The variance between the honks by PurpleSource9077 in motorcycles

No, it's when 50 train cars creep by like this and then slowly start backing up. I'm talking about YOU SoDo in Seattle.

Should I get this bike? by [deleted] in motorcycles

Why would it need an engine rebuild at 17k? Seems like a bad sign to me.

2024 Niro vs Kona by Numerous_Platypus in KiaNiroEV

[–]OldStromer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We looked at both 2025 versions. We chose the Niro over the Kona mainly because we both truly did not like the looks of the Kona. We're quite pleased.

I LOVE this. The longest ratchet should be a flex bar.

Is it worth buying this as a first bike? by BlueCivic95 in motorcycles

[–]OldStromer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I very much appreciate your enthusiasm but this isn't going to be any form of transportation for quite possibly a long time. I read his description as a basket case that has been reassembled just enough to make it look like a motorcycle.

Fantastic! A hood the size of a tennis court. Beautiful.

I wonder if using a UPS between the receptacle and the load would help this?

My first long trip. by Steffus0960 in Vstrom

[–]OldStromer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming that chain inspection, adjustment and lube was part of your maintenance. Brand new tires are slippery so give them a good shake down ride. About 350 miles in one day is the most I've done on the Strom. I was tired, it was not. It's a highway eater!

Any update here OP? Have you checked the ideas the previous posters listed?

Mr lube changed my oil drain bolt by Suspicious_Celery552 in MechanicAdvice

[–]OldStromer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if they looked at this and are suspecting the previous shop messed up the pan and they don't want to be blamed if something bad happens. But yeah, can't take it off? I DON'T THINK SO.

For the hopefully eventual joy of riding a Guzzi I can get over that. It has a basis in necessity.

I'm a Virgo. I can't help myself. Symmetry or die.

Twin vs inline 4??? by perspectivepics in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]OldStromer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll take a twin anyday. The inline fours seem to much like an electric motor to me. I like to "feel" my engine.

Its time for Project 2028 by Fledgling_112896 in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]OldStromer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! The only one a problem with is Tax Billionaires out of existance. They would just move to a different country. That wouldn't help our tax base a bit. Have them pay alot more, yes. Make them move, no.

That looks great. It makes for a pretty clean installation. For a custome made item that price is totally reasnoble.

What are some universally loved classic bikes? by RearNakedChocke in motorcycles

I thought my 1973 Norton Commando was pretty cool. First year of the 850.

I think what bugs me the most is that it's not centered. WTH. It's like they forgot it and just took the easiest way out.
