I have one that I have used extensively. That little bastard has saved me (and my aquariums) during many a power outage. One thing to watch out for is carbon build-up on the screen that clamps onto the exhaust, just make sure to clean it off regularly. Otherwise, these things are great machines!

General Chatter / Re: The death of internet forums?

I'm on a lot of forums for my various hobbies and they certainly have pulled back and some of them died. They still seem to be the best place to find information, but the amount of users and interactions is very low. FB and Reddit have their uses and are faster, and easier to buy and sell items, but they lack the focused content and expertise that you can usually get in forums.

It's like the RZ in Michigan here. Guy has it up for 15k non-running.

I'd give him like 6 -8 dep[ending on what I thought it needed. Doubt he'd take that price though.

Yes, but it's in "EXTREMELY nice condition," just needs a full rebuild LOL I feel like that has been on there for a loooong time.

Super cool bike. I bought a cheapie radiator that looks similar to that one for my RM85 mini and it is surprisingly well made.

So it's basically a scooter that looks like a Grom? Seems fine, but I'd rather have it in the normal step through frame for ease of use.

They have been keeping it updated on their Instagram page, said they are working on it and close to final engine/pipe design. Should be pretty awesome.

Wow that's pretty wild. All those tanks! Certainly many salvageable parts there.

I would order a bottom tap if the threads seem bad at the end. Use a lubricant and go slowly making small turns then backing off. Then flush the hole again and hit it with the air nozzle to clean it out. I think it's M6x1? Someone please correct if that's not right.

That's rather amazing. He needed Treatland.tv to kit that Tomos out before he left!

How many freakin Prox pistons have been put in RD's? I'm gonna guess hundreds on this forum alone, if not thousands, and a lot of them probably had .002 clearance. Totally fine.

This guy can can hear a tenth clearance from a video?!  :lol:
