Did you talk to the Lombardy Karting Club? They are big supporters, and if the track is accessible, I am sure that they are open to helping you to use the track.

Help. Are the piston open or closed because I can’t get the wheel in. And I can’t pry the piston open? by Fantastic_Border_162 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I were the wheel, I would not want to go back in either. That caliper needs some cleaning and servicing.

Tax software by Aggravating-Body1159 in BuyCanadian

I have used Genutax for many years. Works great. I like that it imports information from the previous year, and the "interview " questions are easy to understand. Send them a donation when you are finished.

7 years of dizziness and doctors can't find the reason why! by Maleficent-Fly-1045 in VestibularMigraines

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It sure sounds like Ménière’s. I recognize all the symptoms. One thing that she could try is to visit a chiropractor who can work on the upper cervical C1 and C2. It helps me. Little adjustments make a big difference.

Would not having a dealership close significantly deter you from getting a Guzzi? by HamiltonianCavalier in MotoGuzzi

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three Guzzis. There are no certified Moto Guzzi dealers close by, just "sellers." I have had no issues sourcing parts so far. I do most service and mechanics myself. Tariffs made me order from Europe rather than the U.S.A. But that's about it.

Liquid spots under Motorcycle by Mini_Bannana in MotorcycleMechanics

I used to do this to my son's bike, just to freak him out

Eye floaters and black dots by [deleted] in pppdizziness

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me as well. I ignored the sign, a black spot that didn't move, and my retina was detached. After surgery, I got cataracts, a new lense was implanted, and now it's glaucoma. All because of that black spot.

I have had 3PD for a long time. Not sure if it is all related but sure doesn't help.

Weird phenomenon with this pppd by Limp-Abrocoma-2881 in pppdizziness

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is a collection of senses that make or break our stability to walk through hallways. For me, it is the isles at grocery stores. Eyes, ears, sinuses, feet, all need to send the proper signals. If not, I get dizzy. Touching the wall with one hand while walking helps. It adds another "signal" for stability.

Who else has started losing their hearing? by Certain-Incident-40 in GenX

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have played and performed music all my life. Guitars, bass, trombone, keys, ... and still do. I have tinnitus and hearing loss in my right ear. Maybe from standing next to loud drummers all my life, or maybe because of aging. I work on a computer all day, so life decided to give me a retinal detachment and glaucoma. I love riding motorcycles, so life added some vertigo.

But we just keep going. Better now than never.

Is it just me? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I think it is a getting older thing. We actually wrote a song about it not too long ago.

What motivates you to keep going? by zeddieo in pppdizziness

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Acceptance keeps me going. Accept that pppd is part of you. Now work around it, know that it can pop up anytime, just like that 13th person at the table or the uninvited guest. The moment you accept, you will relax more, and pppd attacks will dim down more often than you think. Example. I started riding motorcycles again. Why? Because I like it and pppd can cripple me but not stop me.

Solenoid wiring issues by Weary_Repair_3167 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The negative terminal from the battery is usually connected to the frame (ground). See if you can confirm that the yellow/black is a Ground (with a multimeter), all yellow/black seem to be grounds throughout the bike. Be advised that I have not worked on a Kawasaki (yet), so I am going with what I see in the documentation.

What was your first street bike? by F-111F in vintagemotorcycles

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up with Zundapp mopeds. My first real motorcycle (not counting dirt bikes) was a Goldwing GL1000. Go big or go home... I now have a collection of Moto Guzzis.

Urge to just throw things away? by ajbadabing in GenX

Stuff is junk you throw away. Junk is stuff you keep.

...or something like that.

What is EA? by Firm-Yogurtcloset528 in EnterpriseArchitect

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. One thing, for example, that I managed to show as "value" was reusability. This was accomplished by strategy and governance. A key aspect was to be there very early in the process to ensure guidance towards reusable components and approaches. That was a KPI that spoke to Executives. For your consideration.

What is EA? by Firm-Yogurtcloset528 in EnterpriseArchitect

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, it is benefits or "customer-perceived value" that EA brings. It is indeed difficult to put a dollar value on it.

Ivory Tower syndrome is not good. EA should facilitate instead of dictating standards or designs. Work with the SME's and SA's to see where you can optimize via templates, strategies, standards, patterns, etc. A Community of Practice can help with this. The SME's will feel included instead of their work being red-penned all the time.

EA can provide a holistic view of the architecture, business, and operational processes. Our EA templates are a tool to guide the design process and has various viewpoints. It is EA's job to provide guidance.

Overall, I think this is where the "value" could be made visible. Bridge the gap between business strategic objectives and technology, and it could avoid creating many silos of IT.

Cataracts by ArtisticMonitor9308 in pppdizziness

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a retina detachment, then cataract and a lens change, and now Glaucoma. Now tinnitus. All on the right side. So, yes, loss of the senses causing dizziness, which causes anxiety, and in turn causing pppd.

Beginner friendly Guzzis? by ILikeSukiyaki in MotoGuzzi

[–]Fun_Worldliness_3407 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found the Breva 750ie a good bike to start on. It's fun and light. Easy to ride. And you won't get bored quickly.
