No drugs, no shortcuts. A lot gym hours and putting the fork down. Firt guy probably couldn’t run to the end of my driveway. I couldn’t bench 115 pounds. Second guy ran a 10k at 50. Bench pressing my own weight. And more importantly, I feel good.

Colossal idiot here - it was the Kill switch. I never use it, but had inadvertently hit it and - when she didn't start, that put be into a mental spin...which for me isn't a productive state of mind. Thanks to everyone for the assist. Now, if the temps will lower a bit, I'll get back to riding.

Nothing in your coolant or oil, I would suspect it is just local condensation contaminating the oil and sequestering in the PAIR galleys.

How long since you toggled the kill switch?

Those who succeed come to realize they have effectively made a lifestyle change, and it is to be maintained as such. The benefits are not just physiological, but psychological as well. You did this--no one did it for you. Savor the sense of satisfaction and well-being--you earned it. Resist the urge to look critically upon others who have not your sense of commitment and dedication (despite any obvious need on their part); but, rather provide quiet yet competent influence by continuing to lead this lifestyle of healthy example. Congrats, and carry on!

This makes more sense here than anywhere else in the world.

Sounds like you might have some good friends.🤣 I had trouble starting my Stihl Blower a few days ago. Turns out I couldn't remember which way the on/off switch was supposed to go. I absolutely hate when they use symbols instead of words. "I" on one side and "O" on the other. How hard is it to put the words "on" and "off" on a thumb switch?

Time to dual! Purses at 20 paces! Maybe for you two, it could be syringes at 20 paces. LOL

Luckily it rarely lands, joke's on them. Or if it seems like it could, deploying weaponized autism can be fun.

Sorry about your ego. I didnt say - or in my mind even imply that people who get there a different path are less. I just shared MY path. You chose to be offended by it.

That's African American buddy. 😉

Finally got a seller who gave me what I asked. Got the 5k I was looking for.

2000 Suzuki VZ800 (aka Marauder). 29k miles. The Good - starts and runs well. Shifts ok at the 15mph or less I rode it. Bodywork is reasonably good / straight. After market seat. Thats about it. The bad - forks are HEAVILY blown - and have been for some time. Im not sure about the rear shock either. Brakes are HEAVILY contaminated. Im shocked the damn thing stopped when he rode it here- literal grease/oil on the rotor and pads. Chain'n sprockets needed replacement in 2006. Tires likely too. I "think" the frame is straight but the bolt on t-bar style handlebars sit tweaked in the triple. Knocked around during a fall I'm sure - cant guarantee bars are straight. This is one if no one wants it will go for scrap. Whoever buys its will get a title and " for parts only" BOS - do with it what you will. I'm genuinely scared to sell it locally because someone might actually try and ride it as is... If you can do labor yourself and spend some time with it - you could make a decent riding reliable bike out of this. Some investment would be required. $100 bike + $250 doc fee and tax for your location.

possibly the kill switch,as xxitanium says . are you trying to start it with the bike on the centre stand with the sidestand up. is it in gear and side stand down,is it in neutral and sidestand down but neutral light not on .if so its a faulty neutral switch . Just checked on my 99 model with bike in gear and sidestand down.the fuel pump still cycles .

LOL, Mike slept on my couch one night and that had a profound affect. On my emotional state and my bung hole

Great job! It takes a lot of commitment to do what you did and are doing.

New Blower motor from RockAuto runs from $18 to 49. Additional $10 for the blower motor module. Blower motor relay is $8.50 to 22. How much time have you spent on this already?

Sounds like a great way to create an adventure. Post often so we'll have a clue where it and/or you died along the way.

I mean were in the same country lol

On my carbs the needles look like the one on the left. If I remember correctly, there is also a small washer? Hold the tip of a soldering iron on the alloy part holding the pin on both sides of the float, just don't touch the float.

Sad. I like eggs. Can do alot with a boiled egg. If you let them go weeks beyond stale date, there are other uses for them. edit to add: they really explode if you shoot 17hmr.

