He/him. Electrical engineer located in the Pacific Northwest. Liberal urbanist, lover of anything with two wheels, not actually a robot. I don’t post much, here to learn.
I was feeling pretty down this morning, until I saw an electric garbage truck, which cheered me up.

That’s almost certainly Fair Use in the United States.

Back in California for the second time this year. Crazy hot today, 107F/41C in Redding. Mt. Shasta has dramatically less snow than it did in April.

Hi folks,

I’m looking for an action camera/dash cam to mount on my Tracer. I want to mount the camera itself at either the green or red locations, and route the cable back to a box hidden behind the fairing. 1/x

The front signals double as DRLs, and they are quite bright.

Installed new turn signals on my FJ-09. Pretty happy with how they turned out. #motosky

Rode from Hillsboro to Redding yesterday, rode from Redding to Eureka today. Only took a few photos, was too busy making memories!

On my way home from Portland, I stopped for a moment to admire some big, beautiful trees.

Installed some heated grips, hand guards, and engine guards on the Yamaha, then found a dead-end road. As is my tradition.

The FZ6 had the same engine as the previous-generation R6, but tuned for a bit less power and a bit more torque. It was the right first machine for me, and I still miss it sometimes.

Was unexpectedly reminded of my last long trip on my first bike, back in 2020. Good memories :)

Taking a break on my ride home. Sunny and cold here in Rainier, Oregon.

Back before COVID, when I was bike commuting full time, they gave away a fire safe at my office. “How are you going to get that home?”

I managed.
