I'm happy to say that none of my wrecks were my fault. Interstate was from a guy merging who didn't see me. 2 from grass in blind turns. 1 from a deer, 1 from a c turkey
I've still got a really nice leather buell jacket i need to sell
animals are probably my biggest concern here... lots of them, especially in the evenings. I do religiously wear high-vis vest (soon to be airbag vest), white full-face helmet, and full level-2 armor jacket and pants.. plus riding boots and gloves. Bike is bright red and has a really good lighting setup (two lowbeams, two highbeams, two running lights, and both amber lights always on)... two-channel ABS that works well. It does all add up. Getting high-vis gear was the best decision I've made
My hi vis helmet was the best I've ever bought
around here, 95% of riders are invisible and ride like pepegas. We're all shocked-pikachu when someone crashes at triple the speed limit. idk but we have to make an effort... relying on nothing going wrong isn't a good bet. Just my opinion.
The red bike above? This is all that's left due to the turkey. I obliterated that thing
heck of a turkey!
but the only thing that matters is that you come away in one piece
it do be like that tho
I remember that my 1980's rocky turned off the rear lights when the radio was on AM
Cursed toyota window
Come on, man!
I wonder how the window ended in that shape
the front of it has come off the fixture, tilting it down
ohh... Thats interesting. Where can i learn more abour thoss details since i am more into plane mechanics than cars
Can look up how power windows work... they aren't all the same, from what I understand. But in that photo, the pointy part of the glass is what would normally be in the top-right corner (when it's closed)
looks like the glass has come unattached
Thanks and yeah. It looks very silly but very cumbersome since you have a pointy and vulnerable glass rattleting around
Anyone here ever upgrade their batteries and electrical? I’ve thought about adding a battery for extended trips/over landing type stuff, but haven’t pulled the trigger
@wlightnin41 i took the alternator out of a 99 ram & installed it on my jeep for more power. Then a large converter from harbor freight. I can run a mini fridge or a TV & Xbox no issues
It's all about figuring out how much power draw you're going to have then making sure you can supply that
I've also got a 9k pound winch, 2 light bars, and a cb.
@TheMousez sweet, I would be installing it on an FJ cruiser.
Winch is probably next on the menu
Harbor freight mate
Yeah, harbor freight is normally cheaper than buying used even
With my 9k & a snatch block I pulled a xj up an embankment, with it flipped
Ah, a jeep from before they sucked
I've got a 97 zj & a 19 cherokee
So your like me. One new one old. I’ve got the fj cruiser and then the 87 Montero I posted before.
I've also got my z3 i restored
No fast car or motorcycle for me. Probably for the best.
It's not fast. Only a 1.9 liter
the fast thing is a bit of an illusion when there's speed limits. My car and bike might be "fast" but when I'm driving I'm still going the same speed as the 1991 Toyota Previa ahead of me
in fact this is the second-slowest bike I've had and it's the most fun yet
Automotive and mechanical engineers can suck my cock. Had to do an upper radiator hose replacement on our Buick, and the put the end that flows into the radiator around the frame and the air box, which has two parts to hold the pcm, for some reason. Basically you need to be a child to get to the clamp. I got it buck fuck.
