for a bike with loud pipes (the argument notwithstanding), what would be reasonable for a decibel limit at say...45 mph? if u can hear the bike at 1,600+ feet, is that too loud?

I just bought a 2003 Chevrolet 2500 HD, it has a plow package on it and I also purchased a Diamond 8' plow (w/ lights, etc). I've never plowed before and am new to the whole thing.

Are there any tips you can give me so I don't make more work than I have to when I plow? (i.e. plowing my garage door in, etc).

Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Matt

I just recently bout my 05 chevy cobalt 2-door LS and I LOVE IT!! however i did purchase it from a shistey dealer and I have owned the car for almost 2 months now, and I was just curious about the shifting. It is a automatic and i have noticed it shifts a little hard going from 1st to 2nd gear but any gear after that i dont even feel it when it shifts.....

an ideas? is that normal? if not how do i fix it or what needs to be fixed...?

and I dont know if it matters any but it only has 33k miles onit and i bought it with 32k miles on it...

Recently bought a 5.9 V8 Ramcharger, (1978), and on the drive home, the motor threw a rod. Cant say i didnt expect it, the engine looks terrible. anyhow, I found, i believe an 86 with a 5.2...

Though im not sure if the crank is a 6, or 8 bolt..

Would i be able to just drop this engine right in and go? or..?


Thanks.

I have bought a ticket back home for the weekend from uni (Nottingham to London) but now my plans have changed and I need to get off at a stop before London. Does anyone know if the tickets barriers at the station will let me through, if the person on duty will let me through or will I have to buy another ticket?

It seems silly buying a whole new ticket if I've paid to go all the way to london anyway...

If someone leaves a leaflet or note under the windscreen wiper of your car is this actually legal, do they have the right to touch/move parts of your vehicle in that way?

I am looking to buy a new truck and did some research on what my current truck is worth. I can make about 3K more if I sell it out right instead of trading it in to the dealer. I am not sure of the taxes invovled. I have always traded in and never sold on my own. If I were to sell, I would sell before I buy so I could put the extra money toward lowering the financing amount. What would be the best route for me to take?

I have been told that air cooled two strokes (chainsaws, weedwhacekrs, some motorcycles, etc) take a different premix oil than water-cooled two strokes (snowmobiles, boat motors) because of the difference in operating temperatures.
However when I look at the labels, they all have the exact same designations, I believe it is TC3.
So what is the story? Are all good quality two stroke oils suitable for different applications?
I've used them interchangeably with no troubles, am I just lucky so far or is there really a difference?
thanx

im spending way too much money on gas. its about $100 bucks a week. let me tell you my daily schedule. girlfriend is off work so we wake up to take her 4 year old son to go to school. but first we have to stop over her sisters house to pick up her kids to drop them off. now its on the way so no big deal. according to mapquest, thats a 20 min , 6 mile drive. considering the fact that its in philadelphia and all the traffic lights, add more minutes to that. then we go back home. then we have to go back out so my girl can take me to work. thats 22 min, 8.82 miles. then she takes car back home. runs her errands. take has to go pick up son from school. then goes back home. then comes back out to pick me up from work. then we go back home. is all this driving what is causing me to use up $100 worth of gas a week.

I have just started ground school and will begin taking flying lessons soon, working towards a private pilot's license. I was looking in buying a new headset for myself and was wondering if any of you any good recommendations for a first time pilot. The price range I am looking for is between $0-$250.
Thanks for your input!

I always wonder this when on a train. Trains take so long to slow down, sometimes a mile away from the station, how do they know the point to pick so they get into the station without over-shooting? Has anyone known a train to overshoot its station? What happens then, surely it cannot reverse!

I was driving on a two lane road yesterday and the speed limit is 45mph. There was a car in front of me going slow, so I decided to pass him. When I was passing him/her a car coming from a side street was making a right turn ( which meant it was going to come at me head on) I saw the turning car not really stop at the stop sign so I layed on my horn, he went off into the grass and I finished my pass. Now my question is, if he hit me, whos fault would that have been.? MIne even thou I was doing a legal pass or his who did not look both ways even thou he really only need to look one way
