    eBike with best reliability and repairable.

    Reliability never entered the conversation with any of these design teams it would appear. Every motor has at least one of the following issues, some many. Carbon loaded industrial timing belts that are too narrow, their pitch too small, with no dynamic tensioner, loaded with carbon powder in...

    How many bikes is too many ?

    Peak was 16 I think. For just me, no one else in the family rides. Down to 6 now. Unassembled frames and parts don’t count, that’s my defence and I’m sticking to it. Drugs, gambling and many other vices are far more damaging…….but likely cheaper. Having a variety of bikes is really...

    Little Things You Hate

    Early 2000’s a mate was digging a post hole, hits what he thinks is a tree root with the fencing bar, again gas line is far from where it should be. “Why the fuck is the tree root hissing” was his first thought. Plumber on a Sunday charged 600 bucks labour to rock up, fold over the gas line...

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    I’m on the same page as you. Fully automated self driving, or the human is 100% responsible, this half way house is bullshit, as you say it enables terrible behaviour.

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    As bad as ZB Commodores(2020 Opel)? I was driving a hire car on a straight road in Tassie with a gravel shoulder at night, going the back way to Burnie, lane assist fucked up and I almost ended up with all 4 wheels on the gravel shoulder at 80-90km/h while the cluster was going fucking mental...

    Project Car / Motorbike thread. Let's see 'em.

    I see your 70 series and raise you with a Holden Rodeo RA series 2003-2008 which is actually an Isuzu, with desert dueler tyres about the same vintage as Dales trailer’s. Unloaded the weight distribution is bad, the 3.6 is very eager and traction control/stability was all but a wet dream for...

    What might have been......

    So many positive and negative memories come flooding forward reading all these stories. I’ve way too many fucked up ones I’m never sharing. I have learnt the really hard way it’s better to regret something you have done then something you haven’t done. It’s taken me 90 mins to write this...

    You laugh you lose

    I helped a mate buy a 2012 Iveco Daily recently for his PA hire business. Fucking huge things. Our other mate, who drives the van sometimes to help out, knows exactly what to do once the bonnet gets dirty enough.

    Snakes

    While they are known to eat other snakes including browns, this is what the experts say: A positive and widespread piece of folk wisdom about red-bellied black snakes is that they eat the more dangerous eastern brown snakes (Pseudonaja textilis), and thus if red-bellied black snakes are...

    Higher then expected warranty costs could easily explain the price rise when you factor in everyone on the way through to the retailer is obtaining more margin.

    Metal Working! Fitting, Machining, Welding, Sheet and General Metal Fab

    Now now, no judgement around here. I’m sure life still has meaning and purpose. Or so they tell me. The IFP, internal floating piston, is the most popular method to seperate the gas from the oil in a damper. The oil needs to be pressurised so it doesn’t cavitation during fast strokes, sit back...

    Burners' Backyards: Veggies, Gardening, Landscape & Design

    Same. I also get some narrator quite loudly saying “Don’t fraternise with the ground staff darling” in a 1920s voice, if I step out of line.

    The last movie you've last watched last

    Next you’ll be saying “the matrix revolutions” was good. True detective only shot one season, the sooner everyone learns to accept this fact, the sooner life can return to normal
