    Abba Skylift

    Just bought one and was wondering if anyone here has one and ever thought about making fittings for them. I have some dirt bikes and an 87 CBR that Abba doesn't sell fittings for. I have a micro lathe and mill, and a bunch of tooling that I barely know how to use, but this seems like it...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Spent a few hours trying to resurrect an old lawnmower someone had put out last year. I have a riding mower and a new self-propelled mower but at my cottage I cannot have too many backups- my rider is already out of commission for want of a starter. Looks like fuel isn't getting to the plug...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    Fortunately, I was able to avoid the modding rabbit hole. Out of that , I might never have emerged.

    building a ramp for a shipping container?

    So, I’ve been thinking on and off about this but hadn’t had time to actually do anything concrete. We had a ton of damage from the ice storms and such and I’ve spent a good part of the last while cutting fallen trees and dropping other ones that need to go. Our lake was also subject to...

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    I went to a couple of HBCs when they started liquidation to see if they had any high end G-Shocks marked down. Didn't see anything better than the 25-40% discounts that were regularly offered (although, I think only for watches less than $500?). Were there ever any decent deals on MR-Gs? I...

    I took the course early this year. I've already forgotten a lot of it.

    Do you do a pre-flight check before every ride?

    I don't do a check every time I ride. I know I should.

    Peak Design - 40% Off Sale Motorcycle Mounts

    That's amazing that they paid for the Apple repair. For an iPhone 12, that must have been a substantial amount of money. Good for them! I am indeed cautious with vibration dampeners. None of them claim (understandably) to dampen all the relevant frequencies, so if some of them are getting...

    Peak Design - 40% Off Sale Motorcycle Mounts

    LOL. I was walking up to second floor in our house and we could hear you roar off down the street. Your car sounds awesome!

    Peak Design - 40% Off Sale Motorcycle Mounts

    Big - and delayed - shout out and thank you to @Evoex who gave me the stem mount. I was curious and it is indeed as nice as described. The quality really shines through in a way that neither my RAM nor Quadlock mounts do. I knew their camera stuff was top-notch, but now I know their mounts...

    3D Printing out of production motorcycle parts (including metal) keeps the classics on the road.

    So, I was digging around trying to find the name of the company that had gone under (it was Airtech). I found my way back to a thread where an email was posted from the owner saying that it was "too late" and that the molds had gone in the dumpster. But, after I found some posts from someone...

    Lol that "Lamtto" is now a benchmark! Let us know how it works.

    I WON!!!!

    That's too bad. I searched and couldn't find something like that. Every video demonstrating "tight" figure-8s were in bigger spaces. Closest I could come was Goldwings doing it in 2x2. I bet a video like that could pick up a lot of views. EDIT: Here's one video of a Goldwing. I'm not...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Did you check places like Aliexpress? I would wager the same products (perhaps under different names) are available. It’s still buying from China, but at least you avoid the America part. Edit: @PacoT beat me to it.

    I WON!!!!

    Do you have a video of that? I know guys do figure eights in 2x2 parking spots with Goldwings - which is crazy - but doing it in a single spot in any bike seems a world more mind boggling to me. As I try to imagine it, I think it would have been hard for me on my old BMX bike. EDIT: Not...

    R1300 triple black

    To my eye that bike has the same blocky look through the front half as the Desert X: Is all that thickness through the middle for an extra-large fuel tank?

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    I thought the Radian was a nice looking bike in the right color scheme. I seemed to remember it being a little more angular though.

    3D Printing out of production motorcycle parts (including metal) keeps the classics on the road.

    Not sure there would be profit, but enthusiasts might scan them for their mutual benefit. Maybe offer the models for sale, to be downloaded and printed by the end user/buyer. I know the profit motive dominates our thinking, but the success of open source software shows that people are willing...
