    Octane draining battery

    do you have an DC Inductance Ammeter? You can monitor what is draining the power with it. (I got one from Sears for ~$75) Most new vehicles will drain their batter in less than a month if they sit. My 08 Suburban pulls 1.7-6 Amps after the key is off.

    Sxr 800 or Sxr 1500...

    I get about 50 minutes of riding hard, just over an hour of casual riding my SXR before I hit reserve. It usually takes about 3.5 gallons to fill it up at that point. Mostly stock, just a head and flywheel.

    Sxr 800 or Sxr 1500...

    If you're used to a 750, I'd go with the 800. I love my SXR 800. Great for buoys, freeride, and surf. I rode the 1500 and it's just so much bigger and heavier. It pulls like a sport bike, smooth and constant than towards the end it winds out. It's weight keeps it going when you let off the...

    Other Anyone else considering changing jobs in this current economic climate?

    I switched Jobs back in February(27th). I moved back to my hometown, which is finally seeing a push from manufacturing to service industries. I loved moving back to the river and bluffs, but the job switch took some time adjust. It's hard to come into a large group of developers, who claim to...

    Lake Wisconsin/Dells Area Riding

    I rode Lake Wisconsin/Wisconsin River quite a bit when I lived in Madison. My favorite spot was putting in near Hookers Resort in Dekorra. You can ride down river to Lake Wisconsin, or you can head up river towards Portage. The Baraboo River dumps in near there also. Plenty of sandbars and...

    Super Jet Super jet will not turn over after I almost sunk her at lake of the ozzarks

    I had a Zip tie hold my Versi-plug open. I figured it was a hood seal or water cooling leaking.

    I used 50 Vinegar/50 filtered water with some dawn dish soap to clean up my Mercury 25hp Carburetor two weekends ago. I let the parts dry in the sun for a half hour, rebuilt the carb, and was driving the boat to dinner that night. Aluminum foil became etched in my parts cleaner with just...

    Any Runners in here

    This is why I love sitting in my tree stand all day Deer Hunting. I feel bad even checking my phone, so nice to just sit with nature doing nothing! It's amazing how much the forest comes alive when you're not walking around making noise. I had a Chickadee almost land on my head this year, the...
