    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    My 1290 has it and I didn't know it until it saved me when I tried to climb a huge loose hill I had no business trying to climb (by myself also mind you). Made it 3/4 up and then it held the bike until I could figure out my best course of action. Without it the bike probably would have been...

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    No I didn't. I like the brand as well as that dealer so just making it known that it was happening. I'm also about 2hrs from them so not worth it for a demo. I'd happily demo an Indian close by but wouldn't be a buyer as it wouldn't get used enough.

    Motorcycle Battery in Lawnmower

    It's a john Deere E180 mower. It still has the original 7-8yr old battery in it that I posted specs of.

    Motorcycle Battery in Lawnmower

    Question: Will the 230cca 11.8ah lead acid battery work in a riding mower that has an oem 300cca 21ah? Mower battery requires replacement and I was thinking of putting a lighter lithium battery in my 1290 anyways.

    Stocks

    You'll do fine with that. Those IT companies that it's heavily tilted towards aren't going anywhere over the long run and I feel there's some really good upside in there.

    Stocks

    Looking like much of the money to buy into this IPO is being pulled from crypto. I'll often scalp an IPO on opening but I'm staying away from this one. I'll see how it looks after it consolidates to buy some. A market pullback is more likely to happen later this year so I'm keeping funds...

    Tool Deals Thread

    How high do you have to go? I bought a Dewalt polesaw last year and I can reach the majority or what I need to cut without climbing but it's light enough that I can go up a ladder with it as well. Was under $200 on sale (tool only). I was seriously surprised how well it cuts. Wish I had have...

    Tool Deals Thread

    Either pay the extra for the Stihl/Echo/Husky or go electric. This way it's reliable and you can either sell it or pass it down when the time comes.

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    FYI Indian Motorcycles demo rides at Peak Oakville this June 12-13th. I think there was an older demo days thread but I couldn’t find it quickly.

    Ear buds

    I use the Monster Achieve earbuds under my helmet when I'm on my dirtbike, running, or generally working around the house, cutting grass, etc. They sound great, stay in your ear and are comfortable, last a good 8hrs or so (charging case is very small so easy to pack along to charge up which I...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Thanks. Mine's a K46 so I'll likely pull it apart again in the Fall if it makes it through the Summer and see what's in there that looks in need of replacement. Good to see someone else has serviced theirs with success. No help from JD on it as it's labelled as a sealed unit but some light...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Nice. Was there a kit for that? I changed the fluid on the one in my E180 JD but it still doesn't like hills. Google-foo recommends a guy on ebay to send them to but if I can do it myself I will.

    Is this riding season abnormal?

    I took the bike yesterday to look at a new trailer and new home speakers. Could see traffic was picking up around 430pm so I was home for 515pm before the people racing home or to the cottage/AirBnB got really bad. Risk avoidance helps keep me safer.
