So how do we sign up for one of these?? I'd wanna go inverted, but also wanna know I'd not have to clean the cockpit if my stomach wasn't as keen.

Did I run a foul of the semantics police. You get the point. If you don't run red lights or speed those cameras don't affect you ASSUMING no one steals or borrows your car.

I'm with @Relax. "winterizing" is just another word for rolling it into the garage. One tender gets shared around between four bike/batteries. I havn't used Stabilizer in years.

Cameras (red light or speed) only penalize the law breakers. I'm good with them. There's no "cash cow" if people obey the laws. Lots of whinning over nothing.

Built it years ago for a $100 Ice bike challenge. (Spoiler I spent $80 on new purpose made studs and blew the limit) Motor was stuck and I rebuilt it. The velocity stacks are made from plastic urine sample jars with the bottom cut out and screen hot-glued in the lid. To make sure they don't clog...

With all that sunshine it was time to Travel Gravel.

Question for the group. On a business trip to Germany circa mid 2000s I was gifted a bottle of Arthur Melsheimer Riesling-Sekt Favorit by a colleauge who was a relation and also named Melsheimer. He said it was the German equivalent of champagne. Almost lost it at the airport because I'd just...

When I looked at those I was thinking possible KLR replacement for me, but after living with the big thumper this long I don't think a parallel twin would cut it.

Once I know what I want I'll go buy it. I can buy a bike a lot faster than the Squeeze and I take to buy a new piece of furniture.

I sacrificed a perfectly good 750 SOHC transmission gear and 3 old bicycles to build a reverse steering bicycle.

That's one butt fugly machine. They should keep it in India.
