Lab I can take as they...
