    Electric Car thread

    So that looks like from what I read, about 10 hours from E to F, if mostly depleted? Overnight charge will be sufficient for a full battery I guess. That's not really a big deal, kind of like gas fairies filling the tank with petrol while you sleep, but it should be much cheaper. I read that...

    Sliding saddle post

    I got a hose clamp the correct length, so there was no tail hanging out, painted it black and cinched it down. Problem solved now and it came out of my junk box as usual. It also serves as a stop now for the correct saddle height.

    Have you seen a ghost

    Weird thing i think, real story. About 5 years ago my dad was in the hospital in ICU and wasn't expected to live too long, but I had just left the hospital and as soon as I got home I got a call that he had just passed on. After I hung up, (i was in my garage at the time) i saw my buffing...

    Are You Kidding Me Pricing?

    HD dealers have been fleecing their customers ever since HD's became a "thing" with the rubs, but now the riders are aging out of motorcycling and HD are sucking hind tit, so I guess it's on to the their e bike customers now, to rip off.

    What spoke wrench for these spokes?

    You could always measure the spoke bit (nipple?) that the wrench fits on. I was curious and just measured mine, 3.96 mm / .156. Found a Park wrench with those dimensions for about $7.00.

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    The fellow in the green "V" shaped thing is quite a sight, and what's with the gun nut trying to make sexy pose? Certainly good for a chuckle.😂

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    Not on a surfer, but there are plenty of speedos around Santa Monica beach. And a lot aren't on the women. Yikes.

    What is wrong with Spandex...

    I was body surfing once and had a seal pop up from under the water about 3 feet away from me. After I realized it wasn't "Jaws", I thought how much like a Labrador it looked like. We just looked at each other for a few moments, and he / she dipped back under the surf. That's a pretty good...

    Cell battery technology set to jump again-driven by another industry

    Anytime I can use an electric (battery powered) tool I do, over corded electric or gasoline powered. Although not economically feasible yet, I can see a day in the not so distance future that a large battery bank recharged by grid power and renewable's is coming. It's just progress, I imagine...

    So what's your other hobbies or interests?

    Makes me wonder, how many other amateur radio (ham) operators on this forum? I'm one, in 6 land.

    Do I need a full face motorcycle helmet?

    I use helmet "beanies" made for use under a helmets on both, my motorcycle and E bike helmets. Kind of like a sock for your head. That should be enough to replace the hair lost from a hair cut. You do seem hard to please though, so......

    Looking For A High-Visibility Bicycle Helmet Recommendation

    I bought this one, Specialized Align II with a MIPS rating, if that's important to you, around $50.00 USD. Has a micro adjuster inside and fits well. Lightweight and comfortable.

    How fast is too fast for you?

    This, bicycles are far too twitchy I've found for my comfort level. 20 MPH or so gives me a good feeling of control. I hit 40 on the speedo once and that seemed to limit out the display, it reverted back to zero until I reset it. Going downhill of course.

    World War III

    I must be the only person in California that thinks In and Out burgers suck. To me they are just greasy, salty. gut bombs. But to be fair, the last time I ate at a fast food joint was probably at least 30 years ago, if not longer. I went with a plant based diet about then, long before it was...

    Going to document my weight loss

    Healthy diets all have on thing in common, they are a good balance of complex carbs (vegetables, whole grains and legumes), lean proteins, and good fats, and shy away from processed foods, sugar, simple carbs and trans fats. Diet sodas are thought to be unhealthy as well, even though they...

    Going to document my weight loss

    I don't think diets work long term, they deprive you of something, although the "keto" diet is an effective short term way to lose weight quickly, a very low carb diet long term is not sustainable or healthy. Something like the "Mediterranean" diet is a good lifestyle eating plan that is very...
