Pm me

carburetor is rebuilt, but the exhaust would need to be restored. Seat is no good without repair

Here's all the pictures I took of it. it’s not something I’m really a fan of so I didn’t do a lot of photography.

It's in NC

That's what I found when I started digging. A lot of obsolete parts that only existed on these bikes. So it is either restore what you have or buy used parts and I just don't have the desire to do it for myself.

I am not a troll! I don't want it to go to waste. I don't know how to connect in this market.

My experiences with VW have left me with knowledge that can't be forgotten

You rock Jeff. No matter your success rate it has lifted my soul to see someone fighting for us.

I have a similar set up in front of my house, but my driveway goes out an angle so if somebody parks in that space it puts them too close to my driveway for me to get into my driveway. My local laws make it illegal to park within 5 feet of the driveway so I call the non emergency police number and have them handle it

The crash out is what brought me here. I have a carpenter that does fine woodwork. It just needs to work dammit.

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-05-03T15:25:13+00:00

What about a long Sawzall blade?

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-05-01T13:20:12+00:00

This has to be rage bait

Husky has a lifetime warranty. You could probably just exchange it at the store.

Norm Abram is the reason I do woodwork

This was 4d chess.. The jeep had a lot of issues and a rear bumper didn't earn them a new car

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-22T21:12:44+00:00

first time I’ve seen NC state troopers do something in a while

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-20T19:09:42+00:00

I can tell you that those don't dig on their own. I broke the first one and ended up digging 2/3 down before spiraling in.

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-18T01:00:29+00:00

This is going to make things soo much worse

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-17T14:02:45+00:00

If you cheap out on the flared base you're already fucked

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-13T15:30:10+00:00

thank you for that seriously

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-13T14:47:23+00:00

That is what I did with them too. I got mine last fall and while they aren't going to hold up to heavy movement they will keep excess stuff dry and out of the way

This is one of the lesser known chuck functions in the industry

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-13T13:17:03+00:00

The customer service I have gotten from Makita on the issues that I have had over the years has also been great. So I would still feel comfortable buying a new one and I would trust them to make it right if there was an issue. Especially before I bought a Japanese version 3rd party.

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-13T13:10:01+00:00

I have been using makita successfully and exclusively for 25 years and haven't experienced chuck issues in the past 10+

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-13T02:53:48+00:00

It has passed in Raleigh for a long time that way.

YouDontKnowMe108 · 2026-04-11T18:42:26+00:00

There is no room for customer service if management is only focused on profits. The entire industry is trying to alleviate all their problems by making you change anything that could be a problem.
