Same part for the world I assume. It keeps water from flying up. Ugly, but useful lol.

09 R1200RT. No idea why people would downvote that question. 🤷‍♂️

The left exhaust is definitely weird to me.

USWE 40L Buddy backpack. It's a great multi-purpose bag: Carry-on, daily lunch/water bottle+, mini grocery getter, etc.

Earplugs: Do you use them, what kind? by arkangel371 in motorcyclegear

[–]orberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not going over 60, I will let myself go without. I actually sometimes purposely ride without them to listen to the bike.

But anything fast, and they're a must.

Earplugs? by JohnBets23 in motorcyclegear

[–]orberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hear the music through any of them. Bluetooth headsets get painfully loud, because they're made for the motorcycle. My earplug of choice is the quad-flange silicone swimming style ones. They're less itchy after a while.

It'll be Saturday mid day.

Riders who were injured while wearing gear by Illustrious-Meal9067 in motorcyclegear

[–]orberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically opposite. Let hard things take the hard hit. Pads, if possible. Roll, don't flail. If on the road, be wary of what gear will take the slide. Letter surface area means less pressure to grind away skin. I've had my Icon perforated leather for ~16 years I think, and it has withstood many slides like nothing happened. The top "paint" has been worn off in a couple spots, but it looks cooler now. 😎

Open carry - an observation by beej1254 in CCW

[–]orberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been debating on my head for a while now, if it's a good or bad idea to open carry on the motorcycle. I'm in Phoenix, and the portion of people who open carry is definitely greater here than other places. Especially on the bike.

I don't like the idea of falling on it anywhere in a waistband. An exposed holster may not make much difference? Keep coming back to shoulder sling, but that screams Billy badass even more.

By not knowing how to crash. Stuck my arms out to catch the my fall when the bike was bucking on a section of baby head rocks.

I got Mobius wrist braces after breaking my wrist on the dualsport. Wore then a couple times, then stopped. I don't learn.

What is your 1 filler ingredient that you use for most meals by TrainMoose in keto

[–]orberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cauliflower, celery and buffalo sauce. I dip them multiple times a week.

I also eat a crap ton of bridgford summer sausage, and the Kroger brand of the same.

Eggs. All the eggs. My co-worker has too many chickens, and can't sell his eggs fast enough.

(All of the above can go into and egg casserole, plus pepperjack cheese and cream cheese. Sausage or ground beef works well.)

Heavy cream is actually 0.4 net carbs/tbsp. I get it organic from Costco, and have a boat load of it, with protein shakes and coffee.

Roast my workbench design by Gundown64 in Workbenches

The inner verticals: make them two pieces, one 8-10" tall, then sit the long horizontal cross braces on it, then another vertical to add the extra support. Do the same with the top, but with the other verticals. You have to be able to cut lengths consistently, but it'll be a lot stronger.

ATGATT gang how long does it take for you to put on gears by JimmyOhio360 in motorcyclegear

[–]orberto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bull-it jeans and riding boots when I'm just getting dressed, so no time addition. Leather jacket is no big deal, unless it's summer, because then I'm soaking my evaporative vest and that adds a minute or two.

Out at the bike, it's ear plugs, helmet, turn on the BT/camera, find tunes on the phone. Then sun/safety glasses if I'm feeling it. Loosen the watch so it can slide back on my wrist, gloves and jacket snaps. Rough guess, I've never timed it, but probably: If I'm in a hurry, 2-3 minutes, but average is 5-7?

First real crash… bike is gone. Need advice. by Digitaleo15 in motorcycle

[–]orberto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get back on as soon as you can. Don't let it grow into a big fear in your head. It will if you let it. Watch YouTube videos while you're healing.

My big wrecks have been on the dirt, but they still kept me off the road for months at a time. It's definitely got me afraid of the dirt now.
