    New speed signs

    OK, but wouldn't they know all of that based on where the signs were supposed to go? I haven't been following this, but were they supposed to go on the same posts where the speed cameras were mounted? In some cases, those cameras were in boxes on the ground.

    New speed signs

    How do you make brand new signs that don't fit posts of a known diameter???

    There's nothing like the feeling of running out of gas, but with enough momentum to coast into the gas station, or at least within a block of it.

    Help shopping for skis

    Where do you ski? I haven't gone in a while now that my kids are grown. When I used to go, I'd hang out on Blue Mountain's Apple Bowl all day or Horseshoe's equivalent mogul hill, but I remember sitting in the chalet in the afternoons watching as they drove the groomer over them to make them...

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    I though the only people who hated motorcycles were the ones who have never ridden.

    Stupidly overpriced motorcycle for sale thread

    I'm pretty sure Princess Auto had this welding cart on sale recently for $50. They're usually pretty good about letting you have the sale price if it's within a month or two. I bought one a while back in anticipation of getting a welder, but one of the problems is that the casters don't like to...

    Dogs and other critters

    Mine licks herself too. She also humps her pillow once or twice a day, which I thought only males did. When she first started, she would hump one of our legs as we sat on the sofa, but our reactions must have taught her to stop and now she only does the pillow. She's been spayed.

    Ghetto bidet - lift the seat, lower yourself into the bowl and flush.

    Hard to pick just one, but a lot of the earlier years were magical: - first time ever riding a bike - up and down my street on my neighbor's YZ80 - buying and riding my first bike (DT200) home from somewhere way up north - with an old motocross helmet the seller threw in, but no goggles -...

    Black Friday Deals

    I guess I could always run an extension cord to one of my 20A kitchen outlets if it became a problem. I'd be surprised if I needed to use it more than a few times a year.

    Is It Time to Leave the Sport? Honestly… I’m Starting to Wonder.

    How do you define accessible? In 1991, my friend bought a brand new ZX-7 for $8k. They no longer offer a 750 today, but a ZX-6R is $14k, and a ZX-10R is $20k. Factoring inflation, $8k is worth $16k today, so it slots right in between them as it should. In 2000, I paid around $18k for my demo...

    Black Friday Deals

    The specs say 20A. Would it work on a standard 15A outlet for something simple like tacking a nut onto something, or would it trip the breaker right away?

    Maybe edit your post to say you plan on using it on your bike, just so we can keep this in the general forum.

    Rider's Choice is also having a sale, but their site is SLOOOOOOW as molasses, so be warned (you can probably get to the store in person before the site loads).

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    I bought my 2000 Ducati 748S in the fall of 2000 as a demo from Terminal Velocity. It was the first "new" bike I had and have ever bought. It had a few hundred km's on it, and the price caught my eye because of the huge discount (vaguely remember it being around $5000 off). Full warranty started...

    Yes, anything but transportation like in European or Asian countries.

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    You're thinking of the manufacturer sponsored events like "Demo Days". But if you walk into GP Bikes any other time, they'd throw you the keys and let you go on your own - or at least they used to. I know Apex still does.

    Would you buy a demo bike ?

    Just like buying a used bike, but I'd only do it if it included the full warranty, not prorated. With modern manufacturing tolerances, an easy break-in isn't as necessary as it used to be. In fact, riding it hard helps to seat the rings better.

    OBDScan - Black Friday Sale

    OK, if it's the only one that supports your ECU, then you have no choice. But I was thinking of the case where JPDiag or TuneECU supports your ECU - is there is any additional functionality in one of these all-in-one proprietary tablets that you don't get in JPDiag or TuneECU when loaded on your...
