There needs to be a big bold pictogram on the bottles. I technically know this is how the bottles are supposed to work but I use them upside down every single time

Who puts a shorty on a Bandit? A water cooled one at least

My renewals are coming in, but insuring a new-to-me car last year generated so much paperwork I'm scratching my head trying to figure out if the rates went up or down

I am a DN-01 defender... but. The problem with seeing it person is that you realize it is about half as tall as you think it is

Leave the poor DN-01 alone!

The GB70 specifically can power 12V devices, but I don't know if you can do it through the clamps - the manual wants you to use the 12V out port (cigarette lighter adapter, basically)

Got lucky once again! Flushed out a bunch of black stuff from the caliper and it seems to be working now. I thought it had been flushed recently, but maybe that flush stirred up some ancient debris that settled into a blockage over last winter. Will hold my breath for a week or two, but I...

Put the battery back into my 919 at the beginning of this week, put the battery back into the TL1000S today. Discovered a fuel tank bolt under the seat had rattled off (well, I discovered that when I parked it for the winter, then forgot to do anything about it). Also the rear brake pedal is...

We had a Samsung 3D TV that died twice. Once while under warranty, where they sent a guy to our house to replace something substantial, and then the second time something on the motherboard gave up, parts were unobtainable. Now we have an LG 4K TV, some hrmm-years old, and while it's mostly okay...

Good, but I wouldn't crop it that much for FB/Kijiji. You can't trust that they aren't going to automatically crop it further in previews/thumbnails

I think about the only mistake that I'm done making is "inappropriate" speeding, I haven't gotten a ticket in at least 15 years. The mistake I make most often is troubleshooting a bike that won't start, eliminate the battery early on, bang my head on the problem for a week or two, then replace...

I noticed that one before. At least it seems nice... why are the throttle cables sticking so far out front though. Otherwise, it has to be someone that doesn't actually want to sell it

MacDoc, that is 100% for sure a CBR600F3 I once met a guy in the Forks riding a Bandit 1200 with quite a bit of kilometres on it. 300,000?

2016 is going back pretty far. I wonder why it's all 150/70R18... Miscalculation on that size causing Pirelli to make it slightly out of spec?

Keep an eye out for a Suzuki SX4, if you're lucky you can find one that is both AWD & manual. I came across a couple in my car search last year
