    Mountain bike riders?

    Traded in an older bike???? Can't say I've ever experienced that feeling. Can't be good. I'll just keep adding wall hangers in the garage. ;)

    @Bottom Bracket Love the Pivot! Have ridden a friends, they are great.

    @Mainah I agree with statements above especially the part about renting/demoing/trying as many out as possible. A lot of it is personal feel. Bikes that feels great to you feels off to me. Some of it is how the bike is setup. I have an Ibis Mojo 3 with 27.5wheels. Switching from 2.3 to 2.8...

    Thanks @2kwik4u that's pretty cool and a lot of info. Maybe too much, I might need a hard hat and a road map to figure all that out. I just wanted something to keep track of my distance and make sure my heart rate stays in check in the process. Figured a watch would be easier to deal with...

    @Julian I think it's just the camera angle but looks like a mini version of a road bike for some optical illusion reason. Yeah the electronic stuff is nice, hard to go back to mechanical shifting after you get used to barely touching the shifter buttons. @2kwik4u interested in hearing about...

    See if your area has a local NICA mtb team. They are always looking for bikes to help new riders out. One of the biggest obstacles to getting kids out on trails and riding is the cost of the bike. https://www.nationalmtb.org/nica-leagues/

    @2kwik4u few things. Glad you are ok. It's mtb'ing you are going to wreck. If you are wrecking every outing you are doing something wrong, once or twice a year at most for me. Most are minor, but it's going to happen. At least you got a witness to your funny shenanigans. Unlike road biking...

    Bargains What A Deal!!!! <Post up Bargains Here>

    I don't want to know what this forum has cost me over the years. I need to unwatch this particular thread for sure. Although I am looking forward to that 2bank charger coming this weekend. Have been meaning to pick one of these up for a while now.

    @I_squared_r look into MTBproject or trail forks and cross reference your planned route with the trails.

    Trailer lights

    DMM is Digital Multi Meter or at least I assume that's what you mean. I'm guessing if people don't know how to use a light tester then they have no clue what a DMM is or how to use that either. They have their place but a light tester is super simple. K.I.S.S. in full effect.

    Trailer lights

    The first 2 question we should always ask with any of these trailer wiring questions is: Do you have a light circuit tester? Do you know how to work it? I'm guessing in all cases the answer is no, otherwise they wouldn't be here asking. I keep one of these in my glove box. I bet I use it 5X...

    Running the blower

    Only time I ever flipped mine on was for 2secs after I took the cover off in the driveway, just a quick check to make sure the battery was switched on. And I lived to tell about it. :cool: Before the safety police arrest me I also checked the oil before every outing so having the engine bay...

    Dealer requires financing through Yamaha <also says NO CASH deals!!??>

    I know this is a jet boat forum, so I say this with no disrespect, but there are a lot of other nice 25ft boats you can get for that kind of money. They may not have jet propulsion but they can do the same thing you are likely trying to do. They likely have better dealer networks, better...

    Also because it takes a LOT of turns/rotations of the wheel to go make an outboard motor turn from center to full lock. Maybe 3-4? ..never really counted. I know coming from an AR210, which was maybe 1 rotation to lock, took some getting used to. So having the knob you can spin the motor...

    Those 3 batteries are completely seperate from the alternator. I have to run a cord out to plug those in to charge at the end of each day. Have 2 other batteries, 1 for starting, 1 for house stuff that get charged by alternator. I’ve never bothered charging those, just keep the switch to off...

    BOATS & BIKES

    I guess I’m one of those snooty BMW owners now. 2009 BMW F650GS. Only few thousand miles, looks brand new, not a scratch on it. Had road motorcycles in college and grad school, got rid of them once kid came....he’s got his permit now. Figured this a good bike to scratch that itch on nice days.

    Thanks for the compliments @FSH 210 Sport My estimation of 4000 hours said 1/2 sarcastically as no real clue. Although there has been a lot of days where we fished 8 hours and maybe put 30mins on the gas motor, rest all trolling. Even when just chilling somewhere I often put use the trolling...

    Always happy to provide boat pics @FSH 210 Sport Us center console guys who like to fish have to watch each others backs with these bowriding wakesurfers lurking about. :winkingthumbsup" I have a 2020 246 Cayman with a 300hp Yamaha with Digital controls. It's a fishing boat that has enough...

    Look at the data you presented, not the headline they want you to see. That data you presented now shows me the 18% I use is WAY too high, it really is about 2% at most when I'm optimally cruising at 4500rpm. So now with my boat getting 3mpg, a 2% increase is 3.06mpg. At $3.80/gallon I would...
