One thing to keep in mind is that hiring an attorney may have nothing whatever to do with actually contesting the case. Many moons ago, in another life, I was a pretty bad boy from a traffic perspective. So I had ample opportunity to be represented by public defenders (the worst), myself, and...

Yep, it's just the same here, only the numbers are different. The lengths to which some of the posers will go to look hardass is just amazing. I really laughed the first time I saw someone lay out $500 for a leather jacket that looked like someone dragged it behind a truck for 50 miles...

I beg to differ, the job was not nearly anal enough! You forgot to prelubricate your condom - as in add some dielectric grease to the joint after soldering, THEN slide the heat shrink over and don't even DARE to use a heat gun. Just the warm breath of a Hooter's girl is enough to tighten up good...

Notice no one made argument to this one.....not too many of the Faithful around here, I'd suspect. Accourse, here in the states it's a well known fact that them Yoorpeens are all a buncha girls, scared to ride a Real Motorcycle :yahoo:

Well, I must confess, I have no clue what chemicals are in Sea-Foam. In fact, I always thought it was sort of a hokey name for a product, and that it must be some snake-oil ********. But then about 10 years ago, my cousin recommended it and gave me a bottle to try. He owns his own small engine...

Soooo....what's leaking??? Valve seats, piston rings, or both? What tests were performed, and what repair did the mechanic propose? Was he proposing to rebuild the cylinder head or the whole engine? With 83,000 miles there's a good chance the cylinders/pistons/rings are still fine. At any rate...

Huh. And here I thought adding two stroke oil to gas was a sure way to make it break down faster, instead of the other way around. Got no real evidence, other than that the oil injected snowmobiles I've had seemed far less prone to spoiled fuel than the pre-mix sleds of the old days. But I...

Also worth noting that suspension upgrades are available for the FJR, and these generally tend to reduce the incidence of scraping hard parts (less wallowing while leaned over). Most of those pushing the bike to the limit of dragging hard parts have already upgraded, or should seriously consider...

Adding to the footprint of the sidestand might make it necessary to grind the stop anyway. The bottom of the stock sidestand "foot" is not flat, it's sorta V-shaped. Adding a larger "foot" might make the bike rest on the edge of the larger foot, depending on the surface angle it's resting on...

1. If only 2% of motorcycles in America are ST's - then there is HUGE growth potential in the ST market since 98% of the buyer pool has yet to experience ownership. 2. More choices in the ST market will increase competition, and thus improve the breed. As the ST's become more capable, they will...

What you're looking at is scratches and other defects underneath the color, caused by poor surface preparation and a dusty work environment. NOTE WELL: To get a good paintjob, a ventilated spray booth is normally required. This helps ensure that the work area is free of dirt and dust when the...

Bloody brilliant that was!! Couldn't help but sit and watch the whole thing. Some of the best race coverage I've seen for quite awhile. Thanks!

Just the $25K price tag!! :lol:

How about Pez dispensers built into the fairing side panels? These could hold Rolaids, metamucil tablets, zanax, vicodin, you name it. A pill for whatever ails the old farts who ride this thing, then they'll be too doped up to ***** about the suspension or transmission, or anything else...

There are 3 kinds of kickstands in this world: 1. The Harley/old Britbike design. Large footprint, less likely to sink in hot asphalt. Leans bike over plenty to prevent tipover. 2. Old Jap design. Very small footprint, but still leaned bike over plenty to prevent tipover. Small footprint...

We used to cut off the end of a broom handle, put an old sock over it and fold it up several times to make a torch. Soak it in charcoal starter and light it up. Then fill mouth with same said charcoal starter and spit freakin' HUGE fireballs like Gene Simmons. That stuff tasted like ****, but it...

Consider it done. I'll order in the AM. Should have the spanner in a week or so. I'm waiting for other parts to come in before I can reassemble the front end and use the spanner. I'll post up when my work with the spanner tool is done. If anyone wants to be next in line, go ahead and PM me a...

Prolly the idea to try the Indy venue for a second US event comes from 3 things: 1. Central location 2. Ability and experience of the track operators in promoting an event of this magnitude 3. Logistics. Indy regularly handles crowds in excess of 350,000 people. They can do it right the first...

Well, when his legs are deployed on the ottomans they will act as air scoops to keep his nads nice and cool. No burned chestnuts for 'ol Grumpy, that's for sure!

Well, truth be told, out of all the bikes I've owned, this is the first time I've ever felt the need to mess with a steering head bearing. And I'm only doing it in this case becasue of the "clunk" in the front end. I think that like many other 2005's, mine is one of those that had insufficiently...
