Actually that one's warmer.

I've learned how to do it right. Not only to not injure yourself in stupid footwear, but right all around. Think more body and foot positioning than the whole decompression thing. It requires some faith that it won't fall over to the right side no matter how hard you kick. Oh yeah, after the valve adjustment it no longer clicks when it's coming up on compression. But it's better to just feel it, and much faster. I'm no longer doing what all the videos say. Also with a proper kick, if it fails to start, you'll be right before compression. One little push, decomp lever and tiny push, kick. It smelled rich at idle, so I tried a turn in on the idle screw. This was followed by 30-some kicks, lots of backfire on decel, dying at idle, many more kicks. I put it right the fuck back and all good, starts on the first kick again. Shit, I just realized, I was wearing this at the time.

So I've learned how to start it in Five Fingers. Alcohol may have been involved.

The throttle is super snappy and linear now. I rode out of my neighborhood for the first time today, rolled on in third gear, and took the front tire right off the ground. I then proceeded to go ahead and give it the first crash, why not? Opened the throttle in second on a slow turn on dirt, and it stepped out way more than it should for being lugged. Good shit. Not a great highway bike, LOL. It's skittery even just on the streets, like it's on ice sometimes. Little imperfections in the road move the tire around. It's weird though; the tire moves as if you're about to die, but the bike doesn't. Meaning that the actual feeling through the bars is like the tire is sliding, but the bike stays pointed where it should. Going to take some adjustment, but I think eventually I'll just tune it out. It was way less shitty at 90 than expected. Oh also it feels slower than it is; so at what my gut says is 30, I'm doing 35, and gut 50 is closing on 60. I can usually get to a speed really closely. I don't have the speedo hooked up so I did some passes on a speed sign. One kick starts, hot or cold, but not when flooded. So when I dumped it, it flooded, and took quite some effort. This is the downside of the pumper carb; I need to figure out how to best un-flood it. If loud pipes save lives, I'm invincible. I need a better bag for grocery-getting. Or do I say fuck it and put one of my existing Givi mounts on there? Seems so wrong.

No, not at all. Are you making decisions based on such basic misunderstandings of chemistry? I don't get your point. Aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic, planar compounds that resemble benzene in electronic configuration and chemical behavior. Benzene has the molecular formula C6H6 and is the simplest aromatic hydrocarbon. The carbon atoms in benzene are linked by six equivalent σ bonds and six π bonds.

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

LOL, yeah. It's well proven that grill char = inflammation, oxidation, and cancer. Grilling can create cancer-causing chemicals When cooking over high heat, especially an open flame, you are exposed to two main carcinogens: heterocyclic aromatic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Studies show HCAs and PAHs cause changes in DNA that may increase the risk of cancer.

Everyone in the meeting when I presented this thought it was carpet installers, working on a drug and alcohol stereotype about them. The number of carpet installers in AZ does correlate with... The number of robberies in AZ Petroleum consumption in Ireland Popularity of the first name Kasey

Fuck, great question, and no idea. But I know where to ask... AI thinks it's a good thing to remove it, and that it's junk calories with no benefit. One minor disagreement I have on flavor is that if you char the outside fat, that can be really great-tasting. It's also strongly connected to oxidative stress and increased cancer. Worth it? Maybe, LOL. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/How-much-difference-TCp5doZjSHOfySVQCcGOLg#0

I have a bunch in a presentation, which I made for a customer. I need to figure out how to make it an online game or something for us here.

Those look very appropriate.

That seems accurate. There are other reasons to avoid the lean breast, but not this one.

The large array of health benefits will reduce time off, medical expense, and improve productivity. https://www.businessinsider.com/us-economy-faster-growth-ozempic-glp-1-weight-loss-drugs-2024-2? "Combining current losses in hours worked and labor force participation from sickness and disability, early deaths, and informal caregiving, we estimate that GDP would potentially be over 10% higher if poor health outcomes did not limit labor supply in the US," Jan Hatzius, the chief economist at Goldman Sachs, said. So a drug that has shown great promise in improving a wide range ofpatient health outcomes could ultimately have a sizable impact on the broader economy. "The main reason we see meaningful upside from healthcare innovation is that poor health imposes significant economic costs. There are several channels through which poor health weighs on economic activity that could diminish if health outcomes improve," Hatzius said.

I don't know who "we" is, but unfortunately I fell for the massive amount of bullshit that seemed to be prevalent until recently, that carbs were the problem. I have no doubt that those lies and food marketing have made me less healthy. https://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-causes-insulin-resistance/

Kickstarter and foot peg, didn't fall over. The bike is perfectly stable on the kickstand, and you start it that way. It's weirdly hard to knock over. Neither the kickstarter or pegs are sandal-friendly.

Started on the second kick with the brand new carb. Restarts hot or cold in one kick. Success. “The way to know if you’ve adjusted the accelerator pump correctly is if you can do third gear wheelies on demand.” LOL I did a short ride around the hood and found the steering to be heavy as fuck and also jittery, so I raised the pressure but haven't ridden again. I was at about 28 and 32 front-rear, and now at 34 36 to see how that does. Neighbor came by later, at whisky-o-clock and wanted to hear it. I was wearing Fivefingers, not boots, but hey, worst cas...... But it did start. There was no mount for the enriching knob, easy solution...

Probably pissed that the box did not contain either Jolly Balls or treats. The throttle was insanely dirty, with sticky chunky shit. It took a solid 20+ minutes and half a dozen paper towels and a lot of alcohol to clean it out. Now I wonder what's the best lube for it. Internet wisdom varies from dry, to a dry lube, and Yamaha recommends lithium soap grease. I'm inclined to use one of my dry lube sprays, or maybe white lithium.

Got here early. UPS guy knows what's going on, so he violated protocol and delivered to me before the rest of the hood, LOL. Their docs say to run it as is, not re-jet, but I called to discuss it. The person who answered the phone was helpful but not *absolutely* sure, so he said he'd have a senior tech call me when he's back from lunch. Decent service.

I was getting easily 4+ inches of spring from a 10mm, maybe more. The first hit with the hammer almost sent the hammer flying, I didn't expect that much rebound. This is probably different with those rough-cast looking cheap wrenches, which I've had shatter just in use. The angled feelers arrived, and I didn't realize that for $8 you actually get a regular set too. But they were covered in that nasty Chinese oil/grease/cosmoline shit that is really stick and smells horrifying. And isopropyl doesn't melt it.

It's the pink assless chaps. Yes, yes, I know. I might grab this for the valves: https://www.harborfreight.com/sae-and-metric-go-thru-socket-set-21-piece-62305.html I did find a 10mm that I was willing to modify. Wrench steel is surprisingly springy.

Pretty sure that happened yesterday while we were on the call. Remember I was getting no push on my finger, after having gone the wrong way, then CLICK it had compression. The lever does have free play, in fact it was on my to-do list to reduce it.
