Trimmed out the Biden stuff. Hard to miss it around here and didn't want to derail motorcycle pics with politics.
This is from a few weeks back. Getting some seat time on the GL1000. Ran into ignition issues last year, but we've since gotten them sorted and been putting on miles.
This was taken near Silver City, UT.
I debated purchasing an integrated comm for my first nice helmet, a Shoei Neotec. I am glad I went to a standalone unit instead. That helmet did not end up working out for me and I was able to move my comm to my next helmet. Otherwise, I would have been stuck with two very expensive paper weights.
That's my thought as well. Things like failing interior plastics, or glass that is no longer being manufactured, or basic body seals rotting away. Even body rotlike folks in cold or salty environments deal with.Those bits add up fast.
Here is a basic maintenance schedule for the Street 750. Harley folks tend to treat cable maintenance as an annual task.
Check out someone like cycle gear for cable lube kits if you don't have a dedicated cycle shop in your local area.
If you plan on maintaining the bike yourself, see if you can get a service manual for your bike. Harley usually has them for $100 or less. They are not cheap, but it can be a lifesaver.
Two things come to mind as long as you aren't noticing any issues with shift into gears.
Your cable could be binding up and needs to be lubricated. They make lube for motorcycle cables that don't attract dirt that work pretty well.
Cable has worn out from lack of lubrication. If lubricating either doesn't help at all, or only helps for a few days, you may need to replace the cable with a new one.
I should comment AFTER I read the article.
If it is for physical sales only I would have to guess we are looking at things like cassette, USB drives and limited releases on other obscure formats like minidisk.
I'd assume it is for digital downloads.
If I am not purchasing LPs, I try to purchase MP3s/FLAC that I can copy and move around as I please.
It's one of those things where the money sounds good until you realize you also have to live somewhere expensive to get it.
I could conceivably move to somewhere like ND and save a ton of money on housing and the necessities, but the limited job market could also mean that I would be unable to continue in the same career.
And switching jobs sound great, unless you're in an industry seeing large changes post-pandemic. It's certainly kept me from jumping ship. At least until I see my area of work stabilize.
To add to it, I am doing alright overall. But my student loans kicked back in, food prices have climbed, even my monthly utilities have increased as of a few months ago. So I might not be worried about keeping the lights on, I do feel the pinch and it doesn't make me feel overjoyed about the economy.
Counting from the age of 18 to now, I have had 18 actual jobs in the last 30 years. A couple were times when I had two jobs at the same time, and I didn't count side gigs I had.
I would guess that I've had a lot of jobs, but I am now in tech,so it doesn't seem to hurt me like it did when I worked other industries.
Thanks for the clarification. I read it quickly earlier and missed the part where the amendment was voted down.
So essentially they didn't address one of the biggest issues, what to do with the remaining embryos. Seems pretty on brand for conservative legislation.
Or close to it. This is actually my son's GL1000. He bought this to replace his first motorcycle, also a 1978 Gold Wing. It has under 30k on the odo but suffered from being parked with a full tank of gas around 2001. In the end we took parts from the other GL, a 100k mi beater, to get this one going. It's a sweet sounding motor, no chain slap, and much smoother running. Now we are doing the shakedown runs before the end of the riding season.
To be honest you get kind of used to seeing certain things in rural places. It honestly wasn't the focus of the photo, but I realized that some folks get extra sensitive to things, so I went and edited the photo and updated it.
