Every place with anything mildly technical seems to have been overrun by fucking retards who are too lazy to read anything and too dumb to understand it if they did. I constantly see even dumber shit, but this one was special since it's a medical professional *AND* got fucking snarky with me about it, AND didn't know WTF to do. A trifecta. I'm thinking about leaving the Rivian forum because goddamn R2 buyers are retarded lazy fucks and ruining everything because they literally argue that ChatGPT's reading of the manual says something, and it's wrong. It all started when we let AOL connect to the internet, which really was a bad decision.

Nurse is going to use raw, unfiltered GLP-1 that is untested. Asks for advice. Get snippety with me about it all, she's super smart, but also can't convert grams to mg.

This is the perfect place for the single ear crimp clamps I've posted about before, and agree with Joe. Particularly when used like this, which has held 125 PSI just fine. Not rocket surgery. I wonder what silicone rescue tape could do. Not on a 5k trip though.

Any specific recommendation on a kickstand pad for the XX?

It seems smaller than the one I got, so on a practical matter, just as good/better. I couldn't resist going with the silver bling and "1100" logo. I'm such a princess. -

Yeah, I don't think they even made it to the US. There are a million bag liners all over Aliexpress, Amazon, and eBay. I bet that given the size specs you can find something, particular with an AI agent.

It is sad, along with the pressing need to lash out based on a totally fabricated butthurt event many years ago. -

We also went there to run the corner in every position possible to compare what would hit. That's how we learned how to hit the fairing and make a fucking hole in it, too. Around 8 of us, Hayabusas and XXs. Two-up, obviously, puts the pipes down hard. -
Dummy. Open the battery case and fill it with nice cool water.

There are misting systems for the condensers with wildly varying reviews on both efficiency and long term potential damage. I have always wondered about the idea of a swamp cabinet around the entire thing, which should give a big part of the benefits of misters with almost none of the dangers. Your thoughts on the test conditions... Find the hottest part of the day, when it will be steady for a few hours. Run system and get power used for...two hours? And also run time. I *think* we would be looking for both reduced run time and reduced power during run because of lower pressure? Add swamp cooler, test for the same time. Next day, reverse it (swamp first, then dry).

Do you drag pipes? In this corner, I did some damage to the exhaust, which touched about the same time as the peg feeler. But which parts touch first are a function of both suspension setup and your riding style, right? Another XX rider would touch the fairing first. Anyway, the pad is on the same plane as the peg-to-exhaust line. I'm more concerned with having a daily driving machine that goes to the grocery store and customer meetings, and I'm not even sure when this bike will see its first real curve. Call me old I guess. Ah fuck, I think I see some dirt on the swingarm. Time to clean again. Oh, and yes, I do have vastly more hours restoring and cleaning than riding. -

I'm still unsure what you mean, but nothing interferes with anything else. Other than just looking big, I see no downside. -
And I can't even get an owner's manual bag from him...

Don't use anti-seize since it needs to be grounded.
