Love Dive watches even though I don't dive. I just like the look, the weight and utilitarian design of them. As for what I like, it all depends on what your budget is? Put a number on the table, and I can make some suggestions in that price range.

I like Bulova a lot. The prices are reasonable, their designs are often bold and interesting. They have a rich history and story to tell. My Lunar Pilot with the red NATO strap is one of my favorite watches. If I had to only have a 3-5 watch collection, that would 100% be in it.

What country and VIN range?

Italy, VIN 820190

Sure

Funny you mention the Black Bay homage... Just posted a review of that. haha

Its a shame, because I ran Dunlops exclusively for over a decade. I switched to Michelin Road 6 and haven't looked back.

The only answer is don’t buy Dunlop Q fives at least for any type of aggressive riding. I even had Dave Moss himself. Tell me all the suspension changes I should make to correct the problem I bought a cup Evo didn’t change a thing and all the problems went away. Right now, my Q5 is keeping my JetSki away from the dock that’s about all they’re good for!!😢😅

I like Dave Moss, got to meet him once when he set up my wife's suspension... but sometimes he gets needlessly into the weeds... This is clearly a problem with the tire construction or curing process. There are no suspension settings that will "fix" that. lol

I am totally open to be proven wrong. I say that early in the video, that as details continue to come out, perhaps I will be proven wrong... What success of Biden? Border control? Wars? Inflation? Leaving our people and equipment behind in Afghanistan? Job market? Rent and home prices? Interest rates? His health and ability to do the job? I am willing to give credit where credit is due, but I honestly can't think of anything... My point about this laying at the feet of Democrats is two-fold. His ideology will emerge at some point. But the rhetoric from the Left, is real. Spending years claiming that Trump is "Literally Hitler" and that if he wins "the country is finished"... Saying he is an existential threat and that he has to be stopped by any means necessary... You don't think that several years of 24/7 spewing of hate and lies and such rhetoric, creates the atmosphere that inspires or incites this kinda stuff? That was the argument that Democrats made about Trump and Jan 6, is it not? And I agree, MTG is a moon-faced halfwit and an embarrassment to our Party. I don't listen to a single thing she says. Ever.

@@SquireSCA Dave, your thoughts are mainline Fox talking points. I watch Jesse too, he’s got a real talent for making things sound doom and gloom. Your President has accomplished quite a lot for his one term. Your economy is doing better than most after the pandemic. His jobs numbers are the highest in decades, also taking into account for the return of jobs suspended from the pandemic. The Dow Jones and the rest of the stock market are the highest in 50 years. Even Fox had to admit that, they were much surprised. He also pardoned all of the federal marijuana possession offences. This was a big thing for many Americans, as now they don’t have those offences on their criminal record when applying for work. This is one of his single gifts to your people. Why he get’s no credit from Fox is beyond me. Weather you agree with this next one, he forgave student loans for many middle class people. Maybe you had loans and didn’t see any of this money? Anyway, it was a great thing to do for the people. Added in this loan forgiveness was a new student loan system that lowered interest rates for new loans. Joe Biden worked with unions and is heavy into bringing manufacturing jobs back to American labor (You gotta respect I spelled that the way you do)... We spell it Labour. Anyway, what about the CHIPS and Science Act? This will help lower cost of electronics and have many of them built in America. He also allowed medicare to negotiate for lower drug costs. He capped insulin for millions of diabetics. He’s working on making the highest earning people pay a higher tax rate. Even 2% increase will bring a billion into your economy. It will take a few years to see the effect of this. He’s helped veterans get better health care. The Pits of burning waste caused many veterans to become very sick and die. His own son died of that. Now, I know you like your guns. I know where you stand. But many Americans agree that there is a solution and that there must be more restrictions. I’ll leave that there. Biden is willing to do more. Dave, Donald Trump is not someone who merely tweets stupid comments. You said the Democrats likened him to Adolf Hitler. I assume you didn’t hear DT talk about immigrants and calling them vermin how they infect the blood of your nation. That is an exact quote from him at his rally. That language is exactly what Hitler used towards the Jews of Europe. Of course the D’s were going to strap him with that name. You know who else called Donald Trump Hitler? His own VP choice JD Vance called him Hitler. Now, that’s funny. The war in Afghanistan and the American exit was a disaster. However, you’re not hearing how DT agreed to that timeline and if Biden didn’t pull troops out when he did, it meant prolonging the war even further. Trump knew that would screw Biden. He did it anyway. Trump is for Trump. I could go on with more examples of how Joe Biden impacted the people. Your borders were open long before Joe Biden, long before. You hear all the exaggerated tales from Trump, MTG and Fox. People have been flooding in for decades. What a laugh to blame Biden alone. How he rescinded this or that. All he did was rescind the cruelty. That was the point under Trump, to make it as cruel as possible for the Migrants. Biden didn’t create any wars, he only reacted to them. Yes, 13 of your military died when exiting Afghanistan . That was a big loss for him, on his watch. I’ll give you that one, even though like I said. Biden was dealt a bad hand from Trump, look it up.

