I hate gooey fat, but charred is usually tasty, whether cow or pig. Randy talks shit about me removing it, "you should eat that, it's good for you." It's a bit of a hard sell when nutritional advice is coming from someone twice my size who's breakfast is a fist full of pills.

I rode my Grom today. No tripling, or even doubling of speed limits (no school zones on my route). However, I very briefly did 10 over in a 60 zone when I caught a draft behind a pickup truck that was merging in. Thing rails in the corners though.

You weren't supposed to notice. It was only picture I had of an actual person on a bike that wasn't me on my Drag Bird.

No question about it. I rode bike to work this morning, usual asshatery, like tripling speed limits, etc. It felt great.😁

I'd go +1 and -0.5, still a bike. I mean, at least it's not...electric...

Thanks. That is an amazing build, that guy did a great job.

After some experimenting I settled on fine steel wool with oil or diesel for lube. Then I scrape off the chunky stuff with either a fingernail, screwdriver, or razor blade. Then steel wool again. I only attacked the left side of the handlebar. I wasn't trying to capture the turn signals so they're mostly blocked, but you might notice that one of them things aint like the other. Kinda funny, a shiny left bar and shiny right signal. So weird that the left bar clamp is fine and the right is all fuckered up, but the bar and bolts are about the same on both sides. Monday chrome vs. Friday chrome? I also found it strange that the rear wheel is way more rusted than the front, and the left side of the rear is worse than the right. I woulda thunk that chain lube fling-off would have given some protection, but it appears to have eaten the chrome instead. Or maybe dirt and stuff flinging off the chain damaged the chrome leading to faster rusting?
