    Fat man on a little bike.

    Ghetto Bobber

    I've had good luck with the eBay knockoff carbs. Those carbs you have right now might need more work than it's worth. Here's a bobber I built in 2018 It's a 749 Yamaha Virago

    Fat man on a little bike.

    I'm down. My buddies all have those Coleman mini bikes and mob around SLC in big groups. My classy old timer motorcycle friend told me once, "scooters are like fat chicks- fun to ride but you don't want your friends to see you on one." My wife and I have had 3 or 4 scooters in our history. I...

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    I have a knock off one of those too- the foot straps broke after three rides... Now I'm using twine -probably not the best choice

    Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled

    So my wife and I ran into town to go to supercross on our Scramblers Saturday. So great. Got to park up close. Then she got to do her first lane filtering through downtown traffic and we got out of there in 1/3 of the time. So proud. It's a little intimidating the first time especially if...

    New Cordless Tools

    I've recently discovered these battery adapters they sell on eBay. Mostly they're 3d printed jobbers. I'd like to try one for some less expensive tools that my brand doesn't have (like a cordless Bauer hot glue gun from HF that's $20) I don't want another new battery and charger but that would...

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    For sure the size hurts, but It's the oxidation that takes amperage to break through. If you clean them with a flap wheel and preheat with a torch it'll start at lower amperage.

    I hate Craigslist Lowballers...

    I had a guy come look at my trailer for sale the other day. (my ad reads "6'x12' heavy duty dual axle trailer) First thing he says <"This is 12' ft right? I'm a scrapper so I get paid by the load" *Spends 10 minutes crawling over the thing* "I think I need a longer trailer, like at least 16ft...

    Lighten the mood

    Also my 25 mo old has a rocking horse. He thinks it's a Donkey. He will fight you if you tell him it's a horse. Today I asked him what book he wanted to read before his nap. He said "Daniel Tigah on the Donkey chai-ah" Took me a minute to figure out he wanted me to read him "Daniel Tiger" on...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I spent a bunch of time talking to industry experts, ride demo days and YouTube reviews. And the most quiet helmet available currently is a Shueberth. They are the only manufacturer that actually advertises a decibel deminishment rating. And quiet seams to be their niche. Alas they don't fit my...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    Almost every new premium helmet is setup for COMS these days. Ryan F9 has some really great info on Snell vs ece vs dot. Along with thoughtful info on adv and quiet helmets. But I agree with him that Snell is not the best rating currently. The higher ECE is more desirable. He also quite...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    Low speed ventilation is where the Klim suffers. It's my experience that no ADV helmet will be quiet except ones with rounder shapes, less ventilation and smaller head openings. These are the three main sources of wind noise. Shoei and Arai are about it but they are expensive too. Ask Chad...

    Talk to me about big adventure bikes.

    I've tried on that klim helmet. It's not that special. And I'll tell you what I've told multiple people: 2 helmets. 1 off-road based ADV helmet. That Klim isn't nearly ventilated enough for any real off-road riding and it will get sweaty. 1 on road helmet. ADV helmets have 2 things against...
