Dave1291 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Maybe we should move the "bike thread over to Cables, Coffee, Cocktails & Cycles?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I own this (180K miles and counting) so I know what a good chassis is. I had a bike shop for many years Brit bikes and HD only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell the '20 Road King pictured above has 46K on it. No way of knowing. Raced open class MX for almost 50 years. Only once did it require a hospital stay and that was all my fault. Still have my race bikes cannot seem to part with them. 300,000 !! That's gotta be at least 4 top end jobs there. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure I should hang a 55” tv from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 You would hang a basket ball goal on the same size of post and a lot higher. It is mostly about being sure the TV is secure in this scenario I think. I love those articulating arms too where you can adjust in all directions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure the weight won’t cause the pole to shift. I’m not sure how deep it is and it’s held at the top by weight on on it. I have had to knock one back in place.

BTW if all I do is ride to work it's 13K a year. Up until last spring it was twice that. I do ride year 'round. No snow or ice intentionally. The photo of the Aprilia in front of the ice wall is my annual New Year's Day ride in 2015. It was in the 20s w/30 MPH wind gusts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2020 only has 46,000, which is still more than I’ve driven the past few years. I used to have a 45 minute rip through the mountains twice a day to and from work. Now I’m officially a work from home employee and I get reimbursed for mileage if I step foot out of my driveway for work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezin' Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 High winds brought me a tree on the garage. Doesn't seem to be any damage. Well that made my decision on what to do with it easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a tune on that Subaru yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
