I went and traded my 2017 Suzuki V-Strom 650 for a 2026 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 Tour. Had a lot of good times on the 'Strom, great all-round bike. But lately I found myself yearning for the power and all day ride ability of the ZX11 I had before. I wanted to get back to more of the 2-5-day trips...

It is looks more and more like Ford will bring out an ICE and/or hybrid Mustang 4dr in 2029 as a 2030 model, which is when the tea leaves say that Mustang might move to the CD6 platform (Explorer, Aviator) which can be built as FWD, AWD, RWD designs with conceivably sedan and coupe/fastback "top...

Merry Christmas and a special blessing to those who have lost loved ones this year, or facing a difficult time in their lives.

I may have posted this to this site before- couldn't find it in a search, But anyway, here it is again, or not. Merry Christmas to All 5g-ers'!!

One of my shortcomings, or attributes, depending on which side of my eyeballs you're on, is I am rarely brief nor concise. So grab your favorite beverage and set a spell: We like to name our cars, and that was the name we gave our 2025 Explorer ST Line that my wife and I ordered in December...

https://fordauthority.com/2025/01/stellantis-puts-ford-ranger-rival-back-on-the-menu/ Could be a tough sell, it's a crowded segment. Tacoma has had the momentum for years and Ranger has proven that when you discontinue the #1 selling midsize truck for 7 model years, it is a steep uphill climb...

I posted this last year here, I think, I thought i'd put it up again. If you don't understand some of the references, ask a Boomer:

I thought i could put off this decision for a few more years, but the time is nigh to put our 2009 Mercury Mariner out to pasture, or used car lot to be more accurate. The CD2 Platform (gens 1 & 2 Escape/Mariner) was orders of magnitude better CUVs than the Bronco II they replaced, and ours has...

I have a situation that I'm not too concerned about, but if it can be corrected for free or cheap that would be good. If not, oh well. I noticed the other day that my Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) were not operating. Usually I can see their glow when behind another vehicle, or pulling up to my...

We now have seasons. I was searching my local big box stores for some 4ft fluorescent tubes, and I saw Menards has Halloween stuff out. It's the middle of August fercrineoutloud. Oh, well. Now kids can pick out their Halloween costumes while the get their back-to-school stuff. Halloween has now...

I may have posted this before. It exists in several versions, going back to the postwar era. If you don't get some of the references, ask your dad or granddad...

Grab your favorite beverage and settle in Many of us here occasionally link to or read Ford Authority. If you are a frequent reader of that site, you've noticed that they often write about the latest patent that the whizkids have dreamed up. Some are useful, others are somewhat Orwellian in...

I've never been there but down deep in my bucket list is a motorcycle trip like this. Another member of the Stromtroopers forum (for Suzuki V-Strom owners worldwide) I'm on posted this video. Indescribable trip! edit: Here's another link if the first one doesn't work:

I like watching sports on TV, and when there is a break in the action regardless of the sport, I usually have an alternate channel cued up on "Last Channel" and surf over during the commercials. I don't drink beer, need an insurance quote, have dozens of maladies that need medication with dozens...

The 2022 Ranger Order Guide (US) is out, Canada to follow soon. Looks like minor tweaks mostly, New Splash Package, they actually added content to the big 501a Lariat trim, Race Red is gone and Hot Pepper Red is back. Pricing has not come out yet, AFIK.This is the time when dealers start...

We're probably about 12-15 months away from Job1 now that there are full 6G mules. Job 1 for the 2022's (5G) is Dec 13th

Early on in my driving days, I got stuck in Park while parked on a hill and had to get help to rock the car while attempting to get it out of Park, with a loud bang! And after seeing the fragile-looking Park pawl and detent in most automatic transmissions, I got in the habit of applying the...

Ordered a 2021 Supercab XL 4X4 today! This will be the keeper that gets towed to the salvage yard after my 1 year-old grandson graduates from med school: Carbonized Grey 101A high pkg STX package STX SE Package Trailer Towing FX4 Copilot 360 Securicode Keypad Spray in Bedliner, Splashguards...

I would prefer to order a Ranger XL 101A with the STX package or an XLT 301A. I don't really want to jump up to the 302A or a Lariat just to get heated seats; I can live with out all the tech. I've seen under-fabric heater kits on Amazon, and I have some plug-in heated seat cushions in my...
