504 has lots of sand in some of the corners.

Since there's some bike experts here, I thought I'd ask: I got a Norco Scrambler I bought for $500 in 2008. Specifically this: 2008 Norco SCRAMBLER – Specs, Comparisons, Reviews – 99 Spokes What is it lacking compared to mountain bikes in the same class (entry level hard tail) being built...

Any idea what bikes will be there? I want to demo the GSX-S1000GX.

I use this: Venom Motorcycle Wheel Balancer Rim Tire Balancing Weights Truing Portable Tire Stand

For motorcycle podcasts I like high-side low-side from revzilla.

I've bought tires from fortnine, pete's superbike, and revco. I always mount the front one myself. The rear one takes me like 5 hours so I've stopped mounting them myself and take it in to one of the local shops who will do it for $40-50.

I actually tried to buy the i4 before i bought my Tesla. They had the same base price and I liked the look of the bmw better. I called several dealers and they all told me they would not sell me the base i4. You had to order a higher trim which pushed the price up by about 10k. They also told me...

My problem with PHEVs is they're the worst of both worlds. You have the added complexity of both the gas and electric motors, and the added weight, and on long trips a PHEV basically turns into just a gas car. Even daily driving, my commute to work is something like 70 kms so a PHEV couldn't...

Maybe there's a big conspiracy and Musk paid the NHTSA off? :rolleyes:
