@dietpi.com Always runs great on my little knock off Orange Pi SBCs. Really love this distro. Bare bones, but also very friendly when you wanna install or add something. Also love that all of the networking works on my OPi3b. I dont wanna type dmesg |grep -i brcm again for a while.

Borrowed @kaitlingossett.bsky.social versys 300 (kle300) for one weekend and it came back a bit altered 😬 I found myself thinking it could do for a few changes to make a better off-road machine, and kawasaki released the kle500! Look forward to test riding one to see if it's a worthy upgrade

Yet another shakedown ride proving that I shouldnt have tried to make this a runner, and just tear it down. The ghost of janky fixes had the bike revs hanging at 4k rpm. Blew out an intake gasket, that was double stacked. By the time Im done un-f*cking this bike itll be new anyhow....

Doing some side work on a Suzuki Savage. Regular maintenance on these is tightening the head bolts! Went in for an oil leak issue, and found some worn rocker pads. Waiting on parts from Japan now, unfortunately not overnight.

I posted a while back that I was making my own brake caliper adapter for the 1974 Kawasaki H1 project. I had it materialized by SendCutSend. They threaded it and powder coated it. Less than one week turnaround. I made some extras, have one left that i will sell cheap, with necessary hardware.

If you had a 15 year old who said this to you and seemed to believe it, you’d be up all night panicking about what it’s going to cost you in tutors to get them into the 2nd-to-last ranked public university in your state.

Fortunate enough to ride in the Down and Back ADV Rally this year out of Bloomington, IN. Found out they had a bike show of sorts, the XL rode along Teneres, KTM 890s 🤢, 1250GS, etc, with no problem, and won some style points!

Commissions of your character plus a motorcycle, car, or mecha starting at $200 USD for one figure and one mechanical thing.Now offering character Ice Cream commissions of your character as a traditional ice cream truck ice cream for $20 USD, and you can have them frosty and cold, melted, or anything in between.

@kaitlingossett.bsky.social fashioned up a pegboard for me with the logo created by @ninecurses.bsky.social. Very busy building two Kawi H1s, and pausing briefly to do upgrades / maintenance on they 1977 XL350, so that it will survive a season of enduro, and prove that you don't need to buy a KTM 😜
