    Anyone cut their own clip on tubes?

    How much longer do you need? I've seen ones that are 330mm (13") online. Still too short?

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    LOL. The way I fail hill climbs, no Hill Hold is going to save it, since it typically ends with me having to perform a 1RM decline bench press...

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    I'm having the same issue trying to justify a track bike, which would get used max twice a year right now. Calendar is just too chock full of other riding events. It would kill me seeing it parked in the corner of the garage gathering dust the rest of the time. Ya ya you'll keep the battery...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    Can't K-turn a bike with Hill Assist on. Very handy to be able to do that on narrow trails or performing a recovery on steep hills.

    Dealer Demo Ride: "If you break it, you buy it!"

    Did you end up going to this? I went to one last year. Cruisers aren't really my thing, but my friend's dream bike is an Indian Chief, so we accompanied her to the demo day ride. Don't really know my models, I think this one is the Chief Bobber. She likes the styling of the Vintage Chief...

    Yes. "Buy low, sell high", is how the saying usually goes. When Trump Always Chickens Out, you sell into the rally: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/live/stock-market-today-thursday-june-11-dow-sp-500-nasdaq-222511784.html When he loses his chit and threatens to blow up the world, you buy...

    Motorcycle Battery in Lawnmower

    25hp twin. That's a relatively larger motor. 230CCA might be a bit on the lean side. The Googs says 250-300CCA. Ah not that relevant because it's gas powered.

    Motorcycle Battery in Lawnmower

    Depends on how large your mower is. Ah should be how long you can mow your lawn before the battery dies. May need to recharge more often with a capacity that low... CCA is the critical number to actually start your mower. Do you have the manual or the model of the mower? Should list the CCA...

    I have Keynes rattling around in my head: "Markets will remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". Lots to be bearish about these days, yet stocks seem to be climbing that proverbial Wall of Worry faster than Spiderman with ants in his underpants. 🤷‍♂️

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I get bored at long stop lights and I like doing the rollback-clutch-forward autistic-stimming-motorcycle-rocking thing while I wait for the light to change. Used to do that in my car all the time too. One of my bikes has HSC (Hill Start Control) which prevents rollbacks. Turned that shiznit...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    Yes! There's a 145hp hybrid version. Unfortunately, I got the base one. Still, you get to wring out each gear to redline with the stickshift. However, there is a shift-light indicator on the dash which *strongly* urged me to granny-shift the car in every gear except sixth. I dutifully ignored...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    Thankfully no. But I did have to dust off my eBrake-hill-start skills. That really cut into my texting and driving time... :rolleyes: :mad: (see how I skillfully brought this thread back to the original topic?)

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    Thread necromancy: Just rented a manual transmission car. 2025 Renault Clio. First time driving stick in close to 15 years. It has some kind of "anti-stall" technology where if you stall the car in gear (did I mention first time driving stick in a decade and a half? Also, was reversing the car...
