    ah yeah, that wouldn't be a fair comparison then. i could definitely see a dry clutch combined with slipper clutch needing some adjustment to get used to.

    tbh I was JUST thinking that yesterday on my drive home...thought to myself how depressing it looks with the entire sky gray, with low visibility because of heavy rain. Then thought to myself hey, this is how people in Seattle live, no wonder they have such a high per capita suicide rate

    i would wish this lack of sun on nobody

    i'm nothing if not secure in my masculinity, send it on over!

    Yeah, the road crews around here do some cheap fix on cracks/potholes that never last past the first couple light rains. I would have ridden my bike today except I know on my street there's a few sections of road that either have huge potholes that you can't see because they're filled with water or just slightly overfilled, or there are chunks of asphalt that have been getting ripped out by tires and are just strewn across the road. One of the road crews actually filled a pothole last week that got ruined by the rain...and it's already been torn up, pothole back in full swing.

    tbh hot pink can be a nice accent color. I even know a girl who wrapped her ducati in like a color shifting/neochrome pink wrap and it turned out pretty nice. I'd link a pic but my usual image hosting website is having issues, you can search her up on instagram, @mary_brapp

    Thanks Zac! I didn’t move, but my office location changed so now I work further away from home. I went from a 20 minute commute to 1.5 hours each way (just based on traffic) so that kinda sucks. In other news, I’ve been heading to your town more often. My brother just moved to SD and I’ve been going down to visit. Might ride the bike down one day in the future and give you a holler if you’re around.

    Aarrg I had a root canal on an infected tooth yesterday. (Top left) On antibiotics. Woke me up this morning at 1am. Pain level 10! Fuck so get up and take two ibuprofen and two naproxen. Took about an hour and half for pain to get low enough to try and sleep. Got up this morning and it was just a little sore. By 5pm it was at about an aching 7. Asked my wife if we have any left over pain meds. We found some hydrocodone left over from my oldest some when he had his wisdom teeth pulled. Thank God cause I took one and within 20 min pain is half. Whew it’s tolerable now. Should get better in the next few days but at least I have something for the pain.

    Interesting. Well im still here!

    OOF that does not sound fun, stuff in the mouth can be so painful given its location etc. Watch out with them gnarly pain pills. I took some when I broke my foot on my dirbike after surgery, I could see how those things could be addictive and I had some of the CRAZIEST lucid dreams. Only took them for 1.5 days and went naw im good Ill deal with the pain.

    I don't have a tooth in my head! Lol. I will never suffer from a toothache again. At one time I had a mouth full of gold crowns. One by one they all broke off right at the gum line. Full dentures is the best thing I ever did. I went through a lot of pain and toothaches trying to save my teeth and I ended up loosing them anyway. I get a new set of dentures this Thursday. With my dentures I can eat anything! Lol. I have implants in my lowers so they snap in and can be removed for daily cleaning. I should have do e this years ago. It's a hereditary thing, all of my family lost their teeth at a young age. I fought it until old age.

    If this continues make sure to contact your doctor or dentist. I had a coworker with an abscessed tooth end up in the hospital with a blood infection from their tooth. I had never given it any thought before but the close proximity of your teeth to your brain make for a short path for that infection to get real ugly, real fast. Don't take this lightly or try to just work through it, get help.

    The past couple of summers we have ended up with stretches of over a month of sun and no rain. I was so happy to see the clouds and rain when they showed up... now that we are 4 months in again though I could go for a few days of sun.

    ugh that's a hell of a change to your commute. hopefully once the weathers better you can maybe take the bike to help ease that a bit.

    Yeah, definitely reach out if/when you make it down! Would love to go for a ride and grab some lunch or something

    oof. Washington...looks about right :/

    and here in San Diego, we get absolutely blasted with rain while it's sunny lol. spots on the freeway this morning went from dry to hydroplaning on a dime.

    Pain pills are just that , for pain. I have never ever abused them. Now weed I use that just about everyday. That’s my vice/ addiction.
    I would love to have all my upper teeth removed and have the ones on implants but damn they are very expensive.

    You and I both :rasta:

    I can get pretty bad social anxiety and also have ADHD. Helps me slow my thoughts and feel normal. I also use it recreationally because it makes everything better.

    That is the stuff you said earlier about your mental health, you should look into ketamine therapy. Perfectly legal when prescribed, there's plenty of local places for more information. Helps a lot of people both for pain and depression, among other things
