Years ago a guy I used to know in Texas was making home made dynos using arduino, some welding tools, a big heavy metal roller, and a harbor freight table lift. This isn't the guy I knew but it's the same idea: Part 1 and Part 2 Anyone ever seen some kind of home made setup like...

Drones have onboard GPS and internal compass. They also know what their own flight path was that got them to where they are. Even if GPS was overwhelmed, drone typically wants uppies, not downies, when it looses connection (it goes to pre-programmed altitude, usually put very high to avoid...

Smart thinking. He used the restricted TTC vehicles only lanes because he knew even the cops aren't allowed on there anymore. Doesn't need to be anything that expensive. My Talaria MX-5 would comfortably do 90+ km/hr, and when my body was broken from the car accident last summer and just...

This was inspiring to me. I had to expand on it lol

There's a little @nakkers alive in all of us lol

LOL. Ok, you got me. I've never driven a Miata. I'm a bike guy through and through. It just seemed like the kind of thing I can see myself taking with the dog beside me if my body is too broken to ride. Re: Soul, I see it kind of parallel to character - If you put me on the bike blindfolded...

All good, it happens a lot around here lol

But what does this have to do with me saying it's easy to love a 650cc thumper? I wasn't comparing the two. But yes, I do keep one of mine in a country very close to Germany, and yes, when I thought I might need a regulator I was told I would have to a wait an entire 1-2 days before it would...

Not quite the same thing, but another 650cc single cylinder big thumper. I read this immediately after writing a multi paragraph essay in another thread about why I love riding my BMW G650GS... I own two of them. Definitely in love with my pair of German tractorcycles. @Norcorider one nice...

If everything to do with motorcycles is easy, congratulations, you have money lol. When I was starting, I was broke. Everything to do with motorcycles was hard. Back then I would have liked motorcycles that were easier in all kinds of ways, but those cards weren't on the table at that point...

....Welcome to riding a Vespa. I'm sure the Mini Moto people get the same thing. Different vehicles get different levels of respect, space, attention, and consideration. And despite what the "loud pipes don't do anything" crowd will tell you, different volumes also get different results...

Same. Maybe it's a Euro ear thing, otherwise @ToSlow will have the same issue. Even when I could get ear buds to stay in when I put my helmet on, as soon as I took my helmet off it's an instant game of where on the ground did those ear buds land because at least one will always fall out.

What's stopping you from using the speakers in your helmet? I use ear plugs to block out the wind noise, and the speakers in my helmet. Works for me.

Not sure if anyone else remembers but it was FUCKIN COLD right up until mid June last year.... I remember this distinctly because we barely had one solid week of really nice weather before I left for Italy, June 23rd of 2025. As someone who works in the motorcycle biz, I made sweet **** all...

If you have 35 seconds, watch from 6:05 to 6:40 and you'll see the work that goes into replacing front vs rear tire on the Vespa GTS 250:

$5000, to spend another $1000 and a weekend to get it all sorted out, so that when it's all fixed up and good you can have a nice bike worth $3000 lol

Glad you got 'er all sorted out. Didn't realize it was the rear tire! Yeah, on a Vespa, that's a freakin' process. The upside is, with the single sided front end (no traditional front forkS on a Vespa, the front end uses 1940s airplane landing gear design), it's faster and easier to change the...

I just had to ask when the last time it was known to have run was... But I wonder if I may have found the answer already... Sticker's dated April 88 :\

lol. Guess we aren't a Gaoler approved team then. We've just owned a home together for almost a decade. I have 9 motorcycles across two countries. She has a horse that could either be worth $80k with a couple year's training, or could loser her $40k if it's gets injured/sick during that time...
