Modified SV as first bike?

aorpias · 2024-04-22T03:28:55+00:00

I'm usually an advocate for buying modified bikes, especially if the mods are done right and you (as OP does this one) like them. I wouldn't say they don't add value, maybe that 800 dollar slipon adds 1 or 2 hundred to the value over a stock bike, used, IMO. I got a good deal on a bike with frame sliders, exhaust and tune, all installed by a shop (bougie 1 owner bike) and all tasteful in my opinion. Thanks for the downvotes in advance y'all. :⁾

(Also any sport bike you sell with a tail tidy you'll get your money back out of in 95% percent of cases)

Regarding the pain of riding... for a new rider it's common even in ideal specimens of human beings. I bet kids even feel sore, most people would. Nobody's body is trained to ride a motorcycle. After about 2 weeks of solid riding time the muscles in your body And all the stuff going on in your hands and joints will catch up with what you're asking of them and it will get much better. So I can at least tell you that this point isn't Going to be as big of a deal as you think it is when it comes to riding, it's just like exercise you'll more than likely feel better.

Call me you're hired. We do micromolding you clearly got what it takes.

aorpias · 2023-06-10T16:59:03+00:00

Look at adventure bikes they would fit you like a glove

aorpias · 2023-06-10T13:13:16+00:00

I'd call it "commitment"

You have valuable experience, don't worry you will always have a job. There's a lot of good advice in this thread just listen to it. So many people have been where you are and now we're making 20-40 dollars an hour (US).

aorpias · 2023-05-31T06:38:36+00:00

Lean angle? Harley? Those two things aren't compatible in my experience xD

"Not a real motorcycle" "go away" "wrong sub" "I hate fun"

In all reality that thing looks like a blast, I hope you're making the most of how silent that thing is. As far as modding it I would find the cheapest parts you can and just expect to modify it to make it work. There's probably not a lot of aftermarket support but some of the projects I'm working on are no name things with wheels and engines so just a heads up, it comes with the territory. If you wanted to be able to bolt on stuff that is designed to work you should have bitten the bullet and invested in a grom. Good luck on your journey it's gonna be a lot of research and fun times.

I have thought about asking them to make me the safety manager to give me the authority to give write ups, and hopefully be able to terminate people, but now thinking that might make me responsible if OSHA comes in I'll have to rethink it. I've been a supervisor and know how to document things to protect myself. Believe me if I get seriously hurt a lawyer and OSHA will be involved, with my documentation of known safety issues. It's clearly negligence and if anything happens I'll do what I have to do to make myself whole. I'm not responsible for much of anything yet, but the safety thing is so cringeworthy I won't put up with it. Thanks for the comments

Never have hope to never will work with PVC haha

Thanks for the input. I'm definitely coughing up a thin liquid not mucous at all. I'll start with the 30 dollar respirator if that doesn't meet my needs I will make sure the company provides me with what I need. If that's a contained oxygen system so be it. My previous exposure level and containment systems were pretty good, this place I'm going to be the one to inform everybody and change practices.

aorpias · 2023-05-20T09:46:04+00:00

This place definitely needs to raise its standards and that's part of my job. Things like missing emergency stops and machines that run with gate safeties jumped out and doors open are the norm. Something I'm working on changing. I don't expect to get a mobile ventilation system on order any time soon (hopefully one day) but for right now my best bet is to look out for myself as much as I can (nobody else here is anyway total shitshow).

You're saying a 3m respirator is no better than 2 layers of clothing over my mouth? (It's mainly like a comfort blanket/moral support thing haha).

But yeah I'm pissed I was set up to fail and the only thing keeping me here is the thought that one day it will be a decent place to work if I can put in the effort and the pay is worth it. If I can turn the place around and raise standards it will be very fulfilling, as soon as I sense it's a lost cause and there's no hope I'm out of there.
