    What did you do in your garage today..?

    We do alot of hillclimbs. With the rekluse, the rear wheel will freewheel, and not lock up like a standard clutch. There's been a few times where the bike is sliding backwards down a hill, or I have to turn across the hill if I lose too much momentum. Its great in tight single track. I can run...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    Changed the Rekluse clutch to a factory clutch in my te300. Previous owner put the auto clutch in it. I've never been a fan.. $600 in parts... back to a manual clutch. Crazy how much these Rekluse clutches cost. $1600... I get the appeal, if you have hand issues, or a disability. Sent from...

    Don't worry. If they think you've got a pretty mouth, I'll protect you. Worst case, you and I can run faster than Dave. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    I'm sure you'll be fine. You aren't thinking of bailing on the Gap trip, are ya? I think the Hill-Folk are going to be happy we're spending money in Hicksville nowhere. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Maybe I see things differently. I don't care if you took a picture of your bike infront of some rich guys house, or a nice building. I want detailed pictures of damage, scratches, mileage, wear items (tires, chain, sprockets, pads). If I'm interested in your bike, I've been researching that...

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

    Got out on Sunday. Rode up some snow piles at the mall. Went to check out a seasonal shutdown on a local road. No way I was getting up that mess... Felt good to get out, even if it was only 30km. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Keep it where it is for now. You can always drop it a bit if you have no interest. Start high. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Add is getting there... but. Look at gpbikes used selection. 2019. 5,000km. Priced in the same ballpark (within $500). But someone can finance this, and its coming from a dealer. Try and get what you can, but you may be a bit high. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Every year its worth less $... If you wanted it gone, price it slightly under market value. Is an extra $1000 really worth it? Is it worth the headache? I'm getting a headache hearing about it. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    2017. Te300 For the Kickstart? I know they have a short bolt that has a tendency to break. When I get in there to inspect the clutch, I'll likely drill and tap it for a longer bolt. I almost never use the Kickstart. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    It was absolutely a WTF moment. I was prepared. I had earplugs in. My friend did not! I should have had the camera going. The two map gas torches going on that dent had it cherry red... I wonder what the pressure spiked to at the moment of ignition! Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

    Shock disassembled, cleaned, bled with the vacuum pump, and shot full of 145lbs of nitrogen. Cool home made machine my friend built. Pipe heated and dents pulled out. That was...err... interesting. 2 expansion plugs, safety wired, one with a schraeder valve. Bicycle pumped up to 120lbs. Bled...

    What did you do in your garage today..?

    I kept a heat gun on low to toast up my fingers. Tools are still ice cold, even with a heater going. I've used a radiant oil heater when it was nearly unbearable, but if its that bad, bike maintenance can wait! I just took lots of breaks. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk
