Optometrists usually tell you when you make the appointment if you're not supposed to drive afterwards.

So get one of those welder face masks and tape it to the visor of your helmet, you should be fine.

They dilated one eye waaaay more than the other one which was extremely distracting for like four hours. I'm glad I drove.

Was riding some fire roads with a mate on his GS yesterday - he got a low tyre pressure warning for the rear (slow leak) and took out the 12v compressor he'd just bought to air it back up. We tried hooking it up to my battery and nothing. We couldn't get to his battery because the bolts holding the covers on were Torx and I was only able to get one off with a hex key + rubber band, other one was stuck fast. Surprisingly the Topeak bicycle frame pump my cheap KLR riding self brought along did a fairly decent job of getting it up to around 20-25psi - like maybe only took a minute or so? Couldn't spot an obvious punture so we'd ride a while, stop, pump his tyre back up, and continue. When we got to the first servo he wasn't able to get much more pressure in there because of the dumb angle on the valve for his tyre (he had a 90 degree adapter but had left it on another bike) so we continued on another 25 minutes to a bigger town where were able to put more pressure in. There was a bloke with his bonnet popped nearby, so mate went over and tried the 12v compressor on his car battery - also nothing. Thing was DOA. At that point I could hear the leak and tracked it down, so he broke out his tubeless repair kit and installed a plug in short order, which got him the remaining 120ks home without incident. The tyre was near the end of its life anyways so he's gonna fit it with a replacement. Things I learned: 1) Test new accessories before you use them - this was actually a decent brand, motorcycle specific pump 2) If your bike uses dumb Torx fasteners, bring a dumb Torx set (or better yet, replace them with something more universal; all the Torx and JIS bolts I've found on the KLR have been removed and replaced with Allen key) 3) Bicycle pump is not as miserable to use I thought it would be. I splashed out on the fancer Topeak pump with a pressure gauge because I figured it'd do double duty between pushbike and motorbike. 4) Tubeless tyres are pretty great and definitely something I'll consider on my next bike Ethics_Gradient fucked around with this message at 22:06 on Jan 15, 2020 |

The weirdest thing about this story is your mate has a GS that doesn't have at least one 12v accessory port!

I did the needful and put a rack and top box on the Hawk so I can commute and run errands on it. Night and day difference, I love it and love this bike.

It's a GS that didn't have the Touratech catalog thrown at it? wow. Even the Africa twin can have one for the low low price of $80. Had a similar issue with a tirepump after some dirt rides. lovely plastic tire valve failed. rode it 40 miles with 15psi. fuckerrrrr Test your equipment before it's needed. something something prior planning prevents piss poor performance. Old bucket of bolts has on board air now.

<s>It still mystefies me that the NC750 is the only bike I know of (aside from maxi scooters) that has luggage capacity that is completely stock and built into the drat thing. Like is it really so mysterious a concept that you might want to carry poo poo on a motorcycle that everyone besides honda has to charge 500 dollars for the sidecases?</s> Ok, and dressers, I'm actually an idiot.

Razzled posted:i would much rather that bike have extra fuel capacity than the lovely little plastic garbage heaped on top of the actual fuel tank to provide that awkward cramped storage. Yeah, I’d appreciate a place to store smaller stuff like a wallet or whatever, but these bizarrely-shaped storage spots on some of the bikes are sort of ridiculous. Also, if you’re regularly running around town and need to carry groceries and stuff, there’s no better and cheaper solution than a milk crate strapped to the back of the bike (or scoot).

Strife posted:The "New Balance shoes are the most comfortable" of motorcycling. More like the "oh it's a beautiful day it would be awesome to ride my bike to work/go run up the long way to the store instead of taking the car" of motorcycling. Like, I get if you just run local rodes for fun on nice days, track, or haul your dirtbike to the trail. But if you have stuff to carry in your daily life, there is nothing in the world like having a place to put it. It means you can focus on enjoying riding, and forget about the stuff you brought. Edit: Modular flip up helmets are the new balance shoes or motorcycling. Coydog fucked around with this message at 16:19 on Jan 16, 2020 |

Adding luggage that I can swap from bike to bike has transformed them from fun A-to-B transport into practical machines. I take my VFR grocery shopping or to Menards to SAVE BIG MONEY.
