I'm calling BULLSHIT on the "500" amps of starting power.....that's not happening. My 302AH EVE cells that I used for building my battery, which by the way, One of those four cells for my battery is larger than the entire battery of 4 cells of the NOCO battery. The max. current limit on my cells are 1C....which means 302 amps. Like I said, I'm calling BS on the Amazon ad for that particular stat.
Well, that's what NOCO is claiming on their own website. So, if it's false, it's NOCO's fault.

Thanks. It's on my shopping list for when I need to replace the current battery.

Some say I would be well-served to move to a Li-Ion battery when the time comes to change my AGM. They emphasize to get one with a Battery Management System built in so it's "plug and play"...so to speak.
I'm not having luck identifying batteries that include a BMS in it's design. Any recommendations?

I think I’d be afraid to get close to a pharmacist who needed to carry so many zip ties on him. An electrician, fine, but a phamacist?

Random. I got 3 different camo decals. Just cut them in random shapes, random order. Whatever felt "right".
When I put all pieces on the bike I laughed hysterically for couple minutes. Looks that good in person. Lol.
Let's be real. Going to the track is retarded in first place, no trophy, costs arm and leg, and you could get injured.
I’m sure it still costs money, but don’t most people use a cheap aftermarket body kit in place of the OEM plastics and paint/decal as they please because it’s cheaper and more expendable? -
Looks like you missed a few colors.

...and you hit it, you're at fault. So the claim is only partially covered and your rates may increase?
I’m sure it’s state and case specific.My road has some bad potholes. Yeah, you should slow down and try to avoid them, but we’ve filed requests with VDOT to have them come out and AT THE VERY LEAST patch the bigger ones. Nothing has happened. If they had water in them, it would be easy to just think they are a puddle.
If there’s an accident or a vehicle get damaged by hitting one, I’d hope there would be a case against VDOT for malfeasance. Once notified of a road hazard, doing nothing should be actionable once so much time passes. Hell, a bad pothole close to me was patched by the guy who lives next to it…filled it with concrete on his own initiative. What the fuck are we paying taxes for?

What kind of hitch is that? The ones I’ve seen ARE NOT rated for a full size motorcycle.

Jeezus, you really love doing stuff the hard way don't you. There's no need to support the tarp at all, just raise the front of the trailer and water will flow out the back. It also means minimal strapping since the tarp doesn't have to be kept tight like it does with your support system. Yes, too easy, I get it.

Would not be easier if it self drained rather than my going out to tip the trailer every time it rains?Tarp must always be lashed down so the wind doesn’t catch it and make it go bye bye.

Well, Brawndo does have what plants crave.

That works but looks like a lot of work to undo and redo each time for use.
Why not build a little shelter for it. Don't that sound like a fun summer project? I love doing stupid stuff like that.
For the few times I'd use the trailer, it's not that big a deal if it does the job.
-
Took some of the wood from the old steps to support the tarp so water won’t pool.

Wonder if that guy worked on bikes and those were abandoned. Local shop had a lot full of unclaimed bikes. Either needed work or owner never paid. Business owner didn’t have the time to go to court to get title so he could dispose of them and didn’t have a written agreement for work done that bikes not claimed after X months would be disposed of. So, his shop was full of derelict bikes. -
1. Read the fine print on what is excluded.
2. Talk to local technicians and see if they've had to deal with these companies (or had customers who have). I know some Medicare supplement plans are "no go" around here. Doctors and hospitals will tell you flat out which companies do and which don't pay claims for patients.

How do you manage to find the most retarded, conspiracy, and idiot YouTubers?
Doesn't answer the question. The interesting bit was that they put a lube nipple on the housing, but none of it ever gets to the bearing because it's sealed.

Video on maintenance for lawn mower, but is it true that the sealed bearings have no grease in them?

My rule is to go by urine color. The darker it is, the more water you should be taking in. A big issue in hot, arid climates…not so much where there is high humidity. My college roommate worked in New Mexico for the summer and came back with the mantra “clear and copious” for hydration. I laughed and told him it won’t last a month. Sure enough, after a few nights of getting no sleep because he kept having to get up to pee, he came around.
Southwest Virginia isn’t New Mexico.

Please tell me you aren’t like this guy…

I have a motorcycle trailer for sale. Put one in the bed and one on the trailer.

Are you going to commit and cut the excess off the straps?
I’d have to start a new thread and get the forum’s combined input first. 🖕🫵😊-
