    I'm a Harbor Freight addict

    True, that HF offers jobs inside their stores, however I would be shocked if the average person there made more than $10 hour. That $10 cashier job hardly replaces the $15-20 hr manufacturing and $25+ hr engineer positions that are eliminated when an American manufacturing company moves their...

    I'm a Harbor Freight addict

    The 2010 Mazda 6 that my wife and I just bought was made in Flat Rock Michigan by union auto workers. Most of the 'domestic' cars that we looked at were either made in Canada or Mexico. Half the parts on that thing have FOMOCO stamped on them. I'm proud of my American made Jap car! Harbor...

    Cycle One-off 17" wide performance wheels for your V-max

    Your bike looks great but you have to lower that front fender! Makes the bike look like a Supermoto!

    Which Vmax to Pick?

    I say neither and take your Dad's 2nd Gen. Tell him to consider it an early withdrawal from your inheritance! :biglaugh:

    RANT: Sears Sucks!

    UPDATE: So I went in and talked to a manager today after work. When they received the wrong part with the shipping label that was supposed to be for mine and wasn't, my order was noted as 'filled' on the internal Sears system. So for over a week (after waiting a month and getting the wrong...

    Rolling burnout tires.

    I would say the best tire for burnouts would be the factory Dunlop at the end of its life. I spent the last 500 miles of the factory tire doing nothing for effortless rolling burnouts. Great fun!

    RANT: Sears Sucks!

    You know, I've noticed that more and more of the Craftsman tools are being made in China. I did just buy some snap ring pliers from Sears that were surprisingly still stamped USA. I try to buy my tools at Sears if they are made here, but if its made in China damn straight I will go to Harbor...

    RANT: Sears Sucks!

    OK, so I finally decided to pick myself up a new tool box and of course the first place I think of is Sears. I go in and pick out a bottom top combo in black on sale for $249.00 and pay for it on April 10. They don't have it in stock and say it will come in on May 6th. Fine, I can wait. I...

    The holster thread

    The only gun I carry is the one swinging between my legs. Horrible aim too. I was shooting at my wife for four years before I got her and we had our little boy. However, this thread reminds me of a recent shooting at a Walgreens here. Two kids walk into Walgreens, one has a sawed off. A...

    Dead Man Displayed on Motorcycle Rather than in Casket for Wake

    Doesn't he know that he could be killed riding that bike without a helmet? Oh, wait a minute. Never mind, sorry.

    New addition

    Congrats Sean! My boy is just over 4 months now and I'm enjoying every minute of it! Can't wait to buy him his first gas powered bike/atv.

    want some extra money for mods

    $2500? Thats like 25,000 lbs of scrap. How in the hell did you transport that much weight to a metal recycler?

    Carb slide info everyone should know

    If your carb diaphragms seem to have shrunk a little after having them off the bike for awhile, and this is preventing you from getting a good seal with the carb covers, then soaking them in gasoline for about 2 hours might expand them enough to seal correctly again. This tip comes from...

    Loss of power above 5k, slide issues?

    Finally was able to get the bike out on the road and its not pulling past 5k. Pulled the air box top and cleaned thoroughly the intake holes with carb cleaner. While I was doing this I noticed that the slides wouldn't move, at all, even revving to 7k. I had the carb side covers p/c this year...

    Speaking of burnouts gone bad...

    Was the guy crying at the end of the video? I suppose if the traction control applies the brakes when it senses wheel spin and the guy puts it to the floor with the brakes already applied, something has got to give.

    Jonesen' really bad......

    ****HIJACK ALERT**** Which stock? ****HIJACK ALERT**** I am right there with you. Sent my scoops, sidecovers and carb covers to a body shop to polish the pieces back in December. I tried to polish them, no way I could make them look right with my tools. Just went and got them back this...
