Heat resistant muffler wrap?
It's not carbon fiber?

Nice. Do they make these anymore?

Wow! Did they clean up OK? We have all seen vinyl coated pegs to hang guns so is it that particular rubber or rubber in general? Was the silicone and heat shrink tubing guns OK?

Barry G, I haven't seen that name around in a while.

You guys dont have very good memories...:)
That bike was built by a .org member from Texas (Tony?) who wrecked it.
The build was documented on this site.
I bought the wreck and repaired it, changing it into what you see today, except for the exhaust.
It had a Two Brothers high mount when I sold it to a guy from NYC.
Happy Trails!
HanksxxxDo you remember his screen name?

I wanted those Erion Racing pipes back in the day.

One of the nutritionists I follow says that weight loss/calorie restriction are one thing, and exercise should never be mixed with it.
Isn't that kind of:
I mean you don't drain the fuel out of your motorcycle and then go for a ride, right?

Why do people act like there's something wrong if you choose not to eat?
If they are making the food, it might come across like you don't care for what they prepared. I know there were times we were just sitting down to eat supper and someone would stop in to visit. They refused to join in and it felt weird eating in front of them.

I've always wanted to ask an owner, especially one that rides bikes: Did you enjoy it enough to recommend one? Part of me thinks it would be fun, like a gocart-ish experience, but the rest of me feels like it's the worst of all worlds. Most of the limitations and danger of a bike without the freedoms and abilities of a bike; it may be less of an impact in states where you're not allowed to lane split. Is it something that would likely be more appealing for a person that doesn't ride than for a rider?
Same here but if it gets to the place where riding two up or even solo becomes too much, I could see one of these. 25K is a pretty big commitment to find out.

It should work with any belt, but the app would have to know what frequency indicates proper tension for the vehicle. I remember some talk on the Ducati forum about using a phone to set the timing belt tension, but I think Ducati gives the frequency spec so you just need something that can accurately hear and display the frequency.
I was thinking of the Goldwing timing belt. It is set by so many lbs per inches of deflection.

Just kidding.
Now you did it.

Will that work with any application and any belt? I wonder how accurate it is?

How much are new non-collectable 1100 cc bikes going for?
Your not suggesting the Black Bird isn't collectable are you? 😉

Skipping breakfast can damage your immune response - study
Skipping meals through intermittent or prolonged fasting periods cause certain white blood cells to go dormant.
Those skipped meals may do more damage to your bodily functions than previously thought. Researchers have uncovered that diets that involve fasting - prolonged periods without eating or drinking - could be tied to developing cardiovascular diseases and even some cancers.
According to a recently published study, skipping breakfast can actually cause more harm than you'd think. This peer-reviewed study was authored by researchers and medical professionals in cardiovascular health at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital, in collaboration with a team from Harvard Medical School. Researchers said that after carrying their study out on mice, they are able to see how skipping meals triggers responses in the brain.
Their findings show that skipping meals triggers responses in the immune cells of the brain.

Oh, you might be shocked at how much I've cleaned the KTM. Right now it's just barely dirty, but in my defense, I was on dirt yesterday.
It has approached Dave Clean(tm) at least twice.
Weren't you the guy that washed his Jeep once per year and that was only because you got a free car wash? And the other time it needed washed you just drove it into a lake or something? It's good to see you have found your way. 😀

That looks way too clean to be a photo of your bike. 😀

So does it sound better?

The R/R has to absorb all the power not being consumed by other things. Basically, it's a regulated short circuit that turns all the excess power into heat, which is why they get hot, which is likely closely related to their failure.
Which is why living in the north is better for your Bird. 😃

Potassium is easy. Throw out your container of sodium salt.
I thought this was somewhat interesting.
It may seem counterintuitive, but a new study review suggests that consuming too little salt could be harmful to heart failure patients.
Doctors currently recommend a low-sodium diet to lower blood pressure and avoid fluid buildup and swelling, which can be common symptoms for heart failure. The condition develops when the heart muscle becomes too weak or stiff to effectively pump blood to the rest of the body.
But the new meta-analysis of nine randomized, controlled trials found that restricting dietary sodium intake below the standard recommended maximum of about 2.3 grams per day did not bring additional benefits, and it also may increase the risk of death.
The findings will be presented March 5 at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting, in New Orleans.
"Our findings showed that restricting dietary sodium to less than the usual recommendation was counterproductive in the management of heart failure," said study lead author Dr. Anirudh Palicherla, an internal medicine resident at Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska.
"Limiting sodium is still the way to go to help manage heart failure, but the amount of restriction has been up for debate," Palicherla said in a meeting news release. "This study shows that the focus should be on establishing a safe level of sodium consumption, instead of overly restricting sodium."
While the average American eats about 3.4 grams of sodium daily, U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting that to 2.3 grams daily or less. That's a little less than 1 teaspoon of table salt.
The nine trials assessed different levels of sodium for a total of nearly 3,500 people with heart failure and included data on rates of death and hospitalization. Most of those trials were conducted between 2008 and 2022.
Researchers found that patients following a diet with a sodium intake target below 2.5 grams per day were 80% more likely to die than those following a diet with a target of 2.5 grams per day or more. More here

The person with the problem has to want to change or nothing will happen. That applies to all things not just eating. I hope your friend gets a second chance.

But what does it taste like?

This part is scary but could happen with anything I guess.
Several cases have also been caused by errors in manufacturing, when the supplements had 100–4,000 times higher amounts of vitamin D than stated on the package (19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).
Warning-rubber hose may cause rust.

I never knew that. On old cars the outside key locks were stainless, at least the outer part and graphite was often used in to keep them working smoothly but I don't know if the inside was stainless.
