  1. You could remove the crank-end plug, and see if it will rotate backwards half a turn, or so. If it does and then stops again, pull the plugs like Mike said, and re-evaluate.
  2. And quite a few of them are cuss words. Poor Bird. "Boldly going where no Bird has gone before." (Or should)
  3. Hard boil some eggs on the weekend and put them in the fridge for the rest of the week. It's amazing how far two eggs will let me go before I get real hungry again. I like to put salt and pepper on them, or better yet a splash of Frank's red hot.
  4. Many foreseeable and unforeseeable ways to do that. I think the below pic shows the most likely way.
  5. Is anyone else afraid to click on that link with "leather" in the wording?😳 At least at work?
  6. What does "clean ingredients" mean? Never seen that listed as a food benefit. Sounds like pure marketing BS.
  7. Nice. "regen would flick on/off with the flash." I'm no expert, but this sounds like it could be an eye-opener on your bike.
  8. I've thought about trying the zip-tie method, but knowing what good zip-ties cost these days, I figure it's just easier to take it to a shop or go use my friends No-Mar. Him and the bike shops are 20+ miles away, so gotta add that too.🙄
  9. LOL. That was actually a joke, but I did look up the definition(s) of "aromatic" before I posted, just in case.
  10. I rode my Grom today. No tripling, or even doubling of speed limits (no school zones on my route). However, I very briefly did 10 over in a 60 zone when I caught a draft behind a pickup truck that was merging in. Thing rails in the corners though.
  11. You weren't supposed to notice. It was only picture I had of an actual person on a bike that wasn't me on my Drag Bird.
  12. If they are "aromatic", doesn't that mean they have been "cooked off", as in can't hurt me? Never mind. I would still be breathing air which is also known to cause cancer.🙄
  13. Perhaps the fuel valve fix also fixed a vacuum leak? I've only had a FI Bird, so don't know all the plumbing on a Carb Bird.
  14. I don't disagree, but most of the ones I've seen are just "removed parts", jacked up tails, or total hack jobs. This one I would ride.
  15. This builder knows what they are doing. That is the cleanest looking naked BB I have ever seen. Guessing that is a Busa front end.
  16. When I said "demand", I meant what most people want, not just what will keep them alive. However, I feel that the latter type of demand is closer than we think, but for completely different reasons.
  17. How else are they going to keep up with the food demand? Not many want to "regular" farm these days, and why would they? Very hard work for so little pay.
  18. I don't see how beef production is an "ecological disaster". Please don't show me a link to some "professional" chicken little. There's always someone who claims doom and gloom, and they almost always leave out the parts that counter-act the doom & gloom part. From an unbiased standpoint, humans are the ecological disaster. This planet can only sustain a certain population, and all the "support" we require. Interesting how "wild-life management" is readily embraced, but managing human life is unthinkable. I'm not suggesting that we start randomly exterminating humans. Just remove all the safety labels, and let nature decide.
  19. LOL. That's like saying, "If you don't go outside on a rainy day, you may not get wet." I'm not debating anything that the doctors say, but it just seems too obvious that if you eat a mostly plant-based diet, you're going to take in less fat, less simple carbs, and less calories. That should mean less fat on your body, which I believe is the key to preventing/reversing/controlling T2 diabetes. Get your weight under control, by what ever means works for you. One size does not fit all. Genetics play a big role, as well. My dad was fairly heavy, ate all kinds of crap, and even in his 80's had steady blood sugar levels. My mother didn't get T2 until she was over retirement age, and easily controlled it with oral medication and diet alone, same as my wife.
  20. Holy shit. Those are some scary thin spokes, even for CF.
  21. Yep. Time for a new valve or a re-build. Wonder if Honda still makes a repair kit?
  22. That's the ingredients for plant-based cheese? A quick google about this stuff did not entice me to consider trying it. Sounds like they still have a long way to go. If it's much cheaper than real, they might have a chance.
