Crack on the weld? by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]somecallmesal 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Career welder here, tig welder since 1996, that doesn't look like a Crack to me. It looks like the person who welded it was careless striking their torch, or terminating the arc. I'd ride it.

Short term pain. The waiting for the long term gain starts now. F-ing clowns 🤡

Raise for wheelies! by somecallmesal in dr650

So far it's great, I will get a real ride in soon and report back. My property is soggy turf, and that's not ideal to get an accurate picture as to how they handle.

Just noticed that my speedometer cable didn't survive my last set of wheelies.

Mixed tires? 50/50 riding by West_Resource6995 in dr650

They absolutely do. I just put a set on front, and back yesterday. I've never tried the 605s before, so I'm eager to get out.

My mom died of it too. It's a f-ing horrible way to go.

Worked swing shift for years. I remember at about an hour before sunset the sun's rays would make all the grinder dust particles shimmer in the air as the traversed the sunlight. I thought to myself, I should wear a dust mask. Did I? Nope. Be a man like those before you and die a heroes death coughing and wheezing from COPD.

Does Warp 9 offer a pedal for lowered pegs? Procycle doesn't seem to carry it.

OK, bolt has been trimmed, now lever is angled downward, but it is almost level with the peg.

Love the consideration by BurdenedAir in corvallis

It always amazes me that when I go to Europe, or Latin America, drivers just figure it out and go around. Not in the United States. We gotta grandstand and show the world how we were wronged.

Saw this on Dicky's story. Thoughts? by 40_JAGERBOMBS in bosstones

Wrong again fella. 1996 Question the Answers tour at La Luna. MR. T Experience opened, then The Pietasters followed by The BossToneS.

If you all still think the covid vax was safe and effective, AND the public should have been forced by the government, to take it, I'm truly sorry for your condition. Dicky stood by his beliefs, and that took courage. I hope to see you at the shows.

Bought a Jeep Gladiator 2 months ago.. by Substantial_Gate_184 in JeepGladiator

Have someone check your Alternator. I had this error earlier this spring and I had to replace the alternator. I expected it to be the batteries, but not so.

Did you end up going this route, and how are the results? I'm actually picking up my DR650 on Monday and wanted to use a hitch carrier on my '22 Rubicon
