No problem. I'll send him a hat.

Some of the replies seem to miss this point.

Look in the index under “clitoris.”

Yeah, right. Ever have to replace stuff via insurance? Will it be worth the effort saved by not caring to prevent the theft in the first place?

Which is, in essence, the problem. 50 pages would be more than most will process. My Prius has 3 manuals. 😵

But will it be able to identify all the different genders?

The garage would provide an ideal spot to cart stuff out of the house, and yeah…the pickup truck, the Prius, my BMW. An easy $70K to replace. For you, that’s pocket change.

2013…and not all of us can afford to buy a new car when it’s due for an oil change like you can.

Link? Photos?

Yikes! A bit pricey…but worth it if you’ll use it enough. I rarely use my drill, but I need new bits…or an easy way to correctly sharpen them.

Yes, it is. That’s why if I’m going to spend money on a security measure, I wan’t to know to what degree it protects. When I went to Germany, doors and windows were locked. Dogs were with my sister. I put padlocks on the garage door rails so one could not open them from the outside. With all the large windows on the house, a burglar could get in with a bat. Even asking the neighbor to watch the house, there’s no way to watch it 24/7. I could have installed a security system, but cut the phone line and wear a mask and it does no good. Even if it alerted the police, I could expect 20-30 minutes for any units to arrive…if not more. So, I didn’t spend for one. Heck, my dad obtained security service decals and put them on the hose AS IF we had security service. A bluff, but the goal was to persuade a burglar to go elsewhere rather than waste time on our house. Many helmet lock systems basically just provide a locked hook for the chin strap. What typically happens? A numb nut just cuts the strap and takes the helmet. Only a thief who wants an intact helmet won’t do that.

Which is odd considering the number of dicks in the running.

Sounds like a stripper’s stage name.

Starlink is not an option until I see the outcome of the next "election." Musk has made powerful enemies, and if anything happens to him, there's no reason to believe his companies will move forward as if he was still at the helm.

Perhaps, but I thought that one was about a TV antenna/booster. What brands for cell phones do you see as well-made?

What cell signal boosters are worth it? For rural use where you're lucky to get 1 bar.

I’d have to properly strap down the bike to check. Keep in mind that the trailer simply lacks anchor points that work with the single sided swingarm and exhaust can. If the front straps do most all the work and the rear simply makes sure the tire doesn’t bounce, it should be fine. I like the folding trailer concept, but clearly this model is only ideal for certain designs. The seller added holes for additional anchor points, so even with his Goldwing, more was needed.

Those photos ARE without the front straps.

It’s not pulling to the left because of the strap. Done properly, I would have the two front straps done and then apply the rear strap. It would be “level” before started. I put the bike on the trailer solely to determine where to drill for the anchor.

You would never get an appreciable measure of tension with a strap placed there, and you’d risk marring the wheel. Besides, it does provide additional lateral stability during transport. It’s why I use 4 straps when 2 supposedly is all I need. Honestly, I question if this tie down would work on a flatbed trailer based on my swingarm/exhaust positions. Maybe it’s the shaft drive. There is really no way to have left and right straps equally positioned without one or the other hitting something.

Got the care package. The smaller ones might have done the job, but I went with the forged eye bolt I got at Rural King. I see no way to anchor equally thanks to the swingarm/muffler arrangement. Yeah, it’s leaning to the left, but I only put the bike on the trailer to see where my drill options were. Didn’t have the front strapped down.

Most people do…but some understand that “stronger” is a relative concept. Those security cables for you laptop deter theft, but if someone wants it bad enough, there are tools that will make quick work of them…or they’ll break the laptop case to get it loose.

Yeah, but is it worth the premium? Google Earth lets you calculate acreage. While we have +/- 34 acres, a calculation shows only 2 acres of land we actually mow…and most of that only needs cutting maybe once a month because we don’t mind it growing taller. Around the house proper and along the drive if needed every 2-3 weeks. Now to see if I can get it at a discount.

Wow. A positive response. Please say you aren’t messing with me.

Looking at this now. It seems zero turn models are a premium, but other than going faster, they don’t, per se, do significantly better cutting. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Cub-Cadet-XT1-Enduro-LT-46-in-23-HP-V-Twin-Kohler-7000-Series-Engine-Hydrostatic-Drive-Gas-Riding-Lawn-Tractor-LT46/317834379?irgwc=1&cm_mmc=afl-ir-249354-456723-&clickid=VdeVmu3vrxyPTTzU4TwzTyBJUkFW4XSdzU5o2A0
