Hey evil, how often do you adjust that timing plate? I got the $11 degree key from alba and really like the quicker response I get throughout the rpm range. Yes it definately improves the bike's ability to pop the front end up. Its not a huge change and its hard to describe but I would say that it just makes things feel more "torquey." I also dropped to a 13 up front since I mostly ride sand and I prefer to be able to pull the front end up over obstacles and dropoffs with just a twist of the wrist. Just make sure you torque the flywheel nut down to specs or you'll risk shearing the key off.

Here's another (by the way these aren't pics of me):

Or...go to pismo, ride in the morning and kiteboard in the afternoon when the wind picks up:

Its not like I'm dwelling on it. It happened awhile back if you look at the date of the first post. I haven't found out who did it but my insurance will cover it - only cost to me is $100. It is just a car, and a truck at that so I'm not worried about scratching it. I'm pissed that some little bastard would do that to my property and get away without a scratch. My philosophy is that you should pay for being a prick. Maybe its immature broke, but I'd still feel better after I buried my boot into his jaw a few times. Its nice to know that if anyone is feeling like being a dick, they can key your car to their heart's content and you'll be fine with it since you're such an adult. Now if only you could spell like an adult.

f*ck all that! I'm on my 3rd $200 watch.

Banshdog - click the door on the computer to go to the other room and get the other 2 letters.

Computer letters - unscramble em to make a word (head). Room with the spider? I think thats the same level with the pool table. If so then you gotta have the white ball (i think from the previous level). Go right to the room with the chalkboard and get the chalk. Um...trying to remember but if this is the one with the wrinkled carpet then click the wrinkle to straighten the carpet then move the chair over. Now you can reach up into the light. I think there's a key in there but its getting fuzzy. Well anyway, when you find a key take it back to the room to the left of the pool table and open up the chest. Inside the chest get a coin. Go back to the pool table and place the white ball on the table, then use the chalk on the pool cue. Next pop in your coin - don't worry if you don't sink the ball on your first try, you can go back into the chest for another coin. I found that if you point your cue all the way to the right (looks like you'll scratch) then you'll sink both ur balls in one shot.

The Xmas tree doesn't do anything as far as I can tell. On the chess board one, you gotta get the poster of the knight and put the poster on the flashing square on the chessboard. Then you have to play a little game of 1 piece chess by moving the knight onto the flashing squares. Remember that a knight moves in an "L" - that is one square one way and then 2 squares another or vice versa. Depending on which computer you mean, you have to put the disk in and restart the computer before it will let you enter the code you read inside the locker (quest). If your refering to an ealier computer, then you have to get the disk out of the box using the pin you pull out of the flag.

force field...hmm i remember several levels with force fields. Can you describe it any better?

You gotta get the different colored valves for each pipe (3 total). That one is kinda confusing cuz there's so many rooms. The first valve (green i think) is in the room to the left. The picture on the wall of the valve is actually the valve itself. I forget how to get the 2nd valve but it wasn't all that hard. The last (red) one is a pain in the ass. You'll find a letter from the head of the security dept. sitting on a desk. Then in a diff room you'll find a piece of paper and a pen. Take the paper back to the letter and use the pen to trace out a request for a red valve. Then take the forged letter to the mail system thingy and send it off. Then check the inbox on the mail thingy. Bingo you got the valve. After you place all 3 valves on the pipes you've gotta go to some sort of alien warp thingy and by clicking on the valve colors that you saw on a painting at the beginning of the level you can change the color of the valve on the warp thing. The idea is to get it to turn grey. After that just activate the control pad and step inside the warp.

Holyman, upon entering the level click on the key sitting on the grate in front of the door. The key will fall through the grate. Go to the room on the right. Get the batteries (i think they were in the cabinet). If you don't get em the first time click again, one of the levels that stumped me had 2 items in a cabinet and you have to click twice to get em both. Open up the window blinds to see a flashlight. Put the batteries in the flashlight, then go back to the room with the scooter and get a lightbulb out of the headlight. Go back to the right room and put the lightbulb in the flashlight. Take the flashlight and click the rug on the floor of the right room to reveal 4 tiles. Keep clicking the tiles until all 4 of them drop down to reveal a hole. Grab the firehose and drop it down the hole. Climb down the hole and use the flashlight to see a door on the left - go to the room on the left. The key is hidden partially behind some junk on the lower left corner of the screen. Pretty easy to see actually.

Hell no, not me! I'd forgotten that this past weekend was Mother's Day so I didn't even go. I don't go riding on weekends and holidays if I can help it. Actually 2x/month when I do have a weekend off I usually try to take care of crap around the house to avoid all the yahoo's out there.

