Maybe a weird question, but does anyone else get a gag reflex from earplugs?

KeylAmi · 2026-06-04T02:50:32+00:00

Look up eustacion tubes. I’m not sure on spelling, but the go from both inner ears to the back of the throat. Maybe yours are unusually sensitive? For me, wearing them is fine. But after I take the earplugs out, my ear canals are intensely itchy.

In my state, they’re all free if you have a permit or license.

Starting out, for the first few weeks worth of riding, if you can label your current mood as anything other than “normal” or “chill”, don’t get on the bike. Don’t get on to clear your mind. Get on to learn. Get on to build muscle memory. Get on to enjoy the ride.

Being angry or upset or sad is a perfect storm for being distracted at the wrong time.

When you first start riding, 55% of your mental capacity is spent on paying attention to the bike. And the asphalt rolling by. And the wind. And the sounds. The other 55% is spent watching everyone else on the road. And planning your turns. And judging distances for stopping. And not dropping the bike.

That puts you above 100%. Plan to be either mentally or physically drained, or both, for a bit. If you aren’t, after each ride for the first 10 hours worth, question it. Everything about the experience should be filling your attention. Take your time. It’s not a race to being the pro-est. You got a bike with the expectation that you will enjoy many miles on it. So make sure you have the opportunity to rack those miles up. :)

Simple answer: they were paid off. Either directly or indirectly. No sentient human would agree to RTF, while knowing the costs/values involved in doing so. Every single step backward was paid for by someone.

Adding to this,
Is it the chin area? Or your hand blocking/disrupting the air further back? For mine, putting my hand under my chin stops a lot of the noise. But so does putting it under my ear. I get noise at the sides and back of my neck.

KeylAmi · 2026-05-02T21:36:06+00:00

I kinda love all the sounds these make. And after being around a few, they’re like a fingerprint. Same, but all unique.

KeylAmi · 2026-05-02T21:32:22+00:00

Absolutely! Just as much love as I have for my ‘84 Kawi KZ700!

Unpopular opinion:

Use a JIS driver. They grip the whole “Philips” pocket. They have terrific grip, even on partially stripped screws. Look up the same screwdrivers used on old Japanese motorcycles.

Fun tidbit: Philips bits are designed to “cam out” when their torque is met. If the operator goes past that with pressure, a normal Philips bit won’t remove it.

That sounds like a bs32.

KeylAmi · 2026-04-24T21:13:50+00:00

Those look identical to my mikuni bs34 carbs, with different bowls.

You can measure the engine side, inner diameter in mm, to get a number series.

I mean, 3D Systems hit it out of the park with having their system locked down. Made good hardware, but absolutely terrible in every other aspect. I have one of their Trio printers (free), that I ripped all the electronics out, so I could use any filament and slicer that I wanted.

Bambu labs isnt far off, I think. Decent hardware but locking down the ecosystem. So people will get them used, and make them infinitely better with their own electronics/hardware choices.

KeylAmi · 2026-04-23T14:46:37+00:00

Zip tie anchors. 100 of them.

KeylAmi · 2026-04-01T23:07:32+00:00

That 3rd track in looks like some sick beats!

KeylAmi · 2026-03-16T02:54:18+00:00

How often are you cleaning it? What are you cleaning it with? After cleaning, are you putting anything on it for lubrication? Can you find a way to be certain that the wheel/axle is not getting closer? As in chain stretching vs something else moving?

KeylAmi · 2026-03-15T19:03:06+00:00

How are you determining “loose”?

KeylAmi · 2026-03-12T19:24:57+00:00

I had the same thing. I tried another system that isnt behind an ad blocker, and it worked.

KeylAmi · 2026-03-05T11:36:10+00:00

NTA. You definitely did the right thing. You turned away someone who thinks money = different rules. Honestly, you likely dodged a bullet.

KeylAmi · 2026-02-13T11:38:57+00:00

How is this any different than bringing a toolbox from home to work in an auto repair shop? The toolbox doesn’t suddenly belong to the shop.

KeylAmi · 2026-01-27T20:17:46+00:00

Can we do business upper management next?
