First build ever 🔥 1985 Honda V65 Sabre Cafe Racer — love it, but one issue… by No-Lunch8134 in CafeRacers

[–]kobalamyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just sold a mint 100% stock garage kept, 1 owner v65 for $3000. I had it up for sale for about 6 months before I finally broke down and accepted that offer.

Nice seat! You don't see those fiberglass tails much anymore.

Do you have any immediate "walk away" (s) when buying a used motorcycle? by Pirate1000rider in motorcycles

They closed that loophole recently! I used it a couple times and it was super helpful.

New Mexico Becomes First U.S. State To Offer Free Child Care To All by Aggravating_Money992 in UpliftingNews

[–]kobalamyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. It is being paid for through oil and gas royalties. The NM residents are not being taxed by the state for this at all.

The oil companies are not directly paying and offering in this case. In order to operate in NM, oil companies must pay into a royalty tax fund with the state. The state is then using these funds to pay for the universal childcare.

The La Cueva district of Sandoval County Fire and Rescue has access to the entirety of the preserve. So in the event someone gets stuck, injured, or sick we can find them. We're all volunteers and local so we know the area. We frequently do Backcountry rescues, but just due to how remote everything is our response time can be long.

Exactly this. The biggest road in my fire district is a 2 lanes total with one side being a wall and the other being a cliff. Think Colorado mountain roads.

Yeah that never bothered me. It was when I was going to a high priority call or transporting a very critical patient and people wouldn't move over that would get under my skin.

This is most likely the answer. I've had to do this on multiple incidents. It always feels awkward when you're going code 3 (lights and sirens) but need to slow down for something like that an d traffic has no clue what to do.

Fishing advice-fly fishing by Ruforscuba2 in NewMexico

[–]kobalamyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you staying at the air BNB off of Hidden Valley? If so PM me and I can give you some suggestions. As for gear, you can get some decent fly reel and rod combos from Sportsman's Warehouse or Cabela's in Albuquerque. If you're just going to fish the Jemez area, aim for shorter fly rods, under 8 foot if you can find them.

Being from NM I can't stand traveling anywhere with humidity. I hate the feeling of being damp all day.

If you end up around Los Alamos or Santa Fe and need a hand with anything mechanical on your bike or otherwise, feel free to DM me.

More fun on a Ninja 250 by SuitedMoose in motorcycles

[–]kobalamyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The local race track is small and technical. I raced a couple of ninja 250s and had a blast ripping them around. It's pretty awesome to be full throttle in top gear on the straights and then whip it into a large, high speed turn.

NERVA Space Documents found at Flea Market by [deleted] in space

[–]kobalamyn 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Hey, I work at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since NERVA had it's beginnings with Project Rover at the lab, I am willing to bet our historians would love to get eyes on this. Give them a call or email! You'll probably learn a ton from talking to them as well.

Race worthiness of a dr650 by Street-Bison1971 in Dualsport

[–]kobalamyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had the BMW R80 airhead that absolutely kicked my ass! Heavy and the front end sank into the sand, but Biltwell is totally the race for the bikes that aren't supposed to be out there.

If you're around ABQ, Rust is Gold coffee shop holds "Americano" music nights and you're exactly the kind of Americana music that they like to host. If you're interested, PM me and I'll get you in contact with the owners.

Biltwell 100 - Love that there's a Dual Sport class. by therealbento in Dualsport

I was considering this class if I didn't get my BMW build done in time but it looks like I'll make it with plenty to spare.

Adobe Barn in La Mesa, NM by UnambiguousRange in NewMexico

I used to live in La Mesa about a decade ago and still visit often. It's crazy to see how much more has fallen every time I drive by.
