The Hayabusa is a wonderful motorcycle, but it is now 22 years old, and is getting pretty long in the tooth. I am hoping that we finally get what so many of us have been patiently waiting for...

I was just looking at the base model 2021 Gladiator Sport configurator, and it appears that they all come with Dana 44 axles now. I thought the Wranglers below the Rubicon came with Dana 30 front axles, and I had assumed that Gladiator would be the same, so I was a little confused. I also saw...

The Triumph Speed Trip 1050 has been LONG overdue for an upgrade. On the 26th of this month, we get the new Speed Trip 1200. Should be more fun than giving two toys to three kids.

The maintenance schedule looks fairly scary for the Beta, with an engine overhaul scheduled for every 90 hours. It looks twice as scary for the TM, with an engine overhaul scheduled for every 45 hours. But 50 horserpower in a 245-pound motorcycle with a license plate sounds like fun...

Years ago, my wife and I purchased a Yamaha TTR90E for our daughter as an off-road play bike when she was little. We also used it as a pit bike at our local motorcycle road racing course. It was great, in both roles. Fast forward to today- we are now retired, empty nesters, and in the process...

Teasley's 6.34 second 222 mph Pro Street pass, self-starting, self-cooling, self-charging, muffled, on gasoline, on DOT-legal street tires, with a hand-operated clutch, no wheelie bar, no drag slick, and no slider clutch:

Scanning the web, but I don't know a good retailer from a bad one. Don't really feel like taking my chances with bargain products off Ebay or Amazon, for something safety-related like this...

It's fan-cooled, has a fixed-voltage mode suitable for LiFePO4 batteries, is capable of 120A charging current (which would be .2C rate), and draws 15A, which is about as much continuous current as we can expect from our little generator or a household outlet. What say ye? Are there any other...

Three of these: https://www.aimscorp.net/lithium-battery-12v-200ah-lifepo4-lithium-iron-phosphate.html Bluetooth monitoring, no DoD restrictions, and cell-balancing BMS...

My wife wants a propane powered stove/oven. We don't know much about them. She's looking at some Airxcel Suburban 22" models. Can somebody point us in the right direction?

Any input? The spec sheet says it draws 1.1A at 24VDC, or 2.2A at 12VDC. My wife likes the interior configuration.

There's only a few on the market. The Mercedes AMG E63S has had a lock on that particular niche spot in the marketplace for some time. But now Audi is FINALLY bringing the RS6 Avant to the U.S.. They're both AWD, and they're both powered by twin-turbo V8 engines. Are there any other contenders?

Got it for about $500 off list price, though Springfield Armory's IOP (Individual Officer Program).

The kid speaks on a level that I understand. Any comments about the information that he's putting out?

In looking at lithium batteries, I'm running into some challenges- a lot of the manufacturers recommend not putting them in series, and yet I'm also learning that it's not a good idea to parallel more than two batteries. So if I want 400Ah at 12 volts, I need to buy a pair of 200Ah batteries...

The HIT panels are supposed to be more efficient and run cooler- I learned that here. ;) The N250 panel dimensions would allow us to put 2,000 watts (8 of them) on the roof, and still leave room for a skylight roof vent fan thing. But I can't find them here in the U.S....

I'm considering how to minimize the heat that certain components would add to our living environment, so that we don't end up just burning gas in the generator to have the inverter trade BTUs with the air-conditioner that it's powering. We're planning an air gap between our solar panels and the...

Was looking at the Powermax PM3-100-LK 100-amp 12VDC charger. It is compatible with the lithium house batteries that we intend to use. Their web site says it pulls 15 amps of AC, which is about the max I think I can get away with when feeding it with either a residential outlet or a Honda...

Our truck came with a 150a 24VDC alternator. In addition to solar, generator, and shore power, I'd also like to be able to use the alternator to charge our house battery bank as we drive from one place to the next. If I understand correctly, I can charge lithium batteries much faster than...
