  1. Yeah, but you'll eventually have to replace it one day. Eventually. Maybe. Probably shouldnt buy it.
  2. Bike has been reduced to $2500. Hell I should buy it.
  3. Probably more appropriate among these parts... and shouldn't you be selling something? Your boss isn't going to take kindly to web-surfing on his dime! Gosh-darn right
  4. There are some ank bag that mount using that kind of system. ^^ that.
  5. Ain't much of a dealer believe me. Little independent guy, owner is a notorious doper. I wouldn't let him change my oil, but he does consignment stuff - I'm sure that's what this is. Looks all stock, I wouldn't be scared of it.
  6. http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mcd/5093726883.html I hate that store with a mad passion - but the bike is supposed to be clean.
  7. On my 2nd set on the XX. Got 7500 miles on the first rear and could have stretched longer. Really like the handling. I like the PR2 and PR3 but would go Angel GT again in a second if the cost was anywhere close. Avon's are the worst motorcycle tires on the market, and lousy customer/dealer support to boot.
  8. Not to be a nay-sayer but are those the Conti's under recall?
  9. Hope you are right. This manufacturers approval process is brutal. I have been on some of the highest highs and darkest lows of my life so far with this.
  10. Cause you havent seen it yet. I got lucky beyond words. Cant wait to show off the view from this place. That said, I'll still take all the prayers and good thoughts for my success this upcoming year. To say its been a roller coaster is an understatement.
  11. Hmm. I wonder if that plug is looked at when we go looking for a problem, and thats why it disappears.
  12. So the old Bluebird is getting ready to click over 40k miles. My first tool strap just broke so its officially just broke in. Fall of 2013 I rode the bike, and a couple times a check engine light came on - bike fully warmed up and running highway speed, light came on when rolling off from full throttle to near zero. Bike had a throttle position sensor code - but after having the technicians check it out the light never came back, even though I fixed nothing. Then this past fall - exact same scenario. Check light when rolling off, TPS code in memory - but when we go to looking for a problem the light disappears. I figure something is loose or dirty. I spent a few hours going over wiring harness etc. TPS sensor tests good so I havent messed with it. It just wierd to be when we go looking for trouble the trouble runs and hides. Anyone have some shared wisdom on this? Could winter fuel blend changes or something be causing that?
  13. Good tip - didnt know that. What I envision is a straight shot in the same wall from the top floor, to the lower floor and on down to the basement. That would put cable where I want it, and the lower floor shares a wall between the living room and the bedroom my wife is using for an office. That will hit all the areas I want hardwire internet for. Me. my wife, and kids all live on our laptops/ipads/leapsters etc so wireless is sort of a requirement. I've fought with having wireless work on different floors for years and I just think two router/access points is the way for me to go.
  14. So as I make my move and leave Florida, I did a long term rental on a house. It's very nice, but was custom built by an old couple who has shuffled off the mortal coil. It was built as their dream home, and has some really nice features. But it was built almost completely ignoring things like cable tv wiring etc. it has two outlets in the place, and they are both in places you can't put a tv bigger than about 30 inch. You can tell they just weren't TV people. So I have permission from the owner to do whatever the heck I want as far as additional wiring, as long as it's done right. No cable stuck up out of the floor etc. So I'm going to have an electrician fish me a couple lines up and install wall boxes etc. I've always wanted to have hard line connections for my smart TV, Xbox, etc. My wife works from home and her computer requires a hardware connection and a special "security box" (some sort of firewall I'm sure). To that end the cable model for wireless in the house is usually in her office, and that leads to fun times trying to keep good wireless in other rooms and especially other floors. So what I'm thinking is that when they are running cable I may have them run me a couple Cat 5 lines at the same time. I have no idea what proper hardware and design would be, but my thoughts would be to place the cable modem where the tv cable enters the house - the house splitter is actually in a finished but un heated basement. Then at a cat 5 outlet on each floor put a wireless router - plug the stuff that needs a hard line into it and have a wireless network for each floor. Not having never done anything more than plug my one wireless router in my home does this sound reasonable? Anything to watch out for? What about the cable modem and temperature. Being unseated/cooled that room could have some extremes, though it's mostly underground. Will normal hardware deal with that? And any problems with multiple wireless networks in the same house? I assume keep on separate channels and I should be good right?
