Just saw this after Chuck quoted....congrats

 

Congrats @spencermarkd !!

 

Uh wait a minute....congrats dude!

If you can do so easily without much blowback or falling behind on work, I say go for it.

 

DOH!!!

 

And congrats on becoming a father! Brapp, now it’s time to relive your childhood thru your kid!

Transformers anyone?!?!

 

The absolute audacity of professors is unmatched. Staff on campus are almost always cool and cooperative. Professors though.. sheesh.

Thanks everyone! Been keeping pretty quiet on it overall, but we're really excited. Due date is March 25th, so halfway through! Wife's finally getting out of the nausea stage, which has been a phenomenal change. Wife and I are already arguing over when is appropriate to get them a motorized balance bike

I have her convinced on one of these though, figure that's a solid first two-wheels step: https://us.earlyrider.com/products/super-velio?variant=41197981171844

 

Thanks! My fingers are crossed the kid eventually gets into Lego. I still have all mine from when I was a kid and am still collecting sets. If they aren't I'm going to be crushed in a few years ahaha

 

Hell yeah, I can only imagine how exciting that is! That velio def looks like a good intro to two wheels haha.

 

Ah yeah.... that does hinder things for sure.

 

Unfortunately, this is something I am all too familiar with. I have to remind myself that our office tends to see the worst of them and that the other 95% are pretty reasonable.

Congrats on the kid!

 

My wife and I are talking about kids again now that I have a job… I’m unsure how it’s going to go with me wanting to get into tracking motorcycles next year as well.

 

My fuel light came on a few miles from work on my way home today and I chanced it and rode over 40 miles with the light flashing at me. I ended up filling 5.097 gallons... online the fuel capacity says 5 gallons. I was definitely pushing my luck today!

PS here is my fuelly for anyone who wants to be friends!

Very cool bike, I find it funny that the article acts like this just came out. It's been around since at least 2017 when it was covered in the documentary "Steve McQueen Desert Racer".

 

Well hell. You know how articles and videos just pop up on your feeds!

Reels are annoying to make.

 

Anyone going to buy the Motocompacto?

 

New Ducati Hyper Mono looks tasty.
