The question is will this be like the swine flu or will it be something else? Had a long discussion about this in the shop today. If this becomes a big thing this summer, hold on to your wallets. We are expecting it'll not only hit dairy, but beef too.

Not sure if they still do it, they used to do a kart race called the Manx Grand Prix. It was wild too. Racing 125 shifters and 250 super karts through the streets of Peel.

For every day use on the Jesus Clips, I spent the big bucks and bought a set of Facom pliers with changeable tips. $140. https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/04571246 I also have a few sets of the Channellocks (Lange is the same in orange) with the changeable tips. Like $25 a set. Worth it either way you go. Facom and Channellocks tips are interchangeable. For ripping Team secondaries and larger stuff apart, I bought the Klutch brand from Northern Tool and ground the tips down to fit. The Facom and Channellocks just don't have the rigidity to take those apart. https://www.northerntool.com/klutch-9in-external-snap-ring-pliers-39915

You'd think the team(s) that builds cars for those two teams would step up and say "we'll hook the guy up, but we may need to call in a favor or two sometime."

Maybe a little bit more then I was planning on spending on a used bike, but I'm considering this one if the seller will work on the price a bit. Anyone know the reason for the Push ACS3 Coil "upgrade" to the fork? https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1394382064484093/

We tried 2 different "brands" from the jungle website and both failed in short order. Didn't think of that. I'll have to check it out. Good to know. Probably going to throw the $25 at the Amazon adapters. Dyson's prices are horrible and as I've been reading, their battery life sucks on the replacements.

If it wasn't for Donny Schatz's dad and some other dedicated locals, Fargo wouldn't have a track anymore. They shortened it from 1/2 mile to 3/8 and switched from WISSOTA to IMCA.

The original made it maybe 2 years, the 2 knock-off replacements haven't even made it 4 months each.

Not sure I can trust a report that says the German cars cost more then a Land Rover for maintenance costs. I mean, maybe the Land Rovers were eliminated from the report since there are none on the road that are 6+ years old. They are long dead and mechanically totaled by then.

Anyone here try one of the battery adapters to run a power tool battery on their dead Dyson sucky sucky wand? I'm not buying this thing another replacement battery, so I'm thinking the cRyobi one.

I have found a way to finance riding next season. Bet I have a gallon ice cream pail full of these, if not 2 of them.

Sounds like the guy that ran the fair on Fargo. I swear fair boards bring him in to get rid of race tracks. There was no way in hell that track was going to exist while he was there. He did it to another fair down in Kansas or someplace like that in the last year or so. Fargo got the track back and going thanks to a lot of dedicated locals, but shortened it from a big half miler. Good track too.

Maybe it is just an issue with all the 8000 and 9000 riders who never really use the brake since they ride at like 20mph anyway.

How do you get chatter from a brake rotor at idle? As in loose tolerancing? I get chatter (pulsing) on the scallops rotors out trail riding, but that is all I've really noticed.

I went from a Trek Session DH bike to a Cannondale XC bike of somekind to nothing. I think anything semi-modern is a big improvement from either of those for riding in western MN.

Found a Rocky Mountain I might try to make time to go look at tomorrow. Will probably be too wet to be in the fields. Don't have a ton of requirements. Fox fork and/or shock, Shimano 1x12, slacker headtube angle, modernish frame (2020 or newer ideal), sub-$2500. Seems like it would be easy(ish) to find, but not really.

To hell with the GGB stuff, he needs himself a Sno-Stuff Stumble Pack Does Argo assemble their own ATV's and whatnot? You'd think if they don't Cat could be a good acquisition for them to move that in house.

The Audi and BMW leasee crowd has flocked over to Teslas. I am uninterested in owning a Tesla of any variety. There were 2 Urus's floating around Hood Cloud when we were there. A pearl white one and a lighter blue one. I thought they were neat at first, but now they are kind of meh. I'd rather have one of the Rambo Lambos that live a sad life in this state. Tesla Boy at work tried to lemon law his like 4 times before they pretty much banned him from the dealer/service center? He still talks with a couple of the younger engineers here. That kid has issues.

My parents don't let me us the plane anymore. I'm pissed.

Wish they'd just sell to Argo, take the L on the books, and put us all out of this misery.

For most mountain bikes, I need a large. Almost everything I've found that I've considered buying is either not a large, almost the same price as new, or sells right away. I can't just drop what I'm doing and drive 3 hours to the Cities to buy something. Maybe I need to be less picky? F it. If I'm spending this kind of money, I'm buying one I want and know I'll ride.
