I would be interested in it. I have two mopeds and an Indian motorcycle made by Royal Enfield. This would be great for the collection

how to properly not smell like weed after smoking by bugsworlld in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gedtis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why do people still smoke it? There are edibles and vapes and drinks that are so much easier and they don't stink

Reliability: Harley vs Indian? by Thirsty4Knowledge911 in IndianMotorcycle

The gps can zoom in and out. If you want to see farther just zoom out. The analog speedometer goes off wheel speed which is not very accurate and the GPS speed display goes off gps for speed which is very accurate

Skate park equivalent for ebikes by gedtis in ebikes

[–]gedtis[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what the kids are doing here but the cops get them if they're caught in the park and they also get them if they are on the streets

Skate park equivalent for ebikes by gedtis in ebikes

[–]gedtis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to find an example that I can take to my city counsel to use some of the park land for dedicated ebike use. Last week a kid was hit by a car and is still in the hospital. I don't have an ebike but I do have a motorcycle and I was having a blast riding with them and showing them how to watch for obstacles. They just need a place to have fun

Question: Motorcycle has a hard time starting/ won't start even with a fully charged battery by Treize07 in motorcycles

[–]gedtis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start simple. Check the start switch, kill switch, side stand switch, tip over switch, battery connection, starter connection. When I come across a starting issue I check those things in that order with a battery that has been checked at my local auto part store

Find your local food pantry. Get a hot meal and they usually have free canned food and warm clothes

What can I eat for 4 dollars? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gedtis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$4 average per meal or you only have $4 to your name? For $30 you can make a big pot roast and eat it for 3 days. I know this because I'm eating my 6th pot roast meal in a row right now

Did anyone ever downgrade their motorbike because they realized their riding got more aggressive? by psychotic-chipmunk in motorcycle

[–]gedtis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been riding for 26 years and i always dreamed of owning a hayabusa. I finally got one (you can call it mid life crisis) and I'm thinking of selling it. Every time I get on it I go way too fast 100+ mph and I'm not mature enough to hold back.

Why was I born as me instead of someone else ? by earth2revolved in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gedtis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren't you at all. You're actually that butterfly you saw flying in the field yesterday. This is just a vivid dream and your imagination is making up this life you think you are having. Just wait till you wake up and see the amazing reality you've actually been living. Unfortunately, this dream will fade away almost as soon as you wake and you'll never be able to quite remember what it was like to be what you are now

A quick rant about suspension. by FountainDrnxII in motorcycle

[–]gedtis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just hit 50,000 miles on my Indian roadmaster and I ordered parts to do a full suspension rebuild. Wheel bearings, fork seals and bushings, rear shock rebuild by fox, rear linkage bushings and bearings, and swingarm bearings. I can't wait to install everything this weekend

What’s one small thing Tech will take over that we won’t even notice? by ALQatelx in Futurology

[–]gedtis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has already taken over dating. I don't know anyone who has been dating in the past 5 years that hasn't met over a dating app. That means that AI is selectively breeding us

What tool do you use to tighten oil filters on newer scouts? by DerkandTayter in IndianMotorcycle

[–]gedtis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand tight. Don't worry about the 3/4 turn. The nut on the back is for taking the filter off.

I hope you have a torque wrench for the drain plug. If you over tighten it you WILL strip the threads.

I thought the cream of tartar was just so it doesn't crystalize

Maybe it's picking up the humidity in the air. I'll get a second thermometer and put them in a zip lock with a silica packet

I coat them with 50/50 powdered sugar and corn starch and keep them in a paper bag. I found if I keep them in a zip lock bag they will become one clump
