What’s yalls tire wear looking like for those that don’t track? Can’t seem to scrub the rest of this edge off on my mountain runs without getting to the point of being uncomfortable.

Would rather have strips than wreck my bike, but are yall able to scrub the entire tire on public roads, or is this pretty proper for the circumstances.

Still relatively new to the GSX-R world, only have about 4k mi under my belt on this bike (and 80% has been typical commuting cause my car is a POS) just wanting to see if it’s cool to push it further than I have been on my runs.

I am comfortable where I am at, but like I said I’m so new to the bike I’m still figuring out what it’s capable of.

If you could only watch one season what would it be?

Bangers on every season excluding 13. But man id have to say season 2 is my all time favorite. The tricky two, butt trouble, meth OD, the tiniest princess, bubba trubba, terminous trouble, etc. Seasons 1 and 3 as a runner up.

Honorable mention to the season 6 episode: The Pharaohs Wad. Early’s excitement for the shittiest single pair you can get cracks me up. “Hell yeah pair o two’s baby!!”

Always would love to find an AMA of someone who did closed captions for Squidbillies.

Good shops for motorcycle tire replacements?

Got a 2006 GSX-R 750, going to be buying the tires online and then dropping the bike off, so I won’t be removing my own wheels.

Aside from Suzuki Yamaha of Dalton, are there any good independent shops I should check out?

First draft. Still got another trucker hat to try for a second attempt. Couldn’t find red and black, was too drunk to remember to buy a blue sharpie. Actually kinda goes hard.

Trying to decide whether to shell out the $35 for this custom Jack Squattery hat or just get a cheap trucker hat and scribble on it like an inbred moron…

Found out what Early’s been up to since the show ended… had to get me a cheap ass pint as a show of respect.

I live in North GA about 40 minutes across the mountains from Ellijay. Was working in this town about 25 mins south of me for the week and found the one and only Party Liquor employatarium.

No damn pine cone liquor though.

(And surprisingly this is the way I found out that my iPhone 16 camera has that fuck ass AI “enhancing” “feature” embedded into the camera app. 90% of my pics are through Snapchat but I wanted a HD pic for the fellas 😔.)

Lost two jobs due to a car wreck 6 hours away because I had to call out twice (and was late once). Is it even worth going to my manager to try to appeal HR's decision?

Long story short: I work in healthcare. I had a car accident at 80mph 6 hours away. Very very lucky to be alive. I worked at 2 hospitals in the same network. After the accident I got a loaner car, made it back, and was an hour late to my shift. A few weeks later, I went down to fix my car (I made sure management was aware, made multiple attempts to get my shifts picked up and then ultimately just let management know). Turns out it had more damage than I thought, I had to get it towed to a shop, they worked all day and night to try to get it ready but I had to call out of two shifts at hospital A.

Hospital B, I've never had a single incident, always was picking up for call outs, changing my day shift for night shift with minimal notice. This hospital is in a notorious area and is criminally understaffed.

I got a call from hospital A's manager after my second call out basically saying "dude I am so sorry but my hands are tied, but apply back in a year and we'd be happy to get you back on".

Ok, that's fine. I liked hospital B more anyway. I texted my manager a couple days ago (this was a week ago when I officially got fired). She said she hates the situation but since hospital A let me go and that was my main hospital, I am not able to work for them.

I have shop RO's, tow receipts, AAA records, pictures, etc. All dated. This was a legit emergency/accident, and hospital A is always overstaffed to the point where it's mind numbingly boring. Hospital A's manager said about a thousand times over a 10 minute phone call that it's HR's call and she's so sorry. Which is probably bullshit, but whatever. I thanked her for the opportunity and appreciated that she made sure I was rehirable and could go back next year. I was their top pick for the role out of about 15 applicants.

If I go and talk to my department manager at hospital B, do y'all think there is ANY chance that I could get them to override HR's decision?

I totally understand hospital A letting me go. Reliable transportation is 100% expected for someone in my role, but firing me from a hospital I did no wrong at and was always a team player is absolutely a stretch. The economy is not good. This has legitimately crippled me especially after paying $1500 to simply get my car road worthy, not even fixing the body damage.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I am more than happy to share all documentation with my manager. I just don't want to waste my time and look like a jackass. That hospital network pays really well, I'd be taking a major pay cut going elsewhere.

So yeah... as if wrecking my car wasn't enough, I lost both my jobs due to some HR bullshit, including one I literally did nothing wrong at. I've called two hospitals and neither are hiring. FML.

Thank you so much.

