Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by ToesNose on 04/16/13 at 13:51:05 The guy with the Uhaul style trailer seemed to fall for no reason :o I've never riden a bike up a ramp and never plan on it, I've walked them up ramps with no issue with friends helping....never even considered riding it up :-? |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by engineer on 04/16/13 at 16:57:14 Putting those planks on the side for your feet helps, that would have saved some of those guys. But a lot of them seem to loose it when their bike bottoms out at the top of the ramp. Anyway I am going to keep Al's technique in mind in case I ever feel foolish enough to try it. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by verslagen1 on 04/16/13 at 18:39:26 That's the difference between riding a torque monster and a high rev'n gotta go fast to have any power bike. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by ZAR on 04/16/13 at 18:41:50 The first mistake I see most of the folks in the video make is not securing the ramp. I tie my ramps down with a ratchet strap from the ramp to the underside of the bumper anytime I'm loading rolling stock,running or not. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by v-pilot on 04/16/13 at 21:49:34 I just use a rear entry wheelchair van...low, low ramp, easy to push into and 4 tie down points inside...works great. My truck is a pain, gotta look for a shallow ditch to lower the back end to keep 'em from bottoming out |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by justin_o_guy2 on 04/16/13 at 22:51:18 Too much angle between ramp & truck bed, high centering the bikes,, just stewpid,,& instead of having someone FILMING,, how about lay the blasted Camera DOWN & help me? Americans are such an embarrassment. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by houstonbofh on 04/16/13 at 23:52:35 I have loaded many bikes into many trucks... And never once was an engine running... |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 04/20/13 at 19:50:11 Okay, had to download it to my hard drive but I was finally able to watch it. I reckon that's what happens when your on a practically antique lap top. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by Steve H on 04/21/13 at 03:17:20 I liked the roo hit too. He just got up and took off again like it was nothing. Looks like most of those guys, if they knew how to keep the front wheel down, would be just fine. |

(I like the LTS releases for stability, so 12.04) With the new Software center, you search for something and then click. It is like an app store, but easier, and often free. |

My experience with this whole puppy linux and what not has been nothing short of awful. If its a lap top, I now a days dont want to run anything like unix on it. It somehow never fails to fail. Of course if its a throwaway do what you want to it ... Cool. Srinath. |

I've got a modern less then a year ago manufactured to my specs Laptop that runs Linux with no issue at all. All items for my laptop have drivers available in Linux. Then again it's not a POS off the shelf HP,Toshiba, Gateway, etc, etc....... It's a custom built to my specs machine based off a clevo P170EM chassis. I dual boot with Ubuntu 10.04LTS all the time on this laptop. The reason I have not moved beyond Ubuntu 10.04LTS is I hate the direction they have gone with the GUI, I know you can replace most of it with others like cinnamon and such, but I'll stick with the older Gnome that I've grown to love over the years. I use Linux as much as I do Winblows. It just depends on what I'm working on at the time as to which OS I'm booted into Mainly on the Laptop I do my Android O/S coding in Linux and some other coding as well. There are also other things I do in Linux with the Laptop as everyday things but find some thing such as gaming more viable in Winblows then in Linux right now, but I see that is starting to change finally and I might be able to dump Winblows for good in the next year or 2. I've been running servers as well for years online at colo sites and I use mainly CentOS on those, but here the past 2 years I have tried WinBlows 2008R2 as a server for my house, but my server MB is starting to have issues so when I rebuild it, I'm going back to Linux like I'm used to for running servers. I just wish I could lay my hands on a at least 1 fully managed decent gigabyte switch with 10gb up-links on it for way less then $1500 to support my network in the house. You would be surprised at how much bandwidth streaming 1080P movies takes when your doing it to 4 tv's at one time. My Raid supports the speed no problem it's the network that's the bottle neck at this time. I just can't afford to get any switches with 10GB up-links on them. R.F. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by srinath on 04/21/13 at 20:25:43 I have never tried it on any POS that wasn't thrown together from spare parts we had lying round or was under 10 years old ... or both. On paper it all looked like it will run one of em barebones Unix lookalikes. Try it and you'd find 100 varieties of fail. Of course surrounded by unix snobs is no place to find actual help in getting a working unix lap top. Like you try to repair a bicycle @ a motorcycle shop ... they'd laugh at you and suggest you fit a motor to it, that kind. Cool. Srinath. |

Title: Re: Upsie Daisy... Post by Yonuh Adisi FSO on 04/21/13 at 20:41:18 Just so ya'll know, the laptop I am referring to is an old HP Omnibook 6000. When this machine came out Windows 2000 was the latest and greatest OS. I got this thing for 35 bucks off of ebay it needed a new hard drive which I bought and installed and then installed 2000 server. It has a little 900mhz processor and only 256meg of ram. She works really well for basic stuff and cruising the net but I would like to get just a bit more out of it. |

I would download a live distro of Ubuntu or some other variant and see if it will load all the necessary drivers for your laptop. Even the more bloated Linux distro's are far less demanding on your computer then just about all the Winblows OS's out there. R.F. |
