I thought the manual said something about using a drop or two of silicone lube. I think there's a FAQ on Klim's website.

Supradog posted:Have you done lube or something with the zippers btw? Some of my front 4 chest ventilation zippers are starting to get a little stiff to operate and I don't wanna break a tooth on them. I'm talking about the ones with the big plastic teeth. I haven't, but that seems like a great idea

You gotta lube those zips. They had to stop using that type of zipper for the main zipper of the jacket. It saw way too much wear and no one was responsible enough to lube it consistently. They were getting a ton of warranty claims.

Dear person who hit my parked bike last night and ran without leaving information: I hope you get an incurable, insuppressible version of genital herpes that causes searing pain on your junk for the remainder of your life. Also I hope you lose a leg, and your kid becomes an infamous serial killer or something, I don't know. gently caress you.

I was considering it, but being that I have been riding normal shifters my entire life I'm pretty sure I'll end up redlining the engine at some point and replacing a motor is probably more expensive.

Yesterday I had three near-death experiences (I'm being a little hyperbolic). First was on my very narrow, hasn't been paved that long road. I came around a blind corner to see a very large transport truck, hauling a backhoe, driving BACKWARDS up the road. Got straight, slowed down, went a little onto the grass shoulder just to give him some room, and continued. Then, on my way home, going on a 2-lane city street in the left lane, a woman in a big SUV just started coming over. She was right next to me, she just didn't look until she'd gotten nearly her entire SUV in my lane, and I was riding the line on the oncoming traffic. She saw me, was immediately mortified, and ALMOST PUT DOWN HER PHONE she was so shocked to have nearly murdered someone. Finally, on the last leg of my ride home from work, at a T intersection where my lane and the oncoming lane had right of way, with the other point of the T having a stop, a girl somehow managed to not see the large Ford truck in front of me, or me, and pulled out from the T so perfectly that she just slid in probably a foot or less behind the truck, and about 10' in front of me. I could tell it was an accident because she started throwing her hands around like "HOLY poo poo WHAT THE gently caress DID I JUST DO" for the next 300 feet until she pulled off the road and stopped. I decided to work from home today if this is any indication of the kind of Amateur Hour poo poo I should expect with the holiday weekend.

My commute isn't terrible. The same route off-hours is terrifying. At least the 9-5ers are predictable. Holiday traffic is murderous.

Yesterday I got the "oh poo poo that's my lane" cut up halfway round a motorway junction roundabout. The exit we're going for is two lanes wide, and not twenty yards after getting onto it she pulls back over into the lane she was in. WHYYYYYYYY

A few weeks back I think I was justified in giving the driver the middle finger as i rode past. Doing 40-45, 3 lane road, woman in middle lane realizes her turn is right there and swings over to the right, missing me by inches. Also for the first time took a car in daylight (two firsts) along a horrible road i used to commute down, was weird seeing it from the inside of a car (And in daylight). That road used to terrify me due to being downhill, covered in gravel and sometimes huge puddles (Builders yard at the top, river alongside) along with of course being narrow as poo poo, unlit and a 40.

Garage door opener broke today, wouldn't even stay open while lifted manually. I held the garage door open so my girlfriend could back her Mustang out to run errands with. She swung a little wide pulling out, clipping my bike and knocking it onto its side. Right in front of my eyes.

Now that her Mustang has a taste for blood/steel, I would stay away whenever she pulls out of any parking lots.

Yesterday I was out for a ride, far right lane, light traffic in both the right lanes but the left lane clogged by idiots, doing about 70 in a 55. Two guys on sportbikes with no gear passed me like I was standing still, and a few seconds later as I was about to undertake a guy in the middle lane he jerked hard into my lane, stood on his brake, and flipped me off, like he was punishing me for also being a guy on a bike at the same time. I actually had my camera mounted but it A) Still wobbles too much to get much of a decent video and B) Died literally 30 seconds before it happened.

I love riding around Dahlonega on the "Georgia Gap", which is ironically a chunk of US-129. I'm supposed to be traveling back to my parents' place on an upcoming Friday but flights are unreasonably expensive lately, so I'm holding off until next month and keeping the day off as a "motorcycle holiday".

Aye, I'm quite familiar with Blood Mountain and the run up 60 between Dahonega and Suches. Don't get the idea I can ride worth a drat but I'm familiar with the area.

Update:  Rear fender straightened out, photo before buffing.  Chewed up throttle grip. She hit the thing pretty hard, fucker bounced, but other than some fine hair line scratches on the exhaust that I can't get to show in photographs it's like nothing happened at all. E: oh and a bent brake lever, slight, but that hardly counts for much either. Revvik fucked around with this message at 00:25 on Jun 1, 2016 |
