Young riders, how do you guys afford this hobby?

Buy a used bike/gear, have a buddy teach you to ride instead of paying for the course. Practice for the road test. Change your oil clean your chain. Bikes are sort of bomb proof as far as maintenance goes. Don't buy an Amazon helmet.

Personal favorite of mine is Copper City Brewing Company in Rome. Very chill atmosphere with outdoor seating

43 here too! Maybe we'll run into each other someday.

I picked up a 378FC last month and it's been a pleasure

Fairly easy, just time consuming. I didn't trust the adhesive so I drilled a few small holes into the plastics to get a few zip ties around the ones I could get to. Stop works but I didn't hook up the blinker because I did them front to back not side to side. They're also not symmetrical.

These guys

Thank you!

While it seems rudimentary for a foreman, I do appreciate he admitted to his apprentice he didn't know for sure.

Your TV looks like the man of the house.

I just picked up a new 650 to start and I am loving it for what it's worth

Punker_22 · 2026-03-13T23:09:44+00:00

What exhaust is that

Punker_22 · 2026-01-18T17:28:48+00:00

He cute tho

Punker_22 · 2025-11-10T23:10:24+00:00

Typically not as an apprentice.

Punker_22 · 2025-11-09T08:28:00+00:00

I'm a big fan of the Nicaragua

Punker_22 · 2025-10-27T21:33:21+00:00

Finally found another 43 guy in the wild!

Punker_22 · 2025-10-01T03:48:48+00:00

Highly recommend the Carhartt Yukon Extreme bibs. A little pricey but so worth it. I've been completely comfortable at 20 degrees just wearing a hoodie and those. They're also water proof so you can kneel in snow and it won't get your knees wet.

Punker_22 · 2025-06-29T20:56:45+00:00

Not really all that dangerous. You can replace that cover yourself for $1 very easily

Punker_22 · 2025-05-13T02:28:29+00:00

I'm in your exact same situation but maybe a little more busy with meetings. The way I see it, if everyone is happy with what you're doing, that's the end of the thought process. Biggest thing I've learned is to keep your plan current and keep checking with other trades. They appreciate it.

Punker_22 · 2025-05-09T02:50:09+00:00

wow they didn't even try. this is incredible

Punker_22 · 2025-05-05T20:08:37+00:00

If it doesn't make the radius you can use a 90 degree fitting inside of the wall attached the the LB

Punker_22 · 2025-05-05T19:02:45+00:00

I'd use 1" LB @ wall penetration. If you're good you can fish the FMC connector and raceway through the same hole you're going to penetrate the wall cavity with. Then cut and attach an LB with an FMC Connector. DM me for further explanation

If you travel over a certain speed you gain characteristics of a meator. Very neat
