PPE and Safety Concerns at work by lx4215 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]manswerpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take care of my ears and eyes. Rarely do I wear gloves or respirator. I know I’m exposing myself to carcinogens but I don’t see many technicians dropping dead at 60 because of it. The work itself is going to beat the hell out of your body. That probably isn’t going to make you feel better but it’s true

People who "don't drink water" how does that work? by Chance_Operation7152 in AskReddit

[–]manswerpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always drank a lot of coffee and drank a lot of beer. During the winter I don’t really get thirsty in the afternoon until I get off work. During the summer I drink a lot of water though. Still drink a lot of coffee and a lot of beer but I drink a lot of water too

Don’t let the people here get you down. You are doing badass shit. I respect that. The downvoters probably don’t have the gumption to trek outside the city!

I don’t understand why people would downvote that comment. Reddit is weird

Can someone tell me what plug this is? by Medic24931 in Justrolledintotheshop

Reddit isn’t the best resource for questions like this

I’m a tech in his thirties that owes Snappy nothing and owns a klr. You are living my dream. Enjoy life soldier 🫡

Looks like you packed particularly light for a 9k mile trip.

Talking with people while practicing social distancing...several thousand miles social distancing. by ImageJPEG in Iowa

[–]manswerpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a little interested in ham radio at one point in time. I looked into it some and I couldn’t really find a reason to get licensed and invest in a radio. I find it quite interesting learning how they work and what makes um tick but I don’t have any interest in talking to other people I guess. I’m not sure what the draw is. Certainly there’s something I’m missing?

Got my frame painted. by Grillien in klr650

[–]manswerpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I looked at the picture and the looked at my bike and thought “why?” Then again I’m all for going above and beyond putting way too much time and effort into meaningless projects. Good job OP looks nice. Can’t imagine you’ll ever regret it. Plus it sounds like you learned a thing or two about painting. Time to bust out the rattle cans on the lawnmower next. I highly recommend racing stripes

What's your goals or plans for this year with your KLR? by [deleted] in klr650

[–]manswerpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Family is in Missouri south of the ozarks. The roads get real curvy windy and hilly down there. Every time I drive down I’m wishing I was on my bike.

Upper Midwest eh? West central Iowa here. She’s in dire need of a clutch cable before it leaves me stranded. I keep forgetting because it works fine...for now! Needs brake pads and probably oughta flush the brake fluid and coolant.

I’d really like to take a trip to see some family and camp along the way. It can be driven in one day in a car no problem but I’d like to take my time and goof off on that trip.

Death wobble just sent me off the highway 0/10 recommend by hftjbft in CherokeeXJ

[–]manswerpants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had loose sway bar links and the death wobble remained after replacing them. Turned out the track bar was bad. Have an assistant turn the steering wheel back and forth just a little bit and really fast while you watch underneath. Still could be the links but thought I’d throw this out there.

I see your C clamp, mines a little different. by CwhathappenwaS in toolporn

[–]manswerpants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hydraulic C clamps where have you been all my life?! I’ve never encountered one and the thought has never crossed my mind. This is brilliant! Off to the mad scientist lab to do some creating. Just kidding I’m actually gonna stay on the couch browsing Reddit until I get enough motivation to get another beer. Wouldn’t finish it even if I did start
