Galfer Blacks, #1054, are all around good. Not super great at one thing, solid in the wet, not aggressive, not grabby like HH, and basically zero rotor wear. If your rotor is just close to done, and not truly fucked, these will basically mean you won't replace it. The Blacks are just soft and progressive except you won't get the hard bite at full power. https://www.solomotoparts.com/Galfer-Semi-Metallic-Rear-Brake-Pads-for-CBR1100XX-I-Super-Blackbird-97-03/

This is like an oil discussion, there are so many variables. Some of my favorite pads were not so great in rain, which you get a lot more of, but don't know if you ride in the rain. The EBC HH are good, but not without their own issues. Are you riding fast in twisties, or being old and driving slow to the grocery store like the rest of us?

$140 lithium is a no-brainer against an $80 AGM?

This is why a $100 lithium is a no-brainer against a $60 AGM.

So it was on porpoise you say.

I want to think that's terrible, but the hispanic in me just wants to add purple neon to make it right.

Everybody needs to have goals in life. This is a pretty good one.

I don't see what he said, but clearly, you are new here.

For my uses, the small one is a better fit.

You're coming to AZ?

Yeah, fuck that shit. Looks like I can control bugs too. Been doing a new (to me) finishing method, and suddenly there are bugs everywhere. Mostly stuck to the finish that takes many hours to skin over.

My best guess is that the steel is the part holding the shape, and that it's done on purpose to keep it on a bike frame and not be a danger. So we just need the water to get to a couple thousand degrees and keep it from melting the plastic off.

We were looking for Javelina, and going deep into the desert-forest. Came upon his ranch and big gate, so we ventured out on trails. An hour later, after many "hold on" events, we see the BACK of the gate ahead. LOL. I went fast enough to signal "we are getting the fuck out" and slow enough to say "no fuckery going on here!" Pretty sure there was a rifle in a window somewhere.

BTW Tim, this knife is a fucking felony in CA.

Federal park ranger. At least, that's the only way I've heard it. I was hiking with a friend's daughter and we both wanted a challenging climb, so we did a hill and came out in a place marked no entry. But going in was unmarked. I tried to be respectful and she went on a long tirade about "you people" and shit, so I started laughing and talking shit. I never paid it and they said I had a federal warrant but it never happened as far as I could find. She put a bunch of my info down wrong, because she was so spitting mad I guess. This is also how I ended up on the back side of Ruger's ranch in Prescott, with the Jeep, which to me, was far more concerning. They never put signs in places where they think nobody would ever make it.

Improper parking? The squirrel cop was super important in her mind, and the smirks, laughter, and comments were not taken well. This was before Tasers, so probably would have just got a 9mm up my ass.

I never did find out the penalties for taking the Sea Doo out at night. Our lake would be like glass at night and super quiet. I would easily make top speed and have a great time of it. $50? Fuck yeah. $500? Hmm, maybe. Impound and pound me in the ass federal prison? Not so much. Fines are not things that keep me from doing things. They are the cost of entry, like a ticket to a movie. Oh, reminds me of saying this to the federal squirrel police for an infraction I truly didn't know I committed, after she went on a tirade: "Oh, it's only $50, hell, I'd just buy a prepaid book and do it every weekend!"

It's worth noting that this knife, unlike many others, did not come in a package that needed a knife to open it.

E-tool and lye.

Just a tool, I use it all the time. I also carry a flashlight.

It's not the one I wanted. I had no idea that there were two identical-looking knives (in pictures), but one is double the size and aluminum instead of plastic bodied. I want the ST-13. Tim: I just realized the one I have has the black hinge point (Devo hat) and clip, not the silver. So like below, but the one above is the stock photo. This is the 13, much smaller, plastic, it's what I wanted (and the one that got stolen by TSA).

Cool, will ship later today or tomorrow.

NIB. They are $130 plus shipping and tax. How about $100 shipped? Never even taken out of the plastic.

Crackhead. Road rashed 99 "priced to move" at $6800. WTF. And no pics. https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/1999-Honda-CBR+1100XX-5020795486?cmp=email_cycle_search-alert The Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird. Advertised by Honda as the fastest production bike available in 1998 and named after the American spy plane, Blackbird. Super low miles at 8773. That is correct 8,773 miles. All services are up to date. Ride is smooth and very fast very quick. Has some road rash thus priced to sell at $6799. Warning! This bike is very powerful and demands an experienced rider.

There's a thread on the details, but... Good ultrasonic with auto control, easy descale, connected to an RO unit so it never really scales at all. A separate sensor confirms it doesn't go too high. I've got it at 40% now. The weather suddenly took a turn with some rain, so the AC only ran for a day or so. High of only 78 today.
