Man that's a pile of wires! It amazes me how some folks hook up electrical stuff so badly! Grounds and shorts waiting to happen.
What really gets me is how little extra effort it actually takes to do a nice job
House is looking good Jed!
Both front tires on the skid steer wouldn't hold air for more than a day (beads are chewed up), so said screw that, can't go flat if there is no air

Those airless wheels are starting to be tested and used more for car applications too. F1 has been doing alot of testing with them.

Brought home a new ride after selling the Beta not long ago. 22 YZ250FX.
First order of business, no more Rekluse. I loved them when I first started out riding but now I prefer a manual clutch. I'll be selling it if anybody is interested.
Now that that is sorted, just spent today going over the bike. Needs a few things like a spark arrestor, new grips, and some guards, but overall in good shape. Also need graphics as I can't stand a naked bike.

The TW has so much power I need to strap weights to the front rack to help keep the front end on the ground.

I have a trip or two this coming year where I think it will be useful.
One trip may involve a passenger and just a spot to strap down walking shoes/raincoats/extra layer etc…

What a nice day Saturday was in the Mid Atlantic! Perfect temps, sunny and no humidity! Went down to my buds house and we threw the Vette on the QJ's and I finished the projects I didn't get too last fall. Installed my Borla X-pipe, front and rear Z06 sways with new bushings, replaced the drivers side rear fender well liner as mine had a piece broken off on the bottom and added a new set of MSD 8.5mm spark plug wires w/carbon fiber heat sleeves. Sure can tell a difference in the upgraded sway bars and when you compare the stock ones to the Z ones, the size and weight difference between the two sets is alot! I mean the car felt good before, but it really is like a 500hp go kart now in the corners. Good stuff!
I was also pretty amazed at how good my stock exhaust looks after 22 years-this car was taken care of all of it's life. Every time I climb under her, I am amazed at how clean she is and zero corrosion. Then I took my buddy to lunch and we finished off the day with a few cold ones! What a great Saturday! Wrenching on the Vette with a friend and just having fun-
