    Need help replacing battery in Yamaha Seca

    Okay thanks...I'll try that. The old battery actually had what looked like a threaded metal screw into the top of it so it did throw me for a loop. The new battery has the typical pos and neg terminals. I'm sure it was a mod that the previous owner did. I just don't get why and what the...

    Need help replacing battery in Yamaha Seca

    I'm hoping somebody can help.... My son changed out the battery in his '81 Seca and realized there is a wire that was jumped for the ignition. The wire (not the positive or negative) was attached to the old battery by a screw on top. The new battery does not have this feature. Where should...

    ugh cagers...

    Ahhhh that's not fair...I've come across just as many men in an SUV or a retarded Dodge Ram P/U who think they own the road because they're bigger than anyone alse. I know..I know..hubby keeps reminding me that stats show it is mostly crazy women drivers. :( I'm glad you gave her the tongue...

    I hate this! (warning - rant)

    Oh man definitely avoid the grippy ball...even those without injuries will be in pain because it's not something we're used to. Is there swelling? Then ice it but no more than 10 minutes at a time. No swelling? Then warm rice bag it and again for no more than 10 minutes at a time. I also...

    WTF is with these cagers

    I'm coming up to my turn with my left signal on and this van that has a STOP sign decides he only needs to do a rolling stop. I've started my left hand turn and instead of stopping he completely disregards the fact I'm there and swerves to avoid broadsiding me and then just keeps...

    I'm going to knock out the next person who...

    My philosophy is very simple.... When it is my time, it is my time whether I'm walking, sleeping, driving a car, or riding my bike! Riding my bike makes me a much better driver because instead of being complacent in my vehicle, falsely thinking I'm safe, I am now watching everyone and...

    Identity Theft!!!???

    I'm sorry not to sound bitchy but I find it hard to believe that neither police in the States or Canada are willing to do anything in regards to this. This was FRAUD!!!! Since when is nothing done about fraud? My hubby and I just had 800 dollars stollen out of our account because someone...

    WTF is up with Cycling Groups??

    Well on Sunday morning shortly before 8 am, a small group of cyclists were run down in the bike lane up in Ottawa. All five were hit and one has not come out of unconciousness. He suffered massive brain injuries. They did this every weekend and participated in triathalons. Some idiot, I'm...

    I was driving through town yesterday on my way home from work and there was a cager in front of me and some jerk pulled out in front of him making a left...the cager in front of me hit his brakes and as I saw the original guy do this I immediately slowed down big time. What I didn't expect was...

    Cop abusing taser...can you say power trip?

    I also have my window down and all paperwork in hand before the officer reaches the side of my vehicle. If my window is frozen then my door is opened and as soon as he can see that I have nothing in my hand to hurt him then he can at that point stop being a total prick to me and start treating...

    Cop abusing taser...can you say power trip?

    I agree that we need to be polite especially when we've broken the law but.... I was pulled over in the middle of winter just after leaving work for a routine stop. My window was frozen so I opened the door. The cop jumped back and grabbed at his pistol. I told him him to settle down my...

    Cop abusing taser...can you say power trip?

    I also agree.....but Police Officers are trained to diffuse situations not provoke attacks. I saw the video of the 72 year old lady when it first came out and the PO clearly ignited a situation that was not neccessary. I don't know if it is law to sign these tickets in the US but seriously...
