My elbow has been bleeding steadily, if not in any significant way, for about twelve hours. I feel like this is a kind of accomplishment.

My cannibalpoasts are never popular, and I'll be honest that I think it's gross, but I've talked so much shit on the record at this point that if one of you presented me with a spit-roasted shitlib I wouldn't be able to chicken out.

I hate that place so much. Watching it transform from a place mostly full of people like us into what it is now has been annoying. I'm glad I never paid to get in.
The motorcycle forum there is abominable.

lmao, the size of the rocks I dug out of my elbow was shocking. The shower hurt much worse than the rest of it.
I thought about it, and including motorcycles I crash an average of once every five years since my first bicycle, so not super bad.
Now I have to hide from everyone I know or else they'll comment on my visible injuries and I'll have to scold them for talking about shit I wish they wouldn't.RT:

I was doing pretty well until I ate shit. Crashing takes your psychological game down a few pegs. It wasn't that bad, but I couldn't muster any more hard efforts, after. :peepoShrug:
It was my own fault because I guess I didn't look ahead of me, which you'd rightly assume is an important element for success, but I blame the pigs and the roadwork fags anyway, because it was their gay orange sign what done me in.
I gotta go shower all the dirt and blood off my face. Tomorrow will be more fun than this was, I'm sure.

I ate a carbohydrate yesterday, and I'm feeling it.

Why the heck do people list mental illness in their bio highlights, as if it's categorically and qualitatively equivalent to having a golden retriever, or driving a Camaro?

Nope; only personal ones.

I have run into problems with final detailed assembly (torquing things, cotter pins). I'm missing a washer I need and I am tapped out. I'll be able to afford a washer in a few months. :peepoGiggle:
This concludes the season, for me. I do have tires for my good bike, but I can't have them mounted, and the Ninja nickel-dimed me to zero and still needs more. 🥳
I'm gonna go to bed now, I guess.RT:

My primary fear is the guy who says yes to $300/hr. and then is pissed off when I'm done because he had ignorant expectations.
There's this whole universe of paint correction I *can* do, but I haven't done a lot and I wouldn't dare try on a client car, yet. But if bro wants his paint chips filled in and I say I'm not confident with that, he's gonna be like, "The eight hours of productive work you did is only worth $40 to me, goodbye," and then I have to pack up, crying in his driveway, and slink home to fall asleep in the bathtub listening to 10cc. :pepe_cry:

With any of the 50/50s they eventually get old and won't work right. I'm not sure why.

I have merely done as our ancestors have for ~140 years, and purchased many kit parts from men who own machine shops, to jazz up my flivver.
The bike is cheap. It just runs a loop of coolant through the radiator and back into the engine, with a thermostat in the way. The thermostat just pulses like every 60 seconds and dumps freezing water into the engine, and it's not so great for the machine. This bypass goes around the radiator a little, to always be injecting hot water back into the cold stream, so the bike can more accurately regulate its temperature.
The waterless coolant was something I saw on youtube. A Canadian snowmobile dude showed how he could brutally overheat his sled's engine and it didn't blow any gaskets or anything, because he was running the waterless coolant. I looked it up and it's also eternal, like if you junk the bike take the juice out 'cause it's reusable forever, so I decided hell yeah, never do this ever again, and bought some.
It's all glycols, they say. I don't really understand chemicals, but if it never freezes, never boils, and never goes bad it must be futuristic.

2024-06-07 21:12:02

I have installed the thermal bypass thing correctly, I believe. And hope, too, because I don't think I can try again without new hoses.
I'm going to fill it with distilled water for now while I study how to move to the waterless coolant, and in the meantime, I'll put it back together, wash it, and ride it. :frogc00l:
This bike was mid when I bought it, and kind of overpriced. I've taken it from a dime-a-dozen beginner scoot to something really cool. The thing is now one of the baddest 250s around. I hope to run down the new 400s. :pepe_happy_dance:RT:

Oh yeah, also I rebuilt and upgraded the brakes.
I put orl in it and started it just now. It ran with no weird noises and no red light, so I win.
There's still no coolant in it. The guy who makes the upgrade components I got for it didn't include instructions. I emailed him he sent this long reply with youtube and forum links, so I have to study that, and the new coolant I got requires zero water in the engine, so I have to figure out how to truly purge everything (leaf blower?).
I'll do that stuff tomorrow. Then I shall ride. The rest of what it needs I can sort out on the go. I hope I installed the flywheel key in the correct orientation, or it is gonna be slow.RT:

I'm honestly excited for hyperinflation to fuck up the bank's plan for my car loan.

2024-06-05 23:52:08

OK, home stretch. I'm tired of waiting on a gasket for eternity so I globbed on the RTV and we are moving forward...
So far, I have rebuilt and upgraded the front suspension, shimmed the cush drive, replaced the chain tensioners and chain guard (guard is a nice aluminum piece instead of plastic), upgraded the radiator system to have a bypass (ThermoBob), replaced the levers and mirrors, replaced like every O-ring and bit of rubber on this little gizmo, changed to a +5° advance flywheel key, put in a better shift detent spring, gave it a lithium battery, got new knee grips and windscreen... that might be it. I still have to swap to the Evans waterless coolant, electrify the side reflectors to glow, set the front blinkers to DRL, make sure everything is aligned... there's a lot.
But I'll be riding it soon. :apuRave:

I still haven't finished this, because I keep waiting for parts to arrive.
I did give it a new battery, however. It's like holding a box of animal crackers. I saved multiple pounds with this thing.
Some guy online said it saves 3.6 kg, but that sounds like too much. I mean how much does a bike battery normally weigh, anyhow? ~Ten pounds sounds like an overestimation.
I feel pretty now that I have a cute blue battery. Nobody else can see it, but I know it's there. :pepeGosh:RT:
