Re: muggy weld and other snake oil

Practice is #1. Though better welders do help. Modern inverter based welders that can do high freq (like 200Hz) and waveshaping (like 20% cleaning, 80% penetration) are a ton easier to use - its almost like cheating. I'm a self taught but consider myself pretty decent. Stack of dimes is purely from ...

That looks fun. On the website I see it states motorized traffic requires a permit.

Re: UHD in the front and HD in the rear!

I bought a UHD front tube by accident. Haven't used it yet but am not looking forward to it. I hate doing fronts anyway since there is less room to get your fingers in there. I've started to use one of those pull-cable things that screw into the stem to help get it through the hole. Its not perfect ...

Re: Beta enters the EV bike scene

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Generally the Apollos get poor QC reviews. The reviews I've seen on the RFN vs SurRon LB, the LB wins hands down for stock. That said, the RFN might have a lot of mod potential. Its a shame the UltraBee price jumped way up or it would have been the no-brainer.

Re: Crusty Demons of Dirt

Have never seen or heard of these videos or any of these people (outside of McGrath and Pastrana.) But, that was still a pretty neat video to watch. Interesting to know how it started.

Van Tolls

Well, tall van owners get screwed on I95 now. We were was heading down to Fredericksburg last weekend and there was an accident on I95 so we popped onto the express lanes for a few exits to get around it. I don't normally pay for express lanes but I figured a couple bucks to save an hour was worth i...

Re: Tuk for muktuk

Pretty cool. Our friend Austin went there last year after we dropped him off at the canadian border at the end of the NEBDR. It was quite the adventure. Several bear encounters (one close enough to damage some bodywork at speed.)

Re: Pol Tarres on the T7 @ Erzberg 23

So, is this kind of like "influencers" and such? Do something to get attention and make your money that way? Does yamaha sponsor him to ride the bike? Would he be competitive (like top 10) on a regular bike? While impressive I don't really understand it. I believe yes, yes, yes, and yes i...

Re: Pol Tarres on the T7 @ Erzberg 23

Funny he gets the hole shot. That start was made for the big bike.
Pretty expensive mistake @ 5min dropping his front tire off the edge.
How is he allowed to go under the tape and skip part of the course @ 7min?
I only got about 10min in. Watching long motorcycle vids in one shot makes me nauseous.
