I don't know... Akion walked half the Appalachian Trail with a broken foot. If he says something is uncomfortable, I'm inclined to believe him.

If you're feeling ballsy, weld on the most restrictive muffler you can find in the dead of night.

Collateral Damage posted:I wish I had a reason to ride more. I live too close to work for it to be worthwhile to commute on the bike, so I don't ride during weekdays unless I have to be somewhere after work (that doesn't involve alcohol). You and me both. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a bus to catch.

I literally can't go south or west without crossing a steel grate deck bridge, and I can't go east because of a huge body of water. You get used to them really quickly. Just don't make any sudden movements. Whenever it's raining, I have to do some mental juggling -- do I sit in the rain an extra five minutes to avoid the steel grate bridge, or do I just suck it up and take the quick way home?

Son of a bitch I think I got popped by a speed camera tonight. Pulled away from an intersection, built some speed to get around a taxi, and then two brilliant world-ending flashes. If Chicago's going to start putting up speed cameras near me, driving a 100hp bike is going to get really old really fast.

infraboy posted:I know it's not the only bike that has this but WTF Kawasaki for designing a stupid axle nut that requires a 22mm hex key that I pretty much need to specially order a single hex socket bit to remove it. I do have the motion pro hex axle tool but it doesn't work for removing the nut because it wont insert all the way to to the 22mm section. I know theres ways around it like using a long 22mm nut and wrenching it off but gently caress it. Guess the front dunlop Q3 can wait a couple days. Buy an appropriately sized lug nut from the auto parts store. Buy an appropriately sized socket extension from the auto parts store. Electrical tape them together and congratulate yourself on having saved $Liberia. clutchpuck posted:100% Safety Dance  captainOrbital posted:KLR KLR KLR That's more like it.

Glasses-wearing-nerd supremacy.  On that note, I'm glad my glasses decided to hold up while I was riding around this weekend. One of the nose pads started falling off the other day, and it finally gave up the ghost tonight. I've got a blob of Sugru curing on there now, but for the time being I'm just squinting.

Geirskogul posted:You know that literally any optical shop, be it a private one or even Walmart, will replace those for (usually) free, right? I was an optician for around six years and replacing nosepads was probably a good 20% of my job. Eh. It'd been about three years since my last eye exam and my prescription changed a little bit anyway. This pair is showing their age.

captainOrbital posted:I don't know if you have a guy you like, but if you have your prescription in hand, you can get tons of glasses from zennioptical.com. I love that place. They do take a couple of weeks, but the most expensive pair I've gotten from them has been under $20. I think I have 5 pairs of glasses now, and this has turned into glasseschat! Yay! I'm gonna keep that link. Thanks. I haven't written up the trip yet. I need to find a time to sit down and get my thoughts in order.

loving poo poo loving rain gently caress. It was dry when I left the office. It only started pouring when I got on the stop-and-go traffic interstate. Fortunately, I had the foresight to put my phone in a waterproof pocket beforehand.

visor down -> glasses fog visor up -> glasses get wet Perf boots turn into a loving swamp no matter what. Waterproof overpants only waterproof in the loosest of senses. GoreTex jacket actually worked okay. e. It was raining hard enough that it stung at 30. Riding in heavy rain is a completely different dynamic.

MoraleHazard posted:The glasses thing sucks so hard. Can you wear contacts? Contacts + a breath box has done wonders for me in the rain. As long as I'm moving, no fog on the visor and no glasses to worry about. Also, you are right about riding in heavy rain being a completely different dynamic. Yeah, no can do on the contact lens front. I've been tossing around the idea of getting some cheap clear-lens safety glasses made, treating them with Rain-X, and then keeping them on my bike for just such an occasion. I'd also be down for a private facebook group.
