I'm sure Joe has 15 or 20 motors in stock, he'll cut you a deal 🤣 Brother, when my FPR went out I had fuel up to the bottom of the throttle body blades and it didn't hurt my motor. Roll it outside, pull the plastics, plugs, tarp it up, and crank up Old Faithful and see how high the fuel shoots in the air 😁 Don't do what I did and do that in the shop where it hit the ceiling.

I have AT&T (personal and state) and a Verizon hotspot (state). They both suck at my house. Looking at the coverage maps and talking to my neighbors, T-Mobile is the way to go. I have multiple places I have to cover that my state equipment just absolutely does not work in (kinda vital, you would think they would want that BS to work) but people on T-Mobile don't have any issues. YMMV, and I know nobody has every area covered 100%, but it might be worth checking out for yourself. Side note: the Verizon hotspot is FAR WORSE than the AT&T phones as far as coverage goes in my area.

Safelite used to say anything less than the length of a dollar bill. But I'm not sure they still work on that length or not because you're still going to see it. At least it's not in the field of view.

Same BS they make every windshield out of. I do have to say, though, that factory Ford windshield took a beating in my 15 and never cracked (and still hasn't - it's still in our fleet). The factory 19 was significantly weaker. The aftermarket replacement is even weaker than the factory one. But mine all seem to last WAY longer than everybody else's. When asked why I've only needed 1 windshield in 10 years on the road my answer is always the same; "Jesus and window tint." 😇

I have to say my 2135TI (I'm pretty sure that's the number) IR 1/2" drive impact has been pretty bulletproof. That being said that Ryobi 18v cordless I got last year puts out just as much power. But, like you, I have that big 60 gallon compressor and I won't be getting rid of my shop air. I do woodworking, metal working, and auto work all in my shop and have way too many tools that are corded, cordless, and air. The air nailers, framing nailers, pin nailers, air hammer, and body work tools are either exorbitantly expensive in other options, impractical, or just simply unavailable in electric. Then again, had a friend of mine a couple weeks back that had a couple of lug nuts that had self welded and it took my 210 pound ass with a 6 foot cheater pipe and a breaker bar to get them to break free so NO AMOUNT of air or electric power I had available could handle those. Sometimes you gotta use the right tool; whether air, electric, or butt-cheek 😁

It had a bed on it when it left your driveway. Taillight warranty. 😁

As I stated in another thread, I did all my pulls before laying the conduit in the ground. Hell of a lot easier rolling that big monster out straight and sliding all that shit on than trying to pull that monster cable through the assembly.

I put mine in conduit, not because I ever expected anybody to be out there with a trencher, but you never know when somebody might be out there with a posthole digger after me. And unless you're fucking Hulk Hogan you're not busting through conduit and the wire in the ground with a posthole digger. I'll also say this. The direct burial cable I took out of the ground that was run to the previous well house from 1977 was cracked in multiple places, but back then the entire inside was coated in what looked like white lithium grease so even if it did crack the wire was protected. I could have easily cut through some of that old brittle sheathing with a shovel.

Definitely a Christmas miracle... I'm about to 100% agree with Tomek (only visible because Zero quoted him). Swampnut RAILS Zero for quoting YouTube (as do others) not to mention the length of said YouTube videos, then posts a 15 minute YouTube video that only defends HIS VIEWPOINTS, then attacks when somebody calls HIM out on it. This is literally "pot calling the kettle", aka "let he who hath no sin" behavior. Classic. At this rate I may unblock Tomek and block Swampnut before the year runs out because I think this is at least 3 times this year I've actually agreed with Tomek on something. It's almost like he's changing. He's pulling a Dave on me.

That's why they pay me the little bucks.

But people actually buy their overhead cranes, so there's that... I think about half of the hardware either stripped or broke on my sandblast cabinet when I assembled it. Good thing I was using the Youtube video where you eliminate several components and assemble it a different way so it's far more usable and actually hinge the entire top instead of that stupid side door bullshit the way they make it. I had plenty of spares since the manual became optional as well.

Grainger is a good way to get your head knocked off on pricing. We have a fastener place that's local that gives killer pricing, but they have a minimum buy. I've seen people go in there to buy one bolt for their lawnmower and end up buying 150 because they have to hit $10 minimum. But they go there because they don't sell the bullshit at Lowe's and HD that breaks in 3 seconds. Their parking lot looks like the drive-thru at Chik-Fil-A quite often. I was in there a few years ago because I needed bolts for my transmission jack. Old man and his son were sitting next to me and they needed new bolts for something and it was literally like $1.30. I just said "put it on mine" because that was the situation they were in, about to have to buy like 80 bolts when they only needed 10. I'm sitting over there like "give me the shit they bolt the bridges over Interstate 10 together with" and it was still only $14. I guarantee you there's some place in your town like this, you just gotta find it. And it ain't Grainger.

The gender thing is throwing me for a loop. It almost makes me think you're going to say they initiate all braking sessions using the rear brake first, or exclusively use the rear brake, or something that is rear brake-specific like that. Or perhaps because they are short they keep their right foot on the rear brake most of the time and use their left foot to keep the bike upright, as the average female is shorter than the average male. Then again, the fact you mentioned the electric bike and regenerative braking makes me think this may be an electrical malfunction that is causing this, almost like an ABS issue that causes such a rapid pulse that somehow whatever pressure the rider is causing is magnified; creating the drag effect we are seeing indicated on the (assuming) inside pad (or whichever pad is the piston-driven one). But, hell, this is 2023, the bike may identify as a military Humvee for all we know.

I looked at the link and saw that image. But all that money for something you can replace for half the price and it just bolts in for a (industry term) "shitbox" just seems like a lot of work for no gain.
