Myst_erious Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Can you elaborate on "hints" 1 & 2 please? As to why? 4 I've always known I should do but, meh. Hint 1: I'm no expert, but it has something to do with minimizing the vapors you create while pumping. From what I gather, vapors force the fuel out of the hose and into your tank, and the hose actually acts as a return path. So if you're pumping gung-ho fast, you're agitating the fuel in your tank already, causing vapor, which then gets sucked back into the ground. Basically, it's metering what you supposedly put in. I'm no expert on that one, but it seems to work for me. It just sucks when it's 30 below and i'm holding the trigger half-way. Hint 2: Since fuel is stored underground, it remains cool. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel. As it gets warmer it expands... so if you're filling up when it's super hot, your "gallon" may not be an actual gallon.

I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. Voila. And this, this is like my little window to the world, and every minute's a different show. Now I may not understand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. But I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even keel, I guess is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always arriving. It saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride does not require an explanation - just occupants. That's where you guys come in. It's like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the eight-pack, you may get the sixteen-pack, but it's all in what you do with the crayons, the colors, that you're given. And don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines. I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color right off the page. Don't box me in! We're in motion to the ocean. We are not land-locked, I'll tell you that. So where do you want out?" ~Waking Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 With gas prices being horrible as shit i've been thinking i should get one. But i dont think i've ridden enough to do that. Looks good though sometimes you can get some killer deals on bikes and there already not as expensive as cars if you plan on buying the bike with the intent of saving on gas, youre doing it wrong. just the maintenance will offset the saving on fuel.. tires go out every 3 to 6 thousand miles. have to clean and lube the chain every 500 miles. riding gear is expensive. im well over 1k in riding gear and im not fully geared bikes are for people who likes them and enjoys them. not for saving fuel my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you are in a place that gets cold during the winter you need to winterize it every year too. I miss having a bike That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

99vic Posted August 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Interesting gas tips. I'll have to try that Thursday lol. I didn't get the bike to save on gas. Just got it to ride with my pops. More of a bonding thing. I was a knuckle head growing up so I didn't get along with my dad. We just started talking and getting along. (Within the last 3 years) my dad rides a lot so I figured riding with him would be a good thing for the both of us. I wanted a cruiser but the price on this bike was screaming my name lol. Matt bro you don't have a "bike" you sir have a rocket on wheels. Lol REST IN PARADISE BIG RICH (Sqmonte) never forgotten Why do you guys ALWAYS dispute on NUMBERS????? It's such a played out argument, so fucking annoying.... It's 12 fuckin 15's.... It's louder than you... Shut the fuck up... /Rant I'm so jealous, it makes me want to club baby seals. That shit gets down HARD!dont buy from knowledge he will scam you. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/30995-official-knowledge-feedback/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
