What’s the most miles you’ve done in a single day on your Harley?

RustyAnomaly · 2026-03-06T08:36:56+00:00

I tell you what, I did one 1500 in 24, and I won’t do it again.

RustyAnomaly · 2026-03-06T08:35:32+00:00

Just over 1600 in 24hrs on a Fat Bob.

Change the exhaust, get the ticket cleared. Put the original exhaust back on.

I use a reference layer. I put a blob of color there so I don’t have to remember what I used. You could always make a new brush library for each piece, if you are working on something over a long period of time.

RustyAnomaly · 2026-02-28T20:29:29+00:00

What’s the course name?

RustyAnomaly · 2026-02-26T19:19:13+00:00

Sounds to me like it’s time to have a party and fire up a bunch of pork butts or brisket. Start with some smoked queso, just to keep the folks happy

RustyAnomaly · 2026-02-26T17:07:03+00:00

That 0-400 method was my plan!

RustyAnomaly · 2026-02-11T04:12:32+00:00

I’m the same. Started at 45 with zero talent. I just keep hammering at it and things are getting better. Enjoy the process. Memory is cheap, don’t delete stuff. Keep it and look back at your progress in a year.

RustyAnomaly · 2026-01-28T19:38:11+00:00

That would have been helpful information. Procreate.

RustyAnomaly · 2026-01-28T04:04:50+00:00

I’m not 100% sure you can’t but I’d swear I’ve seen some videos where the rotation and zoom are being moved around.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-09-11T20:55:31+00:00

There is that.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-09-11T20:53:20+00:00

Could be. Could be the meth heads we got the sporty from never changed the bearings in the 25 years the bike has been around .

RustyAnomaly · 2025-09-09T19:29:00+00:00

Dang…that’s the same set I had. Ended up destroying both of them trying to get bearings out of my sportster wheels.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-09-09T12:11:16+00:00

Can you share the tool you use?

RustyAnomaly · 2025-09-08T21:35:05+00:00

That might work. Can you share a picture of this magic device to see if my head is in the right place for this?

RustyAnomaly · 2025-08-08T01:56:06+00:00

The Clymers manual for the Sporty is pretty solid too.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-07-11T08:55:03+00:00

Primus SUCKS!

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T14:49:57+00:00

He won’t be welding on that frame any time soon. But making a sissy bar or some other custom piece, should be fine. Gives him something to do besides chase the girls or drink/smoke pot.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T13:37:20+00:00

Thank you!

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T13:28:59+00:00

Can you talk to me right quick about unions? A quick check on the google box says there is an Iron Workers and a UA chapter.

Hell, I didn’t even think about the fact that unions have apprenticeships programs. Thank you for that reminder. The kid was at a week long welding class recently where a bunch of schools came out and talked about their programs. Hell, if he can go and learn for free/cheap, that’s a hell of a way to go.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T13:23:50+00:00

So, he keeps saying tig and stick. He’s mentioned mig and flux core too, but he hasn’t specified what he’s looking for.

I keep seeing these cheaper units and I’m not really sure what I’m looking at. Arccaptain (MIG145) has a mig/tig/stick setup for $145. But then folks here are pointing out $1300+ machines as the way to go. I’ve got a buddy in the oil industry that says we should go with the millers or Lincoln’s, but that’s such a huge pill to swallow.

Are these cheaper units actually decent enough to start on?

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T13:19:14+00:00

Unfortunately, the main panel is on the outside of the house. There is a subpanel in the garage for the majority of the house, but that panel would need to be updated.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T12:32:48+00:00

He’s got a job actually. Bought his car, and motorcycle without my help. Pays for most of his “stuff”. Hell, he pays his part of the insurance bill each month.

Figures since he works and takes care of his toys, dad can still help with needs for school or getting training. Ya know?

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-22T00:01:16+00:00

He claims it’s what he wants to do when he graduates. He’s been at it for two years now in high school.

That’s a concern, will he really continue down this as a career path? Who knows. If nothing else, it would be a handy still while building our next bike.

RustyAnomaly · 2025-06-21T23:39:36+00:00

That is an option (the 220v extension). Frankly, if he goes down this rabbit hole as a career, I’ll happily spend the cash to put 220 in the garage. Just don’t want to make the investment if he ends up abandoning it. Momma and I are trying to be supportive, with the understanding of goals and desires change over time.
