The tire is fairly old and the tread is pretty worn but there seems to be enough tread for a few more months. My real concern is that the tire appears to go concave toward the middle of the tire. Is this a sign of internal seperation or something else?

Basically I just did a very complex deal where there was trading of cars and money and stuff, and a motorcycle 2007 Suzuki GSX-R 600 was left to me as colateral. And to make a long story short, he didnt do what he said he was going to do and i need to sell the bike. Well, the thing is I lost the key. Is there ANYWAY at all I can get a key for it. Is there like something I can stick in the ignition cylinder to make a copy of it? Or a way I can take it apart to get a mold made? Because I don't want to part it out, because it a beautiful machine. But, I need the money soon.

Thanks a million,
James

I am looking into getting my first motorcycle, and was wondering what kinds are the best for what I want. I rode a Honda Rebel that I really liked, but I was told that they only go about 45 mph so I wouldn't be able to go on the interstate with it. Can anyone tell me about some bikes that are similar in style, size, and weight, that can be driven on the interstate?

I have a 78 camaro that I am freshening the interior up in, the plastic panel on the dash that houses the heater controls and the ash tray was cracked, so I replaced it, I didnt have much trouble but the two screws that hold the panel to the dash that screw in above the heater controls stripped out the holes they go into, I made sure that the screws that came out went back in the same spot so I must have over tightened them, they were plastic holes so it was easy to do, what part of the dash do those screws go into? am I going to have to replace that or can I repair the screw holes? Any help would be much appreciated.

I'd rather not tell you who the last person was to change the oil in my car was (me), but this weekend my oil plug fell out while cruising at a good pace and i didn't realize what happened until i got off the highway.
I plugged it, filled it (98 civic dx, 140k miles) with high mileage oil to try to get the benefit of the additives to help the seals and rings. I have no tach, but at a certain RPM (about 27MPH in 2nd gear, above 65 in 5th), I hear a pinging or knocking noise. if I stay under that point and shift early, it sounds normal and idles normal. I've also noticed the pinging/knocking only sounds when i am on the throttle, like if I downshift and the RPMs are at the same point as when I accelerate and hear the noise, I do not hear it when the engine's naturally winding down.
My last observation is my breaks feel stiffer, as if the vacuum for the power breaks doesn't have as much of a pull. (loss of compression?)

Other than the simple fact that your car won't start... are there any guidelines on replacing the battery? My car seems fine, it's sometimes a little bit slow in starting, but never have I had to try to start it more than once... and my dad checked my oil for me the other day and said, have you ever gotten a new battery? and i was like, um i dont know. I am a woman, and I do take care of my car (regular oil changes, maintenance, and tire rotations/new tires) but I don't know about the battery! I thought the maintenance guys check those things out, but I guess not. I think it was maybe changed when I got in an accident in october 2004, but my dad said it still said Honda battery like from the factory... Well anyways to get to the point (sorry i like to talk) I have 120 thousand miles on the car... is it time for a new battery? Thanks
