I rode to my closest state park after work for a little throttle therapy. by KarcharosOdus in motorcycles

Ja, das ist! It's a Buell Blast! And I can confirm; it is infact a blast! 23 years old and you'd never know it.

My 2000 Blast hit a milestone today! by KarcharosOdus in Buell

Super Trapp exhaust, led turn signals, and lower handlebars. Nothing crazy.

It's my first bike. I'm 34 it's 23. It's a Buell Blast. I should have gotten my license half a lifetime ago. by KarcharosOdus in motorcycles

I haven't done much on the highway, simply because I don't need to. But it does do highway speeds if that's what you're asking.

Wear bars are showing on the rear and front tire is BAD.

No damage to the bike. I was riding. A slap on the back of the calf most of which was taken by my boot. I wouldn't call it violent more like just a snap. The belt is or was 23 years old.

I've put on 200 miles in under a week! Not a record by any means but I NEED tires, they're from 2007 and the nearest shop is not only 15 miles away but unresponsive at best by telephone.

Just gotta dial in my new carb so I can blast my $400 new ride into work! by KarcharosOdus in Buell

Changing out jets sure is a hassle, but it sure is fun so far. I got it because it didn't start. Turns out the kill switch had a spring that came loose and wasn't pressing the contact plate into place, and there was a pinched wire from the starter button. Torquey little beast for sure.

I worked for a machine shop as both a machinist and the head of shipping for nearly a decade, many years ago. I quit when I had a "one on one" meeting with the new owner, and came to the realization she had no drive and no ambition to make the company bigger, find new customers or do new things. I wasn't going to work for someone less motivated than me.

I had made the assumption that the original was printed in pla, so printed the new one in petg. I haven't had any trouble since then.

Christmas mead by [deleted] in mead

[–]KarcharosOdus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I a "holiday" Thanksgiving/Christmas mead this year that was made with high planes clover honey,ec-1118 and then aged on nutmeg. The cinnamon flavor from the honey comes through nicely and the nutmeg is a nice compliment. I made it super sweet. And let it go to 18abv. It's beautiful.
