I must say, Nodog's chain cleaning kit looks awesome  laughingdp  Why don't I have that stuff?


If the chain is not cleaned periodically, wouldn't the grit on the chain accelerate the wear on the sprockets... not to mention the seals on the links?

Doesn't matter of course; I'll still spend rediculous amounts of time cleaning my bikes  bang head  laughingdp

If they published real numbers then I'd be impressed but considering they do about 30,000 in production (their break-even point) and we know nothing about total import to US it's hard to quantify.  Yeah yeah yeah, pissing all over this today but I'm sick of these "bright" articles without substance.  Ok truth is I quit smoking so I'm pissy.......period.

Yeah! My new levers are at the local USPS in from
Hong Kong. I found out I keep looking in my non-existent
(broken off) left mirror every time, then have to use the right
one. Yep, I slow dropped the Hyper a while back bang head

I should have kept that mirror from the holiday party, you could have drew a picture of a car, tapped to the mirror and would had something to look at then.... of course that would have made left turns a bit difficult.   laughingdp

no joke.  if she's still around after tax bills I might consider this one a gonner but I'll have to hide it from the wife.  I'll bet there would be no shortage of garages available.

...or kitchens.  waytogo

I believe you are supposed to have them installed.
If they are broken/non-functional then you are required to signal with hand signals...   Police

Interesting article about the laser spark plugs, but not enough nuts/bolts on the science aspect. the style of writing painted a picture of the ICE as an archaic device holding on by its claws.  that didn't really jive with me - there's a WHOLE lot of science going into the well-contained, frequent explosions that we rely on to drive to the end of the driveway to pick up the newspaper.

I would be going to jail after beating this worthless driver with no insurance or drivers license.  I hope jail is in order for the driver and becomes their cell mates toy.

HOLY CRAP.  Wendy just sent me the same link.  I completely agree.  I would happily spend my last few minutes on earth strangling him with his own seatbelt.  Angry
