On another crazy level, I've considered a single-wheel trailer for the bike. Make it only hinge horizontally.
A friend of mine has had one of those for at least 15 years. He bought it for his 2008 Hayabusa, and then modified the mount on the bike to fit his Road-Glide, which is almost the same color as the Busa was. Other than feeling a little more weight, he says you hardly notice it's back there. I could ask him the brand to see if they still make them.?

And a crazy guy building them. Did you see the front-wheel drive/rear-steer bicycle he built? Pretty much unrideable.
His stuff is good for YT likes, but not really practical, except the trailer, maybe. I say "maybe", because how much trouble is a small ramp, really? I'd rather have less weight and fewer moving parts.

The 7.3 has nowhere near the power of modern Diesels, but somehow it has enough power to pass the repair shops that the modern ones just can't seem to get around.
That's because the newer ones are on the EPA plan.

"diesel"
Plus, it's a 7.3, so the power to weight is about the same as a grom..😜
No bueno. You would have to pull over for a head wind.

Gotta be GE. The one I have doesn't capture for shit. Maybe it would be better if the vent actually blew the air outside, dunno.
Magnatron replacement made it a little over 4 years. POS. Gonna replace it again, and give it to my sister.

Your thread title sounds like a MSM headline, but I didn't read where Musk actually believes that.

According to the tire guy; aligning the balance dots with the stems does nothing and tires don't loose balance over time, if there's a vibration, something's wrong.
When they mounted the motorhome tires I told the guy mounting them to please align the dots and he did, but he had a helper do some of them and he didn't. There was a noticeable difference in the amount of weights needed, one of the aligned tires took Zero weight, one of the misaligned nearly drove them into bankruptcy. I showed the boss, he's the "tire guy" I've been referring to, he seemed unimpressed. Whenever they mount new tires I ask them to align the dots and they typically require minimal weight despite usually being cheapo tires.
I put on two new Dunlop GPR-300 tires for NcNeXXt, and aligned the dots with the valve stems. Had 1 oz. of weight on the front rim from the old tire. Removed 1/2 oz. and it's perfect (for static balance). The old rear had no weights at all, and still didn't need any with the new tire.😲 Never has this happened in my entire motorcycling life.

It's those government birds spreading this.
I was going to ask if the Missouri guy works for the government. Gotta test it on somebody.
As I read Carlos' post, my first thought was, "I think chicken is about to get less expensive."

I think this thread needs to be renamed to "Chicken Little".

Me neither, but I don't eat it every day!
I probably would, if I had a much higher metabolism. I probably average twice a week.

I had a super deal for a meal service called Green Chef. The type where ingredients are supplied in the portions to cook your own meals fresh. I selected the plant based, and we're specifically always avoiding dairy.
They ship cheese and milk type ingredients. I contact them. "Those are considered vegetarian by dietitians." Yes, cool, I didn't select vegetarian, I selected plant based. Green Chef's policy is that this is the same.
Not.Even.Close
Cows eat plants. That's not close enough?
Seriously, that is some fucked up thinking on their part. You can't have been the only one to complain.

Oh, a lot of it goes to Saudi, because they outlawed the production, because it was so inefficient/destructive to their
environmentRELIGION. Go stew on that for a bit.FTFY

Nothing bad has ever come from a lab, nothing to worry about.
It probably has the potential of being better than 'real' meat in every way. Electricity is at peak rate during dinner time, with enough radiation you can eat with the lights off. The government will be involved so there's some
potentiallyGUARANTEED bad outcomes.FTFY

I'm sure it could, just like a snap lock type master link works perfectly fine, 'till it don't. No clue if a snap ring would be less reliable than the locking plate, I don't recall ever seeing one that used a snap ring so there might be a reason.
Plus, the two bolts can be loc-tited, and take a tool that is already in the tool pouch. Can you imagine finding a pair of snap-ring pliers in a motorcycle tool pouch?

Fizzy, that is called a "anti-judder spring". It's supposed to make the clutch engagement smoother at higher RPM (hard launch). Stock Suzuki GS models (I think) had something similar. Unless you're wanting to drag race, should be able to live without it. My 99 did not want to launch over 3500 RPM without "grabbing and bucking" (Judder). I had Brock Davidson make me a prototype of his clutch cushion that he was selling for the Hayabusa. Worked like a charm. There is an old thread in here where I tried to do a group bye for these, because Brock wouldn't make more unless he got an order for 5 minimum. All but one member backed out, so it didn't happen.

I think the holes are for a retainer plate, like this...
A plate instead of a nut seems to be fairly common with dirtbikes.
But more importantly, what's been talked about concerning the offset and width needs to be checked.
That looks like the Grom sprocket. There has to be a notch (similar to a snap-ring groove) near the end of the shaft for that plate to sit in. I always wonder why a heavy-duty snap ring couldn't do the same job?

Seems inevitable and good solution to a big problem. As long as people will eat it. Would you?
If it was that, or starve to death, then yes. I doubt I will live long enough for a catastrophic food shortage to hit this planet, so the answer is NO for now.

I'll be interested to see if there is any improvement with my moderate diet change. I know age and genetics come into play but I'm sure diet must be the third leg.
That third leg is about as proportional as your own third leg.

I don't see where they say it is dampened.
Just spray it with some Flex-Seal.

If you're going to tear it down, do it once...especially considering the AGE of the bike and IF it has ever been tested previously.
He didn't say it was losing coolant, so no need to pressure test. Yes, Mike, it's really that simple.
I thought Carlos' crackhead post rating was a little harsh, at first, but I'm starting to see his point.

2023 Buick Envision
Apparently it's an issue with a few as noted on the Envision forum. Sudden loss of power steering and brakes, of course the dealership can't duplicate.
Needless to say they are getting scared to drive the thing. It has appx. 15k miles, they just drove it from Tucson to Maryland a month ago with no problems.
If the steering is also affected, does that mean this Buick has hydraulic brake booster? Or are both electric assisted?
A crazy trailer, a crazy salvage bike

It's called a Uni-go.
