If you find yourself in a situation where your health isn't the greatest, early retirement sounds appealing. But can...

    South Florida, a senior enclave, sees more people ‘unretiring’ due to living costs

    I'm sure all those internet "Experts" that tell everyone to retire early and take your SS early, isn't helping the situation. There are people that simply cannot take early retirement, due to having too much debt, and having little to no savings. I have a family member that believed SS would...

    Motor cycle oil quesitons and applications

    If the mfgr has that SPEC in it's manual, then it should be fine. If you look thru all the oils mentioned here in the MC section, at some point every brand of bike has had every brand of oil out there used in them. Motorcycle specific and automotive. The biggest complaints have been, more engine...

    What is the significance of SS full retirement age?

    How old is your oldest motorcycle?

    My one and only oldest bike is, my '06 Road King Police bike. I only bought it because newer Harley 's are too dependant on electronics. This bike is a former NYC bike, and is super easy to do anything to. The oldest bike I ever owned was a '48 Panhead I had as a teenager. It also was simple...

    25 year old lawn mowers

    I bought my mower in 1997, and it will start on the first pull just about every time. The only thing I've replaced was the blade and the air filter. Those things were made to last. It may have had 6 oil changes in it's life and like was said, the body and other parts will wear out or break...

    How to remove stuck well cap?

    I would try wire brushing the top. Applying very little penetrate directly on the bolts. Not much at all. Let it sit for a while so it starts working it's way under the bolt head. Then hit it with a torch to expand the metal slightly, while putting a wrench on it and working it both ways...

    Has anybody removed there 'splash shield' aka 'belly pan' permanently

    If your vehicle has a plastic oil pan, that would be the only reason I can see for having a splash pan. Cars and trucks haven't had them in the past, and there's alot of old cars still on the road with no issues. Maybe it's cheaper to install a plastic shield and a plastic oil pan, then to...

    Shopping for Insurance

    That sounds like it should work like that but, I had a situation where the other guy didn't have enough coverage to pay the claim for damage. He got a good deal on cheap insurance, like everyone thinks they have. In New Jersey you only have to have $5000 in property damage coverage to get a...

    Hot oil expands.

    To the OP. My Harley's oil level will show between 1/8th - 1/4 of an inch low, when checked cold. But when warmed up, it shows right on the full mark. 2 things, my harley more than likely runs hotter than your wing, being it's air cooled. Second thing is, you may have slightly over filled your...

    Will old gas clogg a fuel pressure regulator

    If It was my boat, I would install a new gas filter, over dose it with fuel injector cleaner, maybe pull some old gas out of the tank, and add new gas. Then really run the boat to burn up as much of the old gas as possible. Old gas in a boat besides going stale, will absorb moisture just from...

    Who does root canals these days?

    I went to my dentist about a month ago for a root canal. My tooth had broken above the gum, so this was the reason. The dentist started doing it but had to stop because she said the tooth had "calcified". And I needed to go to another dentist just to drill the hole.This guy wanted $2200 just to...
