Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

That’s a good looking seat cover. The only thing is that it looks like there is only one seating position and no room to move? Maybe I am wrong and can’t wait to hear your review.

 

This is the best motorcycle YouTube channel. The bearded mechanic. Craig is one of the best. He is working on a rotary Suzuki which I had never heard of.

Didn't they call that the water Buffalo or am I confusing that with something else?

 

Thanks I think it looks good too, the cover has "carbon fiber" inserts with an orange top stitch. I went with a rear-biased seating position, he asks you where you normally sit and builds it to your spec taking your measurements into account as well. I wanted to add comfort and eliminate forward sliding that was happening with the stock seating angle. Also added some height about 1/2" I think. The shape of the seat and increased width is supposed to be more supportive and rotate/relax your hips. Will see how it feels once I put some miles on it then give an honest review.

 

I just noticed you have the best name ever!!!
Kevin meet Kevin!!! Lol

 

No the water buffalo was a Suzuki GT750 two stroke triple. Called a kettle in Europe.

 

There is a long time dealer near me that has two of those rotary bikes still new in the crate. Back in the day you could not give them away.

 

That's great! Your name is Kevin and you ride motorcycles too - you must be awesome lol

 

I watched his one on trying to get Miss Geico, a tribute chopper with a supercharger going. Pretty good stuff. They kept making fun of American Choppers the whole episode and were breaking and throwing chairs.

 

New tire day. Motoz Tractionator Adventure

 

getting to it today i see

 

Mental health update!
I have had my longest stretch of no anxiety since September of last year. I did have a great summer of 2023 but as soon as winter hit the depression and anxiety hit also. Anyway since quitting smoking pot, working out and eating cleaner I have had no anxiety at all which is awesome. Only set back so far is the pulled muscle in my shoulder blade / neck area. It is getting better but I am sure it will take another week or so to heal up all the way. I am officially in the upper 180’s as far as weight. I am at about 186 so down 20lbs. Still have another 20 lbs to go before I believe I will have a decent body fat %.
I think I may want start working part time. I am going to attend a Navy job fair next Thursday for civilian jobs at the Everett Navy base. Just going to see what they have to offer. If nothing pans out there then I will apply at FEDEX freight. They have jobs moving freight for $21 an hour from 5am to 10am so 5 hours a day and I am home by 10:30 because they are real close to me. Gives me time to ride and do stuff during the day.
On another note my last Grandparent died yesterday morning. His name was Grandpa Bob. He is my mom’s father. He and my grandma did so much for my brother and I when we were young. He was a WW2 veteran that served on a submarine. Then he worked for bell telephone for 30years and retired at the age of 55 and never had to work again. He turned 100yrs old Dec of 2023 so he was 100 +4 months old. He had a good long life so I am not sad at all but it’s more of a celebration. I will miss him but will always remember what he did for me and how he impacted my life.

 

Big difference

 

that's a pretty spiffy lookin seat

 

That was a very good read. Happy for you brother.

 

I'm glad to hear you're doing so much better! Definitely understand the desire to start working a bit again...I can only sit idle for so long.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather, sounds like he lived a hell of a life, and a long one at that.

 

Yes he was a great man. He instilled a great thing about money to me long ago. He always said “if you can’t pay cash for something you can’t afford it” . That is why I do not have any car, bike or credit card payments. He did say that doesn’t include your house payment.
He and my grandma accumulated over 1 million dollars and lived off the dividends and retirement four 45 years and still died with that million. It gets split up between my Mom , aunt and two uncles. He always said he didn’t have much to do with it as my grandmother was the money person.

 

very much haha

 

Quick question. I received the wrong relay flasher from TST. Will it hurt(I know I'll get hyper flash) to run my LED turns on the stock relay? I've already hooked up the lights and don't want to redo them. I just don't want to do any damage.....and I'm not an electrical guy

 

Nah, won't hurt them. Just hyperflash (or no flash, sometimes it'll just go solid light.)
