You are spot on Du-Rron

Damn. That pisses me off. People just don't look, and / or don't give a Flip.... I'm glad you guys didn't get hurt worse, the bike can be repaired.

Kinda disappointed that of all places, Texas. They must want a chance to look deeper into other issues as well, not published. We can debate all day about if it's smart to ride with or without a helmet. Bottom line, helmets save lives. So does eating well, exercising well, not smoking, not drinking, and the list goes on and on. Is this the direction America really is heading. What's next, Popo get to frisk each of us for guns and check for permits, at their will. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/motorcycles/texas-bill-would-close-helmet-law-loophole/ar-BBTHIg5?ocid=spartandhp

Autozone rents those

I do like the look. I've been debating a trade in from my 05 Yukon XL. I need a vehicle to tow my Travel Trailer. I don't have a great need for a truck and bed, I have a 5x10 utility trailer when I need to carry more than the Yukon XL will hold. I'd like to see this hatchback concept on a SUV like my Yukon XL. What I really would like is a Ford Expedition, F250 package, modified like this, with a Diesel. Then I'd be very interested.

Congrats to you.

Might as well do rear shocks why you are at it, you'll be happy you did. Don't feel bad, I had crazy stupid knocking sound coming from my 05 YukonXL last week, would have swore a rod. Turned out a alternator. Never heard that kind of sound from an alternator. Of course, the expensive 160 amp. At least I wasn't on the ground.

And just to think, this thread started out 'Where can I get parts cheap' Glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like this

Just concerned... Do you know how heavy 5 gallon buckets of dirt get after 10 trips? VERY HEAVY Think about 40 trips. Make 40 trips without a bucket of dirt.... Break that in 1/2, do you know how heavy and strong your shoulder muscles and calves will be after carrying 80 buckets of dirt out of a basement I know you have some friends coming, make sure you have lots of beer and pizza. I still wish you would look into hiring a labor worker, tell them $2 per trip. pay them $50 and still be thankful you saved all that money doing it yourself.

Na, here in the States, the top level executives will sell off their stock, then announce decline, let stock plummet, let the American Gov't bail them out, buy stock at low end, make false claims to the American people, grow it, 5 years later, repeat. On a side note, I did hear or read the GM is considering taking over Tesla. Probably move them jobs south as well.

Skid could start pulling people over, give them a Warning Ticket, and a business card. Tell them their court date has been substituted for the vote date.

Great Ad, should have ended with Make Canada Great again!

That was a good looking scoot too. What were you thinking. I'm looking forward to riding again as well, stupid cold last week.

Just wondering, Do you need a Wall? :rotfl: Seriously, Good luck on your quest. I Googled it, seems to be a smaller community. Hope you are elected and keep / change for what the greater of the whole in the area want.

Always could take a piece of plastic over to the grinder, make a mess, and sweep it up. I just used some of this JB plastic glue on a cracked / broken front car plastic bumper (gotta love my college girl). Anyways, the stuff is awesome. I had a nasty fix, holding like a charm. https://www.amazon.com/J-B-Weld-8237-PlasticWeld-Plastic/dp/B003S2E4UE/ref=asc_df_B003S2E4UE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241975700326&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3934157096004971059&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016155&hvtargid=pla-526005054381&psc=1

I usually enter my part number and let Google find the answer.

Great idea:backinmyday: I changed to evening showers. Morning time saver AND, here in Indianapolis, Electric is by far the cheapest way to heat water, and I've even gotten used to electric heat pump heating. Lots of coal at our fingertips.

You could also bump the thermostat up, hotter water uses less of the hot when mixing with cold. I have 3 girls and a 80 gal electric heater, and still have it cranked up.

No disrespect, but even you question if you should be doing that much labor. If you trash your back, think of life going forward.. Maybe, at least, hire someone off Facebook or Craigslist, or whatever in your local area, to do that hard labor. Does not need to be at a Plumbers Rate, hire someone at local Labor Rate.

Great Pics. So jealous of the warm riding weather, but did like to see the snow

That's messed UP. substitute messed for (many adjectives)

I can't comment on that, but as one who had to clean out my dad's place without my dad, you could ask your kids to help start the process. Many things left behind from dad that I don't know the story behind. I pray for my children that I will not leave a mess that I had to process after my dad passed. OR, hire a local to take stuff slowly down from attic, sort through it, and give to kids as you hope for.

At least you work at a place with a great loaner program

I agree, and I would change your filters as well. Also, get online and complain to the Main site, Marathon, whoever. Might get a voucher

Great. Those are the best fixes, cheap
