Oh boy.. I am in the " Testing my patience" stage.. Awaiting my Boom Vader to arrive and just today I most likely exceeded my pay pal balance. Back Friday sales sure makes outfitting you bike a lot easier! I took advantage of Motosports sale to purchase my pair of Shinko Mobbers 120/70 fron, 130/70 rear.. Ebay an extra pair of 420 master links. 2 2 way battery tender quick connections, 2 pin flat socket plugs. 1 ea for battery tender and 12 volt air compressor. 1 battery charger quick connect. Honda Grom service workshop service manual. gasp

New front rotors and pads for the Chevy.

Went to the big NAPA by the new place. That place gets a big thumbs up.

I expected to have to wait a day for either the rotors or the pads; the MO for my local NAPA, but everything was in stock and they helped carry it out to the Jeep.

Also got a new 10” blade for my compound miter saw from Home Depot. Almost grabbed a Diablo until I saw the price.

Granted, I’d never need to buy another blade again, but I don’t use it enough to justify it.

the diablo is worth it...LOL i put one on a crappy Genesis branded circular saw.... made it go from a piece of crap to a very nice saw....

bogieboy · 11-22-2019, 01:09 PM

I picked up a Crosstour CT8500 Action Camera 4K for $39.99 after using the $20 coupon. I have the CT7000 which take great video but didn't realize it didn't have an external plug for a mic. This one does. Now i'm ready to start shooting some more videos.

Household LED bulbs. A lot of them. The previous owners had a thing for CFL bulbs. We don’t.

Weldangrind · 11-27-2019, 12:13 AM

I found the best deal on Sunbeam dimmable LED's at Dollar Tree. I bet you can guess how much they cost.

Replaced my beat to hell Iphone SE with a Samsung A70.

Two 'Bruised and Reduced' New Age Garage cabinets from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for less than one of New Age's wall cabinets. The tall one is 72"x36"x24", the short one, with a drawer, is 36"x36"x24".

And one NGK spark plug from NAPA for the snowblower at the new place. Yanking the carb tomorrow for a thorough cleaning. I'm loving the new to me NAPA.

I got a little V star 650 for a grand. 11K miles and mint condition. Former owner just did a tune up and oil change.

I made a bad decision, rear tire was low and I chose to ride home anyway rather than air it up. It had maybe 5# of pressure when I pulled in my driveway. Turning in popped the tube I guess. Now it will not hold air. Probably messed up the tire too.

Oh well. Still a good deal and the rear tire is OEM so it is pretty old. May change both just to have fresh rubber.

**JerryHawk250** · 11-27-2019, 09:07 PM

Sweat looking bike.

Too bad on the flat tire though. Still a good deal.

I'll probably catch some flack for this but it's the truth. Never run a street tire that is more than 4yrs old, even if it appears to be in good condition. It could be the difference between life or death so spend that money and replace them.

roundhouse · 11-27-2019, 10:12 PM

I will not give you flack. I changed the tires on my hawk just because they were old. Still had half tread but I could see tiny cracks in the sidewall. A dedicated street bike that will do a lot of highway miles, even more important.

I think I will go with shinko 230 tourmaster tires. Really good reviews. 1000 miles on the 705s on the hawk and they look almost new. Good grip too.

Last year I got a really good deal on Dunlop touring tires for my Intruder 800 from motosport.com. And it was cheaper to buy them as a set.
