How easy is it to check the acid level? Overcharging typically boils it off so it might just need a top-up and then recharge.

I do like my company-provided Thinkpads, but only because it has a TrackPoint. Seems to be less common with other brands, and I can't stand TrackPads.

As far as I understand, the only way to run Windows apps "natively" on Linux is to use WINE which is just an API translator and not 100% compatible. The alternative for 100% compatibility is to run a Windows VM within Linux, which includes all the bloat you're looking to avoid. If I were...

Same way they would normally do it? This is a pciture of the new tablet taking a photo of the calipers used to measure rotor thickness on a car. Use the other side to measure the pad thickness between the pad and the rotor. On a bike you don't even have to remove the wheel.

Do you have software that won't run on OS-X, or are there other reasons for avoiding Mac? Personally I'm an Intel guy, but that's because I don't need mobility or care about performance, so I get away with $300 desktop hardware. As I understand, a Macbook should be ideal for your use case. This...

But Bob no longer lives in Canada. Sorry, inside joke that a few GTAMER's will get.

That doesn't make sense if you were having the same problem as me - the site not loading at all, so that's before you even get to the login.

Don't they need to have an actual certified tech do the safety and not juust an apprentice? On top of that, don't they also have to be licensed for bikes? In any case, I'd be erring on the safe side with a car shop the first time and asking if they need to remove anything for the inspection...

Yup, one of my 998's velocity stacks has a broken tab on it from a Ducati master mechanic prying it off instead of twisting. The guy's generally pretty good, but my jaw hit the ground the last time I removed the tank to figure out why my fuel economy dropped from 48 MPG to only 37, stranding me...

IMHO, The Burger's Priest still has the best traditional fries, and Rosie's for their crinkle fries. And outside of the GTA Memphis Fire for their tater tots.

I've been using Dupont Teflon spray in its various forms over the decades. Some say it's not as good as it used to be, but I've always used it as more of a cleaner and protectant than a lube. I only clean my chain with a cloth, no brushes, and the dirtiest they are is when they're new and coated...

Nice, all horror stories considered, but damn - that's 2.5x what it used to cost me compared to my last safety.

Do they have a flat-rate price for safety, or is it by time (and what did yours come out to)?

If you have a stable front wheel chock, then I'd be comfortable using a generic non-spooled rear swingarm stand after the front is secured. I may even have an old Hindle in my basement you can borrow, but will have to check in case I already lent it out to someone else and forgot.

Also, with a bad battery you should be able to hear a difference in cranking. And no matter how well you explain it, there will always be questions, so take a video and show the tachometer and all dash lights while cranking.

I think part of it might be in your head, because a mid-80's Honda Interceptor weighs about the same (dry), so maybe a little heavier if the tanks are both full. Or maybe it's the weight distribution that makes it feel heavier because of the extra height. I do notice that pushing my Diavel...

No doubt this guy is a **** driver, but did I miss where it was reported that he's an immigrant?

It's sad that this is the type of review I've heard about GP in the past when they were smaller. Good to know that Wheelsport still understands customer service at 50 years, when GP seems to be falling down at only half that age.

I highly recommend the "Yeager style schnitzel" at Cafe BC in the Bancroft area. Been there twice so far and hasn't diasspointed, especially the first time when they served it in a styrofoam box and forced us to eat on a park bench during Covid. https://maps.app.goo.gl/BvsB6Uz2bTGkpL4M9 And...
