Cars & Transportation - 22 March 2007

I am looking to buy a Trike. I have a motorcycle license now, but my Wife doesn't.
1) Is There anything special needed for a trike?

2) Whould a standard operator (D) class do it?

3) Does anyone Who now rides a Trike wish they had stayed on 2-wheels? Pros/cons?

4) Have you seen this Can-Am Spyder comming out in Oct.?
(Thoughts?)

I am considering possibly selling/trading off the herd to buy this thing. All I ever get a chance to do anymore are Long distance rides (weather permiting). Even then, mabe only once or twice a year. If I could ride in bad weather with a bit more confidents, I would get more time in the saddle. I/e: Ride to work more, Ride later and earlier in the year, ect. Expecially with a passengers needs to consider.

Any helpful insite would also be greatly apprichiated.

As I said, I've got a 2001 Honda cr125r, and I'm going to have the engine rebuilt because it's didly squat for compression and leaks out the exhaust bad because of blow past. Now I'm only rebuilding the top end, but I'm concerned if considering I'm going this far anyway should I have the bottom end inspected and just go ahead and replace all the gaskets while I'm at it? I want what's best for my bike, and that's why I'd like more than my opinion on this subject. Thanks for your help!!

I have a 2001 Honda cr125, and I'm going to rebuild the engine, so I figured i might as well go all out and replace anything that needs it. So I'm going to put new parts in the clutch also, and I wanted to know if I should just replace the friction plates, or everything, the friction plates, steel plates, and springs. The clutch works just fine, but considering my engine isn't running to well and needs rebuild, I'm planning on working on the clutch also, and just had this question in mind. and it would save money if I only have to replace the friction plates also, that's my main concern. Any help is much appreciated!! Thank you!!

Has anyone tried that gasket repair chemical that you pour in your radiator to seal the leak. I'm pretty sure the 1990 ford aerostar I have has a blown head gasket, it will drive fine for about a week and then will start to overheat, when u check the radiator it is half empty. also have bad compression in the back 2 cylinders. If anyone has ever used that stuff id like to know if it works, or if you have any other ideas I could try.

I bought a car and they did not give me much for my trade. They kept my trade and gave me a loaner. The new car is not here yet. I have already gone through finance and signed power of attorney for them to pay off my loan. Is there a way to get out of the contract? Thanks.

Been shopping around for subs for quite some time. I have my eyes on these two subs because of price but wondering if anyone has any experience with both of theses subs. How's the SQ and SPL. Is the space trade-off worth the other sub, both have the same RMS ratings.

When i push down on the accelerator the car shakes violently but stops immediatley when I stop accelerating. The harder I push down on the accelerator the more violently the car shakes.

Could this simply be a fuel filter or a fuel injection problem?

I went out to get some Blue Loc-tite threadlocker (medium strength) and when I got home I noticed it was Permatex brand blue threadlocker. Is there a difference between these two brands? They seem to offer the same exact stuff. Are they the same company? Is one better than the other? I'm not worried about having the Permatex brand threadlocker. I'm just curious.

Thanks.

I'm going to beef up my 97 turbo eclipse gsx overtime. Going to upgrade the air filter and intake pipe but I was just wondering if that is going to make my engine sound a bit stronger? Its all stock right now and I'm really dissatisfied with its sound! And dont worry, I'm not a "ricer" or anything, I was just wondering. ;-)
