Here are some ACTUALLY cheap speakers; very few components and lightweight construction. The drivers are decent quality but there is no complete crossover network to back them up.
If you ignore the bad parts, these are very likable and good-looking speakers!
Here are my initial thoughts about the Kershaw Launch 11. Overall, I'd give it top marks for a $100 USA made knife. My only criticism so far is the release button. It is sticky and requires too much force to operate.
I am also comparing it to two other USA made knives the Kershaw Leek which I have carried for four years and the Gerber Auto 06.

This is an awesome micro-sized bit ratchet. I plan to use this in my motorcycle tool kit to replace several other tools in order to make my tool kit as light as possible.

In effort to save weight, I've decided to cut down of the number of tools (and literally cut down the tools) I carry in my dual sport tool kit for my CRF250L. I was able to save quite a significant amount of weight for the cost of an afternoon's work.

Correction as quoted from the Honda Owner's Manual (keep in mind that Honda still says to do the first oil change at 600 miles):
Break-In Period:
During the first 300 miles (500 km) of running, follow these guidelines to ensure your vehicle's future reliability and performance.
● Avoid full-throttle starts and rapid acceleration.
● Avoid hard braking and rapid down-shifts.
● Ride conservatively.
Most people I know recommend a relative hard break in while still avoiding full throttle and aggressive shifting. You can make up your own mind for your own machines.

My CRF finally got to 300 miles so it’s time to dump out the break-in oil and get some fresh stuff in there. How much junk do you think the filter caught?

Here are a few video clips I took while repairing/replacing the oil filter housing and oil cooler gaskets. I also did the preventative maintenance on the electric water pump and thermostat. All torque specs are included.
This car is a 2007 BMW Z4 3.0si Coupé with 103,000 miles. This acts effectively as the 100K mile major service for this engine. I will be replacing the cam seals in the near future as well.
If you want part numbers for the stuff I used, let me know.

2020 CRF250L
29 May 2021 - 216 miles covered on day two
The Minnesota Trans-Wisconsin Adventure Trail (MN’T.W.A.T.) is an 900 mile adventure route of my own creation. Join me on my first camping trip for 2021; also my first motocamping trip ever. This will be a four day adventure ride that will for through, Souther Minnesota, Western Wisconsin, and the Arrowhead Region of Northern Minnesota.

Day two, the most critical day for navigation, starts near Danbury, WI. I head north on WI 35 to Duluth which will then get me to a lunch stop called Island Lake Inn in Island Lake, MN. From here on out, navigation becomes critically important. I am navigating old school style with a compass and a map. Due to running behind schedule, things didn’t go totally to plan so I had to find camp before getting to Brule Lake. My campsite was far from ideal but with light fading, it was the best I could do.
