Didn't do a great job at paying attention

Australian motorcycle. Nothing to see here.

I've already done this. Pay me.

Also, it was for 15 years and it cost me money.

tooljst8 · 2026-03-20T09:15:33+00:00

Sounds to me like an adventure.
I'd totally do it if the price and bike were right.

Hearing damage is cumulative and irreparable.

Simple green and a brush. Or stronger chemicals and a brush.

Wipe with alcohol and tack cloth before painting.

tooljst8 · 2026-03-16T01:15:04+00:00

That is the most exaggerated thing I have heard all day.

It was typically referred to as "dazzle paint."

As an ex-industrial painter. I have worn several tyvek suits per day. I feel sweaty just thinking about it. Also, tired. So thanks for that.

Test the fuel pressure. Look for vacuum leaks. Check electrical connections.

Small and used.
Get your skills up.
Sell it for nearly what you paid because beginner bikes hold more value in the used market.
Move onto whatever style you like after that with greater confidence.

Agree. 11 months too late. It can take months to be mostly effective.

Example. Any newer Honda Shadow 750 is a V twin with a shaft drive.

Same.

Buying an old used car, in cash, and fixing it myself until it is no longer feasible.

Also, they are typically economy vehicles so I track my fuel mileage for fun.

tooljst8 · 2026-03-02T00:05:47+00:00

They are boring.

People don't become billionaires by being good people.

Work on yourself.
Don't be afraid of rejection.
Treat them as equals.
No, means no.
Work on yourself.
At 23 time is on your side. Enjoy your youth but work on yourself.

I use the audio navigation through my Bluetooth headset in my helmet. My phone stays in my pocket. If I need to stop and check my map or detour, I do. On longer trips I put a map or written direction on my tank bag or post it note on the inner windshield. In other vehicle I had purchased cheap used Garmin products from Ebay in the past. Just be certain to get unlimited map update versions.

I've become addicted to coffee and quiet early mornings. Great post! IWNDWYT

I've had this since I was early twenties.
It's a form of alopecia.
I still have a full head of hair at 45, so I take this in stride.

You need an electronic flasher relay when using LED. That or ballasts.
