  1. Strange behavior in slow turns around town, an unnerving feeling. To be fair, I've got tens of thousands of miles on Avons and maybe 1k on Michelin. Could just be me. If I need a street truck tire, Michelin 100%. None of their car or bike tires have ever made me happy. The ones on the Tesla are stupid loud.
  2. Just sold the bike with Pilots on it, hated those tires. Avon would be my choice. I've seen anywhere between 1700 and 8k miles on a rear.
  3. They restored his Harley's normal operational status, not sure what the problem is.
  4. Not sure why that was unclear. You can buy PVC tube and drill any size/number of holes. You shouldn't use metal.
  5. I'm considering putting it in the Tesla and see what sort of cross-system hackery I can pull off.
  6. What Oscar says. I have no idea what you're seeing, but both solid and corrugated (flexible) perforated drain pipe are solid as hell. Designed to be buried, stronger than normal PVC pipe. Depot for sure has 6" and may have 8". You can order it or find it at specialty stores in larger sizes. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Advanced-Drainage-Systems-6-in-x-20-ft-Corrugated-Pipes-Drain-Pipe-Perforated-06010020/203298667 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Advanced-Drainage-Systems-4-in-x-10-ft-2-Hole-Triplewall-Pipe-4520010/100191022
  7. Sigh. Fine. Paypal sent. Kitchen maybe. For touchless commands while cooking with gloves on. Not sure, but IT'S ON SALE
  8. Take the motor out and turn it upside down. But yeah, if have a piece of hose around that can work well, or any kind of pickup tool, which is good to have around. I've probably used mine five times in 20-30 years, but really really needed it those times.
  9. Hah, since I'm local-ish to Alan, he might have been thinking a pickup and/or we work on his bike together or something. Grab the first set.
  10. I guess my shame pales in comparison. I paid the dealer almost $400 to do the break-in service on the KTM.
  11. To be fair, she's probably not all that far away from doing that anyway.
  12. I'm glad I'm traveling or I'd be super tempted to buy and do a refresh. If it's still there when I get back, it's a sign that god loves me and she wants me to have it.
  13. A 97 with 100k in Tucson, there's almost zero chance I didn't ride with this guy at some point. I'm out of town for a week, if you wanted it looked at I could make a trip after that. But I'm guessing it will sell fairly easily. Well, except miles scare some people. I don't have any mechanically inclined friends in Tucson any more for a quick check. You're welcome to start a conversation and use my name and bike details and ask if he remembers me (2000 Ti bird, rode with the Speedway or "pizza place" crowd).
  14. Portables of the time tended to skip in hard riding, and also none of them supported MP3 CDs. A single CD was too annoying to fuck with for long rides. That player could handle CD-RW *data* discs with MP3 files, and play them as normal discs. So IIRC, one disc could hold about ten normal CDs.
  15. Exactly what it looks like. Onboard music. The body with CD player was under the seat, I made a cable to mount the removable faceplate up on the bars. Custom fiberglass box and brackets. That when to an Autocom to integrate the detector and phone.
  16. I still have one. Just played snake on it.
  17. Moved to the Garage, was posted in the wrong place.
  18. If the motor is running too fast, then the frequency should be off also. Do any of your meters have a frequency or RPM counter? Both are common in modern automotive type VOMs, not so much on electronics/hobby type meters. Often the frequency mode is just marked "Hz" which may be obvious, but want to be sure.
  19. Humor me, see if there's DC where you got 140 AC.
  20. A GFCI would not be a bad idea. They work on boats, so certainly would work on a truck.
  21. "For Elec Eqpt Only" on the label is interesting and some sort of clue. Hard to parse what it means, but thinking maybe "not for powering onboard devices?"
  22. Probably for powering other tools needed on the job, like a bench grinder, recip saw, lights, etc. They weren't so big on Lipo tools in the 80s.
  23. I believe these documents apply to that generator. Oscar can confirm or deny. Onan service manual 900-0196.pdf Onan parts BFA 3.0-4.0 965-0222.pdf
  24. Huh, I know that machine. Oscar now has mine, pretty sure he can answer any question on it.
