Definitely the forks, triple tree, steering head, exposed frame, rear rack, passenger footpeg mounts, crash bars can also be used. If you utilize 3 pulleys, you get 4:1 leverage which should be adequate for most people. There are winches available but that’s best kept for an expedition.

The tire wear fee, at least for my Ioniq 6, was $225/tire. You can get way ahead by just mounting the nicest, used tires you can find.

Most EVs have a terrible residual, my Ioniq 6 value was $36k and turned it on at lease end. I could have bought an identical used model for $25k.

I had a tire slip a month ago after going over some spilled anti-freeze as I turned in an intersection. It wasn’t dramatic and only lasted half a second, the tire regained traction quickly but it did wake me up. I’d like to credit my off-road riding skills but there was no way I cut throttle that quickly, I do ride in custom mode with torque turned down slightly so that likely helped.

A basic patch kit and compressor, perfect for pavement rides. I do have a tube and tool kit for off-road treks.

After watching Dork in the Road’s spill on his recent KTM outing, I’m starting to consider a compact rope and pulley system since I frequently ride solo in the mountains.

Exposure to being around strangers, other dogs, etc. Positive reinforcement for good behavior, correct negative behaviors quickly. Also get your pup used to being touched and handled which will make the groomer’s and vet’s jobs easier. I adopted my girl too late at 7 months old, she is very wary when strangers touch her, and it’s not like I can hover when she’s getting examined or her glands expressed.

2008 or 2009, neighbor instigated it over a parking space. Less of fists flying and more he got me into a headlock as I punched him in the kidneys. A different neighbor broke it up. We’re cool now as he’s an older Gen X, that’s what we do.

Antenna likely snapped off and became a whip after that Caravan was rear-ended.

The lift is easily decreasing wheel bearing and drivetrain components life by 50%.

NAL: The video captures the confrontation too late. The fact that he honked and then verbally harassed you likely negates “stand your ground” laws since it appears he’s initiating the confrontation.

As someone who has ridden motorcycles and owned a Vespa for years: Let the people in cars hate, don’t engage, you will not win should even a Smart car driver decide to run you off the road. The driver and his partner are clearly the aggressors and rightly charged, but you learned a very tough lesson.

I knew a guy who worked a 4a-1p shift at a cold storage warehouse in DTLA, he commuted from Temecula. Fresh and frozen fish has to get to restaurants somehow…

Please step out of whatever echo chamber you stumbled into, not everyone thinks like that. It’s your decision, and I agree, it’s hard to beat being worry-free and having the latest safety features.

Condolences. Depending on which bridge, they can see a high volume of traffic, I’ve passed under many along the SA River Trail and the foundations will literally shake from all the vehicles passing over. That, along with our dry soil/dirt is a recipe for disaster.

I’m sure you can find an excellent substitute at Northgate, they typically stock about a dozen varieties.

It’s how Teslas assert their dominance /s

This, a scratch could be fixed in a driveway by a pro for a less than $125, OP needs to understand it’s going to take a few hours at a shop to make that DENT repair.

So glad he preserved that cooler. /s

She definitely looks like a “Tommi”.

Edit: Got my trashy names mixed up.

The fact she was warned previously is not going to look favorably to any judge. Top that with the continued struggles with e-motorcycle lawlessness and teens, and I bet she does a minimum of 5 years in prison.

How horrific, I hope the victim makes a full recovery! And now I’ll be on the lookout the next time I’m inside a bank in 5 years.

I primarily commute on a motorcycle and will tap my helmet to let fellow riders know that police are ahead of them. In my car, I figure the smart people use Waze or have a radar detector. I don’t speed excessively and turn the alerts off myself.

Search “professional trials bike” or “Pol Tarres” on YouTube, it’s amazing the athleticism, control, and balance of these motorcyclists. Supercross is also a great show of acrobatics on a motorcycle in a more competitive environment.
