    Absolute - even on cruisers, we tested the flashing headlight while perched on the bridge to see in rush hour traffic when he was seen. Easily a good 1/4 mile, and On Two Wheels,, there's nothing that's safer than flashing daylight lamp to have on, or sure enough, they'll merge right on top of...

    Motorcycles to Ariel X-52 E-Bike in NC

    Absolute - I as well have always had motorcycles all my life, and on the large farm, it saved my Fathers life when I went out looking for him not hearing machinery running. Going across fields 50 mph, vs walking, don't even want to imagine. Cheers - And the one's you chose are epic. * Too many...

    Video Interview with Justin - Grin Technologies

    This video is quite amazing - even 7 years ago - it auto started signing into Youtube's Tv app on PS4 , viewed on 55" Samsung. So much more enjoyable viewing vs laptop or cell phone. The Key point: I'm only half way into this video - but the Tech Info on Lithium Batteries discussed are So...

    Motorcycles to Ariel X-52 E-Bike in NC

    Exactly, it took me a good four hours to test and reset, and if needed with new set of pucks inserted, using micrometer, and it's good for at least 10k-20k miles, depending how it was tortured. Huge tray of pucks with .001 difference. There was one guy on YouTube a few years ago, made two...

    Oh Yes, Now picture entire crew of Honda Dealer on pack of them doing the same, drag racing at night 30 miles up Northern sector of 35 W North of Mpls - then doing the safety checks at wayside rest stop. Then go at again with over 250hp and 5th gear is still leaving a mark on the concrete...

    First Ebike - 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

    He looks familiar, where I purchased it just for work at a very large Chrysler Ford dealership where I had to cover a lot of ground taking care of several thousand cars coming in on transports from rail cars, inspection for paint damage to gun shots holes while on train cargo cars. That's why...

    I'm pretty sure I'd sneak him into bedroom - all wrapped in fleece comforter, reading it bedtime stories of how bikes used to be single speed, coaster brakes, deep sugar sand & schitt... Cheers

    Thanks' and the Tires is a new one. But I'm sure it's a valid safety feature when so many in Europe ride bikes. After living in and around Amsterdam for a couple years, it was simply amazing with multi-level pkg ramps just for bikes near train stations. It's still the only place one sees the...

    As head tech for Honda late 70's 80's, The CBX was 20 yrs ahead of it's time with shim bucket 4 valve heads. The only car with 4 valve heads was the late 60's Alfa Romeo.

    First Ebike - 2022 Trek Allant+ 7S

    I've had Trek bikes from early 80's - always was a quality made bike. But this is a really good looking unit. Thanks for sharing. I loved the saddle bags I had, still use as a daily carry to the store. It has a pair of quick clips on back side that simply clipped onto rear rack pretty much...

    Truly this is one if the nicest designs seen yet. Saved to gallery. It's almost too sexy, as in the Austin Martin class of hydraulically forced body designs. Cheers

    How do you clean your chain?

    Pressure washer is ultimate danger to every moving part. It can by-pass spokes into the rims, surely into hubs. Even using one on motorcycle, It's used more like rain shower to prewet only. Best option is 2 gal farm /garden sprayer with soap already mixed in - and good Terry cloth cut up rags...
