For ducks sake @Tonik, Ive banned maybe 3 people (probably all spammers) in the YEARS that I've been mod and you waltz in here and have a contest for it.

Holy shit. I think you just described almost ten years of OR history in one post.

The only active Harley guy gets banned

I honestly do not miss those intro threads. Not in the slightest.

it has been a looooong time since i have logged in here.....almost 4 years!!! got into rchelicopters real thick!! took a break from MCs looky at what i recently picked up!!!! its like a dream!!!!!!!!

Thank you to those who have/are serving in our military. Thank you to all our first responders. Happy 4th of July

Hope everyone is having a safe and happy 4th.

This was lame. You can do better Tonik

7 years later and YouTube still caches on me. Thanks Obama.

This is how I feel about it. Any iof the motorcycle specific ones are good now. So pick tour features. For me the huge one would be the ability to create routes in a computer, then transfer them over. Preferably from google maps.

Made it home ok this morning

Well that was anticlimatic

LOL @ the overgrown babies -- that doesn't change no matter what your field is. You mention sports cars, motorcycle, RC cars, etc -- are you passionate about automotive, or tech, or both, or..? That will determine what type of engineering you should pursue. Do you like soldering PCBs, designing stuff with CAD, reading wiring schematics, programming PLCs, or writing DFMEAs/specifications? Are you okay with handling ridiculous requests from management and offering solutions that aren't necessarily the right way to fix things, but an acceptable bandaid that meets the cost and timing for the project? Can you handle re-direction, after you've worked on something for 3 months that just gets scrapped? If you could pick a company to work for in an engineering capacity, who would it be and why do you have that perception of that company? Are you willing to relocate? Detroit is looking for a ton of automotive engineers to do things. I get at least 3 e-mails a week to relocate there for 20-30% more money (and probably 20-30% more hours), and California -- because my skillset is very hot in the techspace right now, but I'm not willing to relocate at the moment. If you're in the same boat, you've capped your income to your living area and whatever engineering jobs can be done there. As I mentioned above, you also need to figure out if you're going to chase money or time. Do you take less money than your marketable skillset to maintain 40-45hrs / week? Or do you love the money so much that you're putting 60+hrs in a week at a company that pays you well? Most engineers, at least in the automotive industry, really don't get the 40-45hr week, though some companies are getting better about that. YMMV.

And the Epic Trip is over. 4,258 miles. There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

My theory is the way I ride. I am much more aggressive uphill than down. So I was throttle on between the switchbacks. Going down I was just engine braking in second. So much soother.

Well I've been a dad for a week and it's kinda awesome. Just need my other baby girl to come home from the hospital

The system performed exactly as it was designed and capable. People that don't work in this field give WAY too much credit to the capabilities of these systems since they work over the vast majority of use cases. People start (inapporpriately) trusting the systems, and then you have people watching Harry Potter DVDs when they really need to be babysitting their SEMI-autonomous vehicle.

Nice Gump, forgot to tell you i fixed my riding mower...took off the valve cover and found broken rocker arm. less than $100 in parts and gaskets and she is good as new.

He rides a metric couch. He is basically the worst, second only to the scooter loving half wit half breeds.

Maybe she wasn't done with that last text msg so she couldn't stop beforehand?

I'm really gonna enjoy banning one of you asshats.

a little lower, and you got yourself a full on roman helmet, replete with asshat

Gary Johnson is on the ballot in all 50 states.

I'd love to see America quit fucking around and literally nobody votes for either of them and only vote for write Ins

How i spent my weekend. 34 miles on the Alleghany river. We do this trip every year exploring different parts of the river. Camp on the islands. Except for the major suburn (even applying SPF50 multiple time)s and the 90F+ heat, it was another awesome year! Time to start planning next years trip.

We'll talk soon young grasshopper, Im kinda a big deal round here. I just need things to stand on

This is the only forum that you have to beg to get banned.... All the others you just insult someone and you're gone. Here you insult someone and you get rep. But asking for rep gives you neg rep. So please don't say my name because my dad wrecked my bike now it LBTS GLWS while flapping my arms going $1.80 Down the highway because someone was sucking a midget at a bonfire asking Casper WTF...

MT aka @MidgetTodd is the forum midget he pulls out during epic rides (2xs). The butt thing is... We had a few whores that ended up just sluts that were butt hurt and left. Now we are all just a bunch of forum post whores.

no, it's his whore house..... Post whores...

There may be a 3 day WV ride scheduled in early August.