You’re not going to say, these wars would never have happened if Trump was President? That’s what Trump says. He lies with each breath. You think Putin is afraid of Trump? That’s funny. Trump is his Bitch, he has dirt on Trump. I hope it comes out some day. Trump is going to resolve the war in Ukraine in one day? Come On Dave. You have to agree he’s a liar of the greatest order. You can argue each president lies. That’s true. But, not like Trump. He’s the master of telling lies. Look, nobody should shoot at the President or opponents . Your country is going through some tough times, a lot of hatred. The way you describe democrats is not right. They are closer to you than you realise. Stop listening to Fox. They have infected the blood of America.

@@WhiskyStuff Couple things here... Our economy is doing well because on average, America has a strong economy. It was a juggernaut prior to Covid lockdowns. Some of that came back to life after Covid. In fact, most of the "job creation" that you and Biden tout, are merely some of those pre-Covid jobs returning. That's not the same as new jobs creation. Right now the DOW and market in general are soaring, because they are hedging their bets on a Trump victory. In general, the stock market goes up and down but over time its pretty much always increasing in value. Every high is the "new highest its ever been", and it will continue for the most part regardless of who is in the White House. What will change are the ups and downs in between, but overall its typically an upwards trend over time... Layoffs are rampant. I have recruiter friends that say the market right now is the worst its been since the late 90s. Most leftists love calling out the bias of Fox, but they never acknowledge the leftist bias of CNN, BBC, et all... Why? Do you honestly not think that the bulk of the mainstream media isn't just as biased, only to the other side? Is Fox really the only biased one in the bunch, in your mind? Biden didn't forgive student loans. He passed on the payment of those loans to people who didn't take out the loans in the first place, the taxpayer. Loans were not thrust upon college kids. They signed a contract, agreed to the terms and then cried foul when they had to repay it? If an 18 year old cannot be expected to understand how a loan works, then they also don't have the mental capacity to vote, or elect surgery to be a different gender either, IMHO. Passing your loan on to your neighbor who might have already paid back their own student loan, is "fair" on what planet? The highest earning people ALREADY pay the majority of the income taxes. Under Trump's tax cuts, the richest 1% made 23% of the money, but paid 43% of all income taxes. The top 5% of wage earners pay 2/3 of ALL income taxes in the US. They pay their fair share, and a lot more. "Many Americans agree on gun control" is meaningless. Its a Constitutional Right, that says "Shall Not Be Infringed" right there in the law. We have gun control. Guns are already THE most regulated and restricted legal product on the US market, today. Over 8,000 laws on the books. The irony of the claim, is that Biden wants to do more to control guns, except when his son Hunter breaks a gun law that puts other people in prison for 5-10 years, he gets a slap on the wrist? JD calling CRIMINALS as vermin, I have no problem with. The drug cartels, the sex traffickers, the murderers and rapists fleeing prosecution in Mexico and sneaking over the border, absolutely are. You have to look at what he said in context. Its like when the Libs go after Trunp for saying that "Mexico isn't exactly sending us their best and brightest"... The outrage from that! Meanwhile, how many neurosurgeons are sneaking in? Doctors? Physicists? Lawyers? Structural or chemical engineers? Yeah, exactly... We are getting the poorest, the least skilled, and oftentimes the criminals. It's insensitive to say it, but that doesn't make it wrong. 🙂 Trump agreed to the timeline, yes. He didn't agree to leaving behind our people, weapons and equipment. Biden was the guy in charge. He decided HOW we pulled out(giggity) and he had the authority to adjust the timeline if needed, to do it properly. He chose not to. That's on him. Biden took a problem at the border that was at a 3 under Trump, and dialed it up to 11. He didn't cause the problem, he magnified it. His policies, his changes and executive orders had an almost instant and direct impact on illegal border crossings. The numbers don't lie, mi compadre... We are now seeing 250-300k crossing PER MONTH. Every 2 months, we get more illegals than the population of Liverpool or Manchester. Think about that for a minute... Biden was "dealt a bad deal" from Covid lockdowns. China unleashes the plague, and we overreacted and shut everything down. That wasn't Trump's fault. Trump is the one who got the damned vaccines to market that Biden later tried to take credit for and force on people, after saying before the election that he "wouldn't trust the Trump vaccine"... lol

@@WhiskyStuff As an aside, I like that we can discuss this like adults even though we don't agree on much. haha Civility is a lost art, these days...

Clearly, Biden can't win and even if he does, he will be forced to step down within months... He's not the guy for the job whether people agree with his policies or not. If its him or Trump, that's a very easy choice...

I am assuming you had the bike up on a rear stand with the motor running and the wheel spinning with the front wheel stationary? Yeah, the ABS system will throw a code. It will eventually cycle out from riding it. I don't lube my chain like that. I have the bike on a stand, but I don't spray the chain. I just wipe it down with a rag soaked in WD40 and motor oil, and the engine is off and I spin the rear wheel by hand.

@@SquireSCA yeah that’s what happened. I never do that but was in a hurry so I thought I could get away with it. Thanks. I’ll just keep on riding

Yeah, and they cost even more now. Most people aren't gonna spend that for a D2 knife that is awkward to carry anyway... I ended up giving mine away to a family member, I never even carried it.

