Went full nerd mode on this one. lol. Losi Promoto. Started life as the green MX version. Was able to find a guy that does custom graphics. I sent him pictures of my SMR and he was able to get the graphics perfect. A set of orange plastic, a set of white plastic, and a whole mess of aluminum...
Hi All,
My 15 year old daughter has a tear in her meniscus. We see orthopedic doc on Monday. He indicated on the phone surgery will be required to fix. We'll get full run down on Monday.
What are your experiences or recommendations? Any medical experts want to give some advice? I ask only...
My craftsman torque wrenches are old AF. I haven’t calibrated them in years. So that’s my excuse for a replacement.
Plus I’m envious of these digital models. I haven’t done any research on the digital torque wrenches but im hoping for something that I can easily switch between NM, in lbs, and...
I've battled high cholesterol for as long as I can remember (I'm 50 yo). My doc has always tried prescribing a statin drug to help manage the number (I've resisted). If it matters, I am 281 mg/dL, triglycerides 162, HDL 53, LDL 192, non HDL cholesterol 228. Average weight (207 lbs, 5' 10") with...
Hi All. Looking to purchase my first enclosed trailer. Its purpose will be to haul two sport bikes for weekend trips or to trackdays. Total weight of bikes, gear, and infrastructure in trailer will be around 1500 lbs. I'd be pulling with a jeep grand cherokee. Listed tow capacity for the 5.7 L...

Finally got tired of the BMW X3M Comp. Ultimate driving machine?? Uhhh no. Ultimate pain in my ass. Literally and figuratively. 42k miles. Three batteries. Two alternators. Four sets of tires. A dash that...
Hi All, I am researching options for assisted/long-term care insurance for myself and my wife. I'll be 50 next week and my wife is 46. Seems like now may be the best time to take out a policy. My thinking is I'd rather get this paid for while I'm still operating on regular salary as opposed to...
Oh yeah. Just got delivered today. My first 5 miles on it warped my brain. Still recovering. Lol. I had a customer call just as I got my helmet off. He asks: Are you alright? Lol. I was so winded I could barely utter words. Then roll right into utility compliance issues for his car shredder...
Happy Friday.
Thought I'd share my new toy. 2022 Ducati Hypermotard 950 SP. So far, in 25 years of riding, this bad little bitch is one of my favorite bikes that I've ever owned. For me, it does everything just right. It gives that exact 20 or 30 minutes of giggles that I need. lol. This build...
Sadly we brought my Father-in-Law home from the hospital on Sunday to begin in-home hospice care. Doctors are estimating 2 weeks. **** cancer.
Anyhow, I’d like to get some advice or perspective on how to help manage his estate. We have Power-of-attorney and a living will established.
He has...
There are several threads on here about the RPM Act. Just thought I'd share what recently happened to the folks at PFI Speed. Scary stuff...
Cliff notes: Sounds like PFI sold some ECU piggyback components through their webstore (did not install). EPA required PFI to provide sources of...
Hi All,
Over the weekend my 19 year old gas furnace decided to be a pain in the ballz. I goofed with (cleaned) flame detectors and igniter and it works intermittently now. We have a tech coming today for PM and diagnosis.
I'm preparing for one of the options to be complete replacement of...

How do you guys CCW while on two-wheels? Looking for suggestions on different methods of carry. I am a long time CCW and have my daily rigs set.
Just bugs me that I can't find something I'm comfortable with on the bike. For reference I ride adventure touring, sportbikes, or supermoto. Geared...
Hey All,
What would you do....
This morning on my commute into work I had a very pleasant, kind, courteous lady in a Yukon XL pass me on the left shoulder of the highway while I was in the left lane. This sandwiched me, on my motorcycle, between herself and a semi, with inches to spare, as...
So I recently had some tile work done in my bathroom (part of an extensive bathroom remodel). Long story short the tile guys don't do granite so I had to get another contractor in to put the granite down for the cap on the shower curb.
The granite guys left me with approx. 1/2" gap between the...
For those of you who CCW with small children in the house how do you talk with your kids about the secrecy and seriousness of the situation without instilling fear in them?
My daughter is 7 years old. I just started my CCW process. I'm carrying around the house as often as I can to break my...
Hey fellas, was lookin for some help...
I am flying my wife out to Denver on 8-24 to see the Dave Matthews concert for her b-day. I haven't bought tickets to the concert yet. There are still some reserved seating available but I was hoping to do better...
Does anyone have any VIP tickets...
2003 Redfire Cobra with the stock chrome wheels. I am re-listing this for sale. I had it for sale last spring but things didn't work out.
It has the following:
8 Lbs lower pulley
X2C CAI
UPR shifter
Cobra Bob shifter gasket (not installed)
BBK Long tube headers
Matching off road x-pipe

I am looking for my next toy after I sell the Cobra this spring and think this may be the ticket (literally).
I've looked at these for years but was never able to really talk to someone that had one to get true impressions. Street-ability, maintenance, etc.
Who are the good...
I am in the market to purchase a particular generator used in Alco locomotives (models C-425 and U-25-B) until around 1971. It is the General Electric GT 598 generator. By my records there were only 872 ever built.
I don't care what condition they are in. I have a motor shop that refurbishes...
