    Sports Bike....I have questions.

    Maybe the best proof of starting small is taken from motoGP racers. None of them start out on the big bikes, they ALL work their way up. If its so great to start on a big bike why dont GP racers do it? Also, if super sports are the only way to have 'fun' why then do they race 250s? Also, why...

    Self control has no thing to do with it, unskilled is the problem.

    Sports Bike....I have questions.

It was my 2nd bike and I cant give it up, Its great for looonnng rides. Its fast enough for me(Ive done like 135 indicated). You can drag knees if your a...

    Sports Bike....I have questions.

    Any vehicle has the potential to kill you is used improper. However a moped wont flip over backwards if you goose the throttle a lil too much. A moped isnt likely to flip over forward is you grab a hand full of brake either. A simple road hazard at 45mph might not be a big deal. However, I...

    Domestic vs. Imports

    I always thought of it like this. American - pricey to build up but can take a beating over the long run. Jap - Cheap to build up but breaks fast when beat on. I dont know if thats accurate at all lol, just what I think based on no thing really.

    Air Compressor/Floor Jack

    From what Ive seen though the lower min. height jack you go, the less it will lift. I think horsepowerfreaks.com sells a cool roll-on box(its pricey!). My 45 does just fine though although its kind of big to roll on sometimes. Gotta give it alot of gas to get on it, maybe a 25 in front of the 45...

    How crap are UPS?

    You deliver it to the wrong addr then have no record of what happened? Happened to me actually sending my brother a package. The driver dropped it off at a neighbors house and didnt notice it was the Wrong addr. A local UPS driver that goes to a walmart screwed up Royal. He had 20 some boxs...

    Air Compressor/Floor Jack

    I ran into that problem when I lowered my supra. The jack is about 1/2" to high to fit under. I just put a 45lb weight behind a front tire and reverse up on it. That gives me enough height(very stable) to then get the jack under.

It lifts like twice...

    How crap are UPS?

    I work for UPS, I load the brown trucks for delivery. Sure things slip up but you got to consider the volume going through UPS. I handle about 1,000 packages into my trucks alone each day. I have to send damaged stuff to be inspected/repacked etc. Id guess 2 in 10,000 of my boxs dont go out the...

    Anyone have a car repossesed??

    That why you finance certain things, get credit cards, take personal loans etc. Also, have cash in the bank to cover all of those things in case you need to pay them off. Financing a car isnt the best way to build credit in my opinion.

    Anyone have a car repossesed??

    I own 3 vehicles, paid cash for all of them. I will never finance a car no matter what, to me its not worth it. My mother just got done paying off a 6 year car loan. After all the finace fees she basically paid double what the sticker price was. Also, after 6 years the actual street value of the...

    Fluid pump?

    Tried that, didnt see any when I looked. The people at the counter never herd of it. Seems the proper name is a Lower Unit Quart Pump. Easy to find them for sale now I know the name of it.

    Anyone have a car repossesed??

    I say dont put anything on credit unless you have the money in the bank to cover it. I know thats hard to do in most cases, just have to live within your means. When your poor and finance an expensive car and suddenly you loose your job, its all over. Call your finance company and ask what the...
