Issues with a Harley
Yep. Old school rigid chopper. Done tens of thousands of miles on 'em. My back reminds of that a lot now that I'm so old. -

I don't know if he's commented on Trump's business acumen or not but he was on President Trump's Advisory Council. He quit when Trump pulled us out of the Paris Climate Change Accords. -

From the front page of today's Wall Street Journal. Sorry for the lengthy post. I couldn't link to the article because it is behind a paywall, but here are the opening paragraphs: Some Tesla Suppliers Fret About Getting Paid Auto maker’s tumultuous year has concerned some of its suppliers... -

Musk has now been subpoenaed by the SEC for claiming on Twitter that he has a deal to take TESLA private. Ironic he forgot that it's not "his" company, but a publicly-owned one and he has to follow certain rules for how he does things. As far as the Model 3 goes, they did manage to build 5,000... -

You're probably right, but the way they're burning cash..... I'd love to see one of these "businesses should save the planet instead of worrying about the bottom line" companies go spectacularly best even with government subsidies, billionaire owner injecting his own money and stock market and... -

Thanks for posting this. I believe this is going to be a bigger and bigger issue going forward. And in John Deere's case, They're screwing with people's livelihood. Crops in the field won't wait. If the companies don't get more reasonable about this, I can see a politician playing this in... -

Interesting. Not surprised. There's a lot of profit in locking people into an 'ecosystem' with only one supplier of parts and repair options. Tesla is at the extreme end, but I think mere and more manufacturers will try to do more of this as they add mere custom software to vehicles. And I don't... -
Issues with a Harley
Sorry, our posts must have crossed. Didn't see the info about the carb rebuild. Have you checked the timing? That's where I'd probably go next. Make sure it's still in time and the points are clean and gap set correctly. If that's all good, it might be time for a compression check on both... -
Issues with a Harley
I don't know how long it has been sitting since it last was running but this is the best first step if nothing major has happened. Those old engines don't like ethanol gas, I don't care what the EPA tells you. Could be as simple as gummed up jets. I'd clean the crabs, new plugs, new gas and try... -
Anyone own or driven one of these Indian Jeeps?
Cool. I hope this catches on. I always thought an argument could be made that the seat belts ruled out the need for a helmet. Still can't afford one, but this moves it higher on the bucket list. -
Anyone own or driven one of these Indian Jeeps?
Really? I'm pretty sure it's classified as a motorcycle and the 2 I've seen on the road here in Georgia, both driver and passenger were wearing helmets. It would be cool if you didn't have to. I wish we could get all the helmet laws trashed. -
Anyone own or driven one of these Indian Jeeps?
That's why the Polaris Slingshot had to be classified as a motorcycle. No way it could meet crash standards. Yes, its street legal, but none of the handling or open air freedom of a bike. For 20k+ you get basically a 3 wheel car with no storage space, no roof and you have to wear a helmet when...
