    Oh man, AZ is so close to making it legal as well as filtering. I really want filtering to be legal, to avoid the threat of being rear ended at a stop light would be awesome. Lane splitting on the highway at highway speeds is just super dangerous but I'd love to lane split in traffic on surface streets or when there is a huge pileup on one of the highways. Lane splitting in CA was the shit

    I had a Honda CRB500 Deluxe for like 4 months. Was super cool and fun. If i always came home in the day light id have considered it more. But i work late often and the deer here are ridiculous..and elk at times.

    Filtering is splitting to the front of an intersection at a red light, you're always faster than a car so it doesn't get in anyone's way and it puts you where you cannot be rear ended. People in CA I've noticed don't get fired up about it anymore, seen people move out of the way to let bikes through at lights which was cool.

    Yeah if they make it legal in AZ I'll start filtering but I'd hold off on splitting until people were more familiar with the new law haha. It's most dangerous when people get road ragey about the bike passing everyone than just letting the bike guy do his thing and be outta your hair.

    I'm not so sure the plug is backwards. Is your disposal 110v or 220v? For 220 applications, the ground would be mounted towards the top, leaving the cord hanging to the bottom, unlike a 110v outlet ground, which is on the bottom. If your outlet is rated for 240v, just flip it over and remount it. I could be wrong but I think I heard someone say something about this one time. Probably at band camp...around the fire...drinking something good....I don't remember. :crazy::D

    That's a 110/120 receptacle, and plug. Often times though, one runs a 12/3 cable to the under-sink location, carrying 220/240, so that the dishwasher and disposal can each be on their own circuit (which is code).

    That's what I was thinking. Can't you just flip it over so the cord hangs though?

    Like this guy is having the opposite problem, no room for the cord to go out the bottom.

    Not to mention that's a 220v outlet and a 120v appliance.

    Probably won't be able to swing that. We are still recovering from unexpected costs. We should be in a better place after the wedding (not many people can say that).

    For sure! We went up there to help with the eagle watch at the end of December. Cool place. We will be back to grab a bite at moon time for sure.


    In the end we will probably be in central/Northern Idaho. I told them I wouldn't work South of Grangeville (well, maybe McCall). So it's either here or keep looking north in other states.

    wasn't my point. Be easier to drive around and more fun. Why Frank is so fun and also why the new truck is so fun.

    Also learned my fuel tank is much smaller than the others.

    Old school! I started on a 99f4 black and yellow. Got it at 8k miles sold it with 37k. Now I have a 2007 pearl 600rr. My best buddy had a 94 f3 in the purple and black too.

    Yep, it's old, and I like that - keeps it slower :). Blue/Black; got it at 5K miles for only $2K, now has 50K. Those RR's are nice :thumbsup:, always wanted one, but goes against my "slower" rule!

    I have 7-8 years of owning one and I’ve never had a ticket or been pulled over. Just don’t ride like a dumbass like most people do. I ride about 3k miles a year starting in March to October. My Tacoma gets 3k Miles a year bc of it too
