So lil life update before we start is Escapade. I no longer have the shop, new owner put it under in a matter of 2 months, and now I'm no longer blessed by 12yrs of savings. So now I'm stuck teaching 15-17yo kids to learn how to adult (Automotive Collision Repair) at the very school I went to...

So after 7 months of just sitting on the lift and doing nothing the bike is finally done! Both are actually. The Wing is the centerpiece of the downsized collection. Been on the road for a week and already has 2400mi on it this year. The Shadow has turned into a lawn ornament after the clutch...

I GOT THE SHADOW OUT TODAY! 49* but IDGAF. First official ride it's been on since I've owned it for the past 3 years. But had to break out the Mothers and therma-blanket soon after. Over all it's a quick bike but gets pretty sketchy up past 80mph.

So the age old topic presents itself again: Carb cleaner or Brake Parts Cleaner as the all around ultimate shop neat freak's best friend? My vote goes towards Brake Parts Cleaner since in satisfies my inner Jew and it usually has 3 fl oz. more per can. Yes it smells a lot worse but it doesn't...

Did some more digging. This is gotta be the simplest harness I've seen on a modern car.

If I rewire a pre-computer vehicle I ALWAYS make my own harness. That way I know what wire goes where and if I wanna modify light functions (dual-stage turn signals) I can do it without hacking the wiring. Painless says you can do it in a weekend, I can cut, assemble, loom, plug in, and start...

Local dealers won't touch this due to age/liability. They won't touch anything older than 2005 due to the VATS system on the GM vehicle since they have to reprogram the security module. Tried having a dealer put in a system for my '97 BurbonBurban and they refused.

Samuel L Jackson: "Great vengeance and furious anger" are good motivational tools. Chris Pratt: You can be an ******* and still help people. Mark Strong: His voice says it all. Robin Williams: Legal Insanity can lead to wondrous things but can hide even more. H.B. Halicki: You can turn something...

I BLEEP you not they could be twins. Also found out that Code Alarm was out of production in the early 2000s so this unit is ANCIENT! Probably some Mardens (local salvage sale store chain. They currently have CCTV cameras from the 1970s) $15 setup he has a stock of. '05 Escape is 4 harnesses...

Back when I was young and more intellectually declined I'd ride Rain, Shine, Snow or Sleet but reflexes are falling and my bikes are getting heavier. I'd go darkside on the Wing but the upper fender skirt wouldn't clear anything with a decent enough tread to stick.

I hate you. Been having the 2 wheel feels for 4 months. Tomorrow's gonna be 72 then back in the 40s. I MAY sneak a ride or two depending on how bad sand and bumps are.

They took their time to align (or try to) 9 splice clamps cuz they kept breaking the wires when they were pulling on things. 9 to connect about 5" of a single wire together. I found the nest, now I need to find the rat and exterminate.

'05 Escape for towing purposes $2200 in 2017 '98 LeSabre for cruising purposes $250 in 2011 '92 Dakota for Off Road/Showboating purposes $600 in 2015 '94 GL1500 SE Touring + '85 VT500C Shadow for Summer Use $2300 + $??? in 2016

This is a perfect example of why you don't hire some crazy dude working from his driveway to install a $260 remote starter. I had this car for 8 years. When health got to the point I don't do cold too well I decided to get a car starter for it. It's been questionable until yesterday when it died...

I just want something that doesn't require charging every 15 min since the batteries in mine are non serviceable and after 6 years of use they're getting pretty crappy. Also the fact there's a lot more flex making it easier for inspection in out of reach places. Worse comes to worse I can just...

I could see that on a old Late 60s GM or Ford truck. Even more so an old Bronco or K5 as a turtleback. Either way pretty sweet.

Has anyone used the scopes that attach to a smart phone or tablet? I've always used either a Bosch or SnapOn handhelds and very recently I've gotten into the new era of old tools. My only main concern is OS Ver compatibility and if the app is a legit one that won't cause issues. So far this is...

Be very wary of them rogue rolling shopping carts. You might end up like Pete... Rutt: Hey, You hear about Pete? Adam: Yeah. What happened to him? Rutt: Uhhh... A shopping cart rolled into his Pinto and it blew up. Adam: Well... that sucks.

It's a full stamped vinyl cover. I'd make my own but I really don't wanna spend over $50 for materials. 3yd of Vinyl is $21.99 and foam core is over $20 for a single 12x18x4" pad. $15 for a 12x12x2". So I'd rather have something original to the model.
