A Cool Concept For Generator Sets | High Quality Fuel Injection Nozzle

Also that nice dark winding road usually had trees along the sides and it is amazing how strong a 6 inch tree trunk is.

Without the “safety features” I would have carried across the sunny patch with no problems, instead I completely lost control of the vehicle and only avoided a crash because the road was empty. Needless to say, all the “safety” BS got turned off right away.

– is using their hazard lights in the rain and moving more than 5-10 mph – is holding up the left lane in general – is using their DRLs at night – probably a few other things, including truck drivers who go slower than 2mph under the speed limit in the left lane up a long grade (speaking of trucks, an extra long, punitive shock any time they have a tire blowout)

I would rather have ‘some’ tech than ‘none’. One problem as someone said before is that this crap is rolled out half baked, and we get to find the flaws. The first ABS equipped Grand Cherokees come to mind. I remember how on a steep descent the ABS wouldn’t allow the rig to come to a complete stop. That’s straight up dangerous.

But, I hate the lane departure warning, forward collision warning and the like because bad drivers rely on them rather than actively driving the car. Good drivers will ignore the false alerts until one day its for real and they still ignore it. Normalization of deviance its called in some circles.

Harley-Davidson said Tuesday it’s recalling about 238,300 motorcycles, worldwide, for a clutch problem.

That’s good news because the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 have been bringing the goods in the truck market, and the Big 3 are largely leaving  Japanese full-size trucks in the dust. We didn’t get pricing, Environmental Protection Agency information, or towing capacities either this week — so let’s talk engines.

Parking sensors have been a much-request feature since the launch of the second-generation Colorado for the 2015 model year, and we’re glad to see Chevy adding it. Though definitely useful and welcome, all Colorado models come with a standard rear view camera, and some might find the addition of the parking sensors at the rear somewhat redundant.

ABS is great. I liked how BMW had Stability control in the past…no sliding, and some allowed. You could select sport and get just enough slide from the back or spin to make it fun, but it still kicked in if things went too far.

1. Transmission. Who wouldn’t want a transmission built by Formula 1 supplier Pankl?2. Cylinder head. The 15mm lower Husky/KTM cylinder head is a giant step forward in lessening cam twist. It also makes the bikes feel lighter in the air as the weight is lower in the chassis.3. Sound. The Husky is the quietest production 450. It was only 111.4 dB on the 2-meter-max sound test and 93.2 dB on amateur sound test.4. Weight. At 224 pounds, it is the second lightest 450 on the track.5. Electric starting. You can’t give credit to Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki for having electric starting without giving credit to the bike that got there first.6. Radiators. The radiators are mounted 12mm lower on the frame, and the water capacity is up 20 percent.7. Handlebars. Every test rider liked the new ProTaper handlebar bend.8. Maps. Even though the black box is the same on the 450SXF and FC450, the two maps feel different. We were told that the black box was tuned to the FC450’s ice-cream-cone restrictor muffler, which explains why we liked the FC450 maps better than the KTM maps. 

The investigation into the issue started back in January of this year, when Harley became aware of an incident in Korea where a crash occurred but no injuries were reported. Brembo and Harley started a joint-investigation the following month, and the NHTSA’s recall team did the same in April. 

Tire shop I go to keeps examples of rotted TPM units on their counter to show customers what’s happening.
