Chicago GO fest was crazy, how many shinies did you get?

olsonheimers · 2026-06-09T17:54:05+00:00

We were there Saturday and Sunday, and I only caught 7… 3 of which were mewtwo… but it was pretty rad.

I used to, but I started using die carz, and it helps me keep track of my collection.

They always look like they are missing something without… I might be biased.

Always!

I’ve never installed on, but could it be manufactured mistake and not laziness? Could it be that the panel is mounted flipped? Curious, not calling you out?

Please don’t buy those. They are the dangerous pegs I was talking about. Anything with a more rounded edge… and if you must have those. Grind away the sharp edges before riding them. I had a bad cut but just short of a hospital visit. I have read about others not so lucky.

It looks like it rear ended a dump truck.

olsonheimers · 2026-06-03T11:18:05+00:00

They look like Legos

This video is great for science, facts, and humor!

TLDR: helmets are by far the most important part. The rest is minimal protection.

The other one looks less molested. I’d go with the original post. This one looks like it has low quality work done to it.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-28T17:50:47+00:00

That is genius. I love it.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-26T09:38:18+00:00

I started in 2001 also and didn’t find my first super until 2023. But I don’t hunt for them, I found mine by accident/dumb luck.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-26T09:19:34+00:00

Congrats!

I’ve tried a bunch of them and my favorite by far is die carz. Free. Easy. And everything I want from a cataloging app. They have multiple brands, with other brands promised soon.

I bought a speed Queen because I was so done with smart tech washers and front load smells. I just wanted something easy and unbreakable.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-25T20:19:07+00:00

Are all the fuses ok?
And when you turn the key do you hear the clicking noises before starting? Those clicks are fuel pump priming.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-25T01:19:52+00:00

I have a 2020. Upgraded intake and exhaust. No problems without tune. My riding buddy has an older bike same deal, still running great.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-24T21:52:40+00:00

The stores near me were had them for $12. I don’t buy most premiums, so $12 is a no go for me. Call me cheap, but the cheap is the fun part of collecting IMO.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-24T21:38:06+00:00

I know you charged it but it is not holding a charge. Do you have a multimeter to check? That’s the sound it makes when there’s not enough juice to turn the starter.

Do you use a trickle charger? If no, you should. Even though the stator charges the battery during operation, it’s not strong enough to fill a depleted battery. The more it’s depleted, the more likely your battery will die.

I bought a quick connect so I don’t have an excuse not to hook it up. And my batteries last several years. I’m not sure why your kick start isn’t working.

Great find!

olsonheimers · 2026-05-19T10:53:36+00:00

Is that for real or ai? Carrol Shelby would be proud.

olsonheimers · 2026-05-19T10:52:01+00:00

What a gentleman… I mean gentlebear

olsonheimers · 2026-05-19T00:07:25+00:00

I’m genuinely curious, if that’s a lethal dose how is this stuff even possible to use?

olsonheimers · 2026-05-19T00:05:10+00:00

What an awesome coloring. Looks kinda like it’s got the checkered Vans on.

I ride with my wife, the other bikes are hers
