I loving hate facebook marketplace. I hate the stupid "is this available" button. I hate having to read a million dumbass thumb typed messages instead of just having a conversation with a potential buyer that deliberately searched for the bike I am selling. I miss craigslist.

I don’t bother with FB Marketplace for the same reason. Kijiji is decent, but maybe it’s still just a Canadian thing.

I'm sitting in an a&e right now because, for the first time, I crashed a customer's bike. Trying to descend a long, downhill winding driveway in soggy conditions and I fell. Why? Because it's a hosed old 690 with a completely random and unpredictable tendency to slam the idle up to about 3500rpm with no warning. So I was descending on a shut throttle with a little bit of rear brake drag when the loving thing surged open right as I was approaching a steep transition between sloped and level ground. It just immediately pushed the front out and flopped me on my rear end, my elbow and knee are shredded but it could've been a lot worse. loving KTM gently caress YOU loving gently caress oval office poo poo gently caress

It heard you talkin' poo poo. Karma To Mechanics. I'm kidding mate, I hope you're ok, that your wounds are superficial and heal quickly. I hope the bike is thoroughly ruined so that its cursed carcass cannot do any more harm, and that your insurance premiums don't get hosed as a result. At least you get the satisfaction of having killed one even if you took some licks doing it.

I'm fine, just some grazing. I was in clothes because I was literally puttering it to the end of the driveway which is maybe 100m at most, specifically because I didn't want to ride the stupid thing at any kind of speed or near cars, never went over 20kmh. It was the perfect storm of poo poo - greasy wet driveway, new front tire, completely hosed clutch, bike that likes to surge unexpectedly. The only right thing I could've done was just not test ride the dumb thing at all. Luckily it is an SM and such a turd that you can't really tell the difference so it's been resolved as nbd.

Shoulda warmed up the tires. J/k I hope the owner don’t try to gently caress you and that it’s over fast. Is there any kind of “you agree not to blame any future problems on this incident” contract?

poo poo week continues. Get booked to do safety checks at a government run bike event. A random fucken guy who did this once, when I wasn't available, decided to volunteer himself to come and 'help' and the bloody organizer told him ok before asking me. Now I have to deal with this oval office trying to have a pissing contest with me every five minutes, doing the first year philosophy student thing where he thinks everything he's learned is somehow news to me. Two cats in a fucken bag.

The Nazi symbolism is bothersome and completely un-surprising, but what's really sticking in my craw is the low amount of effort applied to those red "pinstripes". I give a pass to the flame cutouts on the heatshields because it's hilarious.

That skeleton over the headlight is almost so dumb that it wraps back around to being all right. That’s the nicest thing I can say about that bike. Showed this to our partner who runs a bicycle shop and he said that probably made you (Slavvy) feel the same way Burning Man bikes make him feel.

The little Nazi guy on the headlight has the back of his jaw shaped such that when the headlight is on, it glows so I guess it's like a quick way to verify your light still works?

If you don't start off with a perfectly centered chrome skull on your fork bag it will absolutely impact your drunken pinstripe application.

There are many things to dislike about San Francisco, but all these "self driving" cars are personally one of my least favorite things. Cruise is, in particular, the worst. They deliberately drive recklessly or poorly in order to create traffic scenarios for which they need that all-valuable data. Here's one sitting in a right-hand turn lane (with a red light) with his left-hand blinker on, as two motorcycles approach. After they pass him, the light turns green, he sits there for 5 seconds, waiting for me I am sure. Once I'm close enough, he turns on his right blinker, proceeds into the intersection, then just stops. It's ok, though! They have a warning on the rear hatch  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iricgbSQ1q0 (No sounds because the music I was listening to get flagged for copyright infringement!)

Usually I like talking to randos about my bikes when they ask about them. Most people either had what I'm riding back in the day, or they wanted one, or something like that, and they want to talk/reminisce about it. Today I pulled up at a gas station and a guy in a Ruth Langmore Ford Explorer with a giant "GUNS & GOD, THE ONLY TWO THINGS YOU CAN BELIEVE IN" sticker on it pulls up. I literally went "oh gently caress you" in my helmet when I saw it. Of course he gets out and wants to talk about the goldwing. He had one, an 85, most unreliable bike he's ever had. He made <Local Dealership> take it back it was so bad. Hated every mile on it Uh huh, sure buddy. Why would you get out of your school shooter truck to tell a complete stranger that their motorcycle sucks? Fuckin weirdos.
