I also have a 1200GS with Jesse Bags. They don't look great but they're tough.
I share my location with my wife. I can see what time she'll be home when she's leaving work. She gets to see which ditch I crashed my motorcycle into.
I worked for the US division of a German company and found that the culture even for the US workers was very respectful of time off and appropriate working hours. I hated the job because I was customer facing and our customers were typically large US companies, but the German company was a great company to work for.
Afraid.org is what I've been using ever since dyndns started charging big prices for what used to be free.
The best accessory that I can recommend is a top case. I know they look super dorky but they are by far the most handy way to carry some extra shit while you're out riding. I had a Givi on my GS that could hold a 30 pack of beer which was very handy.
My wife repurposed a knock-off Pelican from Harbor Freight as a top case for her Honda 300L. I mooch storage space in her top case all the time because my KTM 500 has no structure to support a top case.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember searching for communities from kbin doesn't work if you use the exclamation point.
Last updated: 28FEB2022 (see Changelog for details) RetroArch is one of my favorite programs to use for retro game emulation, because it can emulate many systems. But it does have quite a steep lea…
I'm using my wife's Nintendo Switch Pro controller and I'm gonna lay in bed all day playing games.
The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I'd like to see more in the shows.
I've always used traditional hiking boots but I have sweaty feet, messed up toenails, and arthritis from gout. Stiff hiking boots were aggravating all of these issues so I recently switched to trail running shoes. I had avoided low cut shoes/boots because I hate getting rocks and debris in my shoes and needing to stop to take my footwear off to clean them out only for it to happen again 20 minutes later. I found an awesome set of gaiters at REI that keep debris from getting into my shoes and now I can hike in shorts which is way better than long pants. The traction and comfort of the Speedcross 6 shoes is incredible and I don't think I'll ever go back to bulky hiking boots. They're running shoes but they seem to work just as well for hiking and I've been on two hikes in Alaska without much pain in my feet. They ventilate well so my feet aren't soaked with sweat and I don't get blisters. Highly recommend trying a pair. I'm not sure if they will last very long but I'm happy to keep spending the money if they keep my feet in good shape.
I was able to donate to Ernest who runs kbin. I can't find the link at the moment but it is floating around here somewhere.
