    My life was threatened....

    1. Martial arts are great, whether for health/exercise, bushido or for self defence/killing people. 2. The only hope I have our democracy survives is the same powers that kept him in check last time: armed forces and the abc boys, will do so again. Thank you for your service- 3. Please give me...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    There are a couple different sets I'm looking at, but they will be powered by a battery separate from bike battery. Would like to get something similar to this: Would also like to install a double brake lever:

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    As the weather turns, I lucked out and found a nice vitamaster 40c for $15 on craig's list. Needs a new seat and again, to make it a proper cruiser bike, will need new stem and handle bars. I think I am going to start looking for these antique stationary bikes to restore and possibly resell. I'm...

    I've seen them, but I'm planning on buying a bike helmet off ali express with a full face visor.

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    All I have left to do to this ebike: Switch out stem and handle bars to proper cruiser length with 30" Walds touring handle bars, Upgrade light, the one I want cost as much as the entire ebike, Install turn signals Install new handle bars, right will be full throttle instead of half and they...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    I'm nearing 50. Rode motorcycles and scooters since I was 16. I don't ride motorcycles anymore, too dangerous these days(between distracted drivers and White tail deer, I have decided not to ride motorcycles anymore), but like you, once you get used to having the situational awareness of a...

    Agreed. I didn't relly need the right mirror.

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    I'm rural, but live near a cluster of small towns. I decided not to mod out my bike other than new handle bars and a new light down the road. Even when I did gas builds, I still used these type of mirrors with no issues. This cruiser of mine has a limiter at 20 mph or 22 in cruise, but on...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    Yeah about 40 miles from where I live Some lady in a jeep, ran over 2 bicycling Amish, at 5 pm, in the middle of summer, no traffic, not a cloud in the sky. I've had a few ragers, but they never get too close. Just waiting to get coal roled, I know it's coming, Murica... But yeah I'm going to...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    Can I ask if you were cruising/commuting or off road? No judgements, I'm just curious. For Me, they are heaven sent, no more looking over my shoulder. It gives me the freedom to ride the full car lane when open and allows me to communicate with motorists and merge better into/through traffic...

    Tis better to have mirrors than not.

    New mirrors from walmart.com. This is not the configuration they will stay in once I upgrade to longer handlebars, but for now, they will do.

    Captain America, Tea Leoni from Spanglish, 2nd mod, and goodies...

    Well, No picks of newest mod, because you really can't see it, but man you can feel it! No new stem or handle bars till spring, so used the old wooden dowel trick to extend the handle bars about 3.5 inches out on both sides. Like I said, can't really see the difference, but oh is it so much...

    Rail trails, Back roads and a Tank

    Michigan has such beautiful sights. Sooner or later I will return to Silver lake state Park to take photos of the Dunes. Used to climb and run down the big Dune At north beach park in Spring Lake. About a decade or so ago, they banned climbing or walking the dune and planted beach grass on...

    Rail trails, Back roads and a Tank

    High winds here today and didn't feel like getting sand blasted so skipped the beach and decided to take a leisurely cruise through the back roads and rail trail by my home. Back roads with very little traffic: A section of the Hart-Montague Rail Trail: The rail trail connects to a new...

    So an interesting development .. Already getting a new bike

    Wish I had bought an ebike right after recovering from last spine surgery. Always wanted one, but having done gas motor bicycle kits in the past, knew it would be cheaper to just buy the ebike I got instead of buying a bike and a kit. Hardest transition for me has been getting used to the step...

    DJI Neo Drone

    Sorry all, my inner Carl got triggered. I don't like drones, but I know I am in the minority on that. I do seriously hope you all have fun with drones. This world can be hard and cruel and I don't want someone else to lose something that brings them joy. I'm sure most people are responsible...

    Putting her to the test

    Thanks. It is beautiful here and I was blown away by how nice my local rail trail is. It's well shaded with native trees a lot of the way and this one is paved with asphalt. I didn't expect it to be so be beautiful.

    Putting her to the test

    I'm learning gromlike. I put another 30 miles on the civi today. Thought I would check out a local rail trail. I've been missing out! Next time I'll take a few photos, I'm still sore and hurting a bit, but I've cycled more in the past few days than I have in 2 decades. Operation "get your...

    DJI Neo Drone

    I don't know what the laws in Pennsylvania are, but I know what they are in my area of Michigan. Also, I don't grow ganja, but it's legal for anyone over the age of 21 to grow 12 plants a piece here in the high five state. Every other one of my neighbors has a grow going. Chances are my...

    DJI Neo Drone

    Guys I'm as liberal as it gets, until you fly a drone over my property putting my life and that of my family in danger. I'm too old to argue with those with no regard for my safety. I am not joking at all. Don't care if its Amazon, a hobbyist or a realtor, my property is a no drone zone, no...
