    Anyone Ride Glassy water, near the freezing point?

    I think you're missing the point, Mr. I'm from California and everyone knows it now. No one is "stuck" inside, unless they're boring. Snowmobiles, Skiing, Hockey, Ice Fishing, Sledding. Maybe you've heard of them. I keep the RC track clear all winter since I'm usually too busy in the Summer...

    Anyone Ride Glassy water, near the freezing point?

    People who complain about the weather are boring. I'll take two months of snow and cold, over any of the smog, fires, water shortages, or hurricanes the rest of the country deals with. We get all seasons, sometimes in the same day. How would I ever get caught up on "indoor" hobbies if winter...

    Anyone Ride Glassy water, near the freezing point?

    I rode into a bay this December, which I thought started to thaw. It was just water on the top. Ended up having to bust my way out of that one. I have not slid across ice yet.

    Anyone Ride Glassy water, near the freezing point?

    I didn't think humans could notice the difference. But now seeing the numbers, I'm not crazy. The viscosity is MUCH lower at 32.

    Anyone Ride Glassy water, near the freezing point?

    I guess the best way to think about is, the molecules are slush and we can't see it yet. I read up on water viscosity more. It's quite interesting right at 32/0 freezing, even compared to 34 degrees. There was a mythbuster episode about super heated water(above 212/100). They used a microwave...

    Anyone Ride Glassy water, near the freezing point?

    One of the phenomenons I've been noticing the past few years, is riding glassy water near the freezing point. I ride until the ice comes, and many times the water is sitting at 32 degrees prior to that. This glassy ultra cooled water seems to not act like warm glassy summer water. 1. The...

    cool story bro....you must go outside a lot. Did you find the secret lagoon at Lake Dias? It's fun ripping in the trees. I have a funnel with a hose attached. The funnel has an ON/OFF valve at the bottom. I attach the hose to the SXR flush connection. With the handlepole straight up, use...

    Teach me to weld?

    Some of the sticks can be hard to strike an ARC. You may need to drag them fast across the material at the start, so they don't stick. Setting the AMPs higher can help. Your machine might not have the power to run thicker rods... You've got the idea, just keep laying beads until they look...

    2022 Daytona pics!

    I was jealous of the weather. Been to Daytona twice, and it's always been cloudy and raining most of the time.

    Teach me to weld?

    That's a stick welder. Stick Welding is super fun. It's difficult at first since the electrode is the filler metal. It's probably the best practive before jumping to TIG. I would get a full face helmet rated for the spark you're producing. Gauntlets, leather apron, long sleeves, boots, the...

    Did you call a Rep or a Tech line?.... Says right on the bottles: Interceptor is for Power Valve motors and Dominator is for NON Power valve. Both are rated higher than TC-W3.

    The hood is SMC and that does chip easy. The bottom is Fiberglass, but I remember reading it's a hybrid on the Kawasaki webpage? The top could be SMC?

    Need an opinion

    I painted my SXR bilge white with TotalBoat TotalBilge. I love how it looks, but it took almost a solid month for the paint to harden in August heat and humidity. It's now rock hard and everything just wipes away. I painted my SXR bottom white with Rustoleum Epoxy 3 seasons ago. It's now...

    Sell everything you own and get this

    I love my Electric Skateboard. Not sure I'm sold on e-bikes. Riding a bike with pedals is natural for miles. Skateboarding for miles is painful... We rode our BMX bikes as kids between ride spots, so making one electric makes sense to me. These "e-bikes" blur the line of electric...

    Cold water riding clothes

    My hood and gloves are Neosport. Nothing special about them, they've held up for a few years now. My hood is a 5/3mm.

    Cold water riding clothes

    I forget to mention I wear a Neoprene hood as well. I pull the liner out of my helmet and wear a neoprene hood, even in the summer. Works much better.

    Cold water riding clothes

    For gloves, I wear 3mm Neoprene Gauntlets. I have 5mm but they're too thick. For shoes, I wear Scuba Diving Boots late season. They're 6mm and my feet have never gotten cold in them. For wet suits, I wore a 2/3/4 John for years. Now I have a 5.2mm O'Brien one piece. I have never gotten cold...
