    Helmets - Modular or Full-Face?

    Yeah I just checked. Being a "clearout", sizes and colours are not available. But it is interesting to see the price differences. I have no idea what MSRP was for that helmet, but ADM Sport listed $1099.99 with a "clearout price" of $879.99 for a $220 saving. The latter I find acceptable. Now...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    In the Alps, you'll find cattle in the fields and on the roads in the mountains, and when it rains that poop turns to **** as far as being slippery is concerned.

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Can't be much worse than a Meadow Muffin on a wet day in the Alps and there is no sign for those. At your young age? That a piddly 181 km ride. We gotta talk! ;) Got a pic from the Sky Rail of the road prior to it entering Smithville from Kuranda. A few nice twists in it.

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    Oh quit yer complaining. I'll take that instead of the figgin cold we have back home. The only time I minded a sweaty wet t-shirt was when I stepped into the air conditioned Cairns Central Shopping Centre. I got back from Oz about a month ago and the only time I went out so far was to get...

    Klim gear warranty claims

    Same thing when I first bought my KLIM Latitude jacket and pants in 2016 that I still wear to this day. The crotch got damp/wet. Of course you need to mail them back. I did and they send me a new pair ultra fast.

    Two 12V questions

    Way back when they first came out, it was a rocker switch. It allowed you to turn off your heated gear and turn it back on as needed. A fixed period with a variable duty cycle is a temperature controller. I made one long before (early 90s) they were commercially available. A simple 555 timer...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    And roughly half of a mountain pass is downhill and if you are going at it and late braking, your arms the next day know it.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    You mean sharp corners like this where the tires wear bald on the sides and the center is still good for our roads back home.

    Helmets - Modular or Full-Face?

    I'm back to using a flip-up helmet with my Shoei Neotech that I bought in 2016. It is my second flip-up helmet with a Schuberth C? being my first many years ago. I've always been a Shoei RF user (200, 700, 900 series), but I much prefer the flip-up option for speaking to people, taking pics...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I do just as we used aircraft logs. But then I run 3 vehicles and another 4 that are in storage. I have a good memory, but it is not that good.

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    I rest my case. Like anything, stop blowing my tax dollars on foreign aid or charities aka money laundering, government propaganda aka media, etc. Instead, generate funds from private individuals who have a bleeding heart or want the service (and pay for it like Netflix, Prime, etc). I take a...

    Two 12V questions

    Are you talking about a SWITCH or a TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER? A switch like the one on your wall at home simply closes a circuit and by closing it you can measure resistance in your heated gear. And if you are not getting a steady reading, it is likely you are not making a good solid contact with...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    Define "indirect government support" and who would that be specifically? And is that support in the $ billions? And a tax credit is not really funding or a subsidy.

    YYZ Plane Crash

    Sort of like asking Eddie Lawson who is the fastest. He'll tell you.

    YYZ Plane Crash

    Two things that had me not own an aircraft. If it is a production aircraft, you cannot do the maintenance yourself without having an AME licence. When I was instructing, if the weather was down, I'd be in the hangar wrenching on aircraft, both club and member aircraft. The full time mechanic...

    Riding Down Under - Tropical Cairns Australia

    You are worried about "torrential" rain? How would you like to handle a ride at -23C. Been there, done that. I'll take the rain. Been there, done that. A couple of days ago I was thinking about a flight back to QLD. I was drinking a beer out of a chilled mug out of the freezer and I had my...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    A battery test of the factory installed BMW YUASA YTZ14S when it failed at 7 years 4 months and a new YUASA YTZ14S. I used a TOPDON BT200 battery tester. A few things to note. Many people not clued into electronics will say the battery measured full voltage, somewhere between 12.6V and 12.9V...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    If it was an AGM, yes, if not then I use the standard "Car" battery mode or if it is a low Ah battery as in on a motorcycle, I'll use the "Motorcycle" low current mode. I hardly use the CTEK anymore. I use the Harbor Freight Viking 4A 6/12V charger/maintaintainer with several modes. I like the...
