    Adventures on a 50cc scooter (Ruckus contect)

    Just happened on this video. There are "light and fast" thumpers, but then there is this guy riding around the continent on a 50cc scooter. It must be nice to "have to" stick to local roads on the travels. Bet he saw some pretty cool things along the way.

    Wiper blades

    Hey, what do you guys use? Mine's stock Ford (currently has 15k miles), and since the third month of ownership, it's gone downhill. Streaks everywhere. And I live in the high desert, which makes it even worse, since I haven't really used it that much. Fed up enough now to try some new ones...

    Anyone have a Moonlander for sale?

    I'm not sure if this is ok to post here, but if not, please move it to the classifieds. It seems the "motorcycle/bike" classifieds is just filled with moto stuff. _ Anyway, I'm looking for a Moonlander, in size Medium. Anyone have one for sale? If interested, I have a Warbird (Al) and/or...

    Subaru Outback roof rack options

    Needless to say, the stock roof rack sucks on our Outback (newer gen with the folding arms). Yet, there are no options for a replacement. I'm talking replacing the whole thing. _ Looking at the Landcruiser racks, it seems like if simple towers could be fabricated, rack options would be...

    Fat bikes

    It seems fat bikes have hit their peak about a year ago. I see far less interest this year. Sales seem to be down, and generally not as much enthusiasm from the biking communities. I find this interesting, because (at least in my area) winter cycling support seems to be as big as ever. Bike...

    Do it all bike tire size

    I love riding my bike. Riding it to the trails, on the trail, and back home. I guess I get pleasure of not relying on motorized transportation on my outings. Because I am riding through various terrain, tire choice becomes an issue. Over the last few years, I've been testing out various tires...

    45-70 rifle

    I'm looking at purchase a 45-70 rifle. I was looking at some lever actions by Henry and Marlin, but I really would prefer a single shot. Looks like CVA makes one, but I'm not fond of that brand. I have a muzzleloader made by them and have not been impressed. Also found T/C (Thompson Center)...

    F150 2.7 Ecoboost

    Never thought the day would come. I am now a domestic truck owner, after years of Toyotas only. I was looking at the Tundra's, and although nice quality, I couldn't stomach the abysmal MPG. So looked at GMC, Dodge, etc. and was really impressed with Ford. Ended up with an F150, 2.7L...

    Best drivetrain of the big 3?

    Which engine/transmission configuration would you say is the most reliable of the big 3 trucks? Looking at the possibility of picking up a 1/2 ton. Not doing much towing, except maybe a 3,800lb trailer every now and then. Won't be modified much. 33's at the most, but would probably stick...

    Salsa warranty issues

    Not my bike, but some guy who seems to have a legitimate warranty issue that almost went unanswered by Salsa. Still had to pay a little bit for labor, but very surprising on Salsa's part. Having just purchased a Salsa bike, it does make me concerned if I do run into warranty issues...

    Summertime fat bike set up

    I've been having a blast on my recently-acquired Blackborow. Lou's were great on snow; however, as summer approaches, I am thinking of going a bit lighter/agile. So, a second wheelset may be in order. Here are my choices: Option A) Nextie 65 or 80mm rims. Husker Du, Fat B Nimble, Hodag or...

    2016 Tacoma

    I don't know what the crap that other thread was..... Anyway, Tacoma is making its debut in Chi-town tomorrow (along with a test course in the building). Hoping that they will release some figures. Some online article said it was going to crush the Colorado (3.6L, 305hp, 24MPG), but the...

    Fat bike purchase

    Winter bike blues is kicking my butt. Road riding is ok, but miss the mountains. I went on a ride last weekend on my mountain bike, but got me thinking that I don't want to be restricted to certain trails (that see a lot of traffic, thereby packing down the snow enough to ride my bike on)...

    Small roof cargo rack

    I'm looking for a small cargo rack to bolt onto my Yakima cross bars. Something like ~3-3.5' wide, 4' long. Flat rack, preferable. Other than custom, anyone know of a good source? I've seen racks like this for cheap, but looking for a flat rack option...

    JKU as a family overland vehicle

    Just curious about space management in the JKU for those that travel with kids. Mine are 4 and 1, and may add another in a year or two. Without going to a trailer, how has it been doing 3-5 day trips? My current Landcruiser is packed to the gills, plus the roof rack is loaded as well, for a 5...

    Just when is it "enough"? (2014 New Year's Resolution)

    I have been a cycling enthiast for years. As such, I have tinkered with current bikes and I'm always looking to try out new bikes. My bike stable has been fluctuating from 2 bikes to 10 bikes. What I've realized is that my buying patterns keep going in "circles." I started with a steel...

    OEM wheels for a 2013 F350

    Quick question for you guys. Any issues with compatibility between 2007 or 2008 F350 OEM 18" wheels on a new 2013? Trying to get another set to put some snow tires on and can only find these older wheels. Wasn't sure if the hub, bolt pattern/size, etc. were going to be any different between...

    Smoker - Electric or Charcoal?

    I don't know much about smokers, but recently started looking into them (after a taste of some smoked salmon). I was going to just go with a charcoal unit, as it would be better for use at camps, but to be realistic, I'm not sure if I would ever take it camping. So I thought perhaps electric...

    Favorite overland vegetarian meals

    No, I'm not "one of those"... not that there's anything wrong with that. Awkward.... Anyway, I do like meat. I hunt, fish, like my steaks bloody, favorite meal is bacon with a side of bacon with baco bits sprinkled on top. Lately, I've been trying to watch what I eat, as age is catching up...
