Although changing the bearings is a bit more work, it is a much cheaper fix.

I don't know... hell I fell for shit like that when I first joined the Army. When people ask technical questions I normally just help them in stead of making fun of them, but that's just me.:idk:

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I agree.

We all started somewhere, and I'm not sure why everyone hates these kids so much. Maybe they are squids, but how many of us have been uber squidly at some point?

I rode in shorts and a tank top once. :scared:

you missed out on a lot of fun then.

when we were coming out of the sandbox we had to get every vehicle inspected. I told one guy that I knew he had been racing through the desert because his shocks needed calibrated. I sent him to motor pool and they sent him to another company, they sent him to another, finally after being sent to 4 different companies he came back, wasn't very happy but it was funny as hell that so many other people went along with it.

Seriously, call Brandon at MU, tell him Tim sent you. They usually carry the ceramic bearings and sound cards in stock.

Maybe, besides that was a release of tension after the stresses of battle. This is just a way for bored desk jockeys to take advantage of someone who doesn't know any better.:idk: Almost everyone changes their exhaust to make it louder. I thought that he had a legitimate question. Especially since there are kits of this nature for some bikes. Heck, I drilled out the mufflers on my V-Max until I had the money to buy an exhaust.:lol:

Staged thread, I'm guessing.

I just put race baffles in mine and gutted the cats...seemed easier than changing the bearings and cheaper than buying the sound card. :whatwhat: :lol

In the Navy we send them to grease the relative bearing on the bridge, or to fetch a bucket of steam.

Personal favourite is when we take an old plum bob, tie some weak string to it. Tell the new guy it's a very expensive device used to test thermal layers in the water. He lowers it down over the side. It falls off. We convince him he just lost a 25,000 dollar sensor, and wait for the fun to unfold.

This guy's SOOO funny, he should have his own show! Or at least when he's 18.

Why'd you even copy that lame shot over here with Godsuki's stuff? That's like sending Pauly Shore on stage after George Carlin (RIP). :lol:

Or when you tell him to get into the barrel...:lol: Old Navy joke...

Anyway, I think that good natured work pranks are one thing but when someone comes to you for help...:idk: Hell, I just gave Derf some advice on modifying his muffler yesterday...:idk:
