Wow! Very nice. I think the gold is a ‘73 UK colour. We got those in purple in ‘73 I believe. The only gold ones I’ve ever seen are in pictures usually from the UK. I’ve seen lots of purple ones though.My brother had a killer ‘72 originally blue but painted candy apple red with a Rickman fairing.

Those Honda 400’s were great bikes in their day, I knew a few guys that had them. If you absolutely had to have one now to recapture your youth, I would say that an absolutely pristine, low mileage bike like that (original paint, under 10,000km.) would be worth $10,000 to many of the the right...

Saw this recently on St. Patrick’s Day. My step kids and I try to watch an Irish themed movie every year and I suggested this. Great performances and has really stood up well after over thirty years.Definitely worth a second watch even if you saw it all those years ago. Famous for it’s “big...

Sheet trick?

Nice bike, a friend of mine had an earlier air cooled version. A slip on exhaust and jet kit really woke those things up. Not sure about the liquid cooled version, I didn’t know they transitioned to loquid cooling.

I’m The only problem I see with what you’re proposing is the second charger. I think the inspector would question that, otherwise you would be fine in my opinion.You forgot the circuit for the 60 gallon 240V compressor.Your chargers are considered a continuous load ( anything that could...

The code does not allow you to crush electrical cables, I was just suggesting a cheap alternative.That cable is pretty tough, not likely that your garage door will crush it. If you think it will don’t do it.

I thought Teslas were a 60 amp charger? The 100 amp that I did was for a GMC pickup. It’s the only residential 100 amp charger I’ve ever seen but I don’t do a lot of residential work. I avoid it like the plague. i’m actually surprised that he was OK with it. The transformer feeding this guy‘s...

I’ll check my code book but that is what the inspector requested. That was last summer. Was it possible that you were feeding it from a nearby sub panel? The 100 breaker would meet the disconnecting means requirement if it was within 25’ and within sight I think, or something like that.

This is my neighbor’s (across the street) main drain. Bell was installing fiber optic cable along Highway 12 through Brooklin last year with a directional boring machine, shortly after he started having problems with his basement flooding etc. This went on for a few months and finally he got...

… or just run the charger chord under the garage door.

That’s one way of looking at it but no, it’s not for various reasons. The size of your service is based on a demand factor calculation. It takes into account all major loads (stove, ac, electric heat, electric hot water, hot tubs etc). It also takes into account the square footage of your home...

Again, there is still the possibility that you could use both receptacles to power 2 chargers at the same time and overload the 50 amp feed to the panel. You could argue that you only have one charger and will only be plugging in one at a time but I don’t think an inspector would accept that.

If that’s the case you would have to run 2 50amp circuits. The inspector would say that there is nothing stopping you from plugging a car in in the garage and one outside thereby overloading the circuit. The other option is to run a 100 amp feed out to the garage and install a 100 amp panel. You...

Also if you’re going through the trouble of running wire for receptacles in your garage and outside I would strongly recommend that you run #12 AWG wire and make those 20 amp receptacles. Same amount of work, just a slightly higher cost for wire but well worth it.

If you’re talking about a 15 or 20amp 120v receptacle, exterior receptacles require their own circuit, you can have more than one but they all have to be exterior receptacles.You can’t have additional interior receptacle on that circuit.So yes you need 2 separate circuits.

I installed a 80amp charger on the side of a guys house for a pick up truck about 2 years ago. That required a 100amp circuit.Once you go over 60 amps a disconnect is required next to the charger, since it was outside it had to be a weatherproof disconnect. That installation was not cheap. I’m...

In the US the electrical code requires an EV rated 50 Amp receptacle, it’s got a little green car on it. I’ve never seen one here but I’m sure they are coming. If a receptacle is rated at 50 amps it should be able to safely carry that load whether it’s stove or EV charger, the receptacle doesn’t...

Perfect, keep it simple I always say. I have a BMW Z4 that doesn’t make that clicking noise when the signals are on and I always forget to cancel them. The device that makes that sound is on a circuit board behind the instrument cluster and a huge pain to replace. I may have to use something...
