    That's super cool. I went to a bachelor party last year where we rented an old bar converted AirBnB or something that had a jukebox player that hadn't had the CD's updated since 2002. It was an absolute riot considering there was a pool table, dart boards, and a foosball table there. I've wanted a jukebox since then.

    I've been using the same Logitech Z5500 computer speakers I've had since I thought I had a future playing professional CounterStrike in my parents basement back in about 2005. Coincidently around the same time I signed up with my handle on VFRW and cannot change it (my CS tag at the time), haha. I'm not changing what has proven to work.

    Funny enough I have a new one I bought recently because I wanted to be able to weigh my SV. My dumbass didn't consider that the electronic ones would be auto shut-off and not fit between the PitBull rear stand and by the time I had both the front and rear on the scales... they'd both be shut off lol.

    So one is upstairs in my bathroom next to the toilet to remind myself on Monday morning's how I've f'd up an entire week of trying to be disciplined by screwing it up on the weekend. And the other one is in the cabinet in that same bathroom to remind myself why I should think more before I purchase things on Amazon.

    *Edit--I think I've already mentioned this story here and received solutions. Also, realized it probably doesn't matter much. 387lb's on the ASRA scales. Heavier than I expected.

    You can just weigh one wheel at a time.

    My shop is a mess, but I hope to clean it up tomorrow.

    For weighing, I used a pallet jack from work that had a scale built in. Each tire went onto each fork and measured out at 368lbs at Superbike weight.

    MMMMM In and Out, there I was just sitting on the tail gate and I looked down and said WTF, I could use a tray this size.

    I've been watching Tremors all my life, and I still keep falling into the same traps Burt Gummer has been warning me about. I just always figured you would end up with a false reading given that the bike was pivoted a few degrees differently doing it one wheel at a time.

    Doesn't make an appreciable difference, but you can always roll up on a block of wood for the other wheel.

    I'm more of a 1984 than Van Hagar. :)

    I like them both ways, but nothing beats the originals. I was a big Sammy fan before he joined them and stick rock Three Lock Box on 11. He has had an incredible life and is still performing.

    WVH played every instrument on the first album. Always impresses me. And I dig his sound.

    And I hear some EVH in every guitar solo.

    And to answer myself...I was able to load my buddy's music from decades ago by adding a pic and posting as a vid to the youChoobs. Curious what you guys think.
