    Best Cruiser motorcycle on a budget?

    Mine was the 1250, but basically the same bike, and a great bike at that. I've owned 1000 cc crotch rockets, and many other styles, nowadays I prefer dual sports for about 3/4 of my riding. I did like the demo ride on the new KTM 1290 though, but not cheap, or for newbies like the OP wants. It...

    New definition of optimism....

    Seems like a bargain considering it has a green spinner. Those are rare, and worth every penny of the asking price alone. The rest of the plane is just a freebie thrown in as a bonus.

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    I am of the mindset an EV is a good second vehicle for a family. They can use it for errands and short drives, but parked beside it is a gas powered vehicle for their trips, towing, etc. I just don't see it being their only vehicle for about 95% of people. I'll use my GF as an example, she may...

    Is there a POA award for best post of the year? If so I would like to nominate this one.

    So just how does one make an NTSB report disappear

    Deep pockets and the right connections...heck enough of both you can get a man killed in prison, and the story spun as suicide.

    Ok, who was it? Fess up Treetop Flyer

    Looks like some people will have to wait a little longer than usual for their meth this month.

    Best Cruiser motorcycle on a budget?

    Now back on topic, when my girlfriend was learning to ride, i got her a 250 dualsport for practice, then a year later she had some experience but I wanted to get her an easy bike to ride, so chose a Yamaha Bolt. She loves it and its a great all around bike, and something to consider OP.

    Best Cruiser motorcycle on a budget?

    I have several bikes, and don't remember the mileage off hand, but when I get home tomorrow night I can look. Mine has been bulletproof so far though. Makes me wonder if the valves were too tight. Some people are not used to the Ducati valve train, and they don't adjust them correctly. Many...

    Bad: Downwind departure at non-towered airport?

    About 98% have what we call an advisory channel. Basically a channel us pilots can chat on about the winds, weather, runway obstructions, and our intentions with each other. I recently announced that I was going to "buzz" the runway to try and make the people who were using it as a drag racing...

    Mustang Mach E

    My girlfriend's grandfather does that now, and he has never driven an ev. He has had to stop driving recently, he will occasionally forget where he is, where he left the car, even where home is...but he has come home and parked in the driveway, just left the car running for hours until someone...

    Bad: Downwind departure at non-towered airport?

    Having been in a similar situation with a couple of other planes in the pattern, at an uncontrolled airport, I just announced that I would be making a right turn and flying downwind right, because that was the direction up the valley I wanted to go. Both others heard me, acknowledged, and...

    Mustang Mach E

    Okay, when I read it, that sounded like 24/7 the climate control was on keeping the temp perfect, so anytime an owner was wanting to go for a drive it was ready. I can't begin to imagine how much power that would use per year. I can park my truck with the heat or AC left turned on, push the...

    Air-to-Air Cessna 190

    That is one of the most beautiful planes i've ever seen, and stunning pictures of it Jack. And yes if you shot the inside of it to, please post a picture of that as well.

    Tesla Pickup Unveil

    Another high amperage 240 volt plug is more than the current panel can take in many homes, especially older ones. And running the equivalent of a dryer 10 hours a day is a lot of electricity used.

    Best Cruiser motorcycle on a budget?

    My 2010 Ducati Multi Strada 1200 has been rock solid reliable! One of the very best bikes I've ever owned, and had many. Not sure why Ducati has a bad name with some people.

    Subaru Engine

    I had a Subaru WRX for 4 years, not one mechanical problem with it, just regular maintenance. That engine seemed to be bulletproof.

    Selecting a Headset

    I can see for sure how that would tick you off Ryan, and yes 9+ hours is a heck of a day for sure.
