Just in case you didn't see, although I don't really see his channel getting shut down:

So I was looking for gauge replacement for my Honda. Found plenty good looking digital ones that has everything but my bike has an analog odometer and trip meter operated by a cable... Is there any adapter that converts the analog signal into digital?
Edit: Never mind that cabe I thought was to detecting gear shift is the digital rotation sensor...

Threw this hot rod together a couple weekends ago, got tired of taking public transportation to class :lol:

Maxing out at about 30 (that's mph), going to mess with the mixture in the carb and see if I can get her 2 horses revving a little higher. It might not look like much but it's a blast to ride around, and uses barely any gas!

Remember to use a hairmet! :lol:
Joke aside, put at least a front suspension and disc brake.

Nice, more details on the engine? I feel like you could get about the same speed pedalling really, really hard though. :D


Also,

Ever feel like playing the piano with some sunglasses? :D

Just whipped together this kit (which is mostly 0805 stuff to get the actual circuit working with a bunch of random smaller form factor pads and components for practice). I can use a lot, lot more practice, but it works. :P

It's just your average 555/4017 led chaser in a circle getting fancy with the counter outputs.

EDIT: missed GF's post before I posted this.

Unfortunately, the only correct response to The Daily Mail, or any variant thereof*, turning up on the doorstep is to tell them to leave, then immediately contact your lawyer to start building a libel case.

They're sensationalist liars who thrive on hate news. If they decide they want to run a smear article, then there's nothing that can possibly be said in an interview that will make them change their minds.

* In fact, any news organisation who arrive uninvited. Any newspaper who had any intention of interviewing fairly would get in contact first. Turning up unannounced is a foot-in-the-door tactic intended to put the interviewee at a disadvantage.
Does that thing kinda look like a big cat to you?

Ah, looks like it's powered by a hybrid chamber driving a captive reciprocating piston! Step by step, we're finally getting there :D

GF, thought you didn't like hybrids....

On the topic of those doodads, I wouldn't bother touching the carby, not much gain there really. Whip the head off, tidy up the ports with a dremel, chuck on a banana pipe if you're really keen, then drop a few teeth on the rear sprocket if it accelerates well. Should up the top speed. Then buy a motorbike because motorbikes are awesome

In other news, howdy again folks

Uhhhhh, nothing exciting by the standards of the forum. Lots of motorbikes, found a totally different career which it seems I'm prodigiously good at, otherwise just work and life!

Better than any soldering I've ever accomplished ;)

How about a nice overview of the P90?

So I changed the blinkers of my bike from 21w bulb to 5w, what do I need to do to get them blink again? Now they are just solid on. I tried changing the resistor of the original blinker control relay but didn't work...
