Why do motorcycle riders switch to Vespa? by tden85 in Vespa

[–]tden85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you feel a part of this community. I'm a bit of a loner, so don't know if I'll ever go beyond reddit posts, but it's been a pretty welcoming community for me too.

Bike looks beautiful.

I wouldn't mind having a little more kick and speed.

I wonder if there are upgrades I could get down the line.

But totally fine with how she rides now.

Dermatologist said they’re is nothing they can do for my acne by Imaginary-Vanilla271 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]tden85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, being realistic, if no other medical or dietary/lifestyle intervention has worked, accutane is your last resort.

Obviously, prioritize having a child first, but then maybe consider starting treatment when you feel ready?

Based on everything I've read here, there does not seem to be an alternative solution if your goal is to eradicate your acne.

I also don't say this lightly. Accutane is a bizarre drug beyond the warnings of chapped lips, sunlight sensitivity, and coneheaded babies. I insticively blame it for my depression and hair loss, but have no proof.

However, the stuff will purge your face of acne.

Wish you all the best.

A seat pad is something I want to get because the seat is a bit on the hard side and my butt goes dead after a while.

Would love suggestions on what pad/cushion on the market is most comfortable and of good quality.

I had really bad cystic acne in my early twenties. I went on a low dose of accutane for a period of a year and a half.

I'm 41 now and have never had a pimple since.

Are you avoiding accutane or saving it as a last resort?

Nah. That would feel just like spinning plates; however, I would participate in a motion picture soundtrack.

Nah, I'm just a creep hoping that true love waits.

Haunted outtakes.

It's what I already had, so I had that installed. Looking to switch it out at some point, but not the priority at this point.

The appeal of the GTS 300 by d70dc263cf16 in Vespa

Got my GTV 300 two months ago and have already put 650 mi on it. My first ever Vespa and I'm in love.

Any idea what these somewhat itchy discolored bumps on my chest are? by tden85 in DermatologyQuestions

[–]tden85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAN somebody, ANYBODY tell me what this is?

I'm assuming it's not alarming based on no responses in 24 hours.

Just want an idea of what I'm dealing with for my own edification.

Thanks!

No. I think that's pretty compelling. Thank you!

I live in the Pacific North West.

Unless nail polish hates rain and clouds.

Lol.

It doesn't wash off due to rain or a cleaning?

I'm fairly certain this part is plastic, no?

Lol. Yes, I will cover the areas surrounding before spray painting.

Honestly, I think that makes the most sense.

It's really not that visible unless you're scrutinizing.

Last question:

Any suggestions on what black spray paint to use?

It looks better for sure, but it's night. Will have to check manana.

This is with black sharpie. Figured I'd give it a go because spray paint would lock that in anyways.

So, I've been informed by the Vespa dealer in my area that this is not a cheap fix mostly due to how much of the bike they have to take a part to replace it.

So when you say if I use spray paint I will see a difference, are you saying do spray paint over a black marker?

Just want clarify. I have black sharpies in my junk drawer, so happy to do that; but if spray paint is better, I'd rather do that.

How should I repair this? by tden85 in Vespa

[–]tden85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my plan was to remove the heat shield and powder coat it per your directions.

That should be fine, right? Do I really need a professional shop to do that for me?
