Where are my fellow Pinkies at?
I understand there were 10 pink tanks made and I bought the last one. Curious whereabouts the other 9 are located. Loving mine in Toronto.

Lost: visor for bike helmet - Bloor and Dovercourt / Rusholme
Somehow lost this visor for my bike helmet, probably between Dovercourt Park and Rusholme Avenue area. It's Photo chromatic so can appear clear or darker depending on the sunlight hitting it. Would love to get it back as they don't make them anymore. :(
Thanks!

Both brakes simultaneously go "soft"
Brakes were tight (very effective) and overnight both levers now have to be pulled much further to get the same effect. What would be the cause of this?

Anyone in Toronto can duplicate Motorcyle or other "double sided" keys?
Anyone know anyplace that can dupe the keys for a motorcycle and battery box -- both of which are double-sided? I found one place that can do it "If you have the blanks" but no idea how I'd get the blanks.
Suggestions? Thanks.

Anyone in Toronto can duplicate Beachman keys?
I bought my Beachman used and only got one set of keys. Anyone know anyplace that can dupe the keys for the engine and battery box? I found one place that can do it "If you have the blanks" but no idea how I'd get the blanks.
Suggestions?

Peak Design Out Front Bike Mount on Beachman
So initially I tried to mount the Peak Design Motorcycle Bar Mount on my Beachman but the stem bolt was in the way and it was just a few mm off. I then put the moto mount onto my bicycle and pulled the Out Front Bike Mount off my bike and inverted it and stuck it on the Beachman. Basically, the mounting area is slightly thinner on the bike vs the motorcycle mount.
I used a 1" x 5" (if I remember correctly) piece of pipe from Home Depot (I will rust-proof it now that I know it fits). You could obviously get away with a shorter pipe.
The thing about the Peak Design gear over other brands like Quadlock is that they are extremely secure, all metal, and can be used one handed (as I show in the video). They're also guaranteed for life. The guarantee is rock solid. I've had this mount for 3 years of so now and when I was moving it to the Beachman, I overtightened the mounting bolt and broke it. It's a $1 bolt. I sent PD a photo and two days later a brand new, complete mount arrived via courier. Fantastic service.
EDIT: The pipe in the video is a 5". I replaced it today with a 4.5" galvanized piece so that it won't rust. The threads stick out of either side a tiny bit but not too much.

Peak Design Motorcycle Mount
Has anyone successfully attached a Peak Design Motorcycle Mount to their 64? If so, how did you do it?

Question about battery charging...
So I'm charging my battery for the first time (non-fast charger) and about 10 minutes in, it started making a very loud noise. Sounds like a fan. Is this normal? Also, is there a position I should put the charger in that's better than any other position? Like, side that it should rest on for least heat or something? Thanks!

Alarm question
Just picked up my 64 yesterday and am confused about the fob alarm. When I hit the Lock button, the bike beeps once to confirm it's engaged. However, after a few seconds, it just keeps beeping as if the bike is being moved even though it's on its mid-stand and not being touched.
When I hit the Unlock, it stops, but obviously is no longer engaged.
What am I not understanding here?

I have a friend who has tech-addiction problems. However, she's also a writer. Because she's not very tech-savvy, she's asked if I could somehow make it so that her Viwoods Reader only has Obsidian it and doesn't have access to the Play Store once it's on there.
I am relatively tech-savvy but am a Mac person mostly. I thought of the following but no idea if they will work:
a. Don't enable Play services. Side-load Obsidian.
b. Enable Play services, download Obsidian, de-enable Play services.
c. Enable Play services, install Obsidian. Hide or lock everything else.
d. Something else?
The first option is probably favored as I would be able to do it without getting her to log into her Google account, but no idea if that's possible.
Suggestions?
She literally just wants to use it as a writer deck screen and nothing else and wants to have no ability to use it for anything else or temptation to do so as that will distract from the writing.
Thanks!
