  1. Is that labor for 170 to remove it from the bike, change the tire and put back on or just change the tire on the wheel? That seems like a lot either way but especially if only changing the tire on the wheel?
  2. Won’t let login if connected twitch ExpressVPN but does without using it. Same kind of weirdness the rest mentioned since yesterday.
  3. Don't know anything about this guy nor do I necessarily recommend him but it has a review of a mustard I love. The mustard comes in regular and then extra as he demonstrates. Great on brats or anything you like mustard on. I believe it has horseradish in it and it will give your nose a good burn.
  4. LOL - you can't win no matter what. There always seems to be so much contradiction. One day something is good and the next day it is not. I am of the mind eat WTF you want in moderation on a regular basis while at least doing minimal exercise and keeping your weight under control.
  5. Actually the answer is simple. Harley riders can't read but are able to recognize certain words such as diesel and oil. Makes it easy if they have to go into a store to get oil requiring them to only look for two words.
  6. I agree with Dave that it works for weight loss. I am a desk jockey by day and couch potato by night. I started walking daily 5000 to 10000 plus steps a day after one of my dogs passed away. Keeping my non-vegetable diet of bad for you food (no changes) and just walking I was able to drop a pound to two a week. My pace is similar to Dave's or perhaps a little quicker when by myself. When I walk the dog it becomes a leisurely pace as I let my dog be a dog. However he has lost about 3 pounds himself and acts like a puppy for being almost 14 years old. I think the key is consistency on a regular basis. I don't think walking would be effective for me if it was just walking my dog, but by myself at an elevated pace it works well. I also change up my route by taking different trails in the woods. I use strictly New Balance as I have wide feet and they work best for me. Wired ear buds are making a come back. I definitely prefer them myself and use the wired to the phone type and not the wired Bluetooth type.
  7. CAN YOU CERAMIC COAT POLISHED ALUMINUM WHEELS? (EXPLAINED) Polished aluminum wheels look amazing. But they stain easily. If you own a set of bare aluminum wheels, you can testify how tiring it is for you to polish them every time. A ceramic coat can seal the aluminum by creating a surface barrier. When you ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels, your wheels will retain that shiny look for longer. The ceramic coat will prevent grime, dirt, and brake dust from staining the wheels. Can I ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels? Absolutely! You can ceramic coat your polished aluminum wheels. There are two ways how you can approach this. First, you can buy a ceramic coating kit and apply it to the wheels. Alternatively, you can take your car to an auto body shop for professional ceramic coating. When you ceramic coat polished aluminum wheels, you won’t have to clean the wheels after every drive. The ceramic coat gives you peace of mind knowing that your aluminum wheels will retain that decent polish. And whenever you get the time, you can clean the surface of the wheels, and the stains should come off easily.
  8. I wonder if applying something like a ceramic coating to your wheels would minimize the clean up by just spraying them off and wiping them down?
  9. Hmmm. Ten hour drive. Wonder if they would let me take it for a "test" ride?
  10. I miss Discount. Used them for about 35 years and no issues and lots of no cost repairs. I used the local military auto shop and they did a crappy job. The good thing is I found a good German tire shop that does great work and is reasonable.

    Car Battery

    i drove it the 5 or so miles home and then hooked it up to a trickle charger for about 15 hours. The instrument panel indicated 14.4 volts on my drive to work and start/stop now works.

    Car Battery

    Expensive yes. The store was pretty good. I was going to carry the battery out and he insisted I use their push cart. I swapped it in the parking lot and returned the old one to them a few minutes later. Luckily I can repair most anything I need to and can usually order my parts from the states or bring them back when I visit.

    Car Battery

    Lol - true dat no Walmart/Costco. You all reaffirmed what I expected. Went to a local auto store and got raped a very good Varta AGM 800 CCA battery and should be good for a couple of years. 192 euros with a VAT form and a discount. I could have got the same one from Amazon.de for about 145 but was concerned about getting old stock and they wouldn’t allow returns. No doubt it is more difficult and expensive to DIY over here but better then having a garage do it.

    Car Battery

    I think I am asking the obvious and already know the answer, but.... Vehicle is just over 7 years old with original battery. The start/stop feature (annoyance) stopped working around the 3 year mark and I noticed the message alerting me that it is not ready has increasingly popped up progressively much sooner over the years. The indicated battery voltage when running has also decreased over that time from 14.2/14/4 to 13.7/14.0. when not running the voltage at the terminals is 12.3. I am guessing I pushed my luck far enough and should just replace the battery before it leaves me stranded. No issues otherwise as far as starting or running.
