I used the DIY ceramic coating on my car (which has to be reapplied every few months - which is easy). When it's fresh, no need for the car wash, a sharp stream of water from the hose floats most of the dirt off without even having to touch the car. I would imagine the professional stuff is even...

In fairness, after this short period of time without the FAA having an administrator (10 days... ! ! !) it probably didn't make one whit of difference to the helicopter pilot or the airplane pilot or the air traffic controller whether the FAA had someone filling in the administrator role.

How about an article that pre-dates the plane crash. https://www.npr.org/2024/12/12/nx-s1-5226796/faa-head-resign-mike-whitaker-january-boeing This is an article concerning the relationship between him and Elon Musk...

Trump press conference had him blaming DEI for this. Friendly reminder that he's actively trying to dismantle federal government departments that oversee stuff like this, and air traffic control (federal responsibility) has been chronically understaffed for a long time.

Today's youtube find (this job is more complicated than yours): In your situation, you can skip the first part that concerns camshaft and cylinder head removal, and when it gets to the cussing and swearing part, yours doesn't have the same situation because yours doesn't have stacked...

Yes, same guy. Are you thinking of Gianni Setten (may have spelling wrong)?

IMO she's done. Look for a complete engine, or get another bike and part that one out. Interestingly, the parts diagram suggests that this engine (955i?) has replaceable cylinder liners, which is really unusual in bike engines nowadays ... but it's of no help if the parts are no longer...

That appears to be for cars. Here's what I found for motorcycles: https://www.ontario.ca/laws/regulation/900611#BK8

Yep. Wonder if the pricing for that inspection accounts for all the stuff that doesn't need doing with an EV. Dealers don't always have it together ... on the Bolt facebook groups, we have a chuckle when the dealers send out their form letter reminders with a coupon for an oil change. I...

Screenshots just look like an inspection checklist, and the cost items pertained to tires (and nothing else) which were "attention in the near future". That is a very extensive checklist. There's a whole lot of stuff on that checklist that have nothing whatsoever to do with an EV. Why is...

That's a troll post (of which there are many), but anybody who buys a Porsche (of any sort) in order to have low running costs, is out of their mind. I can count on one hand the number of times the hood of my Bolt has been opened (just short of 70 000 km right now). A couple times to see what...

I'm good with not owning a Muskmobile.

I'm more concerned with the overreaction - perfectly functional aftermarket parts being rejected because "they're not stock", and IF ... THEN ... enforcement of trivial matters that have no bearing on the vehicle being "safe" in the grand scheme of things. Lots of older bikes may become...

I know someone who placed a deposit on one.

I've done this on other bikes, just not this one. It'll be the same idea: Engine out (means exhaust, cooling system, chain, all electrical connections, throttle bodies have to come out or be disconnected first - you might get away with disconnecting the throttle bodies and leaving them in the...

Kleptocratic kakistocracy to the south of us. Crypto allows foreign entities who want to bribe the USA to do it in a way that escapes accountability.

House-call safety inspections are not legal. IMO have a discussion with your preferred shop, and ask them whether the upcoming changes to the system are going to have an effect, and ask THEM what date you need to have it done by, in order to have it done in advance of any issues or cost...

GM got the headlight switch right. The "auto" position is next to the "off" position, the switch spring-loads back to "auto" if you select "off" (which normally there's never a reason to do, but it's there if you insist) and on the Canadian models, even if you turn them "off", it goes back to...

Building cars is hard. Arrival went bust about a year ago. Some chap bought up some of the leftovers and has been tearing them down ... revealing some questionable and expensive design decisions under the skin. edit: Random automotive mechanical design-nerd observation. Upper and lower...

Street bike, ZX10R. I found that the Q5S lasts longer and holds its profile better (longer) than the Q3+ did before the steering starts getting messed up.
