Just put some bigger tires on that Ecosport... Then it's practically the same thing. ?

I think the thing that annoys me about the oil changes I get at my dealer is that every single time they neglect to replace the bottom 3 rubber flap retaining screws in the wheel well. Like I won't notice. Every. Single. Time. I know right away on a hard left turn as I exit the lot and my...

I'm in WI too and that's what I put in my motorcycles. But being even more picky, I use gas stations that have individual hoses and nozzles per gas type. All-in-one nozzles where you push a button to select gas type, you're getting about a gallon of whatever low grade ethanol crap the last...

To me it's less of an age thing and more of a finances thing. When I was young and poor I could save a few bucks and do it myself. These days it's not about money anymore but my time. I don't enjoy changing my oil so I just pay someone else to do it, and much faster than it would take me. I...

Ordered a new handlebar stem of revised angle and length. Time to try new stuff beyond what we can adjust. Happy wife, happy life. ? Also our new carbon goodness was a little dusty from the last ride so we touched it with a microfiber. ?

The wife and I picked up some new Specialized road pedal bikes. In our old age we finally moved from drop bar racing style bikes to flat bar for more comfort and because our racing days are over. Mine seems to be set up ok but my wife can't stop her hands from going to sleep even though it's a...

Holy crap, sounds bad but .... This may not be widespread, I don't think everyone in that build range needs to get all excited.

I have to agree... and not only that but cutting out key structural members that provide rigidity to the tailgate right across the point where the cables connect is a big no-no to me. I definitely would not want a motorcycle tire bearing it's weight on the tailgate anymore.

I love some SM action. I can't remember which of my supermotos I've posted in the other thread. I know I posted my KTM 690R. Maybe not my CRF450R. Super fun tossing this thing around the kart track.

Mmmm. '84 RZ350 here. Power valves, performance reeds, expansion chambers, and the ultra-rare solo seat cowl from the factory. I hunted 600 Hurricanes and Ninjas back in the day and left them in a cloud of blue smoke thinking WTF!

I think I posted a lot of my bikes in the other "Motorcycle BS Thread" but here's an action pic or 2 that I haven't posted yet.. I'm on the bike with the eyes, that's a race prepped Ninja 300... with more suspension upgrades on it than the bike itself it worth. Bike Below that is my first...

I think I recall discussing this previously and using some motorcycle engine designs as examples. The great sound you are seeking is sitting in crossplane crank engine designs - and neither of these trucks are getting it. It's the the engine firing order that gives it that sewing machine...

It looks to me like an obvious attempt to stop rattling. I hate that also and took steps to stop it, just not in this type of dumb ass way. ? I just tapped a fiberglass shim into the small space in the top and snapped off the extra, no more rattle.

You got some crying emojis, and I know you're attached to your baby, but IMHO to me this would be preferable. A hit like that in my mind makes a vehicle never the same again if they try to fix it. I would prefer to have a non-crashed vehicle. Note to myself: Your experiences and this little...

Super cool work on those. love the look.

I much prefer "The economy is in the shitter and the lots are overloaded" pricing. I like my trucks $10K under MSRP, thank you. ? Yes, I enjoy my 2019 black friday special. I could still sell it for $5K more than I paid for it new if I sold it right now. And I still love it too much to do so.

This is a long thread and I did not read through the whole thing, but... if I were in your location, and not Wisconsin - That's two wheeled driving, a cheap and yet super fun form of transportation 365 days of the year with very little rain, and lane splitting is legal and even expected in your...
