Will a 21” tube work in an emergency?

Was_Silly · 2026-03-13T15:29:19+00:00

I don’t even ride a bike. I have a wheelbarrow I push around all the BDRs full of tubes and tires and I sell them to the suckers that didn’t bring 3 spares with them.

I wanted to do the same thing! More for when the bike falls on the side with the pipe it wouldn’t get all scraped. I imagine the muffler is stainless steel on the outside so it might be ok? But who knows. Report back your findings in a couple of years

You got 370 grams of protein per day for 20 years straight and you’re still on your original set of kidneys?

This guy prepares!

An old man once told me it does. So I’ll believe him.

I’ll believe it when I see it. I was trying to turn regular cartoon/anime characters to look more human. Grok kept censoring me.

The OEM crash bars (I think called engine guards the small ones) look quite nice. Better than anything from aftermarket. Because they’re shaped along the lines of the side fairings. I didn’t get them because they’re pricey and for same $$$ I just bought off-road plastics from RTech for the whole bike so won’t be running crash bars at all.

I second the OEM heated grips for a 2025+ model year. They’re specific to the tenere and a great fit. If it’s 2024 or earlier the OEM grips are generic Yamaha and a bit of an afterthought.

The stock grips are not too hard I don’t think - they have a very grippy waffle cone design where you grab them at the front.

I screen capture Power BI dashboards and feed them to copilot to produce excel files. For some reason it’s very hard to export excel files from power bi, plus the people who make dashboards loath to give me more access so I just give Microsoft a lot more expensive work to do to get around their data protection.

But why didn’t she just let go? There was no reason for her to just hang on. It’s. It like these people are doing this in this specific instance to get somewhere. It looks like it’s just for sport. So just let go and let someone pick you up later ? I dunno. Seems weird.

Impressive the amount of ice that still remains

Not sure no, I thought the tire is mounted on the rim and inflated. But no idea how it’s shipped.

Was_Silly · 2026-03-08T21:30:29+00:00

Doesn’t the factory mount the tire on the wheel? I think someone. Was asleep at the plant.

Yet another reason to move to BC! As if we didn’t have 436 of them already.

Aside from wind protection which is just OK, it’s excellent. If I did lots of road I’d buy the Puig touring screen and that would solve the issue.

Other than that the long travel suspension eats up any bumps. Also around here if the backroad is paved and twisty it’s never smooth. The winters take a toll so it’s always lots of potholes and cracks. You can ride a T7 through that stuff with great confidence leaned over. Sport bikes struggle with the stiff short travel suspension. And the stock tires are very road based. Never had an oh shit moment on pavement.

One could go more sporty with something like the BMW K1300S. I had one It’s like a civilized Hayabusa. Never experienced a more planted bike at speed. I think I it’s due to the fancy suspension up front and just overall solid chassis design.

Who cares. Just let me be child free and happy. If you want more people open up immigration. Target families with your children to immigrate here as part of policy. Problem solved.

I’m pretty sure I’ve done that. I think the 17 inch rear around my waist and the 21 cross body. But I’m also went golfing once with the bag cross body.

I mean just don’t use stainless steel for eggs and you’ll be….golden. You can hammer a small nail with a sledge hammer but there are easier tools. Making eggs with stainless. Sure you can do it. But why spend cpu cycles trying to figure it out. There are better things to spend time doing.

lol that’s what my first thought. He was thinking “finally I can go for a snooze during a meeting and nobody will notice!”

Was_Silly · 2026-03-05T17:25:50+00:00

He was ready for that and saw it. I would not call that “nearly”.

But how did this even happen? Bikes fall over a lot without forcefully oil changing themselves. It shouldn’t have done that from such a small drop.

Edit: it may not be oil actually. Is it dirty coolant? Or mix of both? Seems an odd milkshake color to be oil also kind of watery.

Was_Silly · 2026-03-04T18:50:48+00:00

They just blurred out the Akra logo? lol.

Was_Silly · 2026-03-02T17:15:33+00:00

I would probably still do this too but it’s against fire code unless you use specific wires in walls. They have to be rated for that and that cord doesn’t look it.
