The best way to warm up a bike is hitting the limiter within a second of starting it

You can spray it with some bubbly liquid to check for small leaks. It looks like non-critical parts took the impact.

@omnivore used to be around here a lot. He had omnis with IIRC v8 swaps. He hasn't been on in a decade though.

And when the mortgage is paid off, they are old and don't have the garage space for huge toy cars.

Bought for 1.25, sold for 1.05. With some very optimistic rounding (as both prices are actually 50 and not 49 and 51), it could appear as 100K delta. Original list price in 2022 was 0.999M, sold for 1.25. Current list price was 1.1, sold for 1.05.

If you can get a standard and that works for you, keep on your path. Sadly, if you want a newish vehicle there are very few choices to row your own. My current car is my first auto as it is convenient being able to swap vehicles with my wife and she hates standard. Thankfully, the bike market is...

How many people less than 40 can drive standard? Or have ever ridden in a standard vehicle? I know lots of the muscle cars are auto but as a toy car, I don't like that option.

It's hard when it's not a car you lusted after in your youth. I think the Mann collection will be somewhat of an exception as they are just classically beautiful, can never be reproduced (crash standards, etc make cars ugly) and their buyer pool has infinite money. While an old muscle car is...

Ouch. It sold for 200K less than he bought it for in 2022. Add in LTT and RE fees and property tax and that house was over 6K a month without considering utilities or maintenance. If you looked at interest and/or missed opportunities and/or inflation, that can easily double the effective cost.

Condo sold for 290K which is 168K under 2023 purchase price. That isn't all that surprising. Power of sale. Again, not all that surprising other than the speed (purchase to power of sale in three years). Sale by cmhc. Fack. So we all paid for the loss the speculator caused while the speculator...

Did you release said video or are you just going to leave us hanging with the results? Did you look at the percentage of people with an ebike vs the percentage with a scorned ex-lover? If you have three ebikes and three scorned ex-lovers, does the risk increase linearly with quantity of fiery...

If there is a big root and you are concerned, with the mini-ex, you could theoretically dig around it and slide conduit under. With the trencher, you won't even know there are roots until you see chips in the swarf pile.

You might have found a way to dull it quickly. I'd probably use a conventional tooth recip blade for that as they are more tolerant of abuse and dirt. Carbide tooth if you have it should be indestructible.

Turning around in the cemetery is probably possible but I'm sure the cemetery won't love that idea and the truck will be blocking the entire road at times. Headed west, the sign wouldn't be positioned terribly but the wording sucks and the wankers made the only possible escape route a...

I have a pruning blade in a recip saw. There is no contest. Small chainsaw is infinitely better for pruning. Instead of vibrating branches and needing one hand to hold branch and one to hold saw, you can use the saw like a hedge trimmer and sweep the branches leaving your second hand free to...

TFS released another ebike fire video. Easy to see how one of these burning inside is a destructive nightmare. Flinging flaming batteries far away from the bike ensure that fire spreads quickly.

I looked at their website. While they are upfront they are aiming for the homeowner market, some of the products are headscratchers. Case in point, a "Professional top handle cordless pruning chain saw" with a huge anti-kickback guard riveted on an 8" bar. Even without the guard, sometimes there...

If you want to drool a bit. Mostly cars with a few bikes (no cruisers though). Obviously, for most people, the plan isn't to liquidate and pocket mid eight figures. https://rmsothebys.com/the-mann-collection/

Have you ridden the beast on track?

I was thinking the same thing. Wtf are they going to do at the sign? Back up a km or more to get to an intersection? They should just put chicanes with posts at each end as they are entering the section they cant get through. Space the posts so a fire truck can get through but every tractor...
