  1. I haven't, but I've seen some videos. I'm guessing 90% of those fatties aren't really exercising, and if they are it's not frequent and they're probably consuming 8,000 calories to replenish the 50 they burned by walking in. It's been decades since I went to a gym, from recollection there were very few fatties.
  2. Yup. And I don't know if he's averse to getting it from you or just forgets to reach out. When I first learned he'd bought a package at the sand show I told him what it would cost from you, and that's it's very likely better/safer, and he was all in. Then..oh, look, a squirrel.
  3. My friend/housemate gets his from some people who had a booth at a trade show, I think he pays $325/month. It shows up in a barely insulated bag with a small freezer pack which doesn't appear to have ever been introduced to the concept of refrigeration. Sometimes the contents aren't hot. And they apparently fuck up his order regularly.
  4. Your body's chemistry is a factor, but it's pretty rare to find a fat person who exercises and/or doesn't overeat, me included. I used to be fat, then fasted, then maintained. When I have a lazy spell or eat more than usual my pants get tighter.
  5. PEA= polyetheramine.
  6. A leaking FPR will have a bigger effect at low RPM and low load than higher so it's definitely something to check. If it's good then try injector cleaner, Techron is my go-to, but anything with PEA 'should' be good.
  7. I don't recall it looking old or shitty. The bike was making just under 200hp so 5 is a small percentage. The guy's goal was 200 and no amount of tweaking would get it there, a squirt of oil did it. It was kinda funny, I asked "do you think lubing the chain might get it there?" and before I finished the guy on the bike was smiling and said "I was thinking the same thing." He left it idling in gear, gave it a spray, re-ran it, and got a 200hp printout for his customer.
  8. It goes beyond cleaning, I can hear the difference between a freshly cleaned dry chain and an oiled one. The links have seals and lube inside, pretty sure the rollers never do. I was watching a bike being dynoed and on the last run the guy lubed the chain and picked up measurable power, I think it was around 5HP. If he'd given it enough lube, or time, to get into the rollers it would have likely made even more of a difference.
  9. Lots of people do 530 to 525 conversions on liter bikes without issues. All else being equal, the 530 should last longer, but I've not heard of issues with 525s even when run hard.
  10. I've never owned that brand, my mushroom kit experience is from 20+ years ago. They were bagged and lubed, but you were supposed to use glue with them. Many rope type repair kits seem to have also gone away from using glue where they used to always 'require' glue. I haven't researched tire repair kits in a while, but last I looked there was no clear winner. I've had success and failure with both types and that seems to be the norm with no clear indication as to why one might beat the other in different scenarios.
  11. Interesting. The last time I had a mushroom plug kit it came with rubber cement and that was the only 'lubricant' to be used with them.
  12. Brought to you by the same guy who's track motor fucked off while using 5-30 oil because he knows that thinner oil is the smart choice when running an engine hard for extended periods.
  13. Silicone is a good way to minimize the possibility that the plug will adhere to the tire. Possibly a non-issue on a low pressure low speed tire, but I wouldn't use it on a real vehicle. A hawk tuah would be better.
  14. Fishing equipment....shove some catfish bait in it, then you'll realize that it was clean enough and didn't actually need anything done.
  15. I've read a few horror stories of people asking for mulch/chippings and coming home to a mountain of crap dumped in their yard. I'm guessing that's much less likely to happen with something like this because the dumper would probably be removed from the service.
