    Any vintage car guys here?

    if the belt snaps, not only does the generator stop charging the battery, but the fan stops spinning and the heat death of the little engine’s universe begins. battery trays rust out, or worse, the battery shorts out on the seat base in the back seat pushrod tubes get leaky and drip oil onto...

    Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

    Been using ChatGPT since the first iteration, and while it’s gotten better, it’s still fairly one-dimensional and only as useful as the prompts you provide it. The newest iteration is supposed to be better with quantitative work, but I’ve found that it’s still forgetful and makes repetitive...

    Any vintage car guys here?

    1964 chevrolet c/10 farm truck - grandpa bought it new in TX, and I’m the 2nd owner. lots of work and money into it, and it still looks almost exactly the same as it did back then - just lower, louder, faster, and smoother. 450hp crate 383, tri-y headers, 700R4 trans, posi rear, power disc...

    Electric Vehicles, Hybrids...Battery tech... Land Air and Sea. Let's See 'em.

    almost all cars depreciate rapidly and somewhat predictably. the porsche taycan wasn’t designed after a perennial classic like the 911, so it was bound to do the same. these youtubers need a dose of reality and should probably step outside their content bubble every once in a while. this is...

    Sold / Found / Inactive - Single Outlet breather

    TBH the rocker covers really should be matched to the head, so the biggest value in that purchase would be the single outlet breather. I have purchased several of these covers just for the breathers, and tossed the covers in the bin or used them for frame / tank mockups.

    XS650 Craigslist postings depository

    Some claimed Shell Thuet provenance here, though I am skeptical. Maybe Shell built the motor back in the day perhaps. It reads to me more like a stock XS with a painted motor and some Omar's parts. Is this one of you...

    pro tips -- use JST-JWPF connectors with the small gauge wires used for the motogadget bits like switches and signals. they're very low profile so if you run micro switches on your bars, you can still do all your connections inside the bars - especially when running the m-button for the bus...

    VIDEO -- of my Aprilia hydraulic clutch mod

    The system should take up the 'slack' created by plate wear the same way a hydraulic brake does when the pads wear. You may need to add a bit more fluid as the slave cylinder has to move toward centerline to compensate, but it should be self-correcting in terms of spacing.

    FedEx

    I love FedEx. In my experience, so much of this depends on your local driver and/or local FedEx brick and mortar. Ours are great, things typically beat the shipping estimates. Only issue I've ever had with them was someone sending me a set of cases and not packing them well - they didn't make it...
