If you guys have seen Ewan McGregor and Charley Borman in Long Way Round (& Long Way Down), a documentary on their trip on bikes from Scotland to NY, they are doing another, Long Way Up (Bottom of S. America to Alaska) on modified Livewires. If you haven't seen these shows, even if you don't...

So how much damage am I doing if my bike is in an unheated shed and temps are regularly below freezing come winter?

I was looking into using reclaimed tesla car batteries sold on ebay to do something similar. Can't wait to see how this turns out. I did check out the hail test videos, and while impressive, you'll notice they placed their tile in a landscape orientation while the other tiles were placed in...

The only place (public) I'm aware of in the immediate area is the Mines and Meadows ATV park which does boast 8 miles of single track. Are there other places in the area that offer single track (private/outlaw)?

I will be moving to Cranberry Twp in the next 4-6 months, living in Altoona currently.

Well not in for a race, but I'm definitely interested in meeting up for some rides.

WOW!!! Very Sick! The cows seemed very unimpressed though. I'm curious about that ramp I saw in the foreground at 1:04 into the video.

I gave the extra ones away to teammates at our 24 hr Northeast race.

I hate to say it, but I'm weary of anything made in China. It may look good, but it always comes down to materials with Chinese products. I don't know how many times I've seen stainless steel advertised on Chinese stuff and it turns out to be plated crap. And usually poorly plated. But I'll...

"Climbility" ?

Very cool, thanks for the info!

So is this in your motovan? And how do you power the charger to recharge the battery?

I'm considering buying a salvaged Tesla battery to charge my Alta through an inverter. Assuming I get an inverter that can handle the 13-14A draw of the standard charger, does anyone see a reason that this can't be done? The tesla battery packs I see are 24VDC, so I would need a step down...

I've been holding off on buying a new one thinking that they were readily available. The mounting point for one of the screws completely snapped off. I just have it pinched between the LHRB and my turn signal switch housing. I was considering using a moldable, FRP product to rebuild it. Now...

I want to know how you keep it looking so clean, even during a race! Special teflon coating? I guess that California dirt is always dry, unfortunately we have super sticky black and red mud that just get's into everything.

I'm another purchaser post-shutdown, however I had the incredible luck of finding a bike that already had the battery replaced under warranty for a code. I will say it is probably a great idea to get the laptop cable/software so you can look at all the cells. I think this is something that...

In that case they would be less attractive. Hasn't it been that manufacturers are always looking for a way to change the design in order to make it attractive to those people not already buying their product? If it works, then they get new customers. If the design only brings in a few...

But if it is more attractive to those who have never bought or ridden a motorcycle then maybe some of them will and that only helps to generate more innovation and production to the market. I have a hard time picturing a jet ski that will have any kind of range or run time when powered by...

I will +1 the shinko 700's. I swapped these on my KLX to commute on when my Vic was down. They feel great on the road and so long as your not in heavy mud they work pretty well on the trails.

So that's one upside of installing a completely stand-alone lighting system.
