    bought a gas generator for myLiFePO power station

    If I pull it out and try to start it I'll post the date purchased and if I had any issues. I have a small house (900sq. ft.) and a small fridge, so this little Honda will run what we need. I also hate storing fuel. But I still hate the hassle and would love to swap to a natural gas hardwired...

    bought a gas generator for myLiFePO power station

    I bought one of those Honda generators a few years ago, put it in a Tupperware tub and have NEVER used it. Have no idea how it works. I think the wife and I are going to do a Generac natural gas back up. A co-worker said to run the Honda because the poles could sag or something if left unused...

    Adrian Raeside cartoon: Bike lanes everywhere!

    We just got a bike lane installed in Norfolk, VA on Granby St. It has these huge curbs to keep the cars from going into the lane! The locals freaked out who live on this dangerous street but they're are old and don't ride bicycles anymore, so their opinions don't count. The few times we've used...

    Anybody else oil a chainsaw manually?

    I dread seeing a MS250 saw come thru the department. I have to run it on the liquid cooled dyno because the 250 loves to pick up a vibration/oscillation. I clamp them down thru the handles and use a wood clamp to quell vibrations on the bottom of the loop handle. The 250 will also give you a...

    Amazon kids are funny!

    So I still have my RadRunner 2 sitting in the garage. A co-worker called me and asked if I had any ebikes for sale because he knows I'm into them. I tell him yes, I have a RadRunner 2 for sale, and I'd like $400 but would take $200. He said a guy on the production floor was looking for a ebike...

    Anybody else oil a chainsaw manually?

    I have a STIHL 160 electric chainsaw and the auto-bar oiler works great. When not in use I store it in a Greco baby bag. It might ooze a bit of bar oil after using it but nothing crazy or unusual. The auto oiler pumps can be removed for servicing if needed. They do sometimes fail. I've never...

    Smile![your on "Candid camera]

    I use my phone to post pictures online. If you're having trouble doing that reduce the photo size down to 40% before posting. It won't hurt photo quality either. If you have a Chromebook like I do you also have to reduce the photo size down before posting. My Chromebook has been in Guest Mode...

    no wheels

    The BUZZ trike is still going strong but the gears are rigged right now. Owner bent the derailleur hanger and it's not replaceable. I though you could no longer ride 2 wheels? I gave away the RadRunner 2 a few weeks ago but the new owner needs to get it there. He's trying Pirate Ship like...

    Physical media, do NOT buy from Merchbar.

    So I found a HONEST place to order physical media from! Amoeba Records in CA. I keep forgetting they have a mail order service. The site is kinda weird but you'll learn how to navigate it after messing around for awhile. So I ordered all the Steely Dan CD's I could from them and also ordered...

    Annoying phone calls!

    Strange, the calls died down for about a month. It was so quiet and peaceful! But I guess I can't block all of them. Now it's various "scams" like my time share property fees or my 401k trying to "help" me invest and other things that I know are scams. These people never stop! They just evolve...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    I'll post pics of the bike later but I got my Fairdale Taj. As weird as it sounds I actually ENJOY hopping on it and going for a ride! The sealed hubs let it easily coast, the gearing is pretty good and it's silly light and nimble. Im waiting on brake shoes as I tossed the included shoes in the...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    I was in the LBS that I try to avoid a few weeks ago and everyone was helpful, polite and useful! I was shocked! Only thing I can think is they must have a new manager. Moral seemed high as well in the service bay. Now I wish they carried Specialized again. Both of my local TREK stores are...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    Update: I got a health scare and decided to get another bmx bike (27.5) to start riding again. I can still do bunny hops, endos, small jumps, some basic flatland tricks (even on a bigger bike), ride bowls and ramps, plus it will force me to get exercise. I'm keeping the Xpedition for now, or...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    But it took over a bicycle shop over 100 miles away, with vague customer interaction, to do it. Im trying to stay local on this purchase. I'll still might dream of owning a Globe Haul though.....

    New Juiced Bike Owners

    Juiced is getting ready to launch product and being backed by Lectric it should be pretty interesting. Also, both Lectric and Aventon have released new product and I haven't heard anything "Off the record." about business practices from my local dealers so I wouldn't hesitate on buying from...

    Weird Specialized discovery....

    Narrowed my choices down. I still need to test ride a Aventon Abound LR but that shouldn't be a problem as I have 2 Aventon dealers close by. If for whatever reason the Abound LR doesn't work out I'm going back and getting the Radwagon 5 mentioned above. Rad seems to be back-up and operating...

    Bike Modification

    To the OP, just buy your own emoped! I LOVE the Segway Xyber but can't justify buying one for my limited needs. Or save some money and get a Ride1Up Revv. There are a TON of Amazon emopeds on the cheap as well. Modding can be more of a hassle than just buying something already done. I had a XP...

    Lectric bike cover

    Ollie's, the Good Stuff Cheap, used to sell a motorcycle cover that worked great. It fit my large motor scooter (Honda Silverwing) but I never tried it on my Xpedition. If you have a Ollie's around check it our.

    Rad Power Bikes may close soon

    Rad Power "seems" to be back up and running BUT Im not going to go first! If anyone does let us know how it went.

    My Radwagon 5 arrived

    I have a Food Lion grocery store a mile from me, a Walmart Neighborhood Market about 2 miles and a Harris Teeter about 4ish miles, so I have food covered. But I do mini runs almost everyday. I'll grab milk one day, cat food the next day, anything so I can go for a ebike ride. I call them...
