1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

This one is a 2004, GL1800. He has a 2014 GL1800 at home and loves it for touring so he decided to keep one here too. It's pretty clean and has just shy of 50k on it, they're like Toyotas though, they go well into the 200k range easily.

 

Nice. Yeah, I'm familiar with their reliability and outstanding handling for a bike that size, just haven't had the opportunity to ride one.

 

Is this still available ?

 

They're surprisingly nimble, I learned to ride on the 2014 Goldwing. It's a very balanced bike, just a bit heavy. But with 1.8L of flat six engine it's still very much a sport bike if you want it to be. Only weird quirk is the shaft drive, it'll torque you upright in a turn if you're not prepared for it.

 

I love that it's much cooler, but not sure how I feel about dragging a welder up to the shop entrance while it's raining

 

Is it really a welder if you don't fire grinder sparks right into its intake when working?

 

Yeah. I've ridden the Yamaha FJRs before. Not as heavy but still pretty beefy compared to what I was used to riding most of the time. If I ever get back into riding, it'll probably be something like the FJR or the Goldwings, just something that can pile on miles and miles with tons of power and range.

 

get it it's own little umbrella

 

Quit being a pussy. The important shit is all insulated. Just use an umbrella and call it good.

 

Jinx!

 

Hollywood security is a joke.
I've walked into stars trailers on sets.
I once sat in George Clooneys 64 Vette eating french fries on the set of ER.
I enjoyed many catered lunches on sets by just walking up and grabbing plate and spork.

 

set security is largely a joke but at a venue like those awards shows I bet it's next level.

I've never worked on a movie set but I've worked on a handful of tv show ones, as long as you come dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt you could probably get away with a lot before anyone found out lol.

 

So true.
Just don't carry a Camera

 

*exposes welder to the rain*



Nothing about being a pussy about it I just didn't realize you ran a hair dryer while you were in the shower.

I meant the machine would quite literally be in the rain.

 

The CAD stuff is going pretty fast and easy though.

 

Couple years of daily use really put 'er through the wringer

 

@Kwikvette

 

On the bright side, if body hair is an issue....it isn't any more

 

Guess it works well if you got another

 

I guess when you can't buy a full size dually and a 40ft gooseneck to haul hay with in your country you still gotta work with whatcha got
