  1. A +4 swinger uses right around 116 links. Buy a 120 and trim from there.
  2. I use Craftsman. If it fails me on a Sunday, I don't have to wait till Monday to get it replaced.
  3. Have a goone one Ron!!! Haven't seen you around in a while, where you been?
  4. I started competing in 92 and retired in 2000. I'll skip the resume but I had a lot of fun over the years and achieved some accolades short of winning finals. The industry is hard to keep up with (rule changes), takes tons of time and money and I was ready to just enjoy the system as I saw fit. I may do it again some day, who knows.
  5. Happy Birthday!!! People your age make me feel, ya know, not so old.
  6. Yea, local hardware store or welding supply shop should have them. All you need is one that fits your hose threads and one that reads upwards of 200 psi.
  7. Happy Birthday Lee. I don't condone alcohol on your birthday though. Site may go down and we don't need any delays getting it back up and running.
  8. My dad works for a petroleum distributor.
  9. Post some pics when you get a chance, I'd love to see it.
  10. You got a stainless? Cool!!! Strong material but very heavy.
  11. LCD has much improved over just the last couple of years. Longevity wise, they are lasting as long as thier crt counterparts with an avg life expectancy of 60,000 hours on upwards to 80k. If you use one 8 hours a day which is a little over the avg, it will last 20+ years. That's a long time to own a single tv, for me anyway. Plasma still has a (very) slight edge in picture quality but it's disadvantages far outweigh any picture quality advantages, for me. CRT's still offer great advantages in the 32" and smaller units, but big screen market will be dominated by the DLP's and LCD's.
  12. 35 coming up real quick.
  13. What issue's with LCD"s?
  14. I've used the steelers for10yrs and never any trouble at all. Their pro g and black widow series are arguably some of the best mx shocks on the market and definitly the most technologically advanced. Then again your comparing a 4 to 500 dollar series to sets that cost over a grand. Whatever you do on a quad, they make a shock for it.
  15. $5.50 a gallon for Sunoco purple 110. Thank god I get it at cost which is between 3.25 and 3.50 a gallon. Mark up on that stuff is crazy.
  16. Actually the so called "industry standard" is padded as well. According to a local builder with a dyno, he told me he can correct a reading till it reads whatever he wants it to.
  17. They are definitely the king of manufacturers for bling!!!
  18. People like that is the reason we have dumb laws. Fixing to be another one.
  19. Using a dremmel to polish your clutch cover is like using scissors to mow your lawn.
  20. Yep, I told my wife I wanted a crotch rocket and she said she wanted a second child. I bought my bike in may of 2000, Our second child was born January of 01.
  21. I'm late too but better late than never. Happy B-Day Travis!!!! Hope you had a good one.
  22. Don't clear coat them!! First off it will ruin the luster, as the clear oxidises it will yellow and look bad as well. This is assuming you don't ever get brake fluid on it cause that will taker it off like hot butter. I don't know how PC will handle the brake fluid, but I bet it can't be too good on it. Stuff is nasty on paint if its contact is longer than a couple minutes.
  23. What part was it? If it was aluminum assuming it was or they are real stupid. There are a lot of chrome shops that don't have the set-up to plate aluminum. In actuality your better of polishing aluminum v/s plating it. Reason is chrome just doesn't adhere to aluminum as well as it does other metals.
  24. I just got off jury trial about 5 months ago. When we went to deliberation I had to explain the hole freakin trail over again to some of the flippin morons, they just didn't get it. I think people need to have at least a HS diploma (minus the special ed stamp) before being selected for JD. Good luck to ya FH I feel your pain.
  25. Thanks guys and your welcome!! Obviously I felt the same and never second guessed your honesty and integrity. 2 great guys to deal with.
