I manage a shop and my buddy wants a quote on changing out the input shaft in his T56. Has anybody done this and how much bench time did it take roughly? Anything will help thanks.

Hey guys, I decided to post this question in here since most of the people browsing in the Donut Shop are informed. I just bought a motorcycle off of ebay in Tennessee and sent the deposit via paypal. The owner called me and informed me that he has a loan through Yamaha credit so he...

Hey Gents, we just found out that my father (62) has to have open heart surgery. It was a complete shock, he is in great shape, has always been very active (he even teaches Nutrition and Fitness at University of Vermont). He went in for a routine stress test last week, and they found...

Hey guys, I manage a transmission shop and I am talking to a customer with a '01 Cobra who wants to upgrade his tranny to a t56. Has anybody done this? What's involved? How much did it cost you? What should I recommend in your opinion? Any help would be great!!! Thanks, Nick

I was just watching a crash on Break.com and it looked so horrific that I did a little research and since it was in Costa Rica, there wasn't alot of info.... If it is true, RIP Jeremy and they should definitely take it off the internet out of respect IMO.... Hopefully this isn't a repost.

First off, let me shine some light on my situation. I'm a single 28 yr old who makes 55k/year, has a 6-month old son with my ex and just got out of a mediation room at the courthouse. I have joint legal custody but allowed her physical custody for agreement on increased overnights as he gets...

I pay $110/week for Blue Cross Blue Shield for just me; 28yr old healthy male. I'm curious to see how much everyone on here pays per month for their health care. I go through Awayn a group for aftermarket automobile repair facilities.

Hello all, I'm currently at my desk tired and wiery. Yesterday, my cousin and aunt were test-driving a new car when he lost control, crossed the center-line and killed an elderly couple instantly. He and my aunt have been fighting for their lives all night long in intensive care recovery...

I'm trailering my bike with a few buddies out to Sturgis, SD for Bike Week and wondered if anyone has ever been or is going...I'm looking forward to a crazy time. What should I expect?

Hey all, I'm selling my '05 R6 with 4300 miles on ebay w/no reserve. The item number is 260024606243. There's a great discription of the bike and 24 pictures also. I posted a thread a while back about some tickets I got with the bike and that trouble is why I'm selling it. The bike has a few...

Last night, I installed a new pipe on my '05 R6 and I figured I would take it for a quick cruise to see how it sounds. I went a few miles out of town on an open stretch of road, saw no cars behind me or coming, so I banged it through 3rd gear, and at the top of 3rd, slowed down and looked in my...

Last evening on the interstate on the way home from work, I crept up on a sonic blue '03 or '04 Cobra. All I could tell he had for mods was an exhaust. I pulled even with him and since there wasn't any traffic, we slowed a little from highway speed. He motioned to me with his fingers and...

Like the title says, am I the only guy that has to surrender the T.V. every time Desperate Housewives is on? Eva Langoria is hot, but come on, chicks turn into fiens over this show. What gives???

Has anyone noticed that in Vermont (where I live), a Judge gave a man that had been raping a little girl repeatedly for 4 years a 60 day prison sentence?!? Tonight, the're discussing it on the O'reilly Factor. I can't believe that my uncle went to jail for 30 days for his second DWI and a...

I manage an automotive repair facility in Burlington, VT. Last April, my company towed in a '87 Ford F-250 pickup after the owner called and requested we do so. He stated that the transmission was making very excessive noise. We diagnosed and found that it had internal damage and we...

Hello everyone, I went to write a check last week and couldn't find my checkbook. I always leave it in my glove-compartment of my car. I called my bank the following morning and they asked me about the last checks I had written and when the last time I had the check book for sure was. The...

It was only a matter of time before the officials of the Tour De France tried to ruin the Armstrong Legacy....I found this on MSN Today For the first time — and these are no longer rumors or insinuations, these are proven scientific facts — someone has shown me that in 1999, Armstrong had...

I am selling my '01 929 with no reserve on EBAY if anyone is interested in it, the item # is 4565570752. It has some minor cosmetic damage, but overall is in good condition, a clean title, and aftermarket undertail, slip-on and turn signals. The front tire is brand new, but rear has 20% tread...

Where could I find a good street racing dvd? I have found hundreds of motorcycle videos, but no decent car ones.

I , like many people have been un-fair in my opinions of police officers, but I'd like to share something that happened monday night. I was just pulling in on my motorcycle to relax @ home for the night when my visiting cousin came running out of the house in a panic. Turns out, he went...

I was just on my way to Lunch and the Ford Dealership next to me was unloading a black-with-silver stripes ford GT. I was amazed at how low and wide it appeared in person! Because I use to sell cars there, they let me sit in it, but everyone else wanted a turn, so I didn't have much time to...

I have come to the realization that my 929 is far too much bike for me. Being 5'9'' 165 pounds, it comes up way too easily. The bike is very, very fast for me. Its mods are: micron full exhaust, k&N filter, new bridgestone rear tire, and it is also geared down. Some cosmetics are done, but...

Is it true that cops have quotas to meet as far as traffic tickets go? I've always wondered why the police concentrate so much effort on playing traffic chapperones. Here in Vermont, there are like 4 murders per year and very little overall crime, so maybe they just give out tickets for the...
