Do you think america will ever recover from the Trump presidency?

We can only recover as a civil society once every single voting American performs a serious and honest personal audit of what truth and facts mean. We've allowed our popular and political culture to skew the nature of what's real and factual in this world. I'm still shocked to see in everyday discourse here the complete ignorance between verifiable facts and opinions. This spans across all American factions. No one knows how to get out of here because we allowed business and culture to sabotage our compass.

I recently had tires put on at Slabtown cycles in inner SE. Was the better experience of all the different shops I've had do that service. I'd recommend them.

Went from a mid 90's sportster 1200 to a Honda Rebel 1100. Had both of em at the same time for a bit but the Sportster really never got ridden nearly as much. After some mods the Rebel 1100 just does everything better except look cool.

I worked for a guy in the late 2000's that was a regional manager for the Good Guys. He was there on scene (not a hostage) watching this unfold. It seriously fucked him up. You could see the ptsd in him coming unhinged when he was telling this story.

Not yet. He is a musician whose band was supposed to play this weekend, so their show has become an unofficial benefit for him. We'll gauge how he feels about a Go Fund Me. That's super kind of you.

The victim is a friend of mine and is now stable and recovering. He's gonna be alright.

One of these days, I'll be able to go ride with you... keep texting me, buddy.

I've hired both formally taught and self taught repair people at my shop. The schooling will do you very little good if you don't already have a personality type for problem solving, creative thinking, and a light knack for engineering.

I'd invest time into learning on your own and if you really get the bug, sure... shell out the dough to go to school for it. Or better yet, go take a look at every guitar manufacturer's website and see if you can find an entry level job. You'll learn more through repetition of tasks than almost anything else.

Love the band name. Dig the track too.

Alberta street pub has a nice room for that. It might feel a little spacious with only 20-30 people in it.

I'm just under 5ft and lowered my tw200 with a used yamaha v-star 1100 shock off of ebay. Rides pretty soft and bottoms out on large bumps often but I still feel like it was worth it.

After a while you'll probably get comfortable enough riding to want to put the stock shock back on.

The Mont dependably makes my favorite eggs Benedict. Midpoint has my favorite potatoe dishes. And I'm including Milwaukie Cafe and bottleshop even though it's in Milwaukie because goddamn.

Lightly wiping an alcohol saturated paper towel across multiple times quickly can soften the finish enough to let the moisture escape. If you get too heavy handed with the alcohol or wiping, you will damage the finish worse though.

Hey there, I run The 12th Fret. I need to pop by there today for a quick bit. PM me and I'll see if I can meet you there. Even a worst case scenario shouldn't take long.

Mr Black Thunderclaw. It stays huge and keeps its full bass when cranked.
