    I drink draft beer not craft beer.

    In mine sheds cannot be attached. They have to be near the back property line. Supergay.

    I'd prefer to get a resin shed, but my HOA gets their panties twisted about them. I'll do something like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd_336052-57658-191206_1z0wg8a__?productId=3412788&pl=1

    I was having a stamped concrete patio installed. While they were there I had them pour a 12x10 pad for a shed. They did it for free, but the pad would have been $6 sq/ft.

    I just had a concrete pad poured last week. I have yet to pick out my shed though.

    Youtube just saved me $600 on a car repair.

    I was hoping she'd want us to guess which bike she bought

    If the cover won't come off the stator has to be stuck on the rotor. The only other things are can think of would be the rotor wasn't on straight or the shaft was bent during install...but that would take a shit ton of force.
  9. Tpoppa
    If one of the windings was making contact with the rotor it could have pulled away and become jammed.
  10. Tpoppa
    Is it possible that your rewound stator has become unwound? Did it have enough clearance that nothing touched the rotor?

    As I've said before...I think a STOCK Harley is acceptably reliable. They only make 65hp because more than that and the reliability suffers. Of course few owners leave them stock.

    Great story. Apples and oranges, but great story. How much HP could a Corvette reliably produce if it used an air cooled motor? 200? 250? Would you call that Hi tech? One of the limiting factors of push rods is RPMs. Not such a big deal on a car, because cars have a lot more flexibility with weight and displacement. The HD 103ci produces a whopping 65 hp. http://www.hdforums.com/forum/touring-models/827903-what-is-this-factory-hp-on-103-a.html A hi tech 600cc super sport displaces about 36ci and make significantly more hp...reliably.

    There is certainly some tech, like FI...finally. However the engine architecture is certainly low tech. An air cooled, pushrod twin is about the lowest tech motor you can find on a street bike. It's straight out of 1965. The manufacturing process and quality control use current tech, but the product largely does not.

    I am a rider, not a motorcycle enthusiast. Harleys just never made my manly bits tingle.

    You should aim some of your commend-ing at the EPA. HD would be happy making air cooled motorcycles forever, but the EPA is gradually making that more difficult. Air cooled heads aren't exactly "current" technology. I doubt that there will be anything air cooled left in HD's line up 10 years from now.

    Some recreational drugs are just fine in moderation. OTOH, I've seen too many lives (of good people) destroyed by Heroin...for many moderation is not possible.

    I never been too high. Come to think of it I don't think I've ever been too drunk. Wait...I get too drunk all the time.

    Now we're getting somewhere.

    I'll leave my bikes as is, but I am currently researching political, religious, and law enforcement topics so I have something to complain about over the winter.
  23. Tpoppa
    Anyone know why many bike speedos are so inaccurate? It has to be intentional, but why? The worst I've had was off by 10%. My VFR otoh is spot on.
