I wish it did come in that can. It's more like a bottle of fuel injector cleaner.

Bought this a week back.

This can stay with my Templar X 250 because the seat is held on with two bolts and the battery is immediately under the seat. I have an NMEA plug for charging that comes out of the side plastic cover. But I cannot get direct battery access with the seat bolted on.

Now I can remove the seat while on the go out on the road when needed.

More importantly I can snug up any bolt that comes loose while out on the road on the bike.

And this is what I also bought, was on a lighting sale? at Amazon at the time. Now that I can open the seat while on the road and access the battery I can always make sure when commuting to work I am ready for any unforeseen circumstances to occur with respect to getting home again.

As typical with these starters its just up to four flat packs of lipoly cells and connected to that is a BMS (Battery Management System). This can recharge the battery and ensure each cell is balanced.

Then plugs to use this unit as a portable power station to recharge phones, laptops, etc.

Then a third separate thick cable wired circuit to the batteries for the smart jump starter cable unit to plug into.

I got this one as it had a full LCD display of exact battery percentage versus just 4 lights to show estimated battery charge state. Plus this one had its own carrying case included.


013 Car Jump Starter, 3000A Jump Starter Battery Pack (up to 10L Gas & 8L Diesel Engines), 12V Lithium Battery Booster for Vehicles, Portable Jump Box with LED Display

Well I bought/ordered a part for my RV. Four days later I got an apology email that they didn't actually have it and couldn't get one and refunded it. So if I had reported what I had bought would I have to come back and unbuy it? Hmm.

One of these. I need to see in the Corvair tank before I fire it.

The new drive pulley for the lathe. It didn't make me happy that it wasn't fully threaded for the set screw. I took care of it, but still...

This inexpensive cordless ratchet. Plenty good enough for light duty work. I like that it comes with two detachable batteries so you can always keep one charged up.

Definition of "buy" - obtain in exchange for payment.

Seems the purchase isn't complete until item is obtained and payment is exchanged.

Yesterday, I ordered motorcycle/ATV loading ramps.
Today, I was charged for them.
Later this week, I should receive them

pre posting! Sale to close Wednesday.

2004 Victory V92 Touring Cruiser. Approximately 20k miles on it. I will be the third owner. The owner prior to the current owner was none other than Kyle Petty. He had a stable of 6 Victory bikes back in the day when Victory was sponsoring him (and also contributing to his charity). He showed me a laminated copy of the registration with Kyle's name on it. It comes with the bike.

According to the owner, his son, who was a private pilot for the Petty's, purchased all 6 from Kyle. This one supposedly did some cross country travelling on his charity rides.

Regardless though....it's in very good condition except for some scrapes where the owner fell over. He's 75 now and 2 wheels is beyond his capabilities at this point. (he had a spider sitting in the garage beside this one). Most of the bike is still stock but has an aftermarket Corbin seat.

Oh...and he's a vietnam vet. flew choppers over there. Was very nice meeting him!
