    Neighbor's Dogs Barking all Day!! Grrrrrrrrr!!

    If that was me I'd turn the volume up and play Polka Music all day long with a out door speaker until the dogs quit barking.

    EV vehicles

    Turning 64 in June and I agree ! I've never bought a new car and even back in the old days I thought 10K was too much, but my time has come and gone and I don't need to learn a new trick lol.

    There's four of us in my family so I would need 4 chargers, plus not knowing when chit hit's the fan they would need to be charged 100% cause you can't charge them up faster than filling up a tank of gas. Come Summer time I would have one heck of an electric bill. I like to know when EV's...

    LOL ! Just like the guy that runs out of gas walking down the road with a gas can. Soon will see a guy walking down the road with a very, very long extension cord.

    Israel has been involved in conflicts for over 70 years, I don't see it changing anytime soon.

    VW Bug with Nazi emblem on inside panel of doors

    When I spent 4 years in West Germany I was trying to find the Swastika with the wreath around it. Was told it was illegal to have one but lived next to German widow's from WWII as neighbors and they showed me a lot of stuff. Wish they had garage sales.

    Cars, replacing pads and rotors.

    I also buy a lot of parts from RockAuto and can find OEM items too but sometimes it's RockChina. I paid around 50 bucks each for the disks but if I mail one to China i bet the cost would be 3 times higher lol.

    Replaced the pads and disks on my Escape at 124K last month and brakes feel so smooth again. Got them from NAPA and they were made in China of course lol.

    Don't know if this will hit the motorcycle shops but this is not a shock I'm sorry to say.

    Also throw in all the parts we buy that are not emission legal, even just playing around with the ECU. It will get to the point when you need to replace a part you'll need to use a new oem. Sooner or later EPA will be looking over your shoulder whether your in your garage or shop. EPA is already...

    Pushing in corner.....

    20 years ago I was riding my Sportster and it has forward controls and while taking a tight left turn I pushed the front tire and put my left foot down to catch the bike. It all happen in split second until the front gain traction again, I got real lucky that day. Also back in 70's I locked up...

    Watched the YouTube vid on the Tesla tractor and I think a better test would be a Diesel and Tesla tractor both pulling a tanker full of gasoline coast to coast then total the time and cost lol. I can't wait to see a Tesla Container ship.

    Pushing in corner.....

    I'm no Max Wrist lol, but with our drag strip still closed my rear tire is lasting longer. Normally it was every other rear tire before a new front tire. Bike starts feeling like your driving a dump truck by then and in the words of Darrell Waltrip new Feel Goods are the ticket, Luckly we only...

    I'd check the alignment with the bike up right, front wheel straight, using a string going around the outside of both wheels.
