I moved to the west coast of the US to avoid this problem. Granted, now I have to deal with the march of fascism, but at least I have my moto 😅😔

I can’t unsee fuck,I outright don’t think there’s an R in there

No it’s just a bad font, look at “treat” 🤦

I don’t use the official client, but airvpn with pure wireguard works perfectly.

Agreed, but (and I suppose this means Lemmy is smaller than I’d like) I’ve seen this dude posting similar “both sides”, “we’re doomed” etc etc etc shit.

Hope is always the last thing to die, but we’ve gotta be real and take action to fix things while it’s still relatively easy to.

Homestar wya?

Here’s that droopy defeatist again. Everyone else but sad-socks here: look past, and forward, we can succeed in making change!

Nah, just more crap to buy. I keep my moto gloves on and do it manually. Thanks though.

US, west coast, we have systems on the nozzle which prevent dispensing gas unless the nozzle is well seated, in order to pull gas fumes back into a return built into the hose. Here’s an article.

I usually have to forcibly override it by pulling back on the plastic ring around the nozzle’s base, otherwise I’d only get 2/3 of my tank. I stop a bit below the inlet of the tank, gasoline from a cool underground tank will slightly expand in summer heat.

Good idea for the environment, little bit of an annoyance but no big deal.

😬 I’m writing this on my pixel 3… What happened??

Til about lkrg.

It really sucks, but of course it was an idiot from Nassau county 🙄

And?

Yeah? Is your family proud of you? Or are you a secretly a loser like you reveal with this very response?

I’m going to keep manufacture local to the west coast, but yeah, price deltas are almost extreme in comparison.

Well I guess we’ve got the gremlin part right too 😂

They’ll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.

Don’t listen to their lies.

I actually didn’t realize this is a CalyxOS-only feature.

Kinda curious that other roms aren’t including the “VPN via hotspot” truck

Why doesn’t a thousand year old culture matter to you? They work on peace and understanding oneself, and have never varied from that goal.

What would make that non-valuable?

As @konna@sopuli.xyz & @Jojowski@sopuli.xyz mention, the GS series are great to learn and work on as my first bike. Thegsresources.com are a great group of friendly old-timers who really love their GS bikes. Check this out for a bunch of great photo tutorials: https://gsarchive.bwringer.com/bikecliff/index.html

I’ve since upgraded to a liter machine, but the 1984 GS450 I bought and restored over the pandemic (predecessor to the 500) still has lots of OEM parts available, very easy to work on, I camped with it, and felt stable on the highway at 80+mph. Takes any kind of gas, and ran like a top even after seizing the engine (and doing the restore work myself). I had a lot of fun painting the tank myself, open to all kinds of fun ideas, and she was light enough to mildly off-road with.

However: suspension and handling have dramatically improved in the years since. Safety-wise, newer bikes are better, but the low weight and “good enough” disc brake on the front will do the job if you have less of a lead foot than I do. The several rides I did up from LA to San Francisco and back several times went perfectly, no safety issues, lots of fun.

I sold my 450 to a friend from LA a month ago, he rode it right down from up here in the PNW, no problem. Good luck, ping me if you have any deeper Qs as I’ve done everything from making new wiring harnesses, new seats to new front/rear suspensions for the bike over the years.
