Lowndes Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sorry, I've gotta hijack Richard's used KLIM thread for a minute. While in Cedar Key over the weekend a lady walking her dog said, "I ride a motorcycle, too." After a bit of conversation, it was her late husband's, purchased new in '80 from Cycle Specialties of Athens, GA, has not run in 10 +/- years, stored inside, looks kinda rough 'round the edges but not as bad as the old Triumph behind it. She said no one in her family was interested but she wanted to get rid if it. I thought about it for a while but just can't do it. Anyone interested?? "Just passing on the deal". 4 Link to comment

Scott9999 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I cannot believe that someone just donated 'em to Goodwill. Good for the charity, though. I'm assuming that they're going to sell for a whole lot more than $23.00. Heck, at that price, it almost makes sense to BUY a GS just to use with the cases. (I dunno, for a moment, it seemed like an argument that might make sense to my wife, IF I can ply her with Margaritas first. 🤣) Link to comment

Fortunately it was only carrying soda for the office fridge, but still no fun. I did manage to find it after work (latch still locked, so not sure what made it come off), but I think it may be due for replacement. If any of you all are thinking of bidding, maybe shoot me pm so we aren't bidding against each other - and if anyone just needs a RIGHT case, we could make such deal ;) 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Looks like it survived the tumble pretty well. I’d like to have them but would need the racks also so no competitive bidding here, good luck with your bid! Watch out for the last second sniper! 1 Link to comment

It kinda works out, since she just looks and never (well, rarely) buys, and she gets the female shopping bug out of her system before she goes to the REAL $tores. 🤣 I haven't considered looking at online thrift stores, though.

Scott9999 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Someone posted this tip on the BMWLT.COM site - Zumo XT for $400! (Eight left in stock as of this writing) Garmin Zumo XT, All-Terrain Motorcycle GPS Navigation, 5.5-in Ultrabright and Rain-Resistant Display with Wearable4U Power Pack Bundle I paid that price last November (black Friday sale), without the Wearable4U thingy, whatever that is. But for Wethead RT owners, this GPS plus the E-nav XT RT mount plate is about as close to OEM/NAV6 as one can get, for about $500 (i.e. I think the E-nav plate ran about $100 with shipping from Italy and Euro-to-USD conversions). The Zumo snaps in and out of the BMW caddy, and powers up, just like the NAV6, but you lose the wonderwheel GPS functions. Link to comment

Scott9999 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I don't know anything about this company, or the quality of their products, other than I'm pretty sure I know which country they were made in. 🙄 I was looking for something to use to get 40' up the side of my house safely , and came across a set of baker scaffolding, including outriggers, railing, everything one would need to go .... well, only 18', but hey, for $650, it was a smokin' hot deal. So, I also found motorcycle lifts (800 lbs & 1000lbs), and a portable canopy, for some decent prices (assuming they don't nick the heck out of you on shipping).

The 800 lb lift is under $200, and should work for my Beemer, uhhh, assuming I never climb on board while the bike's on it too. Link to comment

Better Business Bureau describes them as an "Online Retailer in Long Beach, CA.", but the web site does not let you order online? Their Ebay satisfaction rating is 90% which is really a little low when most Ebay retailers aim for 99+%. Reviews on Ebay and Yelp suggest that shipping and returns may be a problem. Still, it might be interesting to get a shipping quote. I have the HF 1000# lift, I would not be comfortable using an 800# lift for my RT. The HF lift is available for $500 pretty often, watch here for coupons: https://www.harborfreight.com/coupons 1 Link to comment

Scott9999 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Well, this is only indirectly motorcycle related (i.e., if you get your yard work done quicker, then you get to ride that much quicker 🤣🤣). I just picked up this 20 AMP, battery operated Craftsman combo blower/edger for $89.00 at Lowes ($99.00, less military/first responder's 10% discount). The advertisement indicates that the blower is 200 CFM, but the box says it's the larger model (and it appears to be, too), 340 CFM. The edger is a one string job, pretty minimal with cutting and probably power, but the price is right. I've been looking for a battery operated blower for a while now, and these things are always $250-$300 at Costco (probably better quality), and I can't justify that for the little bit of driveway and walkway I have. $89.00?? Hey, I can sneak that by the wife and she'll think it's for trash bags or something. 🙃😁 CRAFTSMAN 20-volt Max 200-CFM 90-MPH Handheld Cordless Electric Leaf Blower 2 Ah (Battery & Charger Included) 1 Link to comment

Skywagon Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I have Stihl 180. Great time saw.

Have had really good luck with their leaf blower, weed eater, and my Son has their mower. That saw will buck 16" tree trunks right along side of my 18" gas saw. Won't do a whole tree on one battery, but you could have spares of those. You are ready to quit when it runs out and stack/haul the wood anyway while you charge the battery. Perfect for knocking down limbs. Even more "perfecter" for light trimming around the place where it would take longer to fuel/oil and get the gas saw started! 1 Link to comment
