The video is from Metropolis . A very powerful movie itself. you need to watch. 1984 came by and was never addressed. IDK if 2525 is gonna be much different

Whew , I really don't know where this EV stuff is going ? And the idea you are going 100% EV ? I am not sure about this.

I wish I knew for sure but people are stupid so I am not sure . It was in a clip News of the Weird by Chuck Grizzard

Since the conversation has gotten lighter........... there was an article (back in the 70s) about this guy that bought a "conversion" van w/all the accessories , options , etc. After pulling out on the interstate he turned on the cruise control , got up and went back to the mini bar to fix a drink . The rest up to the reader's imagination !

It should not be difficult to decide "who" is in charge of driving/operating the vehicle .

Excellent video

I am speechless. It is getting more deadly every year.

Unless it has changed , there is a large fuel distributor in Paducah and when a tanker fills up , they use a "credit card" to swipe and get the additives mixed in when the fuel is filling the tanker. Shell , BP . Exxon , etc. comes from the same terminal . These cheap gas pumps at convenience stores have ZERO additives to their fuels. This is where mileage becomes a factor. AFA , water in the tanks , truckers delivering the fuel should be sticking the tanks before and after w/this paste applied to the end of a long wooden stick to check for water . There E85 fuel pumps over in Mo. and they sell a lot of fuel. Whew , talk about poor MPG !

I just realized , my V-strom is a counterfeit Stelvio

10cc of fluid leaving the master cylinder will be 10cc of fluid added to the volume of the slave cylinder. Now as far as the leverage portion goes it depends upon the size of the slave cylinder vis-a-vis master cylinder bores. The hydraulic jack proves this point.

The volume of fluid "pushed" by the master cylinder has to go somewhere , so it goes into the slave cylinder . Leverage works in this system but it has nothing to do with the volume of fluid moved.

My memory fails me but , I never heard of the Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac until right around the first round of Covid 19 . I was in one of my favorited haunts in Cape Girardeau at CD Warehouse and a Fleetwood Mac CD was playing . I asked the salesman some ?s , he pulled the CD out of the player , I bought it and things were never the same !

#1 verify the throttle kicker is fully closed. #2 look at all the throttle linkages and be certain there is no binding anywhere and be sure throttle plates are snapping shut when you are releasing the throttle

@thelonewonderer Can you explain the first sentence a little better ? It will benefit the people that took time to help you .

To XX and many more !

I'm nosey , what brand spark plugs & wires did you use ?

Well Fri. night when I got home from work , I put the chargr on the black frame , got up Saturday morning and pushed it out of the shop , then over to the water hose . Washed off two years of dust and then cranked for about 45 seconds before it started. Cleaned it up pretty good and decided to go down the road . OMG , this bike had head shake immediately off idle . I thought the steering head had rusted in place . After about 30 nins of inspection I realized the front tire belts had broken down . The best test method is to out on a brown Jersey glove and lightly rub the tire surface . This glove amplifies the problems and you can feel any imperfections with the tire problem(s) . New tire on order and will be here Friday ! Just in time gor the weather to dtop into the 30s ! FWIW , it has been two years .

After hearing this way too much when I was a kid , I now limit myself to once every FIVE years . I don't need to tell you how fast 6 minutes is when your are having a catharsis ! I have trouble understanding perfection until I listen / feel music like this . I don't have to tell you this is best heard at full throttle .

BMW has too many nutty professors on their staff , These guys are going berserk w/too much technology on their cars and bikes.

Mmmmm. to the best of my knowledge , the original large roller bearing is the problem and the upgraded bearing has more rollers and is supposed to be "the cure" .

EVERY one of you that is gonna attend , ride my anus unmercifully for 3 mos. before this event and the burkesville rallye to assure my attendance .

Being on that reminds me of the time I tried to stand on a high chair (YES a high chair) to change a ceiling light bulb . It did NOT end well . A buddy of mine had a GS for one summer and your description is a good one ! BTW: if you haven't changed the plastic fuel line quick disconnect , do it NOW before you get a lower leg / boot full of gasoline !

Same here !

You don't know how true this statement is ! This concerns anything with wheels & a powerplant.