Did it really take him that long or was that just your perception? 😃

Safety, obviously, third. OSHA not allowed in my place.

Yes...they are....

It's your phone service provider. They heard what you said about them, and they have released into your truck whatever gremlins they use for making calls drop unexpectedly.🫣 You should just burn it to the ground before they spread to your BMW.

Well, it seems even this forum is not immune to pussyfication engulfing entire country. 😁 I can't believe all the flak people are giving racer for that comment.

the fact that the person who has been broke all his life chose to get angry instead of considering the advice shared to him explains why he has been broke all his life and will stay broke. not everyone can communicate with the tact ,diplomacy that someone in lets say a management position has been trained to do. maybe we are just thicker skinned here in aus

Hey All, Disconnected the XX (2000 model) from the trickle charger, pushed out of my garage, turned the key and no FI sound. FI light stays on... The cycle won't start and I have no idea what to do. I'm not very mechanical but would like your ideas on what might be going on. Thanks in advance. Mike in Lansdowne, PA

You're right, I glanced at the old 809 and put that in my mind. $120 is still great.

Buy the one that can exert the most force on a 20V battery. Trust me on this one. MAX XR - Maximum Torque - 500 Inch Pounds ATOMIC 20V MAX - Torque - 1825 Inch Pounds

But your dick get's bigger.

I can only medically speak for myself who lost 128 pounds on the meds and I am 17 months in. Pretty much zero side affects. No muscle or bone density loss. Feel amazing. Absolutely a magic wand for me.

Oh, also noteworthy, nobody in healthcare is easily offended and they all enjoy some good bullshit. They always ask which eye, and what correction/surgery you're going to have. When they would ask, "Right eye cataract removal and toric lens with doctor Levin?" "Wait, this isn't my vasectomy???"

Woke up and reached for my glasses as always before getting up. Nope, never again. Everything is ultra bright and white, and in focus. My brain still says blue, but I really know it's natural. Kind of like looking at one of those ultra-white heavy presentation papers versus dollar store shitty paper.

Thats the best part of it all even if I know it's not good for me. It's the risk. The reason I do the shit I do. Everything. Life is not boring. edit: and never will be.🤪😀😀

My guess is that Scott overstated the shittiness of the bike's condition, and I've piloted some very questionable vehicles of all types, but not without an assessment. I might do a fly and ride for this, but with the expectation that there will possibly be a U-haul involved.

Me first Sons and I are in discussions. Scott, I'll let you know first part of next week.

+ 1 I have eaten a LOT of eggs my whole life (sometimes 3 or 4 a day) and the last I checked, I was still alive and no sugar issues. While I have backed off eating so many only because of the possible cholesterol connection, there is no way I fully believe this below without something else being involved.

It's been a long time since I've seen comedians like you assholes.

He's just asking questions. Do you really want him to provide the, um answers, as well? Didn't think so.

One of my friends asked me about setting him up with something that'll support a couple window units. It would only take two panels, small charge controller, and a small UPS or inverter and batteries.

Love you too buddy 😎 We may tell him at some point, but not until he's a bit older and I know that we can trust him with the news. I don't want to end up in a situation where he fucks something up and blames his autism for it. Like my grandson, fucker has been told that he's ADHD kid and now each and every time he screws up, he's just saying "But I have ADHD". Little fuck needs his ass whooped once in a while, but his mum is treating him like a proper wuss. Pisses me off.

Too many wheelies perhaps? I recently replaced some BB wheel bearings. I took the specs off the old ones and purchased genuine SKF off a bearing retailer. Way cheaper than OEM, but not much more than Chinese ebay junk. Anyway, do you think the rustoleum will hold up on the calipers when you bleed them? I have done some rattle can repaint on some parts of the bike but not the calipers for that reason. 🍺

Man, the new plugs really seem to perk the 'ol girl up. After it warms up, the idle is kicking up to around 2k? After its warm, and sitting off, a quick tap of the starter button and it pops off immediately. It was never that responsive in my memory. I need to adjust the clutch out a 'tidge

Let me find a YouTube video on this…. j/k
