    Manual shift transmissions are safer

He too ended up rewiring them but that was back in the 70s when DIY stuff was hard to find but we had great “shop” teachers back then. He sold the lot and got a 69 Super Bee then sold...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I guess they are the MGBs and Spitfires of today, but with better electrics.

    Basecamp

    I have the plastic map pocket on the tank bag too. When on a long trip, at a break, I pull the gps off the bike and put it in my pocket. Take the tank bag in for a coffee break and browse the paper map. Fold it in the section that covers the next three hours or so and place that section in the...

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I've seen the price of used cars, not to mention new ones. I think I will drive this one into the ground first.

    Rob Harris... Ten Years After

    Thanks for posting that link. I loved CMG online when Rob started it. I met him once on one of the pub nights. What a positive and enthusiastic person. Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the accident.

    It has 260,000 kms now. I’d probably have to pay someone to take it 😂

    Manual shift transmissions are safer

    I remember when automatic transmissions were an upgrade option! It does keep you alert and engaged. Also humbled when you stall it making a left turn with your wife in the car. I taught the kids how to drive manuals by starting at the bottom of a hill (light traffic) and having them stop and...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    It still has insect eyes. But nice job on the screen. The trunk beats the Silverwood dairy crate for sure.

    Torque wrench on sale

    That’s why I like doing my own wheel changes. They always over torque them. If I have to change one at the side of the road with the included spare setup I’d never get those off. I carry a breaker bar with the correct sized socket just in case.

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    I recognize that handle from the ST forum. It is a Honda ST1100 I think 2000 model year.

    Torque wrench on sale

    When I exchanged mine they never asked for the receipt. I guess it depends on the store or who is working the customer service counter that day.

    Torque wrench on sale

    I had one for at least 20 years too and the ratcheting started to slip. Went to Cdn Tire and exchanged it for a new one and they gave me a new one without any question.
