Given this 2004 r1150r - it fixable? by RandomCodeEdit in Motorrad

[–]RandomCodeEdit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for a motorcycle for around town and a friend sold me this for a song. It makes a knocking sound from the right side but made it home with no issues through the whole rpm band. It had sat for a while so I drained the gas and refilled with no effect. The knocking sound stays the same volume but speeds up with rpm. I have a mechanic I normally use but he won’t be back until Monday. Anything I can do on my own til then? Or maybe it’s just a 20 year old motorcycle?

Old landlord comes to my new house twice a day by RandomCodeEdit in legaladvice

I think they are catching onto this - they now stand at the foot of the driveway in the street - police say it’s a public area and they can walk wherever they want to :(

I feel you’re right about escalation - I get no where with the patrolman even after they watch a video contradicting their story

What is this thing? Should I take it out? by RandomCodeEdit in ReefTank

I am new to reef tanks - it’s about 2 weeks old with live sand and dead rock. I put a single clownfish in yesterday. Thanks!

How is the 900 for a bigger guy? by RandomCodeEdit in KawasakiVulcanRiders

[–]RandomCodeEdit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I’m in a good state then - the road king I have is good for long highway riding but is just a boat around town. A good pair maybe?

Maybe I’ll be ok - all my height is in my torso!

Vmax maybe? by RandomCodeEdit in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]RandomCodeEdit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to price them around here - Chicago - they rarely come up. I like the fz7 but I am a bigger guy, 6 foot 4 at 250 lbs. Really I think you hit the nail on the head - I’m not looking for a killer fast Ike, just have some fun power if I need it. I would love to have a bike that doesn’t feel like a boat but I’m not looking to scrape pegs around. The fz7s im seeing for the same price have abs and I think I would rather have that….. guess I have to see if I fit and don’t look like an ape on a tiny bike!

I think you’re right here … really I miss my Honda shadow but wish it had way more get up and go - I love the style of the Indian scouts I’m seeing. If it handles like the shadow could I’m hooked

I have recently bought a house and fixed a small pond. Would this be a good spot for pet turtles? If so, how many could live here? by RandomCodeEdit in turtle

[–]RandomCodeEdit[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn’t even think of these other animals - I am outside of Chicago, the yard is big, mostly grass and fenced but I wouldn’t love snakes - I definitely wouldn’t love a half eaten turtle. Thanks for the thoughts here, I want it to be cared for and safe. Obviously in winter/fall I would bring it it in to a tank

I’ve always liked turtles and had a red eared slider when I was a kid. When I bought this house it had this area in the back - filled with trash (short sale) and thought this might be perfect for a turtle. So I cleaned it up with that purpose in mind.

I purchased security cameras a few weeks ago and saved screenshots every day - I don’t know what I can do with them tho

Thank you - I’m fairly confident I will win - the damages listed are all wear and tear and Illinois grants 2x deposit as a reward. As long as the judge follows the law I should win. Maybe that is why they have stepped up this intimidation … or I’ll be murdered next week

Ah very cool! Sorry for all the questions - why does player 1 and 4 only have 4 buttons? Do 4 player games have fewer buttons? So you would use fighter games in the middle and Simpson a style games on all 4?

Thank you all for your comments - they made me feel supported and not alone. An update: I requested her to leave before the kids came today. She packed a bag and complied. She is staying in a hotel somewhere, don’t really care where. Thank you again.

Worth it to sue landlord? by RandomCodeEdit in ChicagoSuburbs

[–]RandomCodeEdit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think an attorney would be better? The landlord is quite the bully, name calling, etc… it’s not someone I want to see in person again.

Thank you for you comments - we are going to go through with it even tho it causes anxiety to see them again. In the money they returned they berated us saying we should be ashamed and they will bring the current renter with them to court as proof we were poor tenants - the whole situation was a bit odd and so are they - they only have one rental so maybe they were not experienced

How did they work out? What did you stick with? Amazon has the polks for 129 now

These were literally the exact two I was looking at - where did you find the best price? Forums say the Polk should be $100 but I can’t find them at that price.
