Which has absolutely nothing to do with a tiny electric trials bike. Off-road riding is a completely different animal to street riding. Motorcycles are as safe as you make them, and good riding can make up for all the inattentive idiots like you on the road.

My friend’s father has a cabin out there, specifically to unplug. He didn’t even install a phone line. He did this so that his work would only contact him if it was important enough to drive out to get him. It’s worked out pretty well so far.

I saw one about a month ago in Costa Mesa. It was very exciting, for literally just me.

They didn’t even spring for gold? WTF?

It’s because of stories like this, or because the last time I took my car to a place for an oil change (the dealer, 30,000 miles ago) it took 4 hours on my day off and cost twice as much as doing it myself.

They had a crazy stripped down version of this car. No one bought it, so they stopped selling it.

I like to throw in a packet or two of powdered Gelatin. It adds a richness and meatiness that holds up really well even if the rest of the meatloaf gets a little overcooked.

Oh good, it’s not ruined. All is again right with the world.

The fact that the M5 picture is from Stanceworks makes me sad, because I have a bad feeling that the suspension of that car has been ruined.

For most forming operations you’d want a temperature of around 1700+F. At our Hot Mill (the sort of place that uses rolls like those in the video) we superheat to around 2400F to allow for cooling during the processing time and to hit certain temperature targets. You want to make sure your steel is Austenitic so that…

My chromebook is running two of these mods right now.

A $10 battery changed my one year old S5 from a brick of useless crap back into a functional phone. It was a gigantic difference.

Not a bad approach in my book.

The thing is, anyone can befriend someone. In this case that someone just happened to be a Mercedes Master Tech, and he just happened to think that the project was cool enough to donate his time and considerable experience to the cause. You could go out and do this tomorrow by going to some car event and chatting…

I love nice concise exploded component drawings like this. They make it so easy to troubleshoot, and see how everything goes together. The pedal assembly in particular shows how a nice layout can simplify a complex assembly with a lot of small parts. I’ve found that a parts fiche is frequently just as useful as a…

That sounds like my sales team. That actually sounds like every sales team I’ve ever met. Promise first to get the sale, then figure out if you can do it after the contracts are all signed.

Life goals right there.

Is that wolf wearing a three wolf moon t-shirt? That is AMAZING!

These look like Panasports. Excellent smaller wheel choice.

Fuchs!
