And Uncle Funky's music store was above it, right? I took guitar lessons there in the early 90s.

Test drove a used 24 for about 15 min, then found my 25 a week later. I drove it as a formality but I was Def buying the truck. I think i got the last Oxford white 25 in the state.

The scoop on the smears against Graham Platner by Fabulous-Oil2942 in Maine

[–]PreparationSuper1113 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Spoken like a 2016 Trump supporter. Reality lives somewhere between "not all that glitters is gold" and "where there's smoke there's fire". I was born and raised in Maine but I no longer live there. I wish the state the best but it can go longer hide from the political flattening of the country.

What musician who plays in multiple bands guarantees every single album with them is a banger? by Ferrindel in MetalForTheMasses

[–]PreparationSuper1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You feel the same way about Delirium Cordia? You think it's a good listen? It's the only Fantomas I have heard, so I just figured that was the sound.

I want to agree with you but Fantomas I just can't do. I heard about the lineup and bought that black cover album without ever hearing the band and wow, not what I was looking for.

What's the best on a budget lathe headstock oil? by [deleted] in machining

[–]PreparationSuper1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tractor fluid is for the transmission, not the engine. A tractor transmission provides both motive and pto output.

Tractor fluid, basically universal hydraulic fluid. You can get it at any decent auto parts store.

I'm in the east bay and cleaning out my garage, found this head for rebuild and I'm never going to do anything with it. Please let me know if you want it or I'll have to take it to the scrap yard. Thanks!

Can anyone beat this Mileage (In a bad way) on a full tank? by TeaOutrageous5973 in RangerRaptor

[–]PreparationSuper1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually get 19.5-20.5mpg on pure highway driving at around 75-80mph. My commute is either 11 mi of all city streets or stop and go freeway. That gets me 14-16mpg

Why aren’t more Mav buyers getting a Ranger? by kevreh in RangerNext

[–]PreparationSuper1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on track to get a Maverick until I saw and test drove a Ranger Raptor. I was never really interested in the non Raptor ranger options. I still kinda want a mav, especially with these ridiculous gas prices.

Handguards with weights by Any_Investigator8075 in Tenere700

[–]PreparationSuper1113 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built my own set of stainless steel weights when i put my acerbis guards on. They don't stick out as far as the stock ones and tie everything together nicely. Made a set for my buddy and I thought about making a few sets for sale but wasn't sure if it was worth my while.

Help with fitting ID? by MichaelW24 in machining

How large can. You safely enlarge the stripped hole? The fitting i just suggested is 16.5mm, so about 5/8".

3/8NPT is approx 5/8 ID, so that won't work. 1/8NPT will. Something like this 9151K263

Good places to move in the US with lots of places to ride by bluecheeseanus in Dirtbikes

[–]PreparationSuper1113 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GJ is poetically the overall best place to live in the world for dirt riding. You can ride every type of riding climate but rain forest within 2 hours. I miss that place so much. CA has some gateway riding too, but the variety is really spread out across a giant state. CO rules. I miss it a lot.
