I would like to buy my first motorcycle and am looking at the Yamaha WR250X or similar bikes. I live in Hawaii and travel on the highway to work (60 mph speed limit) for about 20 min and then city speeds for about 10 min. I am looking at it for the great mileage that it gets and the fact that I will be a new rider. I have taken the driving class and gotten my motorcycle endorsement. I am a bigger guy at 6'4" 220, think this bike is to small? I was also looking at the BMW F800GS or F650GS but they are pretty pricey and I do not want to drop a nice bike since I am a new driver (its gonna happen as i have been told). Thanks for the help.

i'm looking at a place to rent and it doesn't have a stove. the landlord said its cause the top flor, which is a separate apartment, has a stove. and that zoning requirements wont allow him to put one in. any idea if this could be true, or is he just cheap? this place is in Kaneohe, HI.

my friend has a ford escort (zx2?) and it has been running rough at idle and rougher at idle in gear. heard it might be some kind of vacuum problem, any idea what it is in more detail? they replaced the plugs and wire about 3 years ago i think and it shouldn't be time to replace them yet.

i bought a silver plated goblet from a thrift store today and thought i got the best looking one, but on the inside of the cup the silver appears to be flaking off? from what i can find most people think when this happens its some kind of lacquer. but i think its the actual silver, any ideas what it really is and if it can be fixed? not really concerned about using it, just looks cool, especially for 11 bucks.

i like to work out later in the day, usually around 730 to 8. by the time i'm done i clean up and pretty much go to bed. so which should i use after my work out? casein or whey protein? i guess i usually wait about 30 min to an hour before i actually go to bed.

ok so my 98 blazer's ac dosent work, it hasn't worked for 2 years and we didn't really need it. but now i live in hawaii and want some ac. i turned on the ac and i noticed the pump never came on. so i'm guessing its electrical, i tried checking the relay but since its been a while since auto shop i cant quite remember how to do it, but between contacts 1 and 2 its 85 ohms, i compared it to another one and it was the same. i also swapped the relays with the horn and it worked on the horn circuit. any ideas on what else to check and how to do it?

i'm gonna start doing p90x and also plan on doing the diet plan with it, it gives some tips on what you can substitute things with a protein drink. but i was wondering when would be the best time to have it, some one suggested using it as a morning shake or having it right after a work out. even as a meal replacement. any help is appreciated.

i just moved out of my apartment. it was in a house and the bills where all split up mostly evenly. the gas bill is in one of the other tenants name. during our stay there we would ask for thats months bill and she would always say its taken care of. now that we moved out she wants us to pay for the bill, not just the last months that we where there but the whole years worth. i feel that we legaly do not need to pay for it but i want to make sure. i dont know if being in the coast guard helps at all due to the soldiers and sailers act, but i'm in the coast guard. thanks for the help.
