I’m not sure I’d call it an Arcane tattoo per se, but a lot of it is Arcane inspired

Don’t let them keep our pay suppressed. I got paid more than that a decade ago.

I've had this thing for probably close to a decade and the rear brake has never really worked. It'll hold it still at a stop but it won't do much more than that.

I've tried bleeding it every which way. Gravity, pressure, vacuum, on the bike and off, caliper high and caliper low, etc.

Not the biggest deal on this bike, I mostly just miss skidding into a stop, so it's never been high enough on my priority list to actually dig into it past the occasional "hmm maybe if I bleed it like this" but it'd be generally preferable to have it working.

Any thoughts? Blown master cylinder maybe?

(There was a second bag)

Spring cleaning time. Found this guy in the basement, family friend gave it to me somewhere in the mid 00’s, thought I’d pass it along to someone who’d use it.

Then I looked it up on eBay and I’m seeing prices from $500-2000. Zero sold listings. Apparently it’s some kind of rare collector thing?

Can anyone give me an idea of what this thing is worth so I can send it off to fb marketplace?

I’ll be moving from the burbs to downtown soon and was thinking about maybe picking up something a bit more lightweight than I have in my current stable for short hops around town.

(Current stable being an 1199 Pani, an 1100S Hyper, and a turbo Busa streetfighter. And some active projects).

The 1100S is my favorite bike ever, having owned just about everything, so naturally the 698 Mono caught my eye.
But after digging into it the cons list is looking bigger than the pros list. As I see them:

- DSSA. Let’s avoid the argument and chalk it up to personal taste.
- Wet clutch. Same caveat.
- None of the liveries are all that great imo.
- It’s not any lighter than my 1100S. Listed 333lbs wet without fuel, my 1100S sits around 350lb (done some weight shaving). Load that 698 up with 3gal of fuel at 6lb/gal and it’s about even.

The biggest standout pro I’m seeing is the seat and riding position being more conforming to a proper supermoto, and hopping curbs and cutting through alleyways is on the menu here, so a more agreeable riding position for said hooning would be welcome.

(A proper sm is off the table, I’m uninterested in maintenance intervals measured in hours for what’s essentially going to be a commuter).

I haven’t test rode one yet, and I will before making a decision, but I’ve seen a lot of posts about these and figured I’d ask people who own them if I’m overlooking anything here. I want to like it.

In a lot of the action moments there are these flashes when one character hits another or something like that. But it turns out they're not just flashes, there are like 1-3 frames of these outline sketches that depict the thing happening.

This one is Caitlyn getting kicked in the face, it's not the coolest of them but it seemed like the least spoliery. The normal animation has her opponent spinning around for the kick, then a flash when the kick connects, then Caitlyn falling over... and if you're just casually watching that's all it looks like. But there are I think 2 frames in that flash, the first showing the kick landing and second pictured here.
So much work for such an unseen detail. When you're watching it, it just looks like a bright flash animation.

One of my favorites of the ones I've found so far is [finale spoiler] >!when Maddie pulls the trigger. The sketch frame that flashes as the gun goes off has this big Cheshire grin on her face that makes it seem like she's actually enjoying this, in contrast to her last words.!<

I'd love to find an album or something with all of these frames in there, they're cool as hell and I never really realized they were there.

Someone came into my bar last night with a tribal ID card. It's just a basic printed plastic card, like a school ID, no security features or anything to scan (and the ink had like half worn off too). Indefinite expiration. I asked if they had a state ID to provide instead and they got immediately argumentative like they're looking for a reason to turn it into a thing.

E: Card looked like this (example from google): https://www.azcentral.com/gcdn/presto/2018/08/30/PPHX/02876646-65b4-43a1-ae52-fb80c8056bf0-Edited_Card.jpg

I can't find ANY conclusive bit of info from any kind of official source on whether a tribal ID card is valid for alcohol sales in CO. The best I'm finding is old reddit discussions where half the people insist they're valid and the other half say bars always turn them away.

Can anyone help dig up some relevant statute?
