My craftsman torque wrenches are old AF. I haven’t calibrated them in years. So that’s my excuse for a replacement. Plus I’m envious of these digital models. I haven’t done any research on the digital torque wrenches but im hoping for something that I can easily switch between NM, in lbs, and...

How do you guys CCW while on two-wheels? Looking for suggestions on different methods of carry. I am a long time CCW and have my daily rigs set. Just bugs me that I can't find something I'm comfortable with on the bike. For reference I ride adventure touring, sportbikes, or supermoto. Geared...

Hey All, What would you do.... This morning on my commute into work I had a very pleasant, kind, courteous lady in a Yukon XL pass me on the left shoulder of the highway while I was in the left lane. This sandwiched me, on my motorcycle, between herself and a semi, with inches to spare, as...

So I recently had some tile work done in my bathroom (part of an extensive bathroom remodel). Long story short the tile guys don't do granite so I had to get another contractor in to put the granite down for the cap on the shower curb. The granite guys left me with approx. 1/2" gap between the...
