I just wanted to issue a general apology for anyone who got a random invite from me for my LinkedIn Profile. I hit next too many times too quickly and it accidentally added EVERYONE I’ve ever contacted via my personal gmail account, which is a LOT of people. This includes anyone who ever e-mailed me just to say “nice mosaic” in response to my star wars mosaic, as well as people I actually did...

This was much more enjoyable, and felt like it would produce better results. We started the process by using the current Jackpot fender as a base. This was the key different, most of the other stuff was relatively similar. We used saran wrap to completely mask off the fender, and painter’s tape to get the seams. On top of the clear saran wrap we used spray adhesive to hold long strand fiberglass mat in...

The aftermath. So, I ended up undoing a lot of what I had done. Go figure, all the DIY articles on the topic I read online were right, but I had to try improving their method otherwise I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. As it turns out, the sleeves got REALLY hot, resulting in my shutting off the clothing before the rest of me was warm, but that wasn’t too big of a problem. The biggest problem...

Got the blanket today! Stripped the inner lining: So I stripped out all the wire, which took a little while but it wasn’t all that bad. I’ve managed to pull out the wire, go out to radio shack and buy 1/4″ Mono phono jacks (3 males, 3 females), and get cheap black weave gloves from K-mart. So far total price of this project is $37, and I’m nearly done. Here’s all the cable woven...

I decided I was going to buy the gerbings heated gloves this winter season, because that’s the part of my body that REALLY needs it. After pricing out my setup, I then decided there must exist a cheaper way, and I must figure out a way to do it. So i bought a heated blanket off amazon for $25.00, (used filler items to reach 25 for free shipping). The heated blanket I picked out is a travel blanket, so...

After the very good lesson and loss of Part I, it took us a bit to get started on the second fender. One of the big problems with the first attempt was the gap left by the back of the seat to the front of the fender. Since we made the fender right on the rails it went low, unlike the stock fender which bows up to make a much rounder shape, which also fills the gap. I don’t really know why we didn’t...

Part I was a complete bust, but here is what we did and how we failed. Don’t worry, part II is far more promising so I’ll keep this short. So the ultimate goal was to create a fender that showed off a lot more of the rear tire on the Victory Vegas Jackpot (it’s got a 250mm wide rear, stock). If you’re not into bikes, then I suppose you won’t get this, but the rear end was just...

I’m sad to say I didn’t even check to see what this website looked like in iexplore, but man is it awful…Curiously, I did test it in chrome, and it works just as well there, but man iexplore does NOT get a long with CSS! I have no idea what microsoft’s problem is, maybe it’s just me, I’m pretty sure I’m still using ie6, and I think it’s on version 9 now or something?...

I did it again, and I don’t know how I was so stupid. I was trying to bump start (push start) my friend’s motorcycle, a CBR 600RR. I’m not used to sportbikes, and I’ve only ever push started one bike before. I was not wearing my gear, that was my first mistake. My second mistake was attempting this at all. After trying to push start it unsuccessfully about 5 times in second gear, I decided...
