ok, i see what you were saying about walmart now.

same rules apply though, lol. You saying "like at walmart" is irrelevant to anyone such as myself, whose local walmart has grass between rows of parking spaces.

yea i thought of tht after because i remember the walmart in west palm beach has grass rows making them only single row parking spaces its late my brain dont work well..

I work by a walmart. There are tons of RV's and Semis there lol

Really pisses me off when I try to start my car after it's been sitting for a week, and the damn alternator is siezed up.

Pisses me off that all of a sudden I have to follow a very strict routine to start my car succesfully :( ANNOYING

I have a strict routine too... every single time I get in the car, if I want it to start I have to put the key in and turn. :p

Lol idk whats wrong with it but I dont feel like looking into it but when I start my car... It will rev normal for about 5 seconds than it will die and not start back up.....

UNLESS
-Right when I start it I rev it really high [Loud and gay so I dont do this one]
-Right when I start it I release the clutch and move about one foot either direction.... than it will run perfect rom there.....

I cant figure out the stupid problem so I give up till I find a job lol so I can start replacing random things for no reason :P

intermittent main relay

try resoldering it

Try selling it and getting a hatch. =)

yea sell the sol and buy punishers hatch it was recently just fully customized .. has a nice breeze to it. just need the seat rewelded.....

-The fact that I don't have a bike anymore.

-That I have to wait another two months before I find out if I can afford to take out a loan to get a new bike. I'm going to go to the bank to find out what my monthly payment options would be on a $4k loan this weekend.

Sorry, off topic, but I was reading a thead on HT earlier about how dangerous bikes are. There was alot of pretty nasty pictures in there from people loosing controll.
Sport bikes are a death wish if you ask me.

Usually the people pointing out how dangerous bikes are have never ridden. Yes, they're dangerous if you do something stupid (something I'm guilty of from time to time). If you can control your urge to twist the throttle wide-open, you'll probably be fine. The only thing that scares me when I'm on a bike is people in cars; most of them don't look for bikes or just don't care. The leading cause of accidents for bikers is cars making left-hand turns.

Oh, and if you'd like, I could post examples of very graphic car crash aftermaths. Cars are dangerous, too. Should we stop driving them?

Ha - just check out my old thread of what no leathers does. That was at 120..ish.
The two biggest things on motorcycle are the unknown and people in cars.
I've already kicked in the fender to two cars, i've ended up dragging on the back of the bike < it was wild and crazy man >, punched in a window, and had MANY close calls due to people who don't know how to pay attention to the road. G.D. cell phone should be banned whilst driving. If caught you should have your phone smashed, and your windshield destroyed.
And the unknown is for random animals that may appear, and driving in an area you don't know. Other than that, riding a bike is safe.
And you must have never been on a bike before. Once you get the wind, and hit some twisties, you'll know what I'm talking about.

bike + no gear = bad haha... road rash blows.

But yeah, I forgot to list the unknown... but that's a pretty universal danger in vehicles. Yeah, it's more dangerous on a bike, but if you're coming around a turn in a car and there's a deer in your lane, things still aren't going to be pretty.

But +1 on the idea that you fall in love with riding. I haven't been on two wheels since about March (and September before that), and I can't even describe how sh*tty it feels. It pretty much feels like there's a part of me missing lol

my first bike was a harley sportster then i got a gsxr 1100 gawd what a difference
that was just to much damn bike for me.. and its not your driving you gotta worry about its everyone elses driving. cars have something to help protect you..(seatbelt,airbags, and such) while bikes well .... you wreck and your ****ed...

Great thing about my bike was I could have it in 6th, be crusing on the highway and STILL have more power than most cars. I could slam the hammer and git up and GO. Had many close calls where I didn't have enough time to downshift, I needed out THEN. Simply laid down, slammed the cable, and flew outta trouble. =)
The only thing I hate about bikes, is there is nothing preventing a no0b from getting a BIG ass bike. Too many kids are getting 1000+ and outdriving themselves. Keep to a 600, or eevn better a 250 or so to learn. Less bike means less power, and less weight. Its MUCH better for rookies. My 955 was a little much bike for me. I shoulda stayed with a smaller motor. =/

And reaper- you ARE missing part of yourself. I know every time I pass a bike, I still throw up my left hand. Then think ' damnnit.. I'm in a truck!'. On my roadtrip to Oregon, I found myself wishing for a bike THE WHOLE WAY. Especially in Cali, on I-5 north, within an hour of being in Oregon. Some beautiful twisy highways. Love at first sight.
Lol - you ever see a cop, and try to warn the bike behind you by tapping your head? I keep doing it just to realize I don't have a helmet on, and the guy behind me is not paying attention to my head.

haha, no, I haven't caught myself giving the warning yet. I have given bikers the wave without thinking though.

But yeah, a 600 is a great size for street-ridden bikes. I still don't know why everyone insists that 600s aren't powerful enough or whatever. Okay, so some of the guys on liter bikes can ride and have a ton of talent/skill... but let's face it, most don't. I honestly don't get what's so bad about 600's... I mean, come on. 100+hp propelling a vehicle with a 380lb curb weight. That's some serious power to weight. I know my F4i wasn't the most powerful thing (actually, I guess it was a pretty competitive 600 back in '01 lol), but I'll be d*mned if that thing didn't try to lift every time you shifted to second while getting on it. Besides, you can absolutely toss a 600 in the turns with no effort whatsoever.

And this pretty much settles it. In a few months when I get everything figured out money-wise, I'm taking out a $4k bank loan and going CBR shopping :D

-Squids

-The "I'd have gotten a 600, but I would have gotten bored too fast, so I bought a liter bike" mentality, especially for new riders getting their first bikes. Let me get this straight... you've never ridden, or have dirt bike experience (which is like saying that because I can fly a kite, I should have no problem piloting a Boeing 747) and yet you think you can safely handle a 400lb vehicle with more power than most passenger cars? Yeah. Uh-huh. Have fun laying it down when you goose the throttle around a turn.

-Accidentally hitting the horn every time I turned my turn signal off

-The safety cutoff switch (while the bike is on its wheels anyway lol). I've only accidentally hit it once while riding, and it utterly confused the hell out of me as to what happened and why my bike was no longer able to accelerate lol

-"You have a headlight out." No, that would be my high beam that's currently not on. Could you do me a favor, though? I'd like to make sure it works. Could you get down so it's at eye-level and look directly at it? Tell me if it turns on when I hit the switch.

-"Dude, you need a new rear tire." Umm. No. No, I don't. It's not a car tire, and it's designed a little bit different.

-People that think you can't ride unless you don't have chicken strips. Or you know, some of us might not make a habit of tossing our bike on its side around every turn.

-Stunnaz. Keep it to parking lots and closed roads, please. As much as I hate seeing another rider go down, when you're lane splitting heavy traffic at double the speed limit all without the front tire... you know, touching the ground, you're kind of asking for it.

Well, there is a problem with noobs getting 600's. The 600's like to get on the back tire. Making people think they are able to stunt, and get on the back. At least the big bikes stay down, for the most part. You have to really try to get a 1000 on the back tire.

Ever notice how most of your squids are either 16-22 on a street bike, or an old ' badass' biker? Its funny how they think the bike they are on make them more badass. And since your now officially a badass, everyone has to see your face! You can't let them guess who the badass is, they MUST KNOW.

-Reapers sig. It's better than mine damnit. Not cool.

Speaking of sigs, 94civichatchback, could you please remove that .gif from your sig? It has 299 frames, and since you post in like every thread, the whole forum just takes thatttt much longer to load. It's not that it's a big file, it's just that .gifs with tons of frames take substantially longer to load than anything else on the page, probably since the load time doesn't keep up with the frame rate (since the thing starts animating instantly even though the frames aren't loaded), making scrolling down the page really laggy while the .gif is still loading.

damn but its cool and i like it......... i will take one for the team
he beats the hell outta the black stick fig. and its like 60 frames...

160px × 120px
GIF image (animated, 299 frames)
136.67 KB (139955 bytes)

It's 299 frames, exactly. I downloaded it and looked before saying something about it so I would know for sure that i'm not on crack. lol

Thanks though

That thing has to be the fastest .gif framerate I have ever seen for how many frames it has. lol

I'm on dial up, and I didn't even notice it. Your computer must be old Trust. =P

You didn't notice it because everything is slow on dial-up.

My computer's not slow, I guess i'm just so used to page loading being lightning fast that the extra 5 seconds bugs me. lol

Just got my computer rebuilt for $150. So it's fast as hell.
That one with almost 300 frames was so distracting when I was trying to read.

Rebuilt? What'd ya get?

And i'm excited... I just preordered my copy of Snow Leopard. $30 upgrades FTW

Well not rebuilt. Like, completely cleaned out and all viruses and spyware taken out.

What do you mean, "What'd ya get?"

Well I meant what'd ya get as in computer parts. But you just said you didn't get it rebuilt so nevermind. lol

I thought you meant rebuilt as in what I did with my old PC... took the motherboard and processor out to keep, and replaced everything else.

Much cheaper to take it to computer rennisance and have them make it like new again.

When an envelope for a card doesn't have enough glue on it. I couldn't just get a new one since it was a birthday card from a store that has a green envelope to match the color scheme. I swear I licked it once, tried to seal it and it didn't stick! wtf??? Now I have to use some tape and make me look like a 5 year old who doesn't know how to seal an envelope properly.

The god damn flies that keep buzzing around my house. It's not cool either that I cannot find 1 effin fly swatter in my house, and they are too quick to get with my hands.

I'd rather see a new rider on a 100hp 600 than a liter bike sitting at d*mn near 200. Actually, I'd rather see them on 250's or 500's, but we all know everyone's too cool for that. I'll be honest, I started on a 600 because I found my F4i in mint condition for a decent deal. That and I have a thing for split seats. Banana seats just don't look as good.

