  1. SOLD! Paypal?
  2. When gas prices went up, gas theft was common and locking cap sales skyrocketed. I have no idea why they are on bikes, since there's so little to steal. And sugar is not soluble in gasoline, I think that hole thing is a myth. This seems like a stupid question, but I assume everyone knows you need to push down on the cap before turning the key? Otherwise you're using the key to scrub the locking lugs against the ring.
  3. Someone cut the top on my old Triumph to steal some shit, when the doors were unlocked.
  4. For a while, not sure now, it was SOP in NYC to leave your doors unlocked. Otherwise they'd break a window just to see if you had something to steal.
  5. If I leave town, I carry a spare key, in every vehicle. In town, nah. Sounds like the lock might have been getting hard to turn? I use TUF Glide in locks (and a bunch of other things), doesn't attract dirt, makes them buttery smooth.
  6. What did it end up going for? Kinda weird to see that Honda Monkeys are being advertised for more than a typical XX price.
  7. It would be bananas for sure.
  8. Probably not so much literally can't, but that you sure as fuck aren't going to enjoy riding a Monkey half way across the country. I wouldn't do it on my full size 250. Can a Monkey even hold 70?
  9. Undervolting things is very tough on them. On the other hand, the spec is the full power needed to charge it quickly and play it at high volume. But really, you're going to cut it's life down at least a little. I haven't used Pandor in probably 3-4 years. I just always found it on the better side of just ok, but never excited me.
  10. If you have an Amazon Prime membership, you have free music with some features like that. You mentioned Pandora...why not just use that?
  11. Picked up Zerex Chrysler-specific OAT stuff at Auto Zone for $13 after rebate. I've used around a gallon of it in the last five years in all vehicles put together, I think I can spare the $3/year.
  12. Definitely no for R410, don't know about the others. Also, only three years old but was made for R22? I thought the changeover was happening long before that?
  13. Crisco Butter Flavor, of course, do you still have the old stinky exhaust smell instead of great popcorn smell?
  14. So taste it, you're saying?
  15. Yeah, update? I recently learned that WW does indeed teach long-term skills on managing intake, it's not just a fad/one-time thing. It's much better than some nay-sayers in this thread assumed it to be.
  16. I've never heard of an aluminum terminal. I'm not sure you could buy one if you wanted to. In a quick search, I couldn't find that as a material for terminals at all. It's going to be something like tin/zinc over beryllium/copper. The best material for a terminal.
  17. I need some coolant for my Jeep (and a new radiator soon, that's another discussion). It some special stuff that's kind of fuschia-purple. Then there's the stuff that claims to work with anything. Hmm.
  18. Sure it's not zinc coated copper? Also, who cares if they are aluminum?
  19. I've had several dryers outside, and occasionally the washer too. It's AZ so there's no humidity to kill it, and keeping heat outdoors is always good. In houses with a swamp cooler it would be more humid inside the house. And no dryer vent to clean. I lived in a house with a weird semi carport/garage thingy, which had hookups for it. There was a garage door, and roof that was part of the house, but the other two sides were totally open. Weird but also useful. Many older AZ houses had odd arrangements like this. On the original question I'm confused why this needs to be a "part" and not just some wire and connections.
  20. Used vehicle salesmen are such slackers. Wonder if he sold the owner an extended warranty and the underbody coating too?
  21. You don't' remember when busas were catching fire left and right? I don't remember what caused it though. I crashed a busa party and two of about ten bikes there had fire damage.
  22. Moriah's Ruger SR22 is finicky, and each mag (all genuine) vary in what they like. It sucks. Great gun otherwise. The old Mark II and the S&W eat anything, to where I've dumped boxes of random shit in the mag loader and it just doesn't matter. Oh yeah, did I post about the Mark II/III/IV mag loader? Magical.
