    Who rides motorcycles?

    I got to work this morning, and parked next to a very pretty Steve McQueen (Limited Edition) 1200XE. Mine is on the left, the Steve McQueen edition is on the right. Mine is dirty... the other is very shiny!

    Who rides motorcycles?

    So, my ‘22 XE got the heavy springs for the rear Ohlins shocks (upper rear springs) from TEC Bikes USA, and I set up my suspension. I went full clockwise on Compression and Rebound on the Ohlins…. Then came counter clockwise 8 clicks on both. I set my preload at 8mm (I’m 255 with gear) and my...

    Who rides motorcycles?

    Got rid of the OEM Pogo Sticks that were on my wife's '22 Triumph Street Scrambler (900). Even though she's tiny, it was WAY under sprung, and had very shoddy damping. I ordered the Fox remote reservoir shocks that Triumph brands, and added them. Now I could set the preload for her, and tune...

    Dogs.

    Long Read, but worth it... We have two boys... both registered GSD's... Koda and Mako. They are both deep in their 8th year of life...and both FULL of life. They are SUPER well trained... and very socialized. We live on a nice 20 acres of natural hardwoods, and they love it. Mako is the...

    Daughter nearly choked to death.

    When our youngest daughter was about eight, I believe... I was picking her up from school, just me, she sat in the back seat of my truck... on the way home she asks, out of the blue... "What is a Blow J(middle letter left out)b?" I was in the middle of taking a swig from my coffee cup, and...

    Who still drives a stick in 2025?

    Avid Jeeper here. I've had so many in my day... all have been two doors, and manual transmission. My current Jeep is a 2022 Rubicon... two door, manual 6 speed transmission.

    Value of an older Ford tractor

    Unfortunately, I can't use it. I have a workhorse tractor. However, this would be a nice addition, wouldn't take much to "restore".

    Value of an older Ford tractor

    I think he's only asking $8k for both... again, not my tractor and I humbly appreciate your input. I will pass it along to him. I'm going over to his house this weekend, and will inspect it myself. I know that he has kept the oil changed regularly, and if he says it runs perfectly, I believe...

    Value of an older Ford tractor

    Here are the pictures he provided to me. I work with him daily, and he's a very nice guy. I have not seen the tractor, but what he told me is this... "I bought the tractor and rotary cutter three years go to mow this spot of my property. There is nothing wrong with the tractor at all. Runs...

    Value of an older Ford tractor

    Howdy all: I have a co-worker who is looking to sell his 1984 Ford 2910 that comes with a 6' rotary cutter. I don't know if it's allowed here, but can I post some pictures of it, give details, and have you all assist in a ballpark value? If not allowed, let me know and I will delete. Not...

    I'm about to pick up a KLX300R for some singletrack hooliganism.

    Dog pics

    My velcro doggo Koda... I call him "Koda-Bear"... he's always with me, never more than a few feet away from me unless I give him the "free" command. He is as good on lead, as he is off lead. I take him everywhere with me... definitely my "soul dog". He's deep into his 8th year... I try to make...
