A four year old thread, but a timeless topic to be sure. I've been using padded under shorts for years with great results. I use these from Baleaf...

It does sound like a good idea on paper, but a kid can still ride like an idiot at 10mph.

I would dearly love to ditch the car and use a bike, but it isn't going to dictate where I choose to live.

I agree. The makers of these high power bikes claim they are to be used on private property or in places where they are permitted. Tough to legislate against that. In the unlikely event legislation were passed against manufacture and import of these bikes, there will always be a black market...

I'll bet this guy was glad he had a driver facing camera. Made it easier to explain to his boss that the truck was hit by a plane. https://www.nbcnewyork.com/new-jersey/video-united-plane-hits-truck-nj-turnpike-light-pole/6497837/

I would like to know just how much the price at the pump is affected by greed and profit taking, since the pump price does not track with that of a barrel of crude or oil futures for that matter..

Containment can be an advantage if used with a way to move the container away from combustibles. Right now, I'm using ammo cans on a cart that can be pulled or pushed out a door. They are bulky though, and I like the idea of a lightweight bag as a replacement.

I'm no expert either, but this is my take on the issue: Iran is an oil producing country. Yes, they benefit by forcing up the price on a short term basis. This could hurt them in the long term however if oil prices remain high for an extended period of time. This simply forces the rest of the...

They are vandals who don't care about laws, let alone a sign. :mad:

The mortuary owners. 😁

I've used various smartphones mounted on my bars over the years, going back to the old iPhone 5. Vibration killed one and none were bright enough to read effectively in bright sun. I eventually switched to dedicated bike GPS units, which are easier to both see and control. I prefer to keep the...

Looks interesting. Certainly better than nothing. Too bad they don't make a size for rear rack batteries.

It's possible the cell voltage has dropped below what the charger needs to "recognize" the battery. Using a charger with a force start option is one possibility. Another is to wire a charged battery of the same voltage in parallel with the dead one. This can raise the cell voltage to the point...

Programming a bar gauge to represent remaining useable wattage instead of current voltage seems reasonably simple to do, yet few if any manufacturers of low & mid level bikes do it. I find the bar gauges on my mid priced bikes to be all but useless. By the time the first of the 5 bars...

Already mentioned in post #168. Sad to see he died though.
