    This weather

    I thought we were having a pretty good run of sunny weather, honestly

    Internet is down

    I've been with Cogeco ever since they expanded into my neighbourhood - I have had a few outages with them, but they've all been for local reasons. Interestingly they have repeatedly had issues with copper thieves cutting the fibre. Before that it was Bell, which I continue to be happy to not be...

    The Reasonably Priced Used Motorcycles for Sale Thread

    Right? For having only 1000km on the clock it sound like they were rough on it

    Suzuki s40

    I think the S40 is elegant in its simplicity - there's not a whole lot that can go wrong with it. And they're nice looking. It's not going to have a "pile of power" though, absolute best case scenario is 34hp. Now, I do believe that can be enough power, but if you go in with expectations of it...

    Older riders or a question for the collective...

    I feel like you should be under $1000 easy

    Can am canyon adventure trike

    I dunno, it almost makes sense to me. The thing is most fire roads I picture in my mind have two tire tracks. So the rear wheel is going to be riding on the uneven middle section the whole time... I see enough Spyders pass through the neighbourhood to know that Can-Am has sufficient customers...

    Anyone riding with a heart condition??

    Funny that this thread comes up the morning after I have a dream about a doctor giving me a heart monitor

    Grips

    Hoping for some good answers as I am in exactly the same boat. I need grips and I would buy Spider grips if I could, but they're deceased

    Do you do a pre-flight check before every ride?

    Nope. I do a wiggle check on things once or twice a season. However, most years I am the ONLY person that touches anything on my bikes. And that photo is a good example why

    What are you currently playing?

    As a multi-decade PC enthusiast... I would just buy a PS5 these days. The price of GPUs is beyond stupid, nobody is seriously interested in manufacturing realistic midrange or entry graphics cards anymore. And motherboards are also stupidly priced, tarted up with cheap garnish but having useful...

    What are you currently playing?

    I'm trying to track down a physical copy for PS5, they all sold out nearly instantly

    The cursed USS Harry S. Truman

    I'm sure we've discussed some of these earlier events individually in the past, but line them up together and it starts to seem like the aircraft carrier is cursed or haunted. December 22, 2024: USS Gettysburg shoots down an F/A-18F from the Truman in a friendly fire incident February 12...

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    Some but not all. I haven't seen a green screen at the parts counter in years... made self-serve easier when they left them unattended, I don't know how to work the new ones. Though these days I mostly buy parts from Rock Auto so I guess it doesn't matter

    Where's the ignore button?

    I was thinking it would be nice if it was possible to selectively ignore, i.e. ignore new threads by a given poster but not replies in threads they didn't start. That might be asking too much

    New BMW R1300RT

    What I actually dislike the most about that thing is the popped-out "media tablet" style of dashboard. I hate that crap on cars, and I think it has even less of a place on a motorcycle. The tech stuff? Meh, it's fine. The 60-70 year olds buying these things could probably use the help anyway

    I WON!!!!

    I am not denigrating you, your victory, or the motorcycle in any way. But my first reaction was "Yamaha STILL makes those??"

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    @Priller Where did you find that? I'm pretty sure that's wrong, I got YTA-12BS off a Kawi parts diagram. That could also be connected to Pegassus's troubles as I think those ALL might be wrong (older ER6n models used a YTX-12BS I think)

    Everybody Give Me Wrong Battery, Even When I Give Them My Ownership

    Is it not supposed to be a YTA-12BS? That's what I get off an online parts fiche
