I'm definitely gonna have to get use to having a larger car. That being said this one has 4.5 degree rear steering which really makes it more of a breeze to park and maneuver. Luckily I don't street park much.

Beautiful car. Congrats! Love the red interior.

Once I install the rear sets and the carbon fiber clutch case cover, the next mod will be Termi's and track fairings.

The new peg set is missing

When I bought mine my wife was with me and asked if it would fit in the garage. Well she doesn't have good skills determining the size of cars so I just laughed. Heck I was turning in a Cayenne which I thought was longer.

Got home and it was tight. I was wrong. It was much longer than the Cayenne. Yes it fit but no longer did I have room behind the car with the garage door closed. I did like mine but I guess I'm a whore for cars. I buy them used, love them for a couple years and buy again. Yours is really sweet. Love that red interior.

That rear steering would have been handy.

Very nice! I am a big fan of the knives after carrying for a bit now.

EDIT: That King Sue is available at the Binny's super store in Champaign, about an hour north of here. Pricey stuff, though. $18 for 4 16oz cans. $103 for that case of six you posted. Is that in line with what you paid?

This is my go to New England IPA, doesn't hurt that the place is practically down the street and with the new chef the food is really good

Smooooth, but will kick your ass

If you think that IPA is expensive you should see some of their stouts. I have a few of them and the "cheap" ones are $50 a bottle retail.

It's an old picture considering I sold that bike in 2014-2015. That said, I don't know anybody who throws away helmets. I could take a photograph with it today if I wanted to.

I didn't pay particular attention to the helmet, but now that it's been mentioned, I had very similar Shoei (the black and white one) when I last owned a bike. I had mine custom painted to match my leathers. I took the speakers out of a set of headphones and embedded them into the helmet so I could hear my radar detector at speed. I think it went with the bike when I sold it. That was a looong time ago.

I never threw it away, but I don't wear it anymore as the integrity is supposedly not as good after so many years. I have a newer Shoei that I wear now.

I, too, wear a newer Shoei I purchased a few years ago. I may try an AGV Pista next.

Bit the bullet on a cordless ratchet. Man, batteries are hard to find and expensive!

Edit: app won't attach a pic.... Milwaukee 2557 + qty 2 batteries

Maybe premium would have been better than high end. Generally a much nicer built knife with good tolerances and good steel would be a higher end knife to me. A few of the ones I consider high end are just Benchmade or Microtech autos while some of them are fully custom fixed blades or folders.

SOG, ZT and those others are not ones I personally consider higher end.

Are you looking for M12 batteries? If so FB marketplace is good, otherwise I can shoot you some deals when I see them.

I bit the bullet and replaced the battery in my M235i yesterday. The original battery was almost 8 years old and still cranked pretty well!

Before I purchased the battery I ordered a Carly ODB2 device so I could register the battery my self. Very easy chore.

You know somebody now! I've performed a de-mil (cut straps, drill with hole saw) on *dozens* of Snell helmets in the past, when they have reached the end of their 10-year service life.....

I have a 30 year old full face helmet that my son wears while on his mini bike. Top speed 15 mph

Oh it's a lot smaller than the picture.
Better to have one in the trunk than to need one.
