HELL YEA.

I just filled up 3.406 gallons. I could of done 3.5 but i was already right under the bottle neck. bike never sputtered or anything.


WOOO!!

 

That is so dangerously close to running out.  Having run out of gas before, on the freeway, I try my best not to have it happen again.

Way to push it to the limit   If you rock the bike, I've discovered you can get .25 gallons extra out from under the filter.

umm.okay...

Anyway....


Myths been busted. I didnt think i had the bike THAT low on gas. I've pushed my bike to the station twice before and i still havnet filled up more than 3.1gallons until now.

I have a data log of my fuel runs for the past 3 weeks (filled up 5 times already) and I'm gonna need someone who can use excell to make a chart for me so I can throw up a tutorial on what fuel grade you should run on a 2valver. This is the furthest my tank has ever gone in city, but also my worst MPG to date since ive started logging. heh, i wonde if i can get 3.5 gallons, ill try rocker her next time.

You're such a post whore He Man 


In all seriousness, thanks for posting this up.

Open office works as well as excel and is free open source software. openoffice.org  We're using it on all the computers here, both windows and linux.

Chris

I have open office running on my unbuntu, i just dont know how to use it. 

 

you know what's coming next, right? This and this were results 2 and 3.

hahaha, yea, i should of done that.

My heads being crammed with a lot of stuff right now as far as learning how to use software goes 

Currently learning C++ and this stupid program called MATLAB, (of course for school, i would never learn this willingly!)

Do you ever try reading a book and read the page, get distracted, start reading all over again (and not realize it cause you werent even paying attention the first time you were reading it) and keep doing this for 10 minutes until you realize you havent turned the page yet?

I tried using excel to make a graph for a lab report last week.....after 5 mins, I went to my drafting table and just made one with my t-sqaure a 45. much easier. lol

hahhaha OMG I managed to totally forget MATLAB!!!! My prof for that class was miserable, too. Hmmm, what was the other software?? VHDL?

I still don't know how I got through an EE degree. I'm wicked bad ADD and made jokes about it and how I couldn't read a book. I really couldn't; not a single book was of use to me in college unless it had pretty pictures. You should go find Driven to Distraction by Hallowell and give it a read. I did 3 years ago ... sure wish I would have 10 or more years ago!! : The 1st half of that book is great at helping someone see some of the ADD traps we can run into. (2nd half of the book is old news) imho, it's worth talking to a doc and trying meds if they suggest it. they sure helped me!

Chris

meds = no.

Wtf is ADD anyway. Im not gonna say i get easily distracted, i just have a hard time focusing on stuff i dont want to do. Im not sure of the other program, but MATLAB is one make the beast with two backsing annoying ass program. But it does solve a lot of math equations, but its not like you can lug your laptop with you on a math test and use it, so i really dont give 2 rats asses.

If I had to use it to do research, yea its great (and it is the only reason i am open to learning how to use it)


and I havent had medical insurance...well since i was born. lol I am MAJOR insomia problems. hell its 3 am right now, and i swear to god i thought it was 1am. I'm not the least bit tired either. bah, caught myself going of on a tangent there lol. Anywya, No insurance = cant afford doctors = no way to get my insomnia checked out or ADD (i doubt i have it lol)

i checked around for med insurance, the cheapest shit is 1800 a year. But they wont cover sleep problems so its WORTHLESS, great coverage if your in the ER after a serious bar fight. but other wise useless, the cheapest one that will cover sleeping issues and sleep therapy is over 3grand a year.

This $5 book will help answer the question

Basically, ADD is that you've got a racecar for a brain and it hates having its time wasted and seeks the next thing to work on. Which can then lead a properly normal and healthy mind to get anxiety, depression, both, etc etc. We follow predictable paths as people to cope with situations. I have learned that basically, whatever our first reaction to handle a situation is almost always the wrong thing to do.   So at the young age of 36 or 37, I've kinda learned to think for a moment before going off on someone.

What I've found is that being ADD and unmedicated is kinda like being a meth user. Then ADD+meds is more like a normal person. But those are really lame generalizations. ADD is far more entertaining than that. Always thinking "try harder" and I can do just as good a job as others. Being mad at slackers who just don't "get it" and hating them for being a burden on society. Needing something more for it to be exciting ... like riding a motorcycle. Or anything racing. Or needing to add the ass-slappery in the bedroom. ADD can be fixating on something like a pit-bull on a bone until its done. Or it's avoiding a project even though it's there every day. Hating people that cut in line and/or you're quick to road rage. It's having shit strewn everywhere ... your room, your desk, etc, unless you actively work every day to make it orderly. Hard core bicyclists tend to be ADD.

It's pretty trippy ... just "life" amplified. The great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. No one thing really comprises ADD, it's more of having an excess of several normal human traits.

It makes me  a lot.

Oh, and talk to real doctors as well as your school about medical care, alternatives for insurance, etc. There are plenty of opportunities for those without insurance who never give up. Many health care places discount for cash or credit card payment. Given what treatment has done for me, I'd work tooth and nail to continue treatment if I lost health insurance. Some part time places give health insurance to employees... Starbucks??
