    Finally got the Barkbuster hand guards back on my #Triumph. It took me so long to get to it because it involves drilling and slotting the plugs the hand guards mount to. (The stock bars have threaded inserts welded into their ends that the hand guards previously mounted to, but these aftermarket bars don't have those.) #motorcycle

    Glad I'm finally comfortable with using the cutting wheel of my #Dremel at full speed. It didn't take very long at all to do the slotting through the aluminum plugs!

    (Extra mirrors to be removed when I get time.) https://diatom.social/url/2204

    Rainy days are great for cleaning because it won't take away from fun outdoor times. :)

    I wonder if #Subaru will ever bring their CB engine to the US.

    The US is already known for products of poor quality (housing is the best example that comes to mind) and it's only getting worse due to all of the cost cutting.

    If I'm physically uncomfortable with the noise level, all I'm going to do is bolt ASAP.

    Earplugs make malls a lot more bearable. Maybe they should consider stopping it with the engineered loudness* bullshit. :)

    1. Noise in shopping centres - Acoustic Bulletin
      from Juan Negreira
      Shopping centers are frequented not only by people with commercial intentions, but also by visitors with social and leisure purposes. The latter implies that there is often a large circulation in the different spaces of the shopping centre, which are generally large, open-plan, and with high ceilings. In addition to that, there is also often […]

    I kind of feel like motorcycles aren't as exciting to me as they used to be. I enjoy them as a form of transportation and prefer them to cars, and will still use them to go longer distances more quickly, but I feel comfortable with my skill level on the street so I don't get as excited anymore.

    Maybe that dual sport I got is the key to getting me into the sport again. Need to join some novice groups so I can improve my skills with a safety net. 🤔 #motorcycle

    Whenever I see a "sleek and modern" new car, I just think "that thing is probably mostly made of plastic and impossible to work on." :(

    I can finally say that I feel comfortable with who I am. Shame it took me until my mid 30s. 😅

    TIL drum brakes release less brake dust into the atmosphere.

    One pedal driving in electric vehicles reminds me of engine braking on motorcycles, which is much more effective than engine braking on ICE-powered cars.

    The issue of the brake light not turning on when using the braking functionality, which can result in getting rear-ended, also reminds me of how #motorcycle riders often get rear-ended when engine braking without also at least turning on the brake lights.

    The motorcycle case is why I usually at least lightly apply the friction brakes when engine braking, unless it's to maintain speed when going down a steep hill.

    I've noticed this pattern in my life where I start up a bunch of projects and when enough of them get blocked, I don't take any more on because I know I'll get overloaded if several of them get unblocked at the same time. I think #work taught me that pattern. 🤔

    I still don't understand why some people think there should be a single solution to every problem in a given category. Seems arbitrarily limiting and honestly outright dumb. 🤔

    Groupsets don't really mean anything when you use friction shifting. 🤔

    Being bad at driving IS a personality. It even has a name: typical American! >:)

    It's because of how much road designs in the US baby drivers into a false sense of security, which causes their ability to control the vehicle and their decision making skills to atrophy. Also involved are how lax training is and how pitiful licensing is.
