Finally got the Barkbuster hand guards back on my #Triumph. It took me so long to get to it because it involves drilling and slotting the plugs the hand guards mount to. (The stock bars have threaded inserts welded into their ends that the hand guards previously mounted to, but these aftermarket bars don't have those.) #motorcycle

Glad I'm finally comfortable with using the cutting wheel of my #Dremel at full speed. It didn't take very long at all to do the slotting through the aluminum plugs!

(Extra mirrors to be removed when I get time.)


Finally got some closure after kicking a bad addiction. :)

The LTO-9 tape drive I got needs one of these cables and I only have the kind without combined connectors on the drive end. 🫠


Kind of wild that The Simpsons predicted the Cybertruck. :P


This is interesting.

Glad I'm figuring this out while I still have the energy and years to pursue it. #motorcycle


Does that mean that RAW images prior to processing usually lack contrast, clarity, and color like this? The scene in person certainly didn't look this drab and blurry. #photography #photog


The Honda Valkyrie Rune looks a lot like the Harley-Davidson VRSC. 🤔 #motorcycle
