My desktop computer is almost as old as some peoples motorcycles. I have upgraded it a bit over the years with one SSD and also swapped in a second drive I salvaged out of one of the wife's old laptops. Did that just to see if it would work and give me a second drive to save copies of files of...

Well almost motorcycle related as in the summer the motorcycle uses the driveway the snow blower clears in the winter. I just have an idea someone here may know where I could find this. What I need is a strip of spring steel 0.310 inches wide and 0.060 inches thick. Looking for at least two...

Below is a link I have seen a few times on FarceBook, yea I go there mostly to see what relatives are up to and if I don't click on "LIKE" for something grandson did I'd be in deep do-do! Just wondering if anyone has given these or similar ones a try, also if yes, any suggestions on safest...

This morning it's finally figuring out something that was keeping me awake in the middle of the night! I have to sleep or at least try to sleep with a Bi pap machine. Once in awhile, especially in humid weather, it will get condensation in the hose that causes a dripping/clicking like sound. I...

Have an old automobile book, "Audels Answers" from 1913 and there is a chapter on motorcycles. I think if I did it right you can view those pages with this link to Drop Box: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sfyr534ltbcuqdt/AADOWISCTr90XADlcF8ulIpya?dl=0

Trying to find out what these might be for a guy was offered the set for $150.00 General consensus over on heavy equipment forum is thinking aerospace or some such thing. Maybe Jim would know?

Last fall finally had the ambition and the weather to go for a nice ride around a local lake, tebo would probably know the lake, Skaneateles. I was on the Harley Sportster/Sidecar outfit wife on her GTV300 Vespa. As I slowed down to make the right off Route 41 on to Route 41A bike skipped and...

Actually not sure if the problem is with the forum or something at my end. Often, but not always, when I am finished reading a thread and click on the next on or a second page in a thread I get a circling arrow like it id loading the page but it stays there for a long time. However if I click...

Have question on the left side engine cover, the one that covers the alternator and has the adjuster for the clutch. Another member is looking for one for a 1971. I thought I had one off a 1972 but when I went to look all the ones I have are on the same shelf so I have no idea if one of them is...

On May 25, 2021 I ordered a pair of 6204-2RS ball bearings from a bearing house in Medley FL. For anyone not familiar with ball bearing sizes they are about the size of an Oreo Double Stuff cookie! I started tracking them on the 26th of May when Post Office showed they had possession of the...

Not sure if the "limited quantities" are still available as this offer is close to two weeks old but might be worth a try:

It does say other makes and models up there near top of page so I guess a Sportster counts, but not for some of the "Real Harley Groups". Well don't recall if I wrote before about the problem I had on our last ride in the fall. Well the short story is had a mess of trans oil down the side of...

Needed to replace some parts for a somewhat off brand gas grill and after spending some time on Google and Amazon I found some parts that I think will work so I ordered them. Then as will happen Amazon sent me one of those "Gee! you bought those parts so we think you might needed these things...

Thought someone here might have some suggestions. I'm looking for an easy to learn program that can be used to draw up things like say some cabinets or work bench. Fifty years ago I took a couple courses in drawing at the local community college but even the guys building moon landers hardly...

Not sure if this would be of use but just putting it out there for thoughts. It's from a Chainsaw forum but I'm thinking a Condenser is a Condenser. Looks easy enough to build even if I don't speak fluent Electronics. Maybe someone who does could give some added input as to if it would be...

I know there are people on this site with a wide range of skills and real jobs so I thought that I would run this by the collective. About a dozen years ago we had an addition put on the house that included a bathroom for master bedroom. I could write a book on the problems that those SOB's...

Anyone in Central NY who might be looking for something to do next weekend? Unfortunately I probably won't be going this year but has been a good event in the past. Basically they just let people bring bikes into the museum and display them right along with all the normal displays. For...

Could not easy find a place for this so thought I'd start one. If it is not acceptable fee free to delete and slap the back of my hand! Cell phones. Not for the reasons most here probably think of when that is brought up in a "What's pissing you off" thread. Tonight wife and I decided to do...

I'm sure some one will jump on this one the second I post it! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1032385643819671/ Such a cream puff and the artful way it is posed will surely grab your attention and wallet! Not to metion it has the rare and hard to find "automatic transmission"!

Was wasting some time on FaceBook Market place and found this: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2327570943986691/ Thought it would be a good find for Mailman, just needs a little buffing! Price is very reasonable too! If nothing else he could display it as the "before" to his "after"!
