    NEW Juiced Scrambler is out

    The new Scrambler is regulated to 20mph on throttle, and I doubt that you can easily make it go faster, so that means most kids will not be lusting for one. They want fast no-name Amazon emopeds! This Scrambler is a good start at revitalizing Juiced, and as mentioned before being backed by the...

    Fish tanks, who messes with them?

    Fresh water at the moment. Our tank got taken over with black molly fish and I'm getting kinda tired of them, so when one dies we don't replace anything. I would love to try salt because I think I can pull it off. I'm not going over 55 gallons, and I was told "Dilution is the solution for...

    Fish tanks, who messes with them?

    Lately I've been putting the water swap water on the front lawn! We just got thru a drought and my yard barely survived! That's the only plus I can find for the fish tank right now!

    Do you file depth gauges on safety chain?

    It hurts my eyes to see a 4-stroke Lawn Boy. I grew up with a 2-stroke model and have always had a fondness for them. That being said i have a battery mower now!

    Do you file depth gauges on safety chain?

    Im filled with shame typing this. I've worked with chainsaws for 28 years and have never sharpened a chain! I've even been to our in house servicing schools, and I guess i avoided the chain section of the classes. I am in the process of buying a mower blade sharpening kit though.

    What's the name ??

    My wife gets crazy workouts if there are rough trails, headwinds or hills. Otherwise it rides nice for local rides. Electra Townie Ed Roth addition.

    remagnetize a generator?

    I always found it weird that one old Vespa, when pulled out of a barn or shed, had a weak coil and another that sat just as long of the same vintage was fine. It made no sense. We've messed with Honda Monkey bikes that sat since the late 70's and they'd fire right up with two or three kicks! I...

    Anyone have FordPass?

    Oh, and I took a crash course via YouTube and turned off many evasive "permissions" in the Maverick operating system! It was weird because she started ghosting the dealership calls (now the OWNER of the dealership is calling) and after turning off most of these permissions her phone started...

    Anyone have FordPass?

    Yes it is! The Baja had 248,000 miles on it. Clear coat shot, roof pure primer, broken sunroof, all external plastics cracked-I mean ALL, bullet holes in hood, seats very ratty, most windows sticky and slow, headlights always on BUT a.c. works perfect, all services done, newer tires, tracks...

    What's the name ??

    I had a Rans Fusion that I used as a road bike. That thing was great but you pulled on the bars instead of standing, that was a learning curve. There is also the good 'ol Townie by Electra. Don't knock one till you try it! They make many versions for different uses. These styles are called...

    Anyone have FordPass?

    Google maps can be cute sometimes! I have a old Garmin that I'll update (downloads over the internet with a cable!) that is shockingly accurate. I also love paper maps but can only find decent ones at truck stops and "local" ones (more detailed) at better gas stations. I rarely travel much...

    Anyone have FordPass?

    I loved my 2001 Ranger. Standard cap with short bed, the Danger Ranger Edge version. Compared to a Fit everything feels big! And I drove 18wheelers for a few years. I tried signing up for the Maverick forum but I never heard back. I saw the Forscan being mentioned. My wife is going to reach out...

    32" Wheels? Interesting...

    When I was a teenager many moons ago one of the local bicycle shops, A-1 Bikes at the last Virginia Beach Pembroke location, had a red beach cruiser with tall wheels in the window. I'm in my 50's now but I asked a friend if he remembers it and he swears it had 38 inch wheels! It made a 26"...

    Anyone have FordPass?

    My wife treated herself to a new truck. As close to her beloved Subaru Baja we could find is a Ford Maverick. She has a 2025 forest green eco-boost XLT. She'll maybe put 3000 miles max a year on it, average 1000 miles. She's retired and hates driving. I don't really drive the Maverick, its huge...
