Maniacally laughed to myself last night on a call.. I responded to a page as an EMR in POV.
Pt was 6'5", 320 pounds, on the second floor and the rig that showed up had the old style stair chair without the tracks...
Since I wasn't on duty, I got to watch.

When I talk her into being ok with it it'll be a Daytona 675 street triple, a GSX-R750 or a Ducati 848

Because of my height, I'm basically stuck with dual-sports, even though I do almost exclusively on-road riding. Some of the larger standards are okay, but sports bikes kill my back, and cruisers are too low.

If I were to get anything it would be a dual sport... those things are badass. On another note barbecuing ribs tonight, braising them in Dr. Pepper at 350 degrees for 2 hours then on the grill they go with sweet baby rays bbq sauce

I want a dual sport... But I'm too short. Hell I'm too short for some sport bikes

Same here. I had to get a lowering kit on my dirt bike lol
Since you have a thumper, already, have you looked at the KTM Duke 690?
Pretty sharp bike, I would love one. Sits pretty high (I think 34 inches) But a 330 lb bike with 70 horses.... Think that's a little much at this time :unsure:
I wanted a dual sport actually. Just couldn't find one that fit. Then I sat on the SV650 and it... just fit... Haha. Sit position was great, legs weren't cramped. I'm browsing online now though, and I'm finding them for a decent amount cheaper... Just means I'll have to find the time to save up another 2-3 grand, since I wont be financing (which I actually wanted, since I need to build some credit up).
Moto Guzzi Griso 1200 SE Black Devil edition. Ends all as far as beauty.When I talk her into being ok with it it'll be a Daytona 675 street triple, a GSX-R750 or a Ducati 848
For a super bike... The aforementioned Duke... Just the 1290 Super Duke. Increases weight by 90 lbs... Just with 110 more horsepower...
I am a fan of the street triple, as well, though. As well as the speed triple... I like a lot of things... Anything that sounds nice and looks purty. Quickness is a plus. Lmfao

I'm not surprised. That place was just waiting to go up. So much dry brush and overgrowth.

My girlfriend basically put her foot down and said a street bike is a relationship ender after her last fatal motorcycle accident she ran.
Kinda frustrating but oh well. We'll come back to it in a couple years

I'm only 135# soaking wet, I don't need a liter+ bike lol.
My sled is about 475 wet with 165 horse power. I want to put a drag track on it and see how fast it does 0-60. I'd bet under 3 if I could get it to hook.

What the hell?? Someone needs to take me snowmobiling one of these days! Didn't realize they had that kind of power.
Well... That and I've never seen snow so... Haha

Just don't let Robb take you...
Oh, and did she finally come around, Robb? Or did you just pull a Ben and dose her up on some Ketamine? :lol:

Apparently to get to my heater core I have to pull my entire dashboard out. I'm hoping this is the issue and not something else. My car overheated, and the fluid backed up into the resivour and boiled. I figured the thermostat went while it was hot, or something got clogged... Nope. Ran water through the top of the radiator, and it flowed out freely at the bottom. Pulled the thermostat and ran water through the otherside of the top of the radiator hose, and it flowed out where the thermostat housing is so I'm pretty sure there's no clogs... It's just odd, my heater stopped blowing hot too.
I'm also pretty sure it's not the head gasket since there's no smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe, and no milky residue on the fill cap :/

Are you able to just bypass the heater core itself? Connect the input/in flow tube directly to the output/out flow tube?
Should be able to find out if that's the issue. And with it being SoCal you don't really need a heater.

That's what happened to my first car. 150k+ miles. Turned on the heater one day and the inside was filled with a fine white dust. Checked the radiator later and it was empty. The mechanic found a pretty good hole in the heater coil and we just bypassed it with no problems.

Surgery scheduled for 4/9. They've got it slated as arthroscopic but they're going to have to take a looksie right off the bat and make sure.
Of course I had to tear the rare part of it that ends up injured...the part that's covered by the scapula. Hurray!
You have to have a working AC condenser and a working heater core to live here. Hell even in the summertime you might be running your AC in the day then need your heat at night. Gotta love living in the high desert.

The plastic quick connect on my last truck snapped and sprayed coolant over the engine. It was going to be over $100 to fix. So we just bypassed the heater core. Turned into a $5 repair.
You did check to make sure the water pump is working, right? That would be my first guess based on that presentation.
