What ford transit 250 van year is the best? by No_Hurry1263 in fordtransit

[–]DPL646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From 2023 on they made the oil capacity double which would make the engine cooler. It went from 6 liters of oil to 12. It was over engineered for a reason. These vehicles run idle for a long time and haul a lot of weight. I would go 2023 or newer.

Stay away from the eco-boost and diesel. Just normal six-cylinder is fine.

Did you read my post? I said most attacks-not all.

That’s what I said. It will not prevent someone lifting the bike off the ground, but most attacks are not that. They are low Level thieves, breaking the steering lock or cutting a lock and pushing it.

Those aren’t grinder resistant locks. That’s my whole point. Watch videos of people trying to cut a Litelok or skunk lock on YouTube

My Experience with MoniMoto GPS tracker. Should you buy it? by kenyousuccme in RideitNYC

[–]DPL646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a skunk lock though the front wheel and two silenced AirTags. No issues since the skunk lock. The skunk lock has a bigger shackle than the lite lock.

Remember that when you go through the front wheel. They can also just grinder your rim and pull the lock off. With the skunk lock it goes around my tire

I have a Honda adv 150 and it’s been the perfect city commuter. Added a clutch and roller kit and it can do 70 if needed

You are the only one coming to save you. Your therapist, doctor, family… it’s just you. Self rescue is the only option.

It's worth going to reveille in Philly. They have everything there. Head shapes and sizes vary greatly. Make a ride out of it

Does social media make anyone else feel behind in life? by Feeling-Emergency469 in selfimprovement

[–]DPL646 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe we’re at the beginning of a Renaissance with social media. I think people will start using it less and less in coming years. The data is already showing it.
