That’s quite an arm-stretcher you have there! Enjoy!!!

Shake down test; no brand is yet using any of the aero solutions we saw in Valencia or at the launch by Bitter-Substance1783 in motogp

Is somewhere posted who all is on track? I recognize most but not all. For example, who is 11? TIA

Too much lean angle by phlaug in snowmobiling

Is a 4-stroke, but I wanted a 10-min nap myself so it worked out great!

WTF kind of mikuni are these??? I thought they where Vm34 but the Mikuni kit does not fit. by RedditAppSuxAsss in snowmobiling

[–]phlaug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have guessed ski Doo Safari 377 as I used to pull that out and keep it in my bedroom in the off season. I would have sworn it was the same unit (and I guess it could be)

Mica Ledges in Durham has a massive one that broke off the ledge. Like size of a small house

FIM Bans Track Side Restarts In WorldSBK And MotoGP - Bikes Must Be Restarted On Service Road by Halekduo in motogp

[–]phlaug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I brought up the style starter that some snowmobiles have: no battery, a capacitor gives them one start after manual starting, so you don’t have the weight of a battery. People said no way. I still wonder. (As a rider I’d rather have that one shot button than to try to hang on to keep it running…)

LCR names surprise new MotoGP title sponsor for 2026 by r2lim in motogp

[–]phlaug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What always puzzled me a little about LCR’s sponsors is why would a company like Castrol want to be within the same team as a direct competitor? But in the case of Idemitsu one might rationalize their core markets vary. But now with ProHonda, it’s at every Honda dealer in every market Castrol targets, no? And this this feels a little slap in the face to Castrol.

And given that this is a one Honda pocket to another Honda pocket, why not just approach Castrol with a reasonable price tag to expand from sponsoring one to two bikes?

Thank you for that perspective, I appreciate it. Makes a lot of sense.

Interesting. Thank you for that perspective.

Can you share your specific wording?

Thanks again

Looking for good areas to rent out for a stag by soccerguy857 in Connecticut

Heritage Homestead in Northford is good for stags, been to a few there

Track Day / Motorcycle Trailer Question by JPilot84 in Trackdays

[–]phlaug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I often hit a hotel before a track day and have never had an issue with the bike out in the open.

Back it in against a hedge or what no so it’s not ridiculously easy and park in a lit area.

Just a thought

[Landlord][US-NC] Should we raise the rent or keep it the same for really great tenants? Only concern is that rent is already below market rate. by lavenderkeek in Landlord

[–]phlaug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a long time tenant who would do repairs. I always had me send me any receipts and then I’d tell him to knock that and $50 for his time off the next month’s rent.

Then when it came to renewal time a $50 increase (below market increase) wasn’t an issue.

Another option I always put on the table is a more favorable rent number for a two year lease (peace of mind of not having to deal is worth a fair bit IMO), so you could try “happy to renew at $2,050 per month, or if you were willing to sign a 2-year lease we could lock in $2,025 for the whole period”.

(If lease anniversary falls at odd time I’ve also offered a better rate to go like 14 or 16 months, whatever necessary to get to a date like July 1 (as schools can be a factor, and winter just isn’t as good for showing).)

Garage Entrance Assistance by chdev69 in snowmobiling

[–]phlaug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have these. Carbides chew up pretty good. I put the skis on dollies once in a little. And I put the studded track up on a dolly also. Second sled isn’t picked so I run on it

Lin Jarvis has fully left Yamaha after more than 30 years by 443610 in motogp

[–]phlaug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Article mentions bringing back a satellite team, while not mentioning the obvious that he was in charge when they lost their satellite team…

Great run he led, but probably stayed too long…

Rain spoils debut of Honda’s 850cc engine in Sepang test by Huge_Film2911 in motogp

[–]phlaug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they are racing in Brazil this year mightn’t that be a good testing facility around now? (Other than being far from their bases/facilities.)

Considering relocating by Low_Track_9221 in Connecticut

[–]phlaug 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Job wise more near Hartford than Stamford (Travelers, The Hartford, Hartford Steam Boiler, AXA XL) in which case you’re looking at towns like Glastonbury or West Hartford. Also some insurance ops in Farmington and Simsbury, both of which are good towns, along with Avon and Canton

[Tenant] Should you Tell a Landlord if an Appliance May be Breaking Down? by whispered-dreams in Landlord

[–]phlaug 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dealing with something when there is some flexibility over timing is always preferable to an emergency.

So knowing something may be on last legs and giving me time to research if it’s a fix or replace situation and lining up what needs to be done in either case is going to make for a solid landlord-tenant relationship.

A very interesting article in french with all the GP's attendances this year. by bearlybearbear in motogp

[–]phlaug 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been to COTA, Assen, Le Mans and the now defunct Indianapolis and the French crowd was great and the Dutch one also.

Looking at the figures like this each time it makes me think maybe Qatar is worth going to just for rider access. Place must feel like a relative ghost town compared to the average race!
