650 Interceptor & Continental GT / Re: Michelin Road Classic tires
« Last Post by BRX39.5 on Today at 05:22:30 pm »I’ve just measured the tread depth on my roadrider II’s.
Odo showing 3991 miles and they were fitted at ~400 miles.
Rear is at 4mm; front is at 5mm, both in the middle of the tread.
Unfortunately I didn’t measure the new depths.
The front looks and feels unworn, the rear you can feel has flatted off a bit in the middle and probably about half worn.
Uk roads, mix of motorway and A/B roads.

« Last Post by Curious wanderer on Today at 05:16:57 pm »In the excitement before heading out on a big trip, it's easy to forget about checking the clutch cable for wear and tear.
Once, I found myself in this situation. I had meticulously serviced, replaced, and polished every part of the motorcycle (RE Bullet Electra Twinspark 350 ) in the photo attached before setting off into the wilderness.
However, about 100 kilometers into the journey, as the road conditions worsened, I noticed the frayed cable at the lever end. It served as a reminder of my oversight – I had forgotten to ask the mechanics to inspect / replace the clutch cable amidst focusing on the larger components during servicing.
Just seconds later, the cable snapped, leaving me stranded.
I had to be towed back to the nearest motorcycle mechanic, essentially returning to where I had started the journey.
A really good point, it’s done and it’s ok. Reminds me to order a spare to tape amplongside it as well.thanks.

On the other hand, prices here are higher than anywhere else, so truckers might want (and likely do) buy their fuel in a neighboring state, like Nevada, before driving into CA. So far, the inspection stations at the border are not smelling truck exhaust to make sure that is smells like french fries and not oil. But that time might come.

« Last Post by zimmemr on Today at 04:00:25 pm »While the military did contribute to primarily large engine development, automobiles including race cars saw the majority of engine development. Superchargers, 4 valve heads, overhead cams and dual spark plugs were first introduced in automotive applications prior to WW1.
Absolutely true, "win on Sunday, sell on Monday." At the bottom, in my opinion most of the significant improvements in engine development have been enthusiast driven.
FWIW I'm a member of the Connecticut Antique Machinery Club, some members have IC engine powered equipment dating back to the 1890's, I'm always amazed at the technology that was employed in some of those early efforts. Unfortunately, it was often sidelined due to cost or manufacturing issues only to be "reinvented" once those issues were resolved.
