Ahh, yes, this is why I always have my papers in order. I have gotten out of quite a few tickets thanks to having all of my info readily available, unlike most bikers. Only break one law at a time and all that.

Coydog posted:Everyone should just get whoever does the KTM commercials to do any and all bike scenes. This is going to sound weird but you're probably putting down your foot too early. You try and get your foot down before the bike has stopped, it moves your foot a few inches back and all of the sudden your hips are in front of your toes and you have effectively zero leverage, and then it's really easy to drop the bike.

The_Raven posted:Geez, that doesn't narrow it down much, does it? I spent some time in the South Bay a few years ago, I liked it a lot, but holy poo poo is it expensive, worse than Boston which is saying something. Those roads up in the hills are amazing though, Monterey, PCH, Big Sur... I could go on. Yep, that's probably where we're heading, although the Texas hill country is almost bordering on normal and a lot cheaper to live. Most of texas is hot as gently caress though. The Bay Area is expensive as poo poo, but the wages are higher to match for many job areas (good luck affording to living here if you don't work in tech or whatever though, unless you're willing to live in some pretty sketchy areas and the cost of living is still ruinous). And we have true year round riding weather all the time, so, that helps.

I wouldn't work for 92k a year in modesto. gently caress that. Yeah, it's an hour and a half from yosemite, but honestly, wasting your time working a job you hate in an area you hate just isn't loving worth it, unless you're making like, enough money to cause a permanent change in your life in the long run. Not working for 3 years is great until you realize that in the long run, you're just extra hosed - now you're 4 years older, no income, no savings, no closer to retirement savings or any sort of fiscal stability, 3 years off work, so good luck getting another job. The reason it might be valuable is work experience - early on, that can be worth far more in returns in the long run than anything else. But honestly, usually jobs like that are "92k list rate *with 58k bonus that no one has ever seen but is theoretically possible if you work at least 7300 hours this year*. Now if it's 250k+, yeah, that might start to get into being worth it. Z3n fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jan 24, 2014 |

Xovaan posted:Skidmarks and Skidmarks. The SkidMarx quote:Now once I got really into vintage tools I quickly realized that I wanted everything in my studio to be vintage right down to the smallest details. At the same time though I did not want anything in here that I was not going to use at least eventually. Finding a few NOS cases of old Elephant Brand pencils was a real score. The erasers are dead but the pencils are fine!

Linedance posted:Well, this is a total score. A photographer friend was doing some UrbEx in a decomissioned refinery and found these vintage 55 gallon drums in an old warehouse (no doubt left there when some lawyer or accountant decided it was too expensive to be useful). I can't quite make out what they say because the amazing patina has faded some of the words printed on the side, but it's something like "keto.e". Whatever it is in there is a really amazing degreaser, great for cleaning up abused vintage tools and greasy hands... you have to be careful though because it can remove the patina. I got some on my carcinogenic plastic Ryobi I was going to discard, and it completely melted the plastic. Didn't do a thing to the real steel tools though. Far better than the wimpy modern "citrus degreaser" I had in the studio. It smells proper, not like some cheap carcinogenic air freshener some accountant would use to make his kitchen smell pretty. Poe's Law stamping on my face, forever.

Slavvy posted:Nah the cops didn't get involved. Dealing with insurance over $50 worth of damage isn't worth it because it'd bollock the no-claims bonus over basically nothing. The woman had no insurance, so gently caress her. No sympathy; when I'm ancient I certainly won't be driving if I'm that inept. It's crazy - here you'd have to make a claim just so uninsured motorist insurance would cover the bills. Glad she's ok and still cool with riding.

I could go riding today but it's like only 55 degrees and I'd have to put on my heated vest or be a bit cold and that just sounds like a lot of work. Also my aerostitch is still a bit wet from riding home from gokarting int he rain last night so uh yeah.

Slavvy posted:She's been under a huge amount of pressure and said sorry and admitted she was being an idiot. So that's that. lovely, dude. I'm a few years older than you, and I can see how a couple of random key events are all that seperated me from being in the same boat - getting lucky with the people I met who helped me get jobs that gave me a leg up and then using that leg up to get a bit farther ahead. Keep working at it - you might feel like a massive failure but from over here, having no real debt is a huge success for you. You can still work so that will help you crawl out of that mess you feel like you're under. PM me if you need someone to chat with when you feel overwhelmed. It'll be ok

Slavvy posted:I routinely see people come into work with a 5-6 year old car and when we tell them it'll take well into four digits to repair whatever is wrong with it they just slam down the cash without blinking. People with children and seemingly ordinary jobs driving random Korean and Japanese cars worth 10-15k on the used market. It just makes no sense, it really is like they're in some club I'm unaware of. Just remember, nearly everyone doing that poo poo is in debt to the loving hilt. I was friends with some people who ran a dealership near a military base and holy gently caress, some of the stories they had...20k GSX-R 600s (after mods) on loan with 20% interest and poo poo.

I can't actually picture myself 10 years from now at all, there's just this event horizon, like the lip of a waterfall, somewhere a couple of years from now. Neither can I, haha. I'm in a completely different place now than I thought I would have been 10 years ago, and I figure I'll be in a completely different place than I expected in 10 years. The first thing you learn is all plans are inevitable unrealistic and probably poo poo :P
