Chain adjusters are rusted solid. Front valve cap is stuck. Rear brake caliper retaining bolts won't budge. Every simple maintenance job I wanted to do today, impossible. gently caress. My. Life.  It shouldn't cost too much to have a shop fix this poo poo, but it pisses me off that I'm having to resort to that.

Went by dealer at lunch to talk about upgrading from the 300 to a 650... Dude was too busy to talk to me. 😖 Not in a rush, but still.

Sounds like lawn care/leaf blowers to clear the parking lot sprayed dirt all over your bike. Happens to me all the time, constantly, and I just go for a ride to Loose/missing screws is also super common for the same reasons. Threadlocker blue and chill.

My neighbour would just use his lawn mower to collect leaves. Chops them up nicely for composting too.

Florida seems a lot more depressing than the last time I was here and I guess it's probably because I had my Fireblade last time. I have been fishing a lot more and catching a bunch of dirty rear end catfish in the channel though.

The inbreeding occurs in Tasmania, which isn't really Australia. It's still a penal colony we just let them think they're free. Though they do have some amazing riding roads.

nsaP posted:"Why is my bike so hard to move? Feels weird in the back" Someone I know rode a brand new GSX-1000F out of the showroof after a pre delivery with 15psi in both front and back tyres. He had a bit of a whinge about the slow steering which was solved once the tyres were properly inflated. It's amazing what a difference just a little bit of air makes.

Noticed a lot of posts on reddit over the years (side note: gently caress reddit) in the bike forums more or less saying "bikes are tough, I dunno if I like it, are bikes for me?" and they annoyed me for no legitimate reason that I can explain. But to me it sounds like a question such as, "Can't really get into country music. Is country music for me?" Do you loving like it? No? Then it's not for you. What's so loving hard about this decision? Why do you need help deciding this? I don't really like country music, it never once occurred to me to ask people who do like country why I don't like country.

Those are people who want to like bikes because they want to be cool, so when they don't like bikes they think maybe they're not cool because obviously cool people ride bikes. They're the same kind of people endlessly posting selfies on social media and looking for validation from their circle of acquaintances.
