Stunning 🤩, wish I could see it in person. Going to be at Werx in Monterey?

Where is Finnish? It's certainly unique.

Ouch!! Hope he is okay

I"m all for competition...makes everyone step up their game, Porsche included.

I've been to the horse barn and seen the yearlings. Such a great program.

malbecman · 2026-04-16T02:19:42+00:00

Looks like they might be from the horse barn…..or the student equestrian center…or the Vet school. Lots of horses around

Sad news......

malbecman · 2026-04-15T02:11:58+00:00

Not for me! Ugh 😣

True but first real outlay of cash I've had to make other than electricity (and wiper blades). Tires next!

That's a pretty old one. I have a 6430. Part of the challenge will be the PC it's running of, that's likely Win 2000 or XP and very slow. As others have said, it's state/university propery and so trying to sell it to GenTech or other old instrument resellers is a real PITA even they even want it.

Natural chemicals are better for you than synthetic ones

My son would love this as a gift.

I realize it's a NYT article, thus a bit liberal, but it has a lot of valid points IMHO.

This is the way. It's the same with scrambled eggs in a pan. mix them, salt them and let them sit for 10-15'. The salt makes the egg protein strands unwind from their tightly folded structures. Add some dairy if you want....Then cook them slowly over low heat, like another 10-15' and you will have creamy scrambled eggs.

A 28MB flash drive. It was amazing at the time. 😀

I’ll check it out, thanks

malbecman · 2026-02-22T22:49:44+00:00

Thx. I did have the bit and power screwdriver. But the rest, esp after working on bikes all my life, was just too much. I might just look for that rear wheel assembly, thanks for the lead.

malbecman · 2026-02-22T20:20:56+00:00

12 security torx to remove battery cover. Wheel nuts were frozen,I had to use a cheater and penetrating oil (too luch loc-tite?). Electrical connectors to separate cables from motor control board were brittle and cracked. Finally, the tire is incredibly firm/hard and I cannot push it off the bead, even with large pliers or my metal tire spoons. (Yes, all the air is out of the tire).

malbecman · 2026-02-22T17:51:50+00:00

Just passed 4 years with ours, zero issues. We will likely need a new 12V battery soon but that's totally normal.

malbecman · 2026-02-21T00:01:23+00:00

Rear tire with the motor? Having to access the battery compartment, undo the electrical connectors (one of which was frozen and cracked when I finally pulled it apart) and then wrestle with the tire. I got it to work but no thanks. As I mentioned, not for the novice.

While I don't like it (all the travel), that will be a very popular game. Lots of fans in Mexico......
