  1. It means you have to take out a big hammer and smash one of the computers. Pathway....Is that anything like the directory where the program is stored? A guy in my shop did this years and years ago...probably 8 or so, and I think he had to name one of the drives on his lap top to G:/ or something, then accesed it with the tower by typing in G:/ filename..... I'm sure this is old school shit I'm talking about. Nevermind.
  2. I heard that they did that to the Iraqi POW's to soften them up for interrogation. Much like what you mentioned..... Personally I can't say that its "fair" that the pictures were taken......pictures have nothing to do with the interrogation part what so ever. In fact if they hadn't taken pictures, chances are no one would have ever known about this. The people I do feel bad for are the American/British/Japanese POW's that get and have got paraded around, guns pointed in their faces to make them squeal. Take a look at the video of Danny Pearlman that was made. Sick shit right there, and the whole thing was glorified in order to humilate, and terrorize the US im my opinion.
  3. Now if I can just get it to go FAST Thanks for the compliments!
  4. Well, I had my Chevelle that I liked, no ....LOVED to wash and wax.... My 95 Tahoe I had right after that, and then my 97 Z-71. Since then its just been trucks that I don't really care about all that much. Just A to B type shit. I don't know that I'll really ever have anything that sticks out like that Chevelle did again. I don't mind. I got other interests anyway. lol..... My Banshee plastic is covered in black smudgey hand prints right now from us pushing it (I rode it in the shop last weekend...kinda scary on a painted floor) from one end of the shop to the other as I tinker, rip it apart, put it back together etc......But I have this really cool solvent based plastic cleaner at my shop that makes the whole bike look like its wet. mmmmm.....Thanks Walt.
  5. I put my rubber bumpers in, and within 2-3 trips one is missing. For Dumont, I made one out of DUCT TAPE!!! Its still working, but not how I want. I might try gluing them in.
  6. Good to hear you bailed off!!!!! You would have come away with a lot more than a broken foot. I saw a kid at St. Anthonys go over Thunder Mtn due to a stuck throttle, and they called in the Heli and hauled him out with a broken back.
  7. Is this a trick question?
  8. Brilliant......I'm just sitting here laughing because I think this would work like a charm, and honestly...I wish I would have thought of it..... So, do quite a few people end their sentencees with "No thanks, I'll walk"? lol j/k
  9. I didn't realize how much those Dumbo ears blocked from my view of the sand in front of me. Once I hacked them I loved it. After I hacked the rears I liked it even more. Its like driving an open wheel roadster. Something about it is appealing. I have had a few people tell me it was either dangerous or "looked kind of retarded" I wear goggles and a helmet.
  10. You mount that winch up front, or on the seat? Usually on the seat. The funny thing is, the winch doesn't really do anything for the bike mechanically, but it sure makes it look better.
  11. Never been in this situation, but know people that have. If you contest it the cop has to show up. I'm thinking if he doesn't it gets judged in your favor or the judge makes the call...don't quote me on that however.....like I said I've never been in that situation. But if the cop does show up, just tell it like it is, but be courteous. My dad went to a small claims court against this jackass that owed us some money. The case before ours was still up, and for some reason the defendant kept calling the prosecution "a lying bitch". The judge had to warn this guy 4 times with a fine of $500.00 each time, and the last time he told this guy that if he did it again he would be thrown in jail. Oh, and this guy was from Arizona, so he not only dropped $2000 dollars in my town in about 15 minutes, but he almost because a resident for a few months. lol. Sometimes ignorance or an "I'm sorry" will go a long ways. It will hurt saying "Im sorry" when your not in the wrong but catoring to someones ego can work wonders. Its got me a reduced fine on a speeding ticket. 95 in a 70, dropped to 79 in a 70. The fine was about 1/3, and the points were a lot less. Yeah I felt like shit after saying "sorry for speeding blah blah" but I didn't offer any excuses either. Good luck.
  12. Any time I want to put a winch on my Banshee I just point and tell her to get on it. BADA BOOM!!!!!
  13. I make billet gripper gripping handle handlers. They are for putting your gripping gripper handles in when you travel.
  14. LMFAO Thats the best way to start an addiction.... Carry around a small brass hammer. Nothing huge. When ever you get a craving for a cigarette place your hand on a table and whack your thumb with the hammer. I don't know about curing your craving, but you won't be thinking about smoking for at least a few minutes.
  15. I haven't had a car or truck worth waxing in 7 years.

  17. Stock was 105 at 4500 feet. After the shaved head 135, and now after some porting its right around 150-155.
  18. Maybe you rode it so hard you wore them out??? Really...maybe pull them out and give them an inspection.
  19. If you are looking for new, I can have one fabbed in about a weeks time, any length you need.
  20. I heard this once on the TV news about 5 years ago.... Some oil exec said they have to raise the prices in the winter when consumption goes down, its the law of supply and demand..... then later on to explain why gas goes up in the summer..... It costs more to produce more, so we have to raise prices. WTF???? That goes AGAINST suppy and demand theory... I wish I could find it somewhere online because I about fell out of my chair when I heard it. I know what I heard.......damn stupid lying TV........
  21. 13/44 with a 21" hauler is what I plan on. Right now they are 20" haulers. This will get me pretty close to stock. 22" haulers would get me even closer, but I think I'll go the 21" and manipulate the gearing a little.
  22. When you put aluminum in any type or caustic solution, whether its dish soap, or degreaser, it will oxidize the surface of the aluminum. If its polished it will do it in a hurry!!!! When you wash anything billet its a good idea to either use highly diluted soap and rinse immediately after, or use something like Windex or an aluminum polish like Mothers.
  23. What if you blasted a tank with the F16 and the f'ing Easter Egg blew up and got all over the place? You call that harmless? LMAO!! Low level flight shooting gophers would be kinda fun, or flying over a WalMart and dumping about 2000 lbs of bombs. There'd be bouncing smiliey faces for miles.
  24. There is as guy right now in my shop that is helping us go through the mountains of paper work when we quote jobs for the government that is a software engineer and spent a good deal of time designing and building F-16 flight simulators for Evans and Sutherland. I think he said he has over 3000 hours in a simulator. He's pretty sure he could climb in the cockpit and fly a real one. Theres 30 of them about 700 feet away from my shop, the only problem is that whole getting shot deal.
  25. I'm thinking it could be settled by a few rounds of Foxy Boxing.
