Keystone State Thread

I'm a purchasing manager for a company that repairs and rebuilds hydraulic cylinders. Large hydraulic cylinders for cranes, balers, scrap yard equipment sort of stuff. We have a full machine shop, both manual and CNC machines. We do industrial hard chrome plating for our own repairs and for other shops.

 

UPS only will make the money. FedEx delivery drivers are contract and you'd be making about $400 a week...

 

Those damn UPS unions. Won’t somebody think of the shareholders.

 

This must explain why UPS is so much better than Fed Ex, at least from my window seat.

 

Hi all hope you are have a good week I haven’t been on much I’m starting to get things ready for deer camp . Friday baby gets her new leer cap on her I’ll be posting new pictures of her top less and with a top on her

Notice how his ears zero in on where the barking is coming from. Once 'inside the house' is confirmed, time to move on, no hurry. So cool!

 

Good morning PA. Middle of the month already.

 

Good morning all. Brisk, 30 degree ride in to work this morning. Now coffee

 

Morning Pennsylvania

 

Good morning Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.
@BkerChuck your crazy once it drops to below 50 the bike is put away for me. But my guess is you have heated gear. I did that for like 5 years ride in the winter but at that time of my life I didn't have a car so I had no choice.

 

Crazy is a bit harsh.....I've had heated gloves for almost 25 years. Bought a heated jacket liner and dual control remote thermostat allowing me to adjust the jacket and gloves separately almost 10 years ago. Best investments in riding gear I think I've ever made. I've been riding as close to year round as possible for years. Part of it is just the pure love of motorcycles and part of it for a long time has been owning cars or trucks that got really crappy fuel mileage so I did it to save money on gas. 40+ mpg on a bike compared to less than 20mpg on my Tacoma or worse yet the 13 mpg of my F-150 I used to own made riding as much as possible a no brainer to me.

 

Every time the temperature drops rapidly, this happens...



The TPMS in my truck is absolutely useless!

 

Ride in the cold. Do it. When I was a Miata guy - back around Seattle - every dry day was a top-down day. I'd bundle up in a parka and gloves and drive that B just because. Scariest part though, on a bike? Cold streets. Cold tires. Oof.

 

Anyone else think that icon looks kind like a hairy butt? The little marks on the bottom are the hair...the..other stuff is the other stuff...yes, I have a therapist

Oh - and what's on your dash? Let's do a detail day!

 

I've had some scares with cold tires on frozen roads not a good combo. I honestly think with the amount of titanium I have in my body it just keeps me so cold all the time.

 

Looks more like it's working exactly the way it should. For every 10 degree drop in outside temp you can expect a 1 psi drop in tire pressure so if the last time you checked your tires it was roughly 70 outside and now it's only 30 you can expect your tires to be down 4 psi and your TPMS should detect it.

 

When I leave out in the morning I'm especially cautious for the first few miles to allow tire temps to get up to an acceptable range. I'm also leery on black ice in spots under trees that don't get much sunlight that could be hiding slick spots. I have a friend in this area who rides year round and actually mounts some studded knobbies for winter use.

 

Also maybe u don't have them set properly when normal temps , or maybe u have to relearn the tpms what normal psi is. Is ur truck the yearsvthat has a sensor in the spare ? If so that maybe the culprit.

 

when I had a S2000 I drove top down in cold weather, too.
