Changing your own tires...how much is involved?
SwampNut replied to Zero Knievel's topic in The Garage
And who the fuck wants to pick up a phone in 2021? Also I just mistrust people/places that don't respond. I've bought my last three vehicles either 100% or 90% by email, the only way to do it. -
A friend's did it slightly, here in AZ of all places. So that was clearly a factory issue, not humidity or salt.

"The R1100GS is too big to ride on real dirt." Hold my beer. Also, we should take up a collection to get that guy a camera with more than 8 total pixels. The stator cover looks like it has lost paint, not like a crash. I know I've seen some covers blister and the paint come off.

GREAT! This bike runs hot, but it's not really a problem. I live in Phoenix and I've been stuck in traffic in summer, the bike dealt with it better than I did. The Corbin Gunfighter and Lady really tunes up the passenger comfort.

Came with the gun I just got, and I have no interest in keeping it. I can't find a good used price for it, just that it has an MSRP of $180. $90 shipped? As always, I trust all you guys so open to hearing if you think that's high. It's mint, the gun was a bedside piece and never carried. Comes with box and tool. Batteries included, gun not included.

Remember back when Star Tron had a testimonial claiming that a guy's speed got higher at the same RPM? LOL! I've seen Lucas work to free up one stick injector, in something like ten minutes of driving.

I agree on a fuel cleaner. I don't know anything about B12, but my choices are typically Lucas, Sea Foam, or Star Tron. I'm not saying B12 is bad just don't know it.

They are certainly ugly in a certain way, but also signify "Tesla" and high efficiency, so my brain accepts the look. The ones that were ultra hideous were on that early Honda electric. Ugh. Someone suggested that the car could move back and forth a few feet if it's being fucked with and sentry mode is on (though it seems some of these owners disabled sentry, WTF). This is 100% technically possible, but too much fear of liability will prevent it. Also the car could spin the wheel if it's off the ground while the car is locked and alarm/sentry mode is on. It already can identify and detect humans in a 360 circle, and record them. It does it so well that I have hours and hours of sentry recordings.

Hope you don't mind, I edited your post just to make it clear the summary of the solution is contained there. If you need to change your username in order to encourage NWS posts, so be it... Users are allowed to make that change.

Let the roasting begin. Also, another very rare individual who uses first initial/last name on forums. Almost everywhere except here, that's what I use. This forum name was given to me by a riding buddy.

AZ used to be really picky about the front plate, until the law changed and now we don't have one. This is why our society crumbled, and global warming is far worse here than anywhere else. Scottsdale got rid of nearly all cameras. It was a popular vote. And by vote, I mean our people were shooting them, pulling them down with chains, covering them with paint, and showing up at officials' houses to "return" their mailed photo tickets. Also a shitload of people moved to postal box registrations, and just ignored citations. I love anarchy. It's effective. We have four red light cameras in Scottsdale only for the most dangerous intersections. Scottsdale has our highest concentration of entitled dickwads. Paradise Valley, which seems to be Scottsdale if you're not from 'round here, still has a couple of photo speed vans, set to 11 over (not terrible for curvy surface streets marked 45 I guess). Postal box registrations...I love it that I'm not the only one. When I put my UPS box address in for insurance info or MVD stuff, a list of nearly 100 cars at that address shows up for me to pick one. Government doesn't need to know where we live. Oscar's story mirrors the one where a friend and I were riding back from his house, in a huge pack of trucks and cars doing 85. They decided to light US up for doing about 83. A bike at 83 is clearly more dangerous than a truck at 85. Guess where her plate is from....

This was hardwired in the chick's car that we just traded in, so no cord, and the mount was fucked anyway. She said it would occasionally just freak out. She thinks it would sometimes alarm for no reason and sometimes just go dark, but forgot the details. If I power it up by USB it does turn on. So really, the only use for this is if you want to send it for their $140 platinum refurb service, where they go through it all and send you back a new cord and mount, almost like new. I have no interest in it, I only do 5 over. https://www.escortradar.com/pages/repair-info-and-pricing

That was for phone sex, stop resisting.

Great point, sometimes we overlook things in thinking there's one obvious problem.

Uh huh, and....??

No, some other sale/new owner I ran across, just tossed it here since this thread meandered into all sorts of used bike talk.

The clunk on an old slow carb bird must be ludicrous, because it's annoying as fuck in the one with the anti-clunk. One of the things I noticed when I rode mine to the buyer's place, because I'd ridden the KTM the day before and its transmission is so much smoother.
