This is the closest thing I found to an exhibitor's list A few pages into their show program

A good way to spend a gloomy Saturday seeing some shiny two wheel eye candy Also browse for some gear deals (gloves, pants & boots)

I say crush it Not that it will stop this individual from doing the same again...

Sold! (y)

It's my understanding that you'd want to use a winch in those circumstances to break the suction first Doing any kind of hard pull would result in something breaking 🫣

If watching Matt's Offroad Recovery has taught me anything, is that a kinetic rope and soft shackle will get almost any vehicle unstuck with the right know how, without necessarily relying on the kinetic energy either. Sometimes a straight pull will suffice. Wrapping around a stout lower...

Yep it's got quite the whirring sound. Most likely some run of the mill 10/15A electric motor like you mentioned that they purposely enclosed so it wasn't serviceable. A healthy spray of WD40 on the chute and auger before each use and it throws snow pretty good! Anything wet though I'd better...

I've been getting away with a Snowjoe corded snowthrower for close to a decade, it's on it's last legs but still working. Had to cut the plastic open last week to access the electric motor brushes/rotor as it wasn't firing. Gave it a good scuff with some emery cloth and duct taped the plastic...

Wouldn't mind checking out this show again Interested in seeing and sitting on some new bikes and also browsing some gear In the market for a new lid as well

Probably about a decade ago or so on a group ride posted here 3 of us met up in Peterborough to go for a ride and swim up in Barry's Bay None of us had met before During a fuel stop on the way up, one of the bikes (an older smaller Yamaha/Suzuki savage type cruiser) started having trouble...

That's a cool bike in a sweet colour too! How's parts availability for something like that?

That's some mighty fine 3D CAD work (y)

I agree on having a dual voltage 120V/240V if you can swing it, but OP is new to welding and is unlikely to need much more than a basic 120V mig for common garage/hobby projects Adding 240V to the garage is an additional expense If you're welding thicker stuff, bevel the ends and run a root...

Personally found HF lift TIG a PITA Could not get the arc started consistently and was contaminating the electrode often Ended up selling it I would recommend a decent lincoln/hobart/miller 120V MIG with a co2/argon bottle instead Capable of thin gauge steel and up to 3/16" thick the odd...

Biked just over 30kms after work. Not much wind so was quite pleasant once warmed up About 75kms on the new freehub so far and it seems to be holding up🤞
