  1. A woman on Next-door claimed that her neighbor was pumping poison gas into her house, many believed it. About a week later she posted about all the EMF and whatever that was attacking her, she backed her claim with meter readings. I told her that she could probably solve both problems with the assistance of a mental health provider. I'M NoT cRaZy!!!! Yea, ok.
  2. It's just a thing some stranger made that I ran across on the inter web somewhere...but yea, maybe better to not.
  3. Or snake shot. That relates to a rat trap I meant to post about, then forgot.
  4. I felt like I was porked for mounting the tires for the R5 at $40each. Their reason was that if they damaged my tubes they'd be on the hook to replace them.
  5. Full throttle. If you crash you won't even need to ice the wounds, they showed up to the roadrash party pre-chilled.
  6. That sumonabitch. I've heard that wintergreen oil is a good rodent deterrent, then you'll have some around when you need to rehab some old rubber parts.
  7. If they don't have a way to verify that everything's right they know they might find themselves in court battling the pissed off customer that "just wanted a bearing replaced"...or worse yet, fighting the family of the deceased customer for the zillion dollars they're seeking in the wrongful death suit.
  8. Assuming it's pressed in, and that you don't have a press, you're going to need something that only contacts the outer race to hammer it in without damage. The old bearing should work, but you'll probably have to grind the inner race down a bit and make sure that you keep it centered over the new one and square to the bore. Removing the old one will tell how tightly pressed it is, it might be no biggie. If it's pressed hard, I suggest taking it to a repair shop or machine shop that has a press, they "should" know how to do it properly. It doesn't have to be a bike repair shop, a bearing is a bearing. Something that'll make it easier to install, freeze the bearing and heat the housing. In cases of a light press fit, that'll often let it just drop into place.
  9. It's a nice watch in impeccable condition, and I'd love to help you out of your financial woes, but I'll have to decline as I wouldn't want to devalue my collection by adding a lowly Tag watch to the pile of good stuff. Just fucking with you, clearly. Every once in a while I feel like getting a nice watch, but I feel that I'd need to get a fairly worn one from a brand like Rolex or Petek. Something I could occasionally enjoy that would hold value even if I put some wear marks on it. Unfortunately, that probably means paying a lot more for a much more worn piece than this.
  10. His driveshaft is cupped....or just out of time, which will make it become cupped.
  11. Is the issue that the U joint wears out or something else? My Motoguzzi had an 'unserviceable' u joint; the suggestion was to heat it up and soak it in a tub of gear oil to lube it. They said that if you put your foot on the housing where the joint is while riding you could feel it if it was starting to go bad, otherwise you'd likely not notice 'till it was too late. Like many other parts, a properly maintained U-joint will last an eternity, once the lube is compromised the lifespan can become minutes.
  12. If it was induced, my guess is that you did something that damaged/dislodged the cage, the thing that keeps the balls separated. It appears that the balls and races are ok, no obvious metal destruction, but it's hard to say from the photos. If that's correct then you probably did something that hit/pushed on the seal causing it to pop the cage out. If you could flatten the seal I bet it could be reassembled and be fine, if there's no metal damage.
  13. Looks like a mechanic/DIYer induced failure.
  14. The more logical question might be "why do you feel that you need a new charger?" But asking that would be worse than just entertaining his question about getting the NOCO he linked.
  15. Because he made a Zerological decision to replace it with a BMW.
  16. My best guess is that you're not getting the boot fully over the lip that retains it. You may need to use a pick or bent wire to pull it over.
  17. I have chargers/maintainers ranging from near 0 value to over $1k. I have two go-to chargers; a 1.5A restorer and a 6amp "smart" charger that's at least 10 years old.
  18. And I don't own a single one 😂
  19. I took the first freeway ride yesterday, it was short and traffic kept me from getting much above 70, but it rode fine. It wanders mildly on rain groves, but not bad.
  20. No, the garbage Jeeps go to the scrapyard. The Wranglers and XJs don't.
  21. That wasn't a "buy now" price or I might have. No matter what was offered it was going to have to be run by mom, not sure why. If it's good. Even if it comes with a warrantee, I get stuck with pulling/swapping it. This code could be caused by fluid level/condition and might be an easy cure, or it needs a new converter, or maybe something else within the trans.
  22. From what I know, NOCO is good stuff.
