If you have the $$, this one from Park is the best I've tried: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBST3R81?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_7 I bolted it to the leg of my workbench instead of using the optional base. Operates with a hand crank or cordless drill and takes up very little...

I thought he was talking about a Z-bra :rolleyes:

There are electronic shift systems out there that connect directly to the bike battery and require no separate battery to recharge. I'm using the Archer D1X system on three of my bikes, which uses an actuator and short cable to connect to almost any derailleur. It connects directly to the bike...

I think NYC has the right idea: https://www.facebook.com/reel/956641393842492

Might be interesting to try, but hard to find a tube for it on the road at a LBS.

AFAIK, Honda only sells through dealers. There are eBay vendors who sell new ones. Not sure how the warranty works though.

I can't buy a Honda generator on line here in the US either. eBay is an option, plenty listed in the US. Maybe you could find a seller who will ship to Canada...

I still I still have my old Honda EX750 from the early 1980's. Still starts on the first pull and quiet enough where you can have a normal conversation with it running next to you. I actually prefer using it rather than my Honda EU2000i for short remote electrical needs.

Reminds me of the fluoroscopes used at Florsheim shoe stores that let you look at the bones in your feet. I wonder how many cancers they caused. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe-fitting_fluoroscope

Sorry for the confusion. Yes, it's synthetic gasoline and not meant for use in diesel engines. I don't use it in my diesel generator, just the small gas portable, as well as my other small gas engines.

Ah, that explains why this old joke was so popular back in grade school: Q: What did the constipated mathematician do? A: He worked it out with a pencil.

Hey, that's an idea for a couple of old disk brake rotors or chainrings. Make a giant YoYo out of them!

Yeah, it's $24/gal US. Soon, it might be cheaper to run my pickup on it the way gas prices are going. :rolleyes: I only use it for small jobs or short power outages. To me, it's worth the price to not have to drain fuel lines & tanks for little jobs.

I think he wants to know what you're going to do with that bag of poop. :)

You can also use them to supplement your summer wardrobe. 😁

I keep a couple of gallons of synthetic fuel around for use in small engines. It's expensive but has the shelf life of fruitcake. It won't foul fuel systems and can be left in the engine without draining. I start the generator and run it on the synthetic fuel for short power outages. When an...

These are mostly kids we're dealing with here. In most cases, they don't know or care about laws, signs, safety & common decency. As stated here many times, enforcement, confiscation and parental accountability are the real keys to solving the problem.

I actually do get some advantage from the waste heat generated by my Kubota GL11000. It's installed inside the garage with a thru wall exhaust. It's liquid cooled and the heat from the radiator keeps the garage warm during winter power outages. No advantage during warm weather though since I...

IMO, the better safety rating of a LiFePO battery isn't worth the added weight. If it were me, I'd buy two quality UL certified batteries and carry both to get the extra range. Put one on the down tube and the other on the rear rack or pannier. This will help keep the center of gravity lower and...

The problem I see is, they are being treated by the public as e-bikes, which they are NOT!
