    Aliexpress

    I bought adjustable and folding clutch and brake levers from Ali. They seem really well made to me, and way, way cheaper than the Rizoma/Pazzo/Evotech options which I cannot imagine are much better machined if at all. They work fine. The Aliexpress bike stuff seems to have a lot of...

    Here's one reason why people hate motorcyclists

    Classic game. In the fifth grade my friends and I were addicted to it. EDIT: "Coup-ferre"! Spelled it wrong. Evidently it's "Coup-Fourre".

    What about a tiny vacuum hose after draining - maybe something like this ?

    There's also ones that have a tiny LED light at the grabber end. If they made one with a tiny camera at the end, I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

    Siphon as much gas as you can, then use an inspection camera to see if you can figure out where it's lying? Then MAYBE you have a shot at grabbing it with one of those things that @mimico_polak describes. I have an inspection camera at the cottage I could bring down and you could borrow, and...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    I have the absolute worst sense of direction, so even on familiar trails I carry my trusty Garmin GPSMAP 64sx, a spare set of batteries, and mark my starting point. Worst case, I can always backtrack.

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    @85K100 We're about 5 mins south of Washago - pretty much halfway between Orillia and Gravenhurst. We have a softener, but I have read that can exacerbate some of the problems : "Water softeners can be a source of the rotten egg odor when sulfur and iron bacteria start growing in them. So, you...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Moved the bike into my garage (aka storage container), filled it up with gas and stabilizer, and crossed my fingers that maybe that was all premature. Before doing that, practiced picking the bike up as I hadn't been able to do so myself in the past. Was able to do so now without too much...

    Wanted to go riding on Sunday but my wife and youngest stayed and town and my oldest came with me to the cottage. I usually don't ride if my wife isn't at the cottage with the kids, even though the kids are in their late teens and can take care of themselves. All Sunday all I could think was...

    I see reports that York region has already started brining. Is it safe to assume Simcoe and Muskoka counties will also have started salting/brining?

    Is that one readable in daylight? I bought something similar and it is unreadable in daylight, even if you shield it with cupped hands.

    Does grinding metal present a threat to starting a fire inside your dust collector/shop vac if you have wood or other dust there? I have a fairly decent sized cyclone dust collector and was told accidentally sucking up a screw could ignite the contents of the bin via sparks...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I had 6 or 8 of these at my cottage garage. I never used the remotes but did love the motion detection. They were pretty sensitive though and my wife was always upset that one of them often seemed to be on when it shouldn't. I assume they were getting tripped reasonably often by chipmunks or...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    That’s a drive I made many times when I was a teenager as we owned a property out there and I worked a couple of summers there.. Port Perry was a funny little town then. Night life consisted of one bar called Crandell’s and another bar whose name escapes me. The first time I got kicked out of...

    Who's still riding? (Fall & Winter 2024 Edition)

    Thanks - currently using it. I was just interested in comparing its reporting of maximum lean angle and top speeds to something else. I compared reported top speed to my GPS and MyRide was significantly lower; OTOH lean angles MyRide report seem extreme for the way I ride on public roads...

    Thanks. That's a shame. I'd used the app a while ago and recall I liked it; went to search for it earlier this season and couldn't find anything in the store or on their web page.
