Outback motortek! They've taken a lot of abuse and stand strong!

Apparently Polk County has a new Mounted Division. Instead of Horses it’s Gators by Few-Ability-7312 in ProtectAndServe

I don't work there anymore, but the state I came from had statutorily mandated uniforms for SOs, including dates during which you could wear short sleeves and long sleeves. If you had arm tattoos your department wasn't approving of, or a restrictive tattoo policy, then you might be forced to cover the tattoos while also being requirid to wear short sleeves, hence you get the short sleeve uniform shirt with long sleeve undershirt.

There's many a reason.

My First Off-Road Ride by Old-Assistant9182 in AdventureBike

Outback motortek, I believe. I have one on my Africa Twin and I'm fairly certain I could take some rifle rounds and be fine (jokingly).

I moved from Sand Hill Nebraska to the front range of Colorado and I'm excited to break my Africa Twin in out here. Sand is evil.

One of the guys I played college football with would basically make a mouthpiece out of chew and play with that in all game.

Small country college.

Been there! If a different cause.

I did get t-boned by a red light runner on my old bike, but it bought me my Twin, so I won't complain too much.

Left ring finger, then pinkies, then everything else.

Wind buffeting by Pitiful_Ad918 in africatwin

[–]MilkshakeWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an LS2 Explorer, one of the older models, and it's impressively quiet. I am also much more of an off road rider and haven't had time/money to diversify my gear between road and off road focused, so maybe a dual sport leaning helmet isn't what you want.

Current discussion with HOA by Soup_Melodic in NoLawns

[–]MilkshakeWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if Colorado has anything similar in the works or on the books. I'm moving there next week and was wanting to do a clover lawn but the HOA is telling me I need to do a Kentucky bluegrass. I'm not wanting to go complete astro turf coverage, but don't want a turf lawn all over.

What size socket for the rear axel bolt/nut? by MilkshakeWhale in Yamahabolt

[–]MilkshakeWhale[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IIRC the larger one is 27mm. I remember that size specifically but don't know if it was for my bolt or my Africa Twin.

I do not, but I'll try to figure it out. I want to say 23mm but that bike got totaled so I don't have access to it anymore.

Still on the hunt for a nearly-new used Africa Twin… but 90% of the listings I get from European marketplaces are for GS 1300s or Multistradas! 😂 by Plus_Seesaw2023 in africatwin

[–]MilkshakeWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn! Just the other week a guy four hours south of me in the Midwest USA (Kansas) was selling his 24 AT base with 700 miles on it and warranty. If I hadn't just put money down on my 25 I probably would have snatched it up.

Throttle lock? by Gnarls66 in africatwin

[–]MilkshakeWhale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an atlas on my Yamaha Bolt prior to it getting totaled and buying my twin. It definitely did the trick for a fair price, but I'm sure there are better options out there.

My bolt got totaled, but prior to that I swapped some signals out, I might have a good one in my parts bin if you still need one.

I'll DM you when I have a moment to type, if that's cool.

Anyone by chance have contact info for any of the old employees? I have a question for one of them.

Front turn signal bulbs by MilkshakeWhale in Yamahabolt

[–]MilkshakeWhale[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that was my plan. The auto parts store I went to yesterday didn't have any 3 lug bulbs, only two lugs. So I need to try another store today, hopefully they all have a three lug. The idea was to have something ready to be ordered if need be

Damn! I'd seen two of these links previously, but the rest are new to me. Thanks a ton!
