    Two 12V questions

    The GB70 specifically can power 12V devices, but I don't know if you can do it through the clamps - the manual wants you to use the 12V out port (cigarette lighter adapter, basically)

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Got lucky once again! Flushed out a bunch of black stuff from the caliper and it seems to be working now. I thought it had been flushed recently, but maybe that flush stirred up some ancient debris that settled into a blockage over last winter. Will hold my breath for a week or two, but I...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Put the battery back into my 919 at the beginning of this week, put the battery back into the TL1000S today. Discovered a fuel tank bolt under the seat had rattled off (well, I discovered that when I parked it for the winter, then forgot to do anything about it). Also the rear brake pedal is...

    Damn used 4k smart TVs getting very cheap.

    We had a Samsung 3D TV that died twice. Once while under warranty, where they sent a guy to our house to replace something substantial, and then the second time something on the motherboard gave up, parts were unobtainable. Now we have an LG 4K TV, some hrmm-years old, and while it's mostly okay...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Good, but I wouldn't crop it that much for FB/Kijiji. You can't trust that they aren't going to automatically crop it further in previews/thumbnails

    Motorcycle mistakes you only make once... and ones you make all the time...

    I think about the only mistake that I'm done making is "inappropriate" speeding, I haven't gotten a ticket in at least 15 years. The mistake I make most often is troubleshooting a bike that won't start, eliminate the battery early on, bang my head on the problem for a week or two, then replace...

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I noticed that one before. At least it seems nice... why are the throttle cables sticking so far out front though. Otherwise, it has to be someone that doesn't actually want to sell it

    Long lived high mileage rides

    MacDoc, that is 100% for sure a CBR600F3 I once met a guy in the Forks riding a Bandit 1200 with quite a bit of kilometres on it. 300,000?

    Pirelli/Metzeler recall

    2016 is going back pretty far. I wonder why it's all 150/70R18... Miscalculation on that size causing Pirelli to make it slightly out of spec?

    Used bike online listings.

    Keep an eye out for a Suzuki SX4, if you're lucky you can find one that is both AWD & manual. I came across a couple in my car search last year

    Used bike online listings.

    That said there is a nice '79 CBX on FB right now...

    Used bike online listings.

    That's pretty much it. It's been a year or two but I still do the most trading on Kijiji - you're more likely to find a deal on Facebook because for some reason half the population can't fill out an ad there properly, you just have to figure out if the "$1000 motorcycle" with a thumbnail of just...

    Royal Enfield 650 (repeated) rear brake failures

    One question, and one observation: -Do you have a service manual for any RE? What is the procedure for bleeding the ABS module? -While watching your video, I immediately noticed and disliked the design of the upwards curved banjo fitting on the rear caliper. If gas is somehow getting introduced...

    YYZ Plane Crash

    Relevant to this discussion, and talks a little bit about the 1500 hour ATP requirement and what a restricted ATP is

    Menus no prices ???

    Yeah I dunno, generally I would assume that means I can't afford to eat there

    YYZ Plane Crash

    Just to clear something up - "Pilot In Command" and being the pilot who has the controls and is flying the plane are two different things.

    YYZ Plane Crash

    Was waiting for Juan Browne to post his own video on the crash... at this point has nothing earth shattering or surprising but perhaps is still a good overview of what we currently know.

    Who is this guy? Sikorsky S-76C C-FBLU

    Noticed one of the "new" (built 1985) RCMP Blackhawks "patrolling" (flying precisely above) the "border" (the north and south shorelines of the peninsula) today, C-FHKS. I wonder if their mission is literally to fly along the shoreline so that they can produce the flight track and say that...
