  1. Yeah, if they aren't LEDs, trash. I put extremely bright LEDs in my XX for $13 a pair.
  2. I think we need to schedule an intervention for Joe.

    Solar flares.
  4. When I see fire sale and motorcycles, I think Hayabusa.

    He registered yesterday and then immediately posted that. Which is cool, we're a resource and that's normal. But no replies is odd.

    You're going to have to supply a lot more details. We have no idea if it's something like just a loose drain plug, or a gasket leak, or what. Where is the smoke coming from--exhaust exit or bottom of engine? Where do you see oil exactly?
  7. Light bar? Do you care if people don't get out of the way?
  8. I believe this is the perfect city government vehicle for us in Cleator. If Yavapai tries to enforce a leash law, we bring this out.
  9. Then sell the vehicle with the LS so you can keep the more useful diesel engine? I like it.
  10. That bike gives me wood. And then I saw the XR version, and nearly passed out.
  11. Fuck, turning off a vehicle while rolling, especially one that might be loaded in a way to make it undriveable without power steering and brakes, seems like a huge liability. This is where I'd normally ask about checking the spark plugs and carburetor.
  12. I've used stations like that in the past (without the scale weirdness). They are horribly uncomfortable because they have to be built to a medium body standard, that only works if you're exactly in that body shape. There was only a tiny bit of adjustability. And laying back while holding your arms out to type is basically a middle level of hell kind of torture. There's a reason we sit up to type. I even have trouble typing for long with a laptop at the couch in the middle recline position. This could be a fun consumption or gaming chair though, maybe.
  13. Something I've found helpful to tweak out just that last bit of softness is to do what Oscar said, and then "flick" the levers pretty hard. Seems to get a remaining tiny bubble sometimes. Tapping them inward, and then also pressing and releasing it hard.
  14. You know, here's the thing...even the most abused XX at 28k miles is unlikely to have mechanical problems. Anyone else please correct me, but I don't even see a way that it could have problems outside of maybe never having had an oil change. So that just leaves you deciding on whether the visuals and accessories are to your liking. Mechanically, we've seen near-zero major issues, and just lots of dumb things like the CCT and regulator fail. For fluids, yeah, you should do brake, clutch, and radiator just based on age. Easy, cheap.
  15. Nice rack.
  16. So it's still there for you? That's what I was asking here. I don't see it, and am not sure which one of my bullshit blockers is killing it.
  17. I am rebooting the server to test something that needs to run on boot, so if anyone had connection issues around noon AZ time (GMT-7), that was it.
  18. Please try logging out and back in, let me know.
  19. Well, it looks like every time I do an upgrade, one of the two people on my ignore list get dropped off. Anyone else? What's weird is that they remain on the list but the posts are shown AND it shows the line that says "you've chosen to ignore."
  20. I've always seen things like that the same way that I hear Bohemian Rhapsody. It's the artist showing off and the end result is just busy and annoying, not "art" or beautiful in any way. "Look what I can do" and not created to be viewed/heard and enjoyed. It's like tech people who throw every single option possible into a user interface instead of looking from the user's perspective to show what they really need. Next up on UNPOPULAR OPINIONS...
  21. I had put off some of the changes previously discussed based on expected features in this version. They would have totally over-ridden any changes, plus it may be reasonably improved now. Please have a look around. New: The user interface had an overall remake. New stats features. Mobile App for iOS and Android (beta). A bunch of behind the scenes improvements.
  22. Mine has less mods, but it's white, so automatically worth more.
