    Did some work on my bike and no start now …

    So before you attached the car battery, all you were getting was clicking and the starter motor wasn't spinning and turning over the engine, (no "chugging")? And with the car battery connected, the starter is spinning and turning over the motor, but the motor won't fire and run on its own? That...

    Did some work on my bike and no start now …

    When you turn the key on, does the dash light up, but the starter button does nothing? Check your clutch lever switch is properly connected.

    Did you make any adjustments to the idle screw?

    Made my running bike not run by a failed carb sync

    If you search for "aux fuel tank" on Amazon, there are some for about $20 if that's in your budget. Some bare tanks meant for mini-bikes or go-karts also come up for less that you could use to make your own by adding hose, but $20 is pretty reasonable for a tank with an on/off valve and hanger...

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Only if it can be produced at an affordable cost compared to other battery technologies. And that's not counting alternative fuels, either. Besides, the way some governments are leaning, we may be back to gasoline by then.

    Any GTAM'ers own an electric vehicle?

    Nice. Makes me wonder if I should start investing a little in QS or at least VW in case this tech takes off.

    Enbridge gave me 2 infractions while changing my meter

    So my original plan was to raise the pipes to bring back the clearance, but it wasn't clear if doing that necessitated changing the black pipe to white to meet current code even if we didn't touch the appliance itself. So then it was back to digging out the grade to bring back the clearance and...

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    All good, I just ordered a bunch from Amazon. They weren't the best and the receptale sides were loose allowing some of my heavier wall warts to fall out overnight, but I guess that's what Amazon's return policy is for.

    European Motorcycle Tour

    I just got back from Bologna. The factory tour was really cool, but prepare for disappointment in the museum - much smaller than I was expecting, and I thought I'd be seeing the room with Massimo Tamburini's personal 916 on display in all its glory, but instead there was a room made to look like...

    What's the weakest link in stopping you from riding longer?

    Depends on your circulation. My hands and feet always seem to be cold, even when driving a car with good climate control. When my body finally couldn't take riding in the cold anymore, even at 10 C, I started with a FiRed Up vest but got tired of the battery always running out on me as well as...

    Good video explaining how (and when) balancing beads work

    This is the first video I've seen that actually explains the scientific principles behind how they work, but most importantly what conditions are required for them to work and why there are conflicting reports of them working for some but not others.

    Small exhaust leak around slipon

    Another option is to use a pipe expander on the pipe that goes into it to tighten the fit, if you ever plan on putting the stock muffler back on: https://www.princessauto.com/en/large-tailpipe-expanders/product/PA1000002579?skuId=9154717

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    "Ironic", considering they were built in Detroit.

    Cannot access GTAM on Android

    FWIW, I wasn't able to connect today or most (if not all) of yesterday, but heard from others that they couldn't either, so I asssumed the site was down for everyone and didn't bother troubleshooting. I guess that wasn't the case? Or maybe whatever change was made impacted me but eveything's...

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    I've been to Rome, Venice, Florence, and Lake Garda before. I don't remember much from Florence other than wanting to leave as soon as possible after being bored looking at churches and having sandwiches for lunch. It just wasn't for me. On the flip side, Rome was my favorite, I remember the...

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    I don't think I'm bringing any AC devices. Everything can be USB-charged - all DC battery (lithium) powered stuff like phones, earbuds, watches, power banks. Going to Tuscany for my niece's wedding. Starting in Rome, then to Tuscany, LaSpezia, Florence, Bologna, then back to Rome with a...

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    Thanks, I'll check all of my devices and if they can all handle the different voltage, then it makes sense all I need is a physical plug adapter where quality doesn't really matter. Hopefully that's the case - if my Blackberry could handle it 20 years ago, I'd hope Apple can do it now.

    Recomendation on power adapter for Italy?

    The last time I was in Italy was in 2007 and my Blackberry included a travel adapter that worked there. I haven't had a chance to figure out what I need to charge my iPhone, so I'm hoping some of the regular European travellers can make a recommendation on a good quality adapter before my wife...

    Regulator pooched and maybe the battery too

    Like with Amazon, I try to stick with Prime or sold/shipped by Amazon. There's a filter on Walmart as well, then you can return most items to al ocal store instead or shipping it back.
