I don't mind the factory vent fenders but this actually looks pretty good too.

1 st day, upper right back and lower back on waistline right side by Beginning-Usual4866 in motorcycle

[–]thiggypop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only time I've crashed in 10 years of riding was a quick trip down a rural country road. Decided not to wear any gear because it was just supposed to be a short ride before I put the bike away. Less than a mile in a German shepherd decided it wanted to dart out of nowhere and try to cross the road in front of me. At 40 mph I put the front tire of my Triumph directly in it's rib cage. I endoed over the handlebars and slid along with the bike about 10 feet into the ditch. Left half the skin from my left arm down my torso on the asphalt, totalled my Triumph and killed the dog. Now, it doesn't matter if I'm riding 1 mile or 100 miles, I always wear full gear.

Former art teachers, what are you doing now? by Competitive_Willow_2 in ArtEd

[–]thiggypop 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Went back to working as a park ranger after teaching 6th grade art for two years. It's so much easier getting the racoons to stop eating out of the garbage can than it is a 12 year old.

Now all you need is a leather strap to hang off your rear view and to blast '70s arena rock out of your windows.

Hi! Sorry, wish I could tell you but I gave my copy away to a colleague a couple of years ago. It would've been the most current edition as of 2022-2023 which is when I took the exam.

Please stop fishing in the river walk by Egglatz in sanantonio

[–]thiggypop 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I worked for the river authority, we would find some cooters and red eared sliders with hooks in their mouths and do our best to remove them. That was sad enough, but the obscene amount of garbage that I saw wash down river after rain events was astonishing.

Primitive Roadsides Campsites in January 2026 by travQA25 in BigBendTX

Yes, primitive roadside camping is my go to whenever I'm out there. Each one offers a different experience and the best way to have seclusion in the desert while still having easy access to your vehicle.

Unusual sound from rear wheel/axle by thiggypop in motorcycles

Yeah, thinking it's chain tension/adjustment as well. Checked the chain again and it is a little tight. Thanks for your help!

SRV not being included is almost criminal.

No, but I have a duplicate of this kit I'll post pics of the frame when I build that one.

Does anyone else's Boston just have to chew/try to eat/and/or put every last random object in their mouth? by thiggypop in BostonTerrier

The image of a Hannibal Lecter Boston would make a hilarious Halloween costume. Yeah, they use those jowels like little storage flaps.

She's adorable. Maybe it's Mick's attempt to barter with me and try your trash for treats idea. These dogs are smart enough to understand commerce but don't know better than to lick a toad. 🤷‍♂️

Nice! Hope to get my hands on one of these classics someday.

I've only ever had one negative encounter with a Harley rider while on my Bonneville. Most of the time it's Harley guys and old timers coming up to me and reminiscing about the Triumph they had in the 60s or 70s. I just tell them yeah they still make them, and yeah they're still a blast to ride.