And yup... chicks can't see your face when you have a helmet on, so all the jocks can't possibly be seen with a helmet on; how else will they pick up random easy girls? I mean, we all know the only reason to buy a supersport is to pick up chicks. I mean, it's not like they're extremely fun to ride, and it's not like riding that perfect line through the twisties is zen-like or anything :rolleyes:

-People that say it's too hot out to ride with gear on. You know what... I'll take a little sweat in my leathers over potential road rash or worse. My jacket literally weighs 10 lbs; it gets hot as f*ck when I'm at a light. But you know what? I've had the pleasure of re-growing most of the skin on my right arm once; I'd rather not do it again. Besides, leathers and a helmet look cooler than your stupid sandals, khaki shorts, and hollister t-shirt.

-People that ask me "Aren't you hot wearing all that gear?" Nope, sh*t's air-conditioned. Of course I'm f*cking hot wearing all this sh*t, but please refer to my last short rant for the reason I'm wearing it.

-"That your bike?" Nope, I just found it in a dumpster on the way over here along with this riding gear and decided to ride it.

-"Do a wheelie!" Do a backflip.

-When you walk into a store wearing your leathers (and helmet, if I don't anticipate being in there long) and the inevitable question comes up from someone who doesn't think before speaking... "You ride a motorcycle?" Nope, drove here in my car. I just like to make sure I'm safe in case of an accident.

-That Honda dealerships don't feel it's necessary to list an inventory of the bikes they actually have in the showroom on their websites. Instead, let's just show you all the bikes honda makes, along with a stock photo of each. I mean, it's not like anyone's interesting in seeing the bikes we have in the showroom before they waste their time and drive out just to get an idea of what payments would be and what they can afford.

Reaper you motorcycle rants are HILARIOUS lol

- going into a bank with gear on. Do you asshats really think I'm robbing you? I am wearing something that stands out, and makes all eyes appear on me. Like I'm going to do something that stupid in this ****. And where am I going to put the money? Not like I have but 1 pocket. I might get a grand in there. Instead, look at the douchebag wearing pants 5x too big for him. He's probably got an arsenal in there, and can easily hide a small cow!

-Going to a motorcycle shop for a simple part, and having to argue with the asshat behind the counter. Its a damn shifter with a small bend ad the bottom. Why the HELL are you trying to sell me a shifter with NO bend? IT WONT WORK!.

one time few years ago i locked my keys in my car and was using a coat hanger to pop the lock. a guy comes up and says oh did you lock your keys in your car? i said hell no i just washed it now im hanging it out to dry. :)

Hahahaha. That's a good one.

One I almost forgot

- Getting pulled over on your bike because the cop behind you thought he saw your gun.
Cop saw my gun, let the car whom cut me off go, and pulled me over. I had to get on the ground and all that bull**** just to end up showing him my license. What an asshat. =/ All he could see was a SMALL side profile of the thing. There was no way he actually saw enough. Mist have had some eagle eyes.

-When you're framing out a window while building a garage, and you feel a sharp prick in your left hand immediately after shooting a pnuematic nailgun. Then you instinctively look at your hand and there's about a half inch of a framing nail sticking out of the space between your ring finger and thumb, with the rest of that little sh*t-clown buried in your hand, spanning over half the f*cking width of your palm. And framing nails ain't no joke, either. Go ahead, look them sh*ts up on google. You use a 16d nail for residential framing. Those a**f*ckers are 3 and a half inches long. I had 3 inches of that little sh*teater stuck in my hand. What sucks worse is pulling the nail out and going back to work because I'm a f*cking bada** like that and I don't have time for pussy sh*t like whining that my hand hurts. Or I'm just too stupid to realize that, holy f*ck, I just shot myself with a nailgun. Maybe it would be a good idea to go to the hospital. What's amazing is my left hand wasn't even on the window jack I was framing. The nail had hit a knot on the edge of the 2x4 and shot out of the corner of the board, straight into my hand. Which was about a foot away from the 2x4 I was nailing at the time.

-When you lose the nail that was actually part of your body for about 15 seconds. I still don't know where it went, but I kept it for a good year after I pulled it out of my hand.

-That moment when you realize sh*t's about to hit the fan. You know what I'm talking about. You're not even f*cking worried about what's about to happen. Pure and utter acceptance that you're about to get anally raped by the situation, and it's not even going to give you the courtesy of using lube. That moment where your only thoughts are along the lines of "Jesus titty-f*cking Christ, this is going to f*cking suck worse than Carlos Mencia's jokes," or "F*ck Goddammit." You're coming around a turn on a bike and you realize you're not going to make the turn (going wide into a ditch f*cking sucks, by the way). You come over the crest of a hill on a back road at 70mph only to see that there's a dip in the road followed by a sharp-a** turn (civics can do weight transfer drifts like no other, by the way. Also, it's hard to counter-steer when your girlfriend is screaming like a banshee and has a death-grip on your right arm). You're skateboarding and you do fs180 over a rail, land on the tail, start to lose your balance, and wake up laying next to the rail with your head bleeding like it's going out of style (though the resulting vertigo attacks are kind of cool... and the blood trail down the side of my head, neck, chest, back, and arm was pretty sweet, too). You're just minding your own d*mned business and all the sudden God punches you in the face with the holy fist of "sh*t this sucks". Yeah, f*ck that noise.
