Re: So I got a bike.. (Ducati S2R, 1000cc swap, clip-ons, etc.)

While it hasn't been a typical winter of blow powder, there was still places to ski/board. But many of the resorts were only able to run about 75% of their respective mountains. Yeah, I'll bet those first 100 feet or so of 1st time on the board were like "what am I doing?". That's usually the first ...

Cool. How is it a couple weeks ago you guys back east were snorkeling through the snow and now it's 80*? Meanwhile, out west, ski resorts are closing because the meager-to-begin-with lower-level snow is melting. Tomorrow may be my last day on the mountain. Well, with skis or board anyway.

They could improve their accuracy if they'd just look out a west window. "Hmmm. Heavy black clouds and 67*F outside. I shall predict...rain." Odds increased to 50%.

Re: Meet Clifford (WARNING: lotsa pics)

Sadly, Utah has adopted that philosophy. If the weatherman says it looks like it might snow, they pre-salt the roads. If the weatherman has a 10% accuracy rating, they give him a pay raise so, yeah, the dry roads are coated with salt for several days after it doesn't snow.

Re: Meet Clifford (WARNING: lotsa pics)

1. Glad to hear your daughter incurred minimal injury. If she'd have been in a VW, or Civic like my wife's, I'm afraid the sitch would me much more dire. Wiped out the Burb pretty well.
2. I have those same tires on my 2003 1500HD. LOL! I am also surprised Clifford didn't get snatched up around here ...

My son introduced me to knipex pliers while we were working on his Audi A7 a couple weeks ago. Now I have to get me some.

Re: 2005 Cobalt LS

Yep, working out of the weather beats trying to do something like that in the snow. Have you looked into "snow socks" for your car? I got some for my wife's Civic and they rock. They slip on easy and grip is excellent. Can't go more than about 25mph with them and you have to put them on BEFORE you ...

It's a bit more pricey, but worth it for all my bikes/equipment.

Re: Bike #5 1983 Yamaha IT175K

Almost just in time to put it away for winter. LOL! My trials bike prolly has an inch of dust on it. But I wouldn't know because I haven't seen is since it's been buried in the shop for a couple years. I need to dig it out and clear my head.

Re: 2003 BMW M5

I was actually happy I didn't have to isolate a current draw. I can do electrical but man I'd rather be doing something else. Agreed. With all the electronics on cars anymore you can get wrapped up in spark chasing for days. It's unbelievable what a sketchy ground somewhere in a system will do, for ...

Re: 2003 BMW M5

I need to check my Silverado. I think it has a parasitic drain on the battery 'cause when I let it sit for several weeks it complains and I have to hook up the charger. For the time being I keep it on a tender.