Yeah, the EU is really cracking down on manufacturers and fining them big $$ if they don't make their vehicles tamper-proof. Within the next 3-5 years, we likely won't be able to tune any bikes.

@@SquireSCAbrakes my heart

Yeah, I feel like there was a better way to get a one handed blade, but not reduce the blade itself...

Doh! That's right, so easy to forget that's there...

I support both. I have lots of US made knives. And Chinese, Japanese, German, Swiss, etc... Your phone was made in China, as are half the things in your house, or the parts inside your home, appliances, your car... or the raw materials used to make those things. Worrying about it won't change anything.

Service ticket from the shop doing the dyno work

Glad that's helping, even though I haven't owned a Triumph in over a year now. haha. I still help people with tuning stuff, just to help out and maybe promote the channel.

It's an awesome bike. But I get bored, and I wanted to go down to one bike now that I have the Corvette, so I sold the 14 and the MT10 and got a Ducati... I have had 35 motorycles... 34 of them since 2006, so this isn't anything new. 🙂

@@SquireSCA I understand, I’ve cut thru a few myself, I’m picking up a 21 zx14r on Friday w/ 2500 miles hence the reason I’m here 😂

@@quadkrazykeith Its a fantastic bike. I enjoyed it on the street and track. But I spend a lot of time in the car now, so 2 bikes didn't make sense. And then I figured, if I am gonna do down to having only one bike, I wanted another Ducati.

If the base map number matches, then yes. But different countries have different base maps, so double check...

Probably depends on what country you are in, but in the US, about 3 grand.

You say that, but China isn't exactly the place you think it is. Most of the people making Case knives, are hardly craftsman, as evidenced by their more often than not, shoddy workmanship... The Chinese government, commie scumbags. The average person in China just trying to make a living, not much different than us.

@@SquireSCA then let's take care of us and let them take care of themselves .. not to mention they don't go out of their way to buy our products and they just care about themselves

@@danmarcell3167 China buys a LOT of things from us. U.S. goods exports to China in 2022 were $154.0 billion, up 1.7 percent ($2.6 billion) from 2021 and up 39 percent from 2012. U.S. goods imports from China totaled $536.3 billion in 2022, up 6.3 percent ($32.0 billion) from 2021, and up 26 percent from 2012. U.S. exports to China account for 7.5 percent of overall U.S. exports in 2022. Additionally, if many of our products were not made there, then many folks would not be able to afford the higher prices that US products cost to make.

@@SquireSCA the goods china buys from the US is raw materials that they just don't have and gets turned into products that get sold back at three times or more of cost No they're not doing it out of the goodness of their heart and their labor is slave to to slave wage and the reason people in the US can only afford their products is because so many in the US won't buy US made and those people lose their jobs and can't even afford to keep a roof over their heads ... you're putting your own people on the street in favor of a government that may decide to kill you one day

@@SquireSCA funny how I can't see my comment

Yeah well, with Tiktok, China is behind that, because they want Biden to stay in office. The Chicoms want a weak president that they can walk all over, not a guy like Trump that will stand up to them and slap the shit out of them with tariffs and sanctions, like he did last time...

I think for the Speed Twin, it didn't have mounts for the bobbins, so I flipped the pitbul stand hooks to the padded bumper side and just put that under the swingarm and lifted it that way.

I decided to scale down a bit, and so I sold the ZX14R to my buddy, and traded in the MT-10 and got a 2024 Ducati Streetfighter... She has a 2022 Monster+, so its an all Ducati family at this time. 🙂

Yeah... I like what GEC is doing with US made, proper steel, top notch fit and finish... I don't even mind the price... its the availability that is a pain in the ass, because collectors(organized hoarders) scoop them all up like the Beanie Babies craze of the 90's....

If you want the faster, better overall bike, get the MT-10. If you want something special, get the Ducati... The heat coming off it is kinda bad.., I put up with it in summer, but it will be welcome in winter. haha

@@SquireSCA Yeah, that's the dilemma. I want something special but concerned about the heat from the Ducati in AZ. Maybe they'll update the looks of the MT-10 in 2025.

The looks of the MT-10 are subjective. It rides and sounds brilliant.

Changing the AFR values to 13.25 doesn't;t do all that much. It can help around idle, but adding fuel to the F or Trim tables is how you would actually richen things up. For a bone stock bike, the changes you made are fine.

I just noticed you have a ts660 map. I’ll be trying that out as I liked the riding mode parameters better than what I did. And I noticed you did add more fuel to it. I’ll report back if my bike explodes lol

Yeah, but after having used both now, the SW is a better product and system...

Sure

You like cheap molded plastic, rather than more grippy and durable G10?

It was more of an update on the new bike, service and mods done and planned. I figured that are thousands of videos showing how to do the oil change on bikes...

@@SquireSCA yes but not on your make and model all good

@@MurrayWendman Honestly, it's the same as on the previous model. The motor is largely the same, process is the same.. Just wasn't thinking of it at the time.

Sure
