I will never live without a garage again. My landlord recently scared the crap out of me by saying the recent repairs to my garage "came down to the quote" on whether he had decided to repair it or tear it down and build a car port instead. I would've moved if it came to that.

Retarded Pimp posted:It needs drained, so it's a good time to change the oil & filter. The side case came off for me after I persuaded it with a rubber hammer and pulled, the magnets will try to hold it, but don't pull too hard in case it lets loose since the coil is attached to it. The gasket should be ok as long as you pull straight out. Well there's not much voltage increase at highway rpm.. guess it's time to do some work. gently caress

Noticed a little cord peeking out today. I feel like a teenager again. Hope my new tire gets here fast...

I think I'm a jerk. I'm kinda looking forward to fall, and rainy weather, because it means I won't have to hunt the parking garage for any spot whatsoever while 30 giant Harleys, 50 scooters, and 6 sumos take up most of the available space. On the other hand, the Harleys almost all park in handicapped stripes, which I do not. So I guess they're not taking up "valuable" spaces.

I'm getting tired of "spaceman" comments from people at work, so it's time to figure out how I can attach this Apollo 11 patch I have to my jacket.

The stripes are there so that a van parked in the handicapped spot has space to deploy a wheelchair lift. Only a tremendous rear end in a top hat would park their bike there. You could snitch on them and the police would happily write a chain of $500 tickets.

Does it work for textile too? As for other mission patches, I'm all for ideas. I just don't think anyone will get the joke. Some of them were having trouble grasping that I was holding a helmet because I rode in today.

Good question. "Textile" is usually nylon, which has enough chemical resistance that the glue solvents shouldn't affect it. I don't know how well it would stick over the long term, though.

PCOS Bill posted:Uh, on the contrary, they are. Man, I need to work on delivering my sarcasm better. Yeah, that's my opinion, too. These fuckstains are parked in almost every single handicap striped section in the garage, even though we're allowed to park in regular car spots and in the other cars-can't-fit areas. But no. Harley McDoinkerton has to park his land yacht directly in the handicap stripes.

I did have the adorable young hipster at the convenience store tell me how "hot" it is that I ride a motorcycle, though. He thinks it's awesome that I'm saving gas/the environment by not driving a giant SUV or whatever.

I got told by a woman at work that in my hi-viz gear I remind her of Bumblebee from Transformers. Which was fine until she made sure to clarify she meant the Michael Bay movies.

Ha! Someone posted a "Bad Drivers of Portland" video, and you guys can see the Tunnel of Death I always refer to. This is a daily occurrence, by the way. Some nimrod always gets in the middle lane (because it's generally going faster) then swerves into either the right or left lanes, drat the consequences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXGqmN18h_I&t=410s

Renaissance Robot posted:I was gonna say Yeah, I mean, I don't know about the emissions, but the mileage is fantastic (~60 mpg). I wouldn't want to funnel my exhaust into my bedroom, or anything. It' s a big consideration for me, though, the mileage. I commute roughly 50 miles a day, 5 days a week, and take trips on the weekends pretty regularly, so ~50mpg+ is kind of my goal.

I need a chaperone when I go into CycleGear. "Okay I'm just here to get my tire mounted because they're the only place that can do it today, no shopping no shopping no sho... okay one pair of gloves, that seam did split on the old pair after two years so maybe let's find an interim pair of something cheap, Bilt makes an okay glove for like $30 on sale... Oh hey these Alpinestars look real nice, $130? Oh fine why not." Oh well, it's not like I go there more than three times a year.

I have not really ever regretted buying from Cyclegear. The manager at mine is pretty awesome. I was walking in the other day to get some MX knee armor and she asked me how I liked my Dainese Four Stroke shorties and I was honest with her "well I liked them but they have a habit of falling apart" cause the palm superfabric had ripped up and left my palm exposed just from normal putting it on and taking it off, never crashed palms down in em. Well she warrantied them since they were within a 2 year window and I walked out with a brand new pair of Dainese Carbon D1 longs for free.

Yeah, I have similar experiences with mine. I'm just trying to not spend a lot of money right now is my problem. The manager at my CG is a real young kid, I don't think he's more than 26-27, but he's got a good head on his shoulders and puts up with a talkative old guy rambling at him, so he's good in my book.
