    Amazon Stops Selling Illegal eMotos in CA

    Once or twice, a ranger commented on it but I was never asked to leave. There are some trails I ride where enforcement is strict with a fine involved. I don't take a chance at those locations.

    While I do prefer a twist throttle, I had to switch to a thumb model. I need to be able to remove it quickly and easily when I ride on class 1 only trails. I replaced the hex head mounting screw with a thumb screw so it can be removed & replaced in seconds. Yes, I could do the same with...

    Can't tell what you ate, but I detect a definite trace of vado smoke. 😁

    The index was 415 here yesterday but a bit better this morning. It's supposed to exceed 500 tonight & tomorrow morning. Should improve over the weekend though. The NWS just issued a code purple (highest) alert for our area: Air Quality Alert PAZ038>040-043-044-047-048-072-171615-...

    I just finished mowing a 7 acre pasture and noticed the cabin air flow was almost non existent. I checked the cab air filter and It was totally clogged with brownish gray dust! I had replaced it less than a month ago. The visibility here now is less than a quarter mile due to the yellow haze...

    So many unanswered questions, like why are panties plural while brassiere is singular? While you're at it, why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? When I worked for the old Bell System back in the 1970's, there was actually a lawsuit filed to change "manhole" to "person hole" It...

    Here in the northeast, between the heat, humidity and now the wildfire smoke, I haven't put many miles on the bike this season. I see a few out there wearing masks for the smoke, but I'm not sure how effective they are. Got to be cautious at my age. How are others here doing?

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    I would probably use the frame bag idea, but there is no place to put one on my step thru frame.

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    I like the look of this 2.8mm "micro" spiral wrap. IMO, It makes for a smoother look. Takes a lot of it to cover a long cable run though. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X88Y6MH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

    Lock Recommendations?

    A throttle can also get you out of a jam if you have a medical emergency. On one occasion, it got me and the bike back safely when I injured my knee and couldn't pedal.

    Lock Recommendations?

    I thought I'd seen every kind of bike anti theft device out there, until I was at Walmart last week. A bike was parked near the entry door and appeared to be unlocked. When I took a closer look, I saw a big pile of dog crap on the saddle! At first, I thought someone had vandalized the bike, but...

    They're starting to use something similar on jet skis now to replace the old wrist strap & lanyard. Too many runaways from operators not using them.

    That would help, but it wouldn't prevent the bike from taking off unexpectedly at a stop while I'm still seated. Such a switch would also be difficult to rig on my saddles, which I change frequently. I'm thinking of something more sophisticated, like a proximity switch.

    I've had the bike take off on it's own twice so far. Both times it was because of an open in the throttle ground circuit. Luckily, I was able to grab the brake before it got loose. I now keep my hand on the brake until I turn off the power button as a precaution. I'm trying to think of a "dead...

    The first thing I do when I can't find my hat or glasses is to check my head. 😁
