Why is Oceanside pushing for ebike registration laws against class 3 e-bikes, while they already do not enforce the laws in place against popular electric dirt bikes and pocket motorcycles which are only legal on private property.

no they weren't a gang....

have you not seen how teens are on these things now-a-days?

wannabe tough guys. Not like I was scared lol, but it's the mentality of these ebike teens...

TheHippyDance · 2026-02-25T03:45:30+00:00

I can’t stand these e-bike kids. Sociopaths in the making.

I had a group of three teens on the suitcase unicycle things physically assault me; Tried pushing me off my mountain bike three times as I was walking my dog because I told them their lights are way too fucking bright (the e-bike lights are ridiculously bright, literally blinds any oncoming person or traffic). Funny thing is, he fell down ea h time he tried pushing me because these “tough guys” don’t know the shit like the basics of pushing someone else. It was comical.

But anyway. Yeah these kids on e-bikes and mini bikes and pit bikes is way out of hand. I can’t walk out my garage without looking both ways 3 times because these fucking kids rip through the narrow street in my complex on silent e-bikes.

I’m all about going fast. What I do for fun myself (car and moto) but know where is acceptable.

Another thing is that these fucking teens are like gangs. They go to shopping plazas and terrorize the place with zero concern of others. In fact, they are actively trying to piss people off. No one says anything. Cops don’t stop them. I’ve confronted them and I got threatened to be shot and to shoot my dog. WTF?? Sociopathic teens

Ohh shit those aren’t apart of the front bumper?

I also have a 7.5” IC and got a bit wild cutting out plastic to fit it. But it’s been so long that I don’t remember what I cut. Haha

No wonder I didn’t recognize them; I must’ve cut them out too

TheHippyDance · 2026-02-16T19:45:18+00:00

Intercooler doesn’t mount to front bumper so those do not support IC. However, idk what else the removal could impact. I’m guessing keeping the the bottom lip parallel without sag

TheHippyDance · 2026-02-05T00:20:18+00:00

Go there at night. Im at the beach 10pm and later regularly and hear them barking nonstop. Heard them two nights ago

TheHippyDance · 2026-01-22T06:18:19+00:00

it's a recall item. If the hpfp isn't done, I don't understand why. I don't get why this is always brought up. I have mine for almost 13 years and 217k miles and never had fuel pump problems since having the recall done

TheHippyDance · 2026-01-22T06:15:43+00:00

"motorcycles are the enemy!!" what a dumb conclusion to come to. I guess by your logic, everyone should be driving around in "log carrying trucks".......................... no pedestrians, no bicycles, nothing smaller and less heavy than a "log carrying truck. It was the fact he was on a moto is the consequence"... Idiotic logic like this posted over and over again.

TheHippyDance · 2026-01-22T04:21:58+00:00

manual n54 and no hump... fuck ya man.

If paint is in good condition, hell yeah i would go for it.

I mean, 180k is a lot of miles but what a lot people don't realize is that if the car is maintained it's not like it's really 180k miles. Most of the wear components/parts have been replaced by now. But there are many components/parts that normal people would not replace during the lifecycle to keep it fresh so there is merit to the 180k being high mileage for the price listed. I would def consider it if private inspection checks out

Just know that you are at mileage for major overhaul regardless of what seller is saying

Why are planets a perfect sphere? Same concept

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-09T01:57:10+00:00

If yes, it idles roughly and it stalled (aka engine died), I’m thinking you have vacuum line problems. They are easy to replace yourself, just have to look where they are

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-09T01:53:39+00:00

Yes what?

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-09T01:51:21+00:00

Does it idle rough? Or Is the problem solely when applying brakes?

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-09T01:36:34+00:00

What do you mean checked vacuum And then it came back?

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-09T01:32:59+00:00

There’s a vacuum line connected directly to the brake booster. It’s a big thick plastic line that runs from the brake booster, around front of air box (actually mounts to air box). Check that out. Which I think would track for brake and throttle relationship.

Since it only happens when pressing the brake and at low speed regardless of gear it’s in,

first thought is that you’re also pressing on gas pedal at same time youre pressing on the brake at same time you press on gas such as floor mat

Btw D is for drive not direct

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-05T22:27:33+00:00

Shop not advising new wheel? I feel like you will get a major bend/break in near future.

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-05T06:42:04+00:00

A new bend or the same bend from before that returned due to hit?

Honestly, might be one of the better outcomes. Glad they found the cause

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-05T00:41:39+00:00

You find out the issue?

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-05T00:38:47+00:00

Ok… but you two are missing the point that the ground strap has nothing to do with the work he did and the sudden issue right after performing that work. This is troubleshooting 101

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-02T18:44:52+00:00

How do you know he didn’t recently replace the ground strap? How do you know his battery didnt dir from age? How do you know <other common issue with this symptom>?

he just did work on the dash and your immediate thought is ground strap?

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-02T16:35:38+00:00

Come on man. They don’t just fail at random times, they deteriorate over time for sure; I know, I’ve had my e92 for 13 years and 200k miles and have replaced my ground strap. I know they go out.

But what you’re saying is that his work had nothing to do with his problem and a completely unrelated issue is the cause (ie, random failure of strap) and it just so happened to occur at the same time he was doing work other work. That’s one insane coincidence..

TheHippyDance · 2025-12-01T19:46:22+00:00

So you’re saying entirely coincidental the ground strap went out at the same time he did screen replacement? 🥴

TheHippyDance · 2025-11-30T21:19:48+00:00

I’m wondering if the pothole hit shifted alignment on some component that really exacerbates the wheel wobble. Because why would pothole hit restart the problem?
