“Do the japs or Germans have a flag on the moon?”

As a reply to a comment saying that Japanese and German engineering is better than USAian engineering.

No. It’s not AI

I’ve seen too many morons the last weekend, commenting on videos that this thing is AI.

Audio is in Swedish, and auto subtitles suck. Even in Swedish. But I’ll translate some quick info.

1998 S90 6.0 liter LS2 twin turbo. 780 hp. ~1040Nm. Three-piece driveshaft. Dual driveshaft bearings.
He has competed in rally, go-cart, drifting and endurance racing.

“The Hurricanes our world champions”

They won the Stanley cup. Which is won by a team from the NHL. Which only has teams from the US and Canada.

My 1991 Honda MT5/MT50

The best way to make going to work a bit of fun.

I bought it in 1995, when I was 15. Still have it and use it mainly to get to and from work during the summers. Cheap and fun. It’s a trip down memory lane every time I fire it up and go somewhere.

Reliable as fuck. It has been beaten to shit, and still only needs 4-5 attempts to start up every spring.

Basically stock now, but back in the day it would go the entire speedometer (it goes to 70) in second gear 😅 Right now, it tops out just over 50…in fourth gear.

I’ll never sell it. That’s for junior to do whenever I die.

What decides what ”leauge” you’re in on leaderboards??

I’ve done a few. Drifting only. Started in bronze, and have been up to platinum. Been “bouncing” between Gold and Platinum. I don’t play regularly. Maybe 2-3 times/week. Sometimes a week or two with not playing at all.

My first thought was that you’d have to play regularly/daily to move up. If you take a break, you move down.

But.

On the last set of leaderboards, I was moved from Gold to Ascendant. As I saw that it was much easier to earn cars at that level, I did all of the time trails as well.
Then yesterday when I logged on to collect all of the cars and stuff, I was moved back down to Gold.

Not that I really care. I have more than enough credits and gold to buy cars directly. But free cars are free cars. And the ~7-800 gold I made wasn’t bad either.

Replace clutch switch on a 1993 Suzuki Intruder 1400

So I bought a bike with a…”sketchy” clutch switch. Now it’s dead.

No problem. I soldered the wires because I couldn’t be bothered with the hassle of routing the wires. Upon adding an extra piece of wire so that it wouldn’t come out of the plastic housing holding the switch in place, I think I might’ve bent the wire too much, and by doing so, killed it inside of the insulation. Which is fine. They’re 33 years old and not as flexible any more.

My question(s) are:

Where is it connected? The service manual I have doesn’t cover it at all, and the electric diagram just shows that there’s a connection. Not where it is. Not that it shouldn’t.

Since the wires are routed through the handlebars and then goes off to where they need to be, I’m thinking of disconnecting the wires, tape a shoestring to them, pull the shoestring through, and then do it again with the new wire.
That has to be the easiest and fastest way. Right??

Rebuilt the front brake main cylinder. Changed the plugs. Took it out and got it warm. Can’t wait to get it out on the road and cruise.
