Well dressed homeless people, looks like a riding gear explosion happened too. Flats are a PIA, good job getting going again.

Western States Historical Locations and Stuffs
Uncle Champ replied to 97xr400r's topic in Open Discussion
Hmmmmm, years ago we used to go up there in firetrucks, then a few years ago the indian tribe said no go, then I heard you could pay and go, street legal only. Could be a fun trial. -
Ok kids, I have been tasked with finding a beachy resort to go to in Feb , march or so, a pool would be nice, a beach would be great, good food and drink is a must. A resort full of tourist kids screaming in the pool is not cool. Mexico is good , further OK, don't want to look at old naked people ( I see one every day) briefly. Sportfishing would be cool. Scuba/snorkel also cool. Have passport, will fly etc. Any good tips? PM OK

I'll bet that trailer is happy, good job. Safe travels, if you need anything let me know. -
Ok so I just learned something. I saved a big bottle of CO2 from the scrap pile at work, hey compressed air for tires right? Portable free etc. Works great but did you know CO2 won't stay in tires? Rumor has it CO2 is 11 times more slippery than air. I had tires going flat did a little research and surprise surprise when I fill the tire with air it stays up, CO2 no bueno for tires. There you go, learn something every day.

OK I'm hijacking this thread, I could use the CO2 in my kegerator that I don't know how to set up. Its a used reefer unit with all new hoses etc. Any professional beer drinkers here that can clue me in how to set it up?

WWII Harley WLA on a M3A1 Scoutcar

Thru hell and highwater with a pistol in their hand. I liked the water crossing instruction, keep throttle at full and use the clutch to control speed. Boy what a dream it would be to find one of those bikes. -

Me too. Places I could go as a kid that were public land are all closed, and being forgotten. More taxes and fees just pay for more people to tell us no. -
I walked all the way thru Saturday, there was a ceiling collapse on the Mex side, would be rough to ride over but could be done.

Try Mosko, they are making lots of new straps, and field tested.

Sorry, I think this was mostly tongue in cheek, sure lets go riding, stop by first and let me check your tire pressures, I have some extra tire filler stuff.

Thats the trestle at Dogpatch, there used to be a fun bar and other distractions right there along the highway, anyway I used to ride over the trestle and on to Tecate for tacos etc. So Dogpatch tunnel, there is a white line on the wall about half way thru denoting the border.

Tube Migration Challenge
Uncle Champ replied to SoCalMule's topic in Wheels, Tires, Chains & Sprockets
If you were a truly balanced rider with your karma and paraphenylendiamines in true harmony wouldn't the throttle twisting and subsequent brake abuse balance out? Hmmmmmm. Just take some self tapping screws and install thru the side of the rim just far enough to grab the bead of the tire. Hey it worked in the 3 wheeler days when you pumped the motor way up with a 105 kit and ran 1.8 lbs of air in the rears and rode like a wild man in the dunes. I'll take Alpine Duet beer, thanks.- 21 replies

Black surface, direct sun usually 40 degrees hotter than white surface. Unscientific but there you go.

That's BS, what about us guys with a full head of thinning hair or less?

A friends daughter just got caught for something very similar to your suggestion. Her fine is in the $1000. range and up. You would probably get towed too, how do you feel about walking in riding gear?
