Thanks for this!

That’s a per driver price - there are 8 driver options, ranging from $17-23

I bought the Hozan 4 pack about 10 years ago and they’ve held up ok. I use the Vessel ball grip driver the most now, though. The Vessel Megadora ones always looked the nicest but are a bit spendy.

Not the most frequently used tools, but ones that I like having when I need them are Koken’s “wobble fix” extensions and their spark plug sockets that have brass spring clips. The extensions can convert between being fixed or allowing +/-15 degrees of rotation. With this rotation, I could...

Before I had a garage, I had to remove a stubborn filter and had the same pair of pliers. It looks like they’re just slipping on the filter. I ended up getting the pliers to really dig in and crush the filter somewhat. Once the slippage is gone, they should give enough leverage to get it...

Apparently they’re coming back. No date is given, though.

I would feel bad about missing the meetup that’s closest to me, but we’re on standby for baby arrival. If I’m not there, it would be because things are happening on that front

I’ve liked the Road 5 and now 6. I bought mainly on durability and all weather performance and was not let down. Before the Road 5s, the bike had some marginal Bridgestones that didn’t inspire confidence in the wet (don’t remember the model).

Congratulations!

I became a Hawk owner that weekend so I have my eye on next year already (thanks for the welcome on the Hawk forum, btw). On a related note, it looks like SOWD was a thing at one point but hasn’t happened in a while. I don’t know if there’s been any discussion about doing that again, but I’d be...

Be careful using Loctite around plastic, as certain types of plastics can react and become brittle and crack. The ideal solution would be a fastener with a nylon patch. If the screw is M2 or M2.5, you could look for replacement screws for laptops, as these are often available with patches.

I bought a 40ish year old, low mileage CB550 as my first bike. It can be done, but if your main goal is riding, I think the idea of looking for a newer 300 would be way better. You can learn to ride on it, maybe drop it, get your M, and sell it for similar to what you paid for it. There are...

In my group of 5 (back in 2019), at least 4 of us ran off there. On one occasion, 2 people in the group went down on the same lap and ended up within 5 feet of each other.
