I revved it a couple times in the garage like a loser because I had to take the car. I forgot what it sounded like without a helmet on.

christ. Lose weight you fatass suzuki whore.

I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean it. I'll buy you another one. And ... buff that scratch off your tank. The scratch on the spot where, if I'd applied that goofy plastic 'boulevard' thing instead of trying to be cool, you'd be unscratched.

If anybody asks, she rolled into a doorknob.

Pimped my scoot. Blue LED running lights. I think I need more.

I would double check the legality of your scoot pimpage. Blue lights are illegal in a few(most) states.

Then lost one of the battery terminal bolts somewhere in this area. Poked around there with a magnet retriever for 15 minutes with no luck, oh well. Back to the hardware store.

There's no moving parts under the battery box so hopefully it'll fall out on the road in spring.

Man, I did this, 30 miles from home on the side of a busy highway. I looked for an hour and some nice guys that pulled over even dug through the weeds for 15 minutes. Luckily I found a bolt elsewhere on the bike that could be transplanted.

Well done. I achieved similar results a while back with a turntable dust cover that was so scratched and clouded you couldn't see through it. Wet sanding was counter-intuitive, but this was a case where I couldn't have possibly made it look any worse. Works for acrylic watch crystals too--you can turn a junk drawer POS into a showpiece inside of 5 minutes.

What was your technique in this case?

Meguiar's Plastx and an electric sander/polisher with a wool bonnet because I read that foam can scratch some plastics. I don't know how true that is. Technique involved wrestling it down with my feet because I don't have anything to clamp it down with. :shobon: It really was super straightforward.

I honestly thought it was beyond help because of the apparent yellowing. Now I feel dumb for not having done this sooner.

I'm trying to think of a chain cleaning procedure where doing it in your living room wouldn't be a disastrous idea.

^^What did you use to fix them in place? I have some grips to put on and plan on using hairspray if anyone has experience with that.

After my fuel pump died back in February, I finally found a replacement that I could afford and so I rode it today. :hellyeah:

I rode it 1012 miles and turned my 9 day trip into a 7 day one. I woke up in a State Park in Idaho yesterday and had a meal in SLC. When I went to use the bathroom, I had a look at myself in the mirror and could not believe how haggard I looked. Dirty matted down hair, sunburned face, skin breaking out, bloodshot eyes, gear splattered in bug guts. I had just come from "scenic" Idaho and the Salt Lake was a grey muddy disappointment, so I I said fudge it and rode home to the Bay Area overnight. :shobon:

Definitely not north enough. I'd come in through Boise and was hoping to pop into Yellowstone, but the ride was longer than I thought and no camping was available, so I went south instead. That whole leg of the trip was improvised, so that's what happens when you don't plan ahead.