I wish I didn't rage-delete my messages from my manager at hospital B, because most of the messages were "we love having you here!!". Fuckin A man...

Early’s cell phone ringtone

Does anyone know what song that is, or if it’s a track made specifically for the show?

Comes up in a few different episodes, like The Tiniest Princess. This shows kind of weird with a lot of the tracks being made for the show, while also having bigger, well known artists (38 Special, Widespread Panic) play originals.

Edit: song is ‘The Cure’ by George Teren. Specifically at 0:42.

Glass retainers.. good sources to buy from? And how can I gauge what length I will need?

Have a horseshoe in my lip. Needs to be removed for a couple weeks coming up soon, and the piercing is still new enough that I should not attempt on my own.

Wanted to get a glass retainer, called 2 shops, they don’t have any. One was going to try one, but it wasn’t long enough.

What’s a good source to buy a quality retainer, and how should I go about judging the length i need? Just need it to be low key for a little bit to have meetings with the big bosses.

Having a piercer swap me to a clear glass lip retainer after 3 weeks? Good to go or wait it out a little longer?

Long story short, I had some things change a few days ago with work, and I need to look “professional” for a couple weeks in August. I’m pretty clean cut, well groomed, no tattoos, but I’m certain that also means no lip ring. Going to attend some group meetings (not in a bad way) with a VERY old school professional, and my chill manager was kinda giving me a heads up. It’s only 2 days each week, maybe 3 hours a day, so if it was healed enough this would be a non-issue… but alas it is far from it.

I just wanted to see if having it in for about 3 weeks is enough time to go back and see the piercer to swap me out to a glass retainer. Also I am 29, not trying to hide it from my parents or anything. Lol. After late August I’m good to go again.

Just wanted to get some input, I’ve only had pierced ears which are pretty much no big deal.

Hopefully it shouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks all.

I keep running over him with my horse but he won’t go away. I don’t want to deal with his whiny ass in the epilogue. What am I doing wrong?

Cringe ass nae nae baby.

Personally I think Jack is the reason why the gang falls apart. If it wasn’t for him they never would have gone after Brontë, Dutch never would have gotten his ego fucked up at the trolley job, and would have never killed the mafia boss of the biggest city in the game.

I think Jack genuinely is the main antagonist of the game. Better to just destroy him now before I get to chapter 3.

My buddies all said my gixxer shot flames constantly. I didn’t think too much about it until I snapped some pics in neutral.

Cat delete, 2 Brothers Black Series, PC6. Just baby revs

K6 750. Still frame from a video but that thing spits em out any time I let off the throttle.

Is this big plastic 3 connector hose easy to replace in the dirt and grass with limited tools? Happened out of state and I won’t have my full garage of course.

Gonna try to find a better brand than URO of course but just using this as a reference. Basically long story short I was going down a desolate, skinny road in pitch black. I was running late to get back home (5 1/2hrs) was tired, and not paying attention when I flew through a sharp 90° curve going rather fast.

Sore as hell, stressed, no appetite, but overall could have been much much worse.

Aside from some front bumper cover damage (which was already damaged), I think this big plastic hose is my only real drivability damage.

If I bring my ramps down, some picks, screwdrivers, pliers, and a small ratchet set would that be feasible to remove this hose?

I know those quick connectors can be a massive pain in the ass to release. I think last time they were off was maybe a year and a half ago when I was replacing my radiator. So hopefully it shouldn’t be too tough.

Anyone ever replace this before and any tips for me? Or is it a pretty standard disconnect and swap? It’s going to be hot as hell, humid, buggy, and I will be doing it in the dirt and leaves. Just trying to make it as easy on my as possible.

Thank you!

Stayed at my mom’s place this weekend and went through some photo albums… noticed the RSX S in the background. Circa 2002. Crazy to see one of my (at one point) dream cars in a childhood photo.

Maybe a month or so ago my bike got rained on for several days while I was out of town. Fuel pump sounds kinda weird pre start up. No riding issues whatsoever but figured I’d ask to see if anyone knows what’s up with it?

Title pretty much explains it. Used to be really smooth and cut off after a few seconds. Fuel pump sounds super choppy now. I’ve ridden probably over a thousand miles since it’s been doing this with 0 issues whatsoever, but figure I’d ask and see what’s up so I can go ahead and get it fixed.

Appreciate it boys. Mechanically inclined but I don’t know much about motorcycle maintenance aside from the simple stuff like sparks, injectors, coils, etc.

Again bike rides like nothing is wrong. but… ya know. Would rather get it sorted out than pay later on down the road. .

2006 GSXR 750.
