I was thinking about that type of trade also, but figured that its rare for someone to from power to less power.
When you grad, make sure you go full on with your apps. and don't stop. put in cover letters, resume and all that jazz. I tried to get in HECO, but damn was pretty tough bcuz of the competition.
The wedding, same here. I think i found the ring. My gf wanted the emerald design, and i wanted a solitare princess cut design for her, but I guess i gotta stick with what she wants. Her design I found is alot cheaper too. =D I did some serious research yesterday. head hurts. Now i gotta buy it...

squaregamer476 · March 29th, 2012, 07:47 PM

Oh right , I recently just spray painted my exhaust can black with some high heat paint. 2 coats of that. Now my bike looks more current without the fancy designs. =P

I didn't want to get a new exhaust bcuz then i may have to rejet and all. How did you cut yours? was it easy?

Mountain Dew · March 30th, 2012, 12:26 AM

Rigged up a bracket for my rearsets. Rode around the block. They're soooo much better than stock pegs with clip-ons.

All I did was cut the bottom off then take the baffles out cut about a 4 inch piece off rewelded the bottom back on just make sure you cut the weld when you take the bottom off so when you reweld it has a clean look then just put it back on I never have to rejett it or nothing I thought I was going to have to took it to the shop and they told me everything was good now I have a decent growl to it if I can figiure out how Ill post a video of it

JK...I wish! Although, I did talk the hubby into going to the dealership to "just see how much monthly payments would be". In hopes he'll give in.

Is $189ish the norm for monthly payments?

Mountain Dew · March 30th, 2012, 11:55 PM

I'm down for a ride, but I get off work (right down the road from wendys) at 300 or maybe a bit later, depending on how many bikes we have to put away.

Sound Wave · March 31st, 2012, 05:13 AM

i am　in　japan　until　next week thursday. i may be able to go next　weekend if you guys go and i am not jetlagged.

finally got to see and sit on the honda vfr1200. nice bike, but i doubt that will be my next bike. it is a bit too large. nice that it still has the v4 engine like my bike and that it now has a driveshaft.

schultzy808 · March 31st, 2012, 07:59 AM

Im down if get my bike back in time getting services done on them

Gorilla25 · March 31st, 2012, 09:52 AM

Can always take your other one out

schultzy808 · March 31st, 2012, 10:43 AM

TRUE hey you know about the ninja electrical I know the stock turn signal takes a 12v 10w bulb I purchased aftermarket that takes 12v 21w bulb but they wont blink or nothing just makes a crazy sound but when I go back to stock they work fine I was told I needed a load equalizer if I run leds is it the same if I run aftermarket bulbs

kenji_808 · March 31st, 2012, 10:51 AM

running leds is different though because leds dont need as much wattage as the stock bulbs so its seems like your bulb is out. so you add resistors to trick the electrical system to think that the leds are drawing enough power.

this only happens because the turn signal wiring goes thru one indicator bulb and not seperate indicators on the dash like a car or my 08 cbr.

your aftermarket signals needs to draw twice as much power than stock. so thats a totally different issue you got

Gorilla25 · March 31st, 2012, 01:17 PM

Maybe a diff relay...

@kenji_808: send chris and drew(yellow drz) a txt and see if they can come too. I dont have their numbers

kenji_808 · March 31st, 2012, 01:24 PM

chris's bike is in pieces right now he's preping it to get painted

I figured it was something like that my 06 cbr was easy just plugin this has got me confused I dont know how to make it push more without blowing the fronts maybe a resistor would work I never delt with small bikes so this is all a learning curve for me
