    Would you like to know how dumb I am?

    I line my helmet with tinfoil, and ground it to the bike.

    But they're blue. I don't do color.
  3. So would you say riding was responsible, at least in part, for your successful performance? Because that'd make the expenses associated with riding would then be deductible. Check with your tax advisor before investing.

    Bagstrs Trivial Mechanical and Equipment Issues

    I'll be watching. Certainly the Golan has significant cool factor- looks like a nice piece of kit. One would think 5/16 is the same as 5/16- people have been substituting the NAPA filter for years. One of my concerns would be the coating on the Earl's- is it paint, powder coat or anodized?

    Why would you prefer a $57 10 micron over a $14 10 micron?

    Mitas E09 / E10 tires

    Yup- been running them happily for years. A good compromise, lots of miles.

    I suspect it's no coincidence the BestDualSport AND the Earl's are both 10 micron.

    Nope. There are threaded options available, like the fine example of photography demonstrates. But our application uses the barbed type like the image with the business card. And one can buy the 90-degree male version separately- you don't need to buy the whole kit. On my bike the 90 degree male is on the bike itself, and the female part (with the thumb-lever-thing) is on the tank side. I have three tanks, so it was not an inexpensive proposition. There was a post here (or KTM talk) where one could buy these CPC fittings from an aquarium supply or somewhere MUCH cheaper. But I can't find that post.

    Yes, the CPC's all interfit- I have a fuel transfer hose hat uses the cheapest aquarium fittings, and they fit right into my metal ones. To be clear- the metal fittings are FAR more robust on the outside, but I'm not sure they're stronger in the valve portion inside. They both use identical orings.

    Or, with a better image, if I do say so myself. But this is the pipe thread version and we need the 5/16 barbed type as above.
  13. Funny! I felt like a much younger lion helping out the much older lion.

    Nope. There you are assuming again.

    Antenna Upgrade for Baofeng UV-5R Radio

    I believe I have. but let's try again. Here's the Rugged Radios that matches the RR radio. https://www.ruggedradios.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=182_840_400&products_id=1359 This is the one I use on my Baofengs, essentially (but not 100%) same radio as the RR: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013QO4AY8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    A not insignificant penalty.
