I have had my 919 fail to start twice within a month. First time I yanked the battery, fully charged it up on a CTEK charger, put it back in, rode it, then let it sit a week or two. It just barely failed to start both times (turning over but not lighting off). Yanked it again, charged it again...

*cough* I suppose the two are both spares to the third bike, a ZX-11 that hasn't run in... some years. Anywho! The 919 got going after only a little charger therapy, but gonna hafta investigate that a little further. Will charge it up fully over the weekend and see about getting it tested next...

Have had two bikes for a while now. Didn't really intend to, but selling one of them has been a low priority, and sometimes it is handy to have a "spare". Struck out on both of them today though. TL1000S rear tire is totally flat, and 919 wouldn't start (suspicious of the tiny battery...

I'm surprised! I expected them to have been completely dissolved two years ago already.

They ran it?? What day was that?

That one *might* be C-FKUR as it is a H130 currently listed for sale on HeliTrader, and the livery on that sale listing matches FMJ's photo. The current owner might have a PIA (privacy ICAO address) because I can't find any evidence of it flying recently. Or they just don't turn ADS-B on

Just looked at the rules for KSR, Pro 6, Shannonville, CSBK and VRRA and none of them specify anything about the chin strap. KSR and Shannonville will even let you use a DOT helmet. DOT, ECE, and Snell all specify that the chin strap is basically capable of decapitating you

That press photo is diabolical, that rider must be less than five feet tall. Someone buy a bike at auction for a "project" and is now having second thoughts?

I think I might have met her on a GTAM group ride 20 years ago... rest in peace.

I really hope that extra mirror is screwed on because the glass in the original one is broken

So I'm not gonna say that video is or is not AI, but the ET9 does have fully active suspension. And it is in fact a direct evolution of the Bose system. https://www.motortrend.com/news/bose-active-suspension-lives-as-electrohydraulic-skyride-on-nio-et9

One more vintage bike, 1980 CB750F $2400. It's not ready to ride but it's not exactly a basket case either. Complete except for mirrors. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1356450939423938

The Magna is also kinda of ugly but in a less offensive way... that commercial is rad though, we could use more of those

The GS1150s are all ugly as sin. Sorry not sorry

The CB1100F was cooler than the CB900F and nobody will ever convince me otherwise That said it is very unlikely I will ever pay collector prices for one. There was a tiny brief window in time where you could buy them for cheap, that time has passed

This reminds me I saw a CB1100F come up for sale somewhere this month. It doesn't appear to be listed anymore, so I guess they got what they were asking (wasn't cheap)

I dunno what to say about that other than that's stupid.

Sooooo my dad's Silverado 1500 6.0 L76 suddenly became very unhappy. Possible AFM failure, we are evaluating his options, but considering fixing it myself. I know there have been recent discussions for moto machinists but I am looking for recommendations for folks who do auto cylinder heads that...

I dunno, I'd be haggling that one down

Importing experiences vary wildly depending on who you're dealing with on the other side of the counter that day
