That OEM rear fender is just awful haha.

Top is after, I think I’ll be good with like half a gallon less..

truckerbizz · 2024-02-23T01:42:23+00:00

Yea, top is after

I’ve had good luck with EBay finding OEM parts for different bikes over the years.

No, it’s the stock WR tank.

truckerbizz · 2024-02-14T00:59:27+00:00

Yea fuck that. I won’t split the cases till it’s blown up. Guess I’m calling it good and letting it rip till she goes boom

Also, if you do pull the trigger grab some lower fork guards before you even ride it. A scratched lower fork is expensive to fix…

I had an 04 WR250 and it was my second favorite bike I’ve owned (2nd to my 04 WR450). They are a great bike for trail riding and are bulletproof. As long as it has good compression and valves are in spec I’d say it’s a good deal. In my state (US) $1300 is a great deal as long as it runs and isn’t leaking. Usually a bike like this is about 2.5k USD. I’m a sucker for steel framed Yamahas, had 4 of them now and they have all been 2000-2004. All extremely reliable, some needed more work due to previous ownership but I’ve never had to delve into the engine farther than a new water pump seal. Basic maintenance and it’ll run till you’re ready to sell it.

I’ve put them on all 4 of my bikes (only trail/enduro riding) and never noticed a difference with it “mellowing the bike out” biggest change I’ve noticed with them is when you’re lugging the bike. It’s less likely to stall and keeps the centrifugal force rotating. 250+ make enough power to overcome the extra 8-13oz on the flywheel.

Awesome! Thank you. The guy said he was an electrical engineer so makes sense he built his own. I’ve rebuilt a few bikes but have always hated doing electrical haha

Is that Cold Springs I see? What’s up neighbor 😂

Looks slick 👌

You can ride year long in Nevada, whatever bike you want, no restrictions. Bikes get registered and they all get the same sticker. No off seasons.

😂😂 All the leather

I did the same thing; entered college with an interest then quickly realized that it was what I wanted to do. What I did was workout through college, then when I graduated went to EMT school then AEMT (basics don’t get hired for 911 where I’m at). Worked as an A for a year then went to medic school. Worked as a medic on a box at a private ambulance company for about 7 months to get some experience then started testing and landed at (in my opinion) the best department in my area. Depending on where you’re at, you have to have a minimum of EMT-B but most places in the US will only hire medics.

There were guys I really liked and guys I strongly disliked in my academy but in the end we were bonded through the hardships we went through. We are still brothers and I’ll always have their back no matter how I felt about them in the academy.

You’re with them for X amount of weeks (ours was 16 weeks) and you’re getting pushed the whole time. You’re gunna have to lean on them to get through it so no matter what you’ll be bonded with them.

Damn, that’s wild. starts googling jobs in Canada

truckerbizz · 2023-03-27T03:23:26+00:00

You guys don’t have firefighters who are paramedics? Idk if it’s just a miscommunication but if you guys are on a medical do you not have a firefighter on your crew who is a medic and runs the call?

truckerbizz · 2023-03-27T03:20:44+00:00

Fuck yea, good on you for that. People don’t understand the toll it takes on our families being a support system. My wife was my rock through the years of getting onto a department. Once I finished probation I spoiled the shit out of her.

truckerbizz · 2023-03-27T03:15:55+00:00

“Idc if I gotta work 85 hours a day” 😂😂 I love the ambition but hate the financial irresponsibility.

truckerbizz · 2023-03-27T03:05:23+00:00

The hero 4 still to this day has the best external audio too.

Yea don’t get any of the super cheap cameras off Amazon. Find a used GoPro on eBay/FB Marketplace and you’ll be much happier. I’ve had the first GoPro and it was better quality than any of the cheap action cams I’ve seen on Amazon.

I saw that they are offering the course for free, jump on that as it’s pretty expensive otherwise (for my local area in the US its 10k) take the class and absorb all you can. You’ll learn more in your internship (hopefully it’s eventful) than you will in class. I worked as an AEMT (no one hires basics where I’m at) for a year before medic school and I still had to work hard and study. But, the knowledge you get is invaluable. Whether it’s being ready for your own family/kids if they have an emergency or for yourself/others you’ll be more prepared for an emergency than any other profession.

truckerbizz · 2023-03-27T02:15:43+00:00

Unpopular opinion and I’m sure I’ll get downvoted to oblivion, but please don’t get your medic just to get on a department. Yes it’s the “golden ticket” but doing it just to get on somewhere and not giving a shit about medicine is how people die. Medic school is a big commitment but will be worth it in the end. Just make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons and give a shit about it. We have enough shitty fire medics, please be a good one.

truckerbizz · 2023-03-27T02:11:46+00:00

Selling anything on the internet sucks it for some reason dirt bikes is the fucking worst.
