  1. ........ in an interview with Perspective Media. “There are products available that comply with the 2015 regulations, but they are generally not yet in the mass market.”........

    Yeah, that was written in Oct 2013. After 14 months, I'm interested in how many have made it to the mass market. Looks like a man could buy a few of the old school models and turn them in a few years.

    I'm looking at removing the large water heater and replacing it with three half-size water heaters -- one for the kitchen/laundry and one for each shower. Right now, the hot water lines have to run all the way across the house through the slab to get to the two showers, and it means you have to run it for quite awhile to get up to temperature. I have enough room to co-locate the half-size water heaters with the showers, and each half-size is worth two reasonable (or one teenage length) showers.

    Have you considered a circulating pump on a timer to keep hot water at the point of use when commonly needed?

    I can't figure out how to do that without taking a jackhammer to the slab and running new lines.

    Ah, I see.

    You could use PEX and run the return through the ceiling?

    There is no attic space connecting the two halves of the house. It's... irritating.

  4. I exclusively ran Avon Venoms on my Valkyrie. I have a set of Storms on my Bird-That-Sucks, but I won't have another set. I had Pirelli Diablos before those. I'm going to go with Michelin Pilot Road IIIs next. I'm actually not sure what's on the TurboBird -- I still have whatever came on the brand-new take-off ZX14 rims.

  5. I had turn signals in the mirrors on my Goldwing. They're not blinding at night. I found them actually quite useful for vehicles to be able to see them when they wouldn't have otherwise had a direct view of my fronts or rears.

  6. ...has he given you a parts list of things that need replacement at all?

    'He' is me, and other than the bodywork being underwhelming and routine maintenance stuff, it should be fine. I've had it in pieces for awhile after robbing parts off it for my TurboBird, but I'm putting it back together now. I'm glad Caleb's not in a hurry, because I'm lazy. Ha.
