If it needs a wall-wart or has an inline brick, odds are extremely high it will be fine. That includes pretty much all electronics that use USB, CPAP devices, laptops, etc. The main things to watch for are things like hair dryers (will be in every hotel/AirBnB anyway) and hair straighteners...

I mean, I guess if it was just a CBR600 sans fairing in the same way the original Monster was a parts-bin special cobbled together using existing 851 parts, but it isn't. It's got a retuned CBR600 engine, but the frame and everything else is unique to the 599. I know I'm being a humourless...

You want a Type C 2-prong adapter. There are a few different kinds of outlets in Italy, but that one should cover all but the weirdest. Most electronics will say 110-240V or similar, in which case you only need the adapter. Don't bring anything genuinely AC like a hairdryer, though. We like...

Makes zero sense. There's literally nothing about the 599 that's inspired by Ducati. I mean, I guess the underseat exhausts that were ubiquitous in the era could be 'inspired' by the 916, but considering Ducati stole that first from the Honda NR750 (among many other details on the 916), I don't...

I guess when not being used as a wheelie bar, that exhaust could work like a wheelbarrow handle and be used to wheel the bike around your garage...

Street Triple is a pretty easy conversion if you just want to do track days. Take off the lights and kickstand, change the coolant, job done. Maybe add some sliders. You can put on different bars, I guess, but many prefer the leverage of the wider bars over the ability to tuck in anyway. It's...

Every card has issues in the right/wrong circumstances, and there isn't anything different with Nvidia. Most Radeon issues can be traced to incomplete uninstallation of the Nvidia drivers (they're like a virus, extremely difficult to fully uninstall) or improper RAM settings. A full DDU wipe of...

Wow. Looks amazingly stock, too, only a tail tidy that I can see with a quick look. If there's no hidden damage, that's a bargain and a half.

There's nothing about AMD Ryzen CPU's that will create any issues, they've been more reliable and better value than Intel for years now (and don't mysteriously degrade in performance over time). It's a bit more complicated for the GPU, as programs like Premiere Pro can use the AI CUDA cores...

No clue on what the actual price would be here, just that there is a BYD model in China that has a ~300 km range that sells for around $14k CAD. Once you add various safety certifications etc, I'd expect that price to at least double, but that's still cheaper than all but the most budget ICE...

Taking the 100% tariff off of Chinese EV's would make them instantly affordable, but would be problematic for the various EV factories they're trying to get built in Ontario. Still, if the US and Euro automakers kowtow to Trump's demands, those are DOA anyway, so we might as well enjoy the...

Not unique to Ford. We cross-shopped the Maverick and Ridgeline, and I was interested in a more base model Honda. Was told nothing for at least a year, but they had plenty of the Black models available at a roughly 20% premium from $50k to $60k, if I recall. Looking at theit website now...

I assume the Express version with the tall cabin and smaller cockpit? Not a lot of hiding space in a normal one, just a single cozy berth. If it's the Express, that's a lot of boat for a motor under 5 litres. I looked at repowering my 20 out of curiosity, and rebuilt 5.7's with the twin barrel...

To be fair, the video is a lot more nuanced than that. He breaks down a bunch of the elements, from design, movement, dial, finishing, etc. And he doesn't dismiss Rolex, Zenith, JLC, and up watches, as he owns quite a few. He covers how some cost is purely in the exclusivity of a brand, but a...

I've always thought that black 1545 on a bracelet with the curtain dial was excellent value... Another great video from YouTube's most clear-eyed watch guy: Basically uses watches in the $1-3k USD bracket to break down what you're paying for and where the value is in the watch world...

Log into Facebook A few battle scars on the starboard hull, but otherwise a pretty clean bike for a fair price. Never the belle of the ball, but with the vestiges of old Honda build quality and a pretty significant amount of oomph, you could do a lot worse. Also saw a beauty Triumph Sprint...

I was all set to write a diatribe about how they just don't make 'em like they used to, but then I Googled "registered vehicle average age". Turns out vehicle average age on the road has increased steadily since the '70s, from around 7 years then to a record of over 12 years in the US and 10...

That's the deal these ones are coming off of. They have a similar one for the Polestar 3's at $900/mo, which is still cheap but only if you consider the $120,000 base price reasonable...

DOT 5.1 in the track bike needs changed a lot more often. Spending $25 to save unnecessary changes is a bargain for me, even if it's to get a sense of how often changes are actually required. I don't want to be figuring that out when the lever comes to the bar at the end of the back straight...

Cool tool. Had no idea they existed. Though based on the reviews, it seems the extra $15 for this one is well worth it. Mine arrives tomorrow...
