    Luggage Box For CBR300R

    Givi makes 55 L model, I have one on my Vstrom. I would only consider Givi or Shad. As to the security thing........it's a plastic box with a lock on it so everything is relative.

    Busted plastic - baseball bat damage

    Leave it. That's nothing compared to what is yet to happen at the hands of kids. Once they're on their own; THEN get yourself something nice.

    Active housing inventory for sale is rising on a year-over-year basis in almost every state.

    I wonder how many of those for sale listings are for people who "bought" more house than they could afford? Little things like inflation, increased property taxes, vehicle loans and CC debt may have buried some people.

    guys over 50 doing maintenance

    I'm 65 and work on my vehicles because its easier than working on them after somebody I paid to do it cocked it up.

    Preemptively Replace Battery...OR not?

    I replace the battery in my truck after five years service for two reasons. One, it's my only vehicle apart from two motorcycles. Two, every time I put the key in the ignition I have the intention of going someplace and haven't built in time to deal with dead battery.

    Auto ins just doubled!

    And it gives you true picture of what you're paying. I get a discount for paying a year in advance. My insurance guy knows two things for certain; I won't call him for anything less than a total, and more importantly, if my rate goes up I'm shopping that day for a new carrier.

    Age to cut the kids off.

    Having raised three children who are now middle aged, the amount of support I provided was directly proportionate to their ambition. Just like in the real world.

    Would you let someone borrow your car for $40

    There are like five people on the PLANET I'd lend my truck to, and it's 15 years old. My yardstick is this, if we're close enough that I'd gift them the truck or anything else I have of value, I'd lend them anything. Other than that, someone couldn't borrow a HF screwdriver from me, if I had one.

    Bike tires and tubes lifespan ?

    It's a "girlfriend test". Early on I show them my bikes, if they say something like "you have too many bikes" they go right back out the door. I just don't need that kind of negativity in my life. :ROFLMAO:

    Bike tires and tubes lifespan ?

    This is just one of the rooms where I have bikes :ROFLMAO: All of my bikes are kitted with GOOD, read expensive, tires. I treat all of them just as I do my truck or motorcycle tires; inspecting the tread and looking for cracks, slits or weather checking. The instant one doesn't pass the test...

    I changed the spark plugs on my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek and found oil in one spark plug tube

    I'd file that problem behind getting my cholesterol checked. Drive it.

    Vacation Travel Rent Or Use Your Vehicle

    I think the answer to the question "Do you take your personal vehicle on a 2k road trip or rent?" lies in the question "Do you truly OWN your vehicle or are you paying monthly to use it?". If you don't have a clear title, preserving residual value thru mileage reduction might be the best...

    10% hike on MSRP across all Ford models?

    That right there ^^^^^^ I'm surprised they didn't double down with price increases because the tariffs had COVID.

    10% hike on MSRP across all Ford models?

    When comes to my money, asking price isn't necessarily the getting price. I'll wait until they don't sell all those trucks at the inflated price, then start shopping.

    PUP's fall from grace over the last 10 years?

    I looked up "PUP oil" and all I found was something for sick dog. Can someone get me started on what we're talking about?
