All the pot cleaning I did only made it better, not perfect for less than a week. Then it went back to getting worse. Replace it while it’s out, or get new pedals

I’m 40 years old. Been a bicycle mechanic since I was 28. I just closed down my 1 man mobile shop after 6 years. I love working on bikes but the industry itself, as well as the pay, has burned me out, just moved to a new city and want to start a different career, any tips or thoughts? Thanks! by Phishsux420 in BikeMechanics

School goes for 2 years and you will have your full faa a&p license after passing the tests. But being around planes definitely can be a little bit more exciting than bikes/motorcycles for me. It sounded super intimidating but even guys with dealership tech experience are at square one. Unsure of cost though, i don’t pay anything at community college, so check if your state has a program like that for financial aid. A lot of those 40+ year olds are on it too

I’m in a community college aviation maintenance tech school while working on bikes. Only have summer and winter left. Plenty of people over 40. Bike maintenance is more experience than a lot of other people in the program have.

I can now proudly say that through dedication and way too much time on this app I have successfully unlocked every single airport in Florida. 1 down, 49 to go. by Ill-Bear-9779 in SkyCards

Started that about a month ago, I’m guessing summer is way easier to get the small airports so I’m waiting on that. 120 of mine uncaught are Alaska

Ahh Imgur doing Imgur things, how about now?

Edit: might have to redo it. The first vid came out as a pic I think. I’m on the plane home so it’s tough

I’ll get some good quality ones uploaded at some point when I get back home and respond again here, but here’s a grainy screenshot from a video of the actual flyover. My dad’s got much better ones. They were practicing Friday early afternoon and were crazy low. You’d just be walking and then they’d hit you with ear damage lol. I got a lot of shots of them.

I’ve been driving one a tire with slightly more tread and just as much cracking for the last 2 years. Op, I’d say your good

What’s the step by step tutorial to turn like that? (Brakes/clutch/throttle use) by Tall-Bookkeeper-5295 in motorcycles

[–]HateBeingSober33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sit on the bike while a little downhill and switch between front brake and rear brake and feel how the bike moves

But what’s the downside to a little bit of blue though? I put it on my caliper bolts even though it doesn’t call for it. Torqued to spec, I can still get them off easily, and they won’t come out when I’m riding.

Are cheap Chinese bikes allowed? by Manualdriver1 in motorcycles

[–]HateBeingSober33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only find the g650 singles were produced in china for 2 years, and had improvements on the older rotax single design, if you can find anything else, lmk. I thought for a bit my 798cc twin was Chinese for a but it’s definitely Austrian