Damn, Finally beat it. Took me a good 2.5 hours or so. There's 12 levels total for those of you wondering if it will ever end. Here's proof - my name is Hugh Jardon. Guest Book

That penguin one is amusing for about 3 minutes. Takes too damned long for the penguin to fly. Tire toss was better but I just can't beat 443.

Clerks Kill Bill vol 1 by the way, my earlier quote, "mind the uniform Cleric, I plan on wearing it a long time" was from Equilibrium. If you liked the matrix, check it out. Features a new martial arts called the gunkata - using guns as an extension of your body. Pretty sick f'n shit!

Big Gun Race is a nice pipe for the 300ex. That thing has no balls with the stock pipe. Even piped its still running one nut. That and pull off the airbox lid if you're not worried about water.

I'll be in Pismo May 7-9. Description posted in the rides forum in case anyone wants to drop by.

I had an idea tonight after reading somebody's question as to whether they would need to rejet after installing an inline cooler. Why don't those of us with some experience with different products do some reviews for the product review forum? I know I'm assuming alot since people never use the search function, but it seems to me that enough people on here have tried what works and what doesn't, and it might be nice to put all that in a forum that was designed specifically for it. Of course, we do get great product reviews of unusual and exotic products, but maybe we could cover the more mundane mods as well. Inline coolers, tires, reeds, boost bottles, reed spacers, brake lines, case savers, chains, sprockets, temp gauges, seat covers, handle bars, lights, pipes, air filters, TORS removal kits, fender trimming, etc. Basically all the stuff that a new banshee owner will want to be changing ASAP.

Man I hope some of you have seen this movie: "Mind the uniform Cleric, I plan on wearing it a long time"

I'll be in Pismo this weekend if anyone is gonna be out there. Yellow Xterra with 14 foot white enclosed trailer, red/black banshee and a yellow 300ex. I'll either be riding or I'm gonna bring my kiteboarding gear in case there's some good wind. Probably end up camping somewhere around marker #3 or #4 depending on the tides.

An american goes into an irish pub and enjoys a few drinks. While in there he notices a man sitting in the corner hovering over his pint and looking quite grim. Being the sociable type, he walks over to the man and asks him why he looks so down. "Well laddy, do you see that bridge over there?" the man replies. "I built that bridge with me own two hands, but do they call me O'Malley the bridge builder? No, they don't call me that." "Still," the american replies, "its a fine bridge and do you really need recognition for such a fine accomplishment?" "Laddy, do you see that barn over yonder? I built that barn with me own two hands! But do they call me O'Malley the barn builder? No, they don't call me that neither." "Well," replies the american, "I'm sure that folks appreciate you for your skills nonetheless." "Laddy, do you see that Library down the street? I built that library with me own two hands! But do they call me O'Malley the library builder? No, they don't call me that. But you f*ck one goat..."

Didn't see any sharks thankfully but we did paddle with a buttload of dolphins. We're not sure what we're going to do next. We bought the kayak a month ago with the hopes that "someday" we'd paddle it to Catalina. As it turned out, it only took us 4 paddles before we felt ready to do the crossing. Several ideas are coming up on what to do next. We're thinking about a 2 week trip out to Lake Powell in Utah and just cruise around and explore. That'll be alot easier since we're only planning on 20 miles/day or so. Plus we can jump into the water to stretch out and cool off without fear of what lurks underneath. Another idea is to paddle out to Catalina, spend a day or 2 to circumnavigate the island, then paddle back. Or we might set our sights on one of the islands further out - San Clemente or Santa Barbara Islands, maybe even the Channel Islands if we feel like driving up the coast. Also we're toying with the idea of just heading down the coast and seeing how far we can go - we'll stop when we hit the mexican border. We decided to go ahead and order a sail so that we can at least have some assistance on the downwind legs of our trips. Should extend our distance a bit more. For the moment we're not doing any trips that we have to ship the boat to, but maybe we'll consider a Hawaii trip after we've exhausted everything local.

Self portrait man. Hahahaha! Ya right!

Just thought I'd gloat a bit. On Tuesday my bro and I went for an 18.5 mile paddle in our tandem kayak. Figured that Catalina was only another 10 miles so we returned home, checked out the weather, loaded up the supplies and left Wednesday morning at 5:30. We arrived in Two Harbors at 3:30pm after having paddled 30 miles of open ocean. We ate dinner, camped out and left the next morning at 6:30. Another long ass crossing and we were both feeling pretty sore so even though we had better conditions, it still took us 9 hours to get back to Redondo Beach. So all together, I've paddled 80 miles and 24 hours in the last 3 days.

Man people are so opinionated about this stupid avatar. With all the bitching I've heard about it, the only thing I'll change it to is a picture of an 18 inch penis. Be careful what you ask for.
