Im having a bad couple of days. Met with an ex yesterday under the pretense of FWB. Turns out she just wanted to spend 1/2 an hour bragging about her new boyfriend. Still had feelings for her. Hurt like a mofo.

Also still trying to get the yellow bike working. It starts and idles. But the diaphram on the rear carb isnt opening up under load and its leaking gas (still). Its pissing me off and I have no idea what to do.

I feel like everything I do these days is one step forward two steps back. And its really starting to get to me now.

welcome to the club. best you can do is set secondary things aside (like stupid ex-girlfriends) and just focus on you.

She sounds toxic. You deserve better.

Here’s a lovely shot of my bike cooling its heels in some nice shade.

Sorry, it’s mostly obstructed by this hideous beast.

Just stay away from people like that, pretend they don’t exist until it becomes truth.

My XJ750, currently in the middle of a “handle bar swap”, which quickly delved into, I want to relocate all my bar switches to a hidden location and while I’m at it I’m going to simplify this horrid wiring harness which holy crap it’s tied into everything what have I done, and now its so stinking hot out that it’s been this way for a week.

And here’s a Street Bob, because I really like them and I’m fairly certain I’m gonna sell my Sportster and pick one of these up next year.

Also, feel better, life sucks sometimes, it does get better though.

Since I know you love Desmo’s! Wink, wink! And regarding the chick- fuck her bullshit! If she’s calling and talking to you, her new bf clearly isn’t all that.... Next time she calls, tell her you’re busy ‘elsewhere’...

Nothing we say can convince you that you deserve better, as Nibby tried to say. So instead I suggest to switch your attention to just doing you. stop talking to her, in the words of someone: Let the bridges you burn light the way forward. I recently started talking to my ex-wife, and we both reminisced of the good times, which hurt like a #$%.. and even had dreams we got back together. But some things are just not meant to be, like water and oil, or water and cylinders lol. Point being, get out there and try to ride, ease your mind. What kind of music are you into? I could send you some stuff I listen to that helps me get my mind off crap

RedlineZ bought an SV (And is getting rid of the z) > bob and john 07/23/2016 at 00:55

Here’s my SV after I got the undertail on but forgot to drill the license plate bracket. Also I found a tail cowl overseas and got it for 175 shipped across the Atlantic. On a more serious note if you ever find yourself in north New Jersey give me a shout and I'll buy ya a beer even if it's just American swill.

Late to the party, but still want to add to the cheer. How about...before and after pics?

These have both given me some trouble and I had to see things through on both of them. Especially the ZRX, she was not nice to me as I worked through her issues.

ZRX 1200R Before:

ZRX 1200R After:

Current bike, 2008 M50 Before (yep, she was pulling pack mule duty that day):

After (Sort of, she’s still my work-in-progress, or WIP for short):

Bad shit happens, and kicks us in the face when it does. Stay with it, and see it through. You’ll feel better about yourself, and while that’s some b.s. about what your ex did to you, everything’s working out for the best. Just trust that you’ll look back one day in the near future, and see that it was all for the best.
