First 3d printer of my life and so far it is pretty cool.

So I have a bunch of pictures i'll upload in an imgur album that is me going through the opening and first print. Lets start this whole thing with some simple numbers though:

I paid 1505$ shipped to my door in arizona for:

1.75mm BRIDGE Filament 1# spool 1.75mm Red Rocket ABS Filament 2# Spool 1.75mm Grass Green PLA Filament 1kg Spool ORION Delta 3D Printer

This includes using a 40$ off discount I found online. I ordered it week ago today. So from click of the button to the time it was at my door was under 1 week total(by about 10 hours) using there cheapest shipping method.

PACKAGING!

They put some serious effort into pack

a little kid with his dad and his bicycle waving at me.

Thats what is better. :)

I was cruising home after work on my vtx and I was coming up to where the traffic always backs up. So I stop and I glance at the bus stop and as traffic starts going again I catch a little view of this kid in a blue bicycle helmet with his dad sitting next to him.

The kid looked at his dad who nodded and the kid start waving like CRAZY at me. So I glanced over to him, gave I gave him a wave back and I cruised on by.

In the side mirror I saw him high five his dad and his dad was smiling too.

I just had to share. Made my day :)

A little background: I hold 8 PHD's in various made up fields. I am the de-facto world renowned expert in FRIGEN RIDING.

So as THE expert...

People of phoenix arizona. GO FRIGEN RIDE. Its rain! We get proper rain ONCE a year. GO ENJOY IT!!!

(Also, if you see a guy on a red klr650 having issues starting his bike just leave me alone. My choke cable snapped.)

One of the best bonds my girlfriend and I have is riding a motorcycle. She has some vision problems so she can't safely ride a motorcycle(in her opinion and mine. The state is fine with it). So one of the reasons we fell in love is because I'd give her rides on the back of my klr650.

Here is us while riding around arizona about a month ago:

Happy as can be :)

So! What is your story about riding with your SO? Good? bad? Any pics?

So I haven't ever seen someone talk about getting there rotor turned on a motorcycle.

Do we just not get rotors turned??

Odd question, I know. I've been a fan of DF for a long time but never really had a chance to get into the first one until after its peak. Now i've downloaded and installed DF:UW but I'm at work right now and curious.. is it doing well?

Population healthy? Any obvious game breaking bugs out?

Thanks!

Its the current trend here in r/motorcycles to post 'I'm 5'5, can I ride a DR650?!'

Yes.

Yes you can.

How many points does it take to make an object stable? Three! How many points can a person make when they get one foot on the ground? Three!

Ipso facto: If you can get one foot on the ground, you can ride the bike and be stable when you stop.

I have a 30 inch inseam and I have never dropped my klr650 on-road. Not even once. Off-road I've had a few spills but nothing crazy, and none caused by my height.

Go watch dakar, motogp, AMA 1k, anything. Half the damn people are tip toeing on one foot.

Is it always easy as can be? No. It takes a small amount of time to adjust and you have a

So I rebuilt my klr650's engine into a 688 over the last 3 months or so. I went for the first shake down ride on monday and this morning when I went to recheck everything I discovered coolant in the oil.

I had this issue before and it spurred the rebuild. I know the head gasket is not leaking as I just rebuilt it and the water pump is weeping. This indicates the mechanical seal is bad and its allowing coolant and oil exchange.

It is turning into the longest frigen project I can imagine. Every time I am 'done' I noticed something else wrong that causes another few days delay as I wait for new parts to come in.

Part of me enjoys the non-stop wrenching but the other part of me just wants

So my klr650 blew a headgasket 3 months ago and I decided to do the 688 by eaglemike, full head refurb, trailtech dash, sprockets, chain, and a dozen other little things.

Until 3 weeks ago I felt vastly over my head in so many ways. 90% of the projects were about half done and the other parts were less.

Well tonight I FINALLY started the damn thing up!! SUCH A GREAT FEELING. 15 seconds of starting, give or take, to refill carb and such along with some choke for 5 seconds and it kicked right on and ran great!

However the thermostat was leaking. So I hit it off and identified the problem. I overtorqued the thermostat bolts and ripped the thread out of the bolt holes. :( I have the heli

2 years ago this dump truck driver hit about 8 motorcycles or so and killed 4 people in the process. He simply didn't stop and ran into them. Upon investigation they found meth in his system.

So this guy kills 4 people, injures 5 others, and will be out of prison before hes 65(He'll get out in half time like everyone else does).

Charming.

From 21 - 24 I only rode a bicycle. I sold off my truck and just rode bicycles. I had an old vitus I got from my dad with some good components (Albeit old) and I put about 10k on that bike and another 15k on two other bikes.

I eventually fell out of it when I got a job that was 30 miles away 1 way, but my current job is only 6. So! I've started riding again as of today. I don't know if it'll be long term or just a few weeks as I rebuild my motorcycle engine.. but its awesome.

Just wanted to brag :)

OH! And I got a 2k13 Allez sport compact. Great bike. =)

An example: IT guys on reddit always bitch about desktop issues. Desktop support is literally the bottom of the barrel. Its where you start, or where you end because you don't care/are an idiot.

So! What stereotypes about your job are horribly inaccurate for you but accurate for the morons??
