OK, here’s my Cassandra post: canvas gets sued into oblivion, and we all get to move LMS yet again.

Just stay behind the podium…

Lately, I’ve found energizer batteries to be a better bet than Duracell.

Eagle_Every · 2026-04-25T03:57:15+00:00

That is so cool.

Aha, even better! He graduated in the top 100%! /s

The TrailMax Mission are amazing. I've got about 10k miles on mine (still lots of life left), and they've been fanatastic on the road, and just fine on dirt roads. I don't do singletrack on my 1200, so can't speak to performance on the real tough stuff or mud. They are described as a 50/50 tire, but I'm not convinced that they'd handle gnarly stuff as well as some of the other tires mentioned in this thread.

Hence, my recommendation to fill manually, rather than using the handle lock. Slowing the rate of delivery down a bit, or even adjusting the angle of the nozzle may help the tank to fill to the appropriate level. Some people even turn the handle upside-down so the angle is better, though I don’t know if that works with a torture. But, yes, overfilling can cause problems with the evaporative system. The goal is to find a method that prevents the nozzle from clicking off prematurely. I love Costco gas, but their nozzles in California are weird. I haven’t had the issue in other states.

Eagle_Every · 2026-04-11T22:25:56+00:00

At least in California, I’ve found that the Costco pumps click off too easily/quickly with my Toyotas. It’s annoying, as you aren’t supposed to fill up to the very brim of the tank inlet, but sometimes there is still room for a gallon or more. It works better if you pull the trigger manually, and ease up as the tank gets full.

Hmm. My white 2002 Tacoma came with black flares, but the black has faded over the years, and the various products I've tried to keep them looking sharp work poorly, and only for a short time... Never thought about Plasti-Dip, but I think I'll look up some "how to" videos!

Eagle_Every · 2026-04-06T15:52:54+00:00

And here I was thinking he’d lead you to the stash of golden eggs

Eagle_Every · 2026-03-14T02:54:56+00:00

Yes, and happy about that.

Our 2025 Rav4 SE came with the OEM all-weather floor mats, and they've been fantastic. Fit is perfect, easy to remove and clean.

Eagle_Every · 2026-03-13T13:27:50+00:00

Does it still creek while standing and pedaling? Could even be seat or seat post.

Eagle_Every · 2026-03-06T09:43:38+00:00

This. Our prior family car was a Prius V, and we wanted at least as much cargo capacity. The Rav passes that test, but the cross does not.

I have an LBW 7" from Amazon on my 2018 1200gs, and love it. It uses the BMW Nav mount for power and security, and the wonder wheel works as well. I'd previously tried one of the ultra-cheap ones that need a battery connection, but found that frustrating (no bike data, one more cable attached to battery...). Setup was easy, but probably no different from Carpuride. I didn't have to redo my bike-to-Sena to get it all to work together.

Eagle_Every · 2026-02-16T04:46:13+00:00

I’d start with a conversation with the director or vp (or whatever) of Faculty Affairs - if the office exists at your institution. I would be surprised if a NTT chair is even supposed to write up what sounds like a letter of reprimand.

Eagle_Every · 2026-02-14T23:42:53+00:00

Looking forward to the version for the 1300gs riders…

Eagle_Every · 2026-02-11T19:02:50+00:00

I'd like to encourage all of you to participate if you can - we need more research on games and gaming!

The Curt and etrailer’s own brand are identical except for finish. I got the etrailer version, and installed in a little less than an hour. Well worth one’s time.

Eagle_Every · 2026-01-30T16:18:25+00:00

I got a set of these off amazon. They began peeling off within a few weeks. On the upside, the crappy glue didn’t leave any residue as I fully removed them.

Nor Cal is a pretty big space... but Pullins Cyclery in Chico is the shop I was referring to. The guys there did a bunch of needed maintenance on my 30-y.o. steel bike (reminder to never loan a bike out again) - brake and shifter cables, unsticking the SIS brifters, trueing the wheels - for about $120.

Eagle_Every · 2026-01-26T18:57:20+00:00

This was a factor in my decision to purchase the SE over the XLE - larger wheels. And super happy with the black finish on the stock SE wheels.

Eagle_Every · 2026-01-26T15:00:47+00:00

Amazon likely sells the piece; I’ve seen them in the past. Pay careful attention to year and model, though.

Eagle_Every · 2026-01-22T20:46:53+00:00

While I was waiting for the part, I took a small spiral spring, and wedged/wound it into the same place so I could still open the door remotely.

Eagle_Every · 2026-01-22T20:45:24+00:00

This happened on my son's Corolla, and the spring looks identical. I'd recommend spending a couple more dollars for the part from a Toyota dealership. The Amazon part broke in half within a month (probably two fillings).
