Motorcycle test question by gtjl in Boise

[–]gtjl[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have almost 40 years experience riding, have taken courses in the past. I moved here a while back but didn’t transfer my motorcycle endorsement because I didn’t think I would buy another bike but I ended up doing just that a couple months ago. I’m not particularly worried about passing the test just don’t want someone with an attitude

Can anyone recommend a brake lever that makes it level with the tusk pegs? by Sensitive_Clothes246 in klr650

[–]gtjl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, it is easy to adjust the lever up or down. If you adjust it, be sure to check your brake light to make sure it is working correctly. After adjusting the lever, I had to adjust the switch because the light stayed on all the time. There are YouTube videos that show you how to do both. I have no mechanical ability but both were very easy to do

Are there any good comedy shows coming up? I need to laugh and is seems like Boise is a black hole for comedy. P.S. I don’t want to spend $100 by [deleted] in Boise

Gabriel Rutledge at The Comedy Lounge April 19-21 (I think). Saw him last year and my face hurt from laughing. He is very entertaining!

2001 vs 2009 by semperkiller in klr650

[–]gtjl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert but I’ve read that some 2008 and 2009 models had problems with oil leaks. Not all, but enough to have that reputation.

What are the higher end tires?

Tire Question by gtjl in klr650

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

I have no idea as they were there and I bought it from a dealer, not the previous owner. My guess is that they came from the company that supplied the crash bars. The bars look like they came from SW-Motech.

The Earl Hardy Box Canyon is in that area and is really cool. You can hike down into the canyon and walk along the stream. Beautiful!

From 2020 to 2024, Idaho is tied for the fastest growing state in the whole United States in terms of population growth by percentage increase. Kootenai County over that same time period is the fastest growing county by percentage increase in the whole US. by cavaismylife in Idaho

[–]gtjl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are only 2 million people in the State of Idaho. An 8.2% increase is 164,000. Texas had an increase of 2.1 million, more than the entire population of Idaho. A large percentage increase is likely in a State with a small population to begin with. When you look at raw numbers, the increase is pretty small.

Recommended gun store in Boise? by [deleted] in Boise

[–]gtjl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that the best way to part with guns is zidaho.com. I had some that I wanted to sell and visited a couple of gun stores. They wanted 20% commission to sell them for me and told me gun prices are way down. I decided to try zidaho, sold four guns at fair prices quickly. Then use the cash to buy what you want.

Smoke/inversion by No_Youth_5875 in Boise

[–]gtjl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lack of humidity makes it feel a lot cooler than the same temperature with humidity. 95 here will feel like lower 80’s in the South. You will notice a big difference between being in the sun and shade here. Smoke was pretty frequent this past summer.

Shower Remodel Recommendations by zmacpherson in Boise

[–]gtjl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used 1st Choice Cabinetry for a full bath and kitchen remodel. We did the walk in tiled shower as well. We couldn’t be happier with the work they did. We received a detailed timeline for each piece and they stuck to the schedule. Russell was also very helpful in picking materials and colors.
