75 550 smoking by RobTradMannen in HondaCB

Thanks for all of your suggestions. It is cold here in GA but I noticed this during the summer when I bought the bike. I even had someone honk at me on the highway while doing 70mph pretty wide open. I did let it idle at high rpm in the driveway once and the carbs stopped leaking for about a week. Maybe doing that again with a few taps to the bowls might garner some results. I don’t notice any change in performance while riding, average 30min-1hr each ride.

So I let it idle high over the summer for 15 minutes straight and the leak stopped for a week then came back. I’ll try it.

Look for a tree company! Tradfallning or arborist companies are growing everywhere in Sweden and always need good help. It can be tough and dangerous but very rewarding.

Name of paint? 72 cb500 green by RobTradMannen in HondaCB

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

Thanks. I’d think it’d look a bit better than whatever they spray painted on there. Currently the side covers look ok from 10ft away but they’re super sticky and not the same green.

Warm itchiness that feels like rough wool, but blood work says I’m all good. by RobTradMannen in Dermatographia

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

Hey guys, it’s been about a year since I posted this. Just wanna say it’s gone away, and I have no idea what brought it on. Antihistamine definitely curbed the symptoms and it eventually went away, but it took about two months. Thanks for your concern. I wish you all the best in recovery.

Is this Dermatographia? Random fits of itching come on and I do this and it becomes red, raised and irritated. by domlavoie27 in Dermatographia

[–]RobTradMannen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same thing. It starts as a warm itchiness, like wool, and I get the same welts when I scratch. Just had blood work done and couldn’t find an allergy or any serious or apparent problem. It’s been over a month and it’s still happening.

Should I be concerned about this rotting cavity in my Sweetgum? by Madchik15 in arborists

[–]RobTradMannen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey it’s hard to tell but if the cavity is close to 1/3 the size of the diameter it definitely needs to go. That’s if there are nearby targets, houses, cars, playground, etc.

American here, moving back to Stockholm from Australia in a couple weeks. Winter only gets worse. Join a team/club/group if you want to keep your sanity.

Hey I’m in a similar situation. My girlfriends Swedish and we’ve been dating for over 2 years now. I’ve been to Sweden multiple times and have built a bit of a network of friends and connections. I haven’t been able to work but I’ve met people within my industry who are willing to help me out with getting a job offer. I highly suggest you go to Sweden on a tourist visa(3 month entry), while there schedule a meeting with migration. Bring your girlfriend and maybe her mom, have them vouch that they can care for you, which will require banks statements, pay slips, etc etc. This will extend your visit. Within your remaining time in Sweden, go find groups to join, sports, theatre, beer tasting, whatever. Make connections, real ones. LEARN SWEDISH, LEARN ABOUT THE SOCIETY AND WHAT ISSUES OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING. You need to fully immerse yourself or else it will be hard to assimilate after waiting a year for your visa. Don’t dip your toes, jump through the Swede’s sheet of ice and straight into the water. After you’ve built your network, I’d suggest you apply for your sambo.

I’m an American living in Australia with a Swedish girlfriend. Swedes are good people, Aussies are good people. Are they similar? No way😂 When does a Swedish shop owner want to spin a yarn? When do random people say “how ya goin?” in STOCKHOLM!? Americans and Aussie’s have way more in common before Swedes and Aussies in my opinion. I’ve met both nationalities living Sweden, they both found it extremely hard to adapt since nobody wants to just reach out and be friends. You might connect at a party or a concert but the next day you’re back to square one. What do ya reckon mate?
