  1. Figured out the problem. One of the fittings in the sandwich plate was hitting a fin on the crank case and preventing it from sealing. Ground the offending part of the fitting (the hex) off, and now there's no room to get the female fitting on. So now I can try and find a street 90 and hope it clears, or find a 90° 1/4 to -AN6 fitting and hope that clears. Also going to email the manufacturer and alert them of this ridiculous design flaw.
  2. So the position I was interviewing for is supervisor of manufacturing. All of it. They are actually considering putting me in charge of their entire manufacturing operation. Not sure if I'm the guy.
  3. The TL Was known for eating chains too. 42k is probably a record.
  4. My bandit is the same way, fun all day in the low and mid-range, but is an absolute screamer up top.
  5. Spent about 3 hours yesterday fabricating mounting hardware, building braided -AN lines and plumbing in my new oil cooler. Started the bike up and it puked about 2 quarts of oil. Damn sandwich plate didn't seal to the crank case. Investigating and fixing it tomorrow with Jamal. Then pics of my work.
  6. Just when that 1300 comes up on the cams and I think nivin is gonna pour the coal to her so I can hear her sing.....he doesn't. #doyoueventhrottlebro?
  7. To the forum. I went ahead and uploaded it to YouTube and just posted the link but I guess I thought that I should be able to direct upload it to the forum like a pic. Guessing there's a size limit because of limited server space?
  8. Dude. How many times must I tag @Casper before he addresses this issue? @Tonik? Someone?
  9. Interview scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. Will update after.
  10. videos still wont load off my phone. @Casper your shit is broken.
  11. emailed my updated resume last night. got a response about 15 minutes ago. they will contact me to set up an interview soon.
  12. Uploaded to Facebook with no problem. I blame @Casper for this.
  13. Tried again with a different file and it still fails the upload. Failure to process video -200
  14. Picked up a knockoff Chinese GoPro on wish for $35. Shipped in a week and appears to be of decent quality. Claims 4k but I doubt that. Has various frame rates for 1080 and 720. Came with the usual waterproof case, bunch of adaptors and straps and sticky things. Didn't get to play with it much today, was too busy. Tomorrow the dogs have a playdate with the boxer around the corner and I'm going to attempt to attach it to one of the dogs collars. Maybe one day I'll even dust my bike off and record a ride or two. Has WiFi which will make uploading vids a snap Just tried uploading a short video of the dog but it keeps failing. Played the file from my phone and it plays fine. Not sure what the problem is, it's an 18 mb MP4 file....shouldn't be an issue.
  15. Finished the installation and wiring on the ignition switch on the Honda, redid the gauge wiring, slapped it inside some split tube conduit (it was an ugly dogfuck of a mess) and crammed it all inside the headlight bucket. Started on the plumbing for the oil cooler today. Pain in the dick. The adaptor plate is a bitch to put on the bike and I had to pull it off to install the 1/4 npt to AN6 adaptor. Hate building AN fittings amd hoses but once this is done it will look super clean and cool my oil much better than the other cooler did. Need to work on the mounts for the cooler, it's on there but not my best work. Once it's done, I'll probably get it detailed and ride it 5 times this summer. Or sell it... Who wants a stupid fast vintage muscle bike?
  16. ^^^ wishes he was uncut so he could dock with @Tonik
  17. not a bad idea. was thinking more along the lines of a signing bonus tho. gotta lure me away for the same pay basically as i'm making now.
  18. gonna send a resume in. fuck it, its worth a shot.
  19. i agree that a company that young is pretty risky, but they're in a growth business and they make some seriously high-end equipment. company is called systech stainless. idk, i might try and do the following: get my resume to him this week and maybe get an offer. if i do, i'll volunteer for the layoff that becomes effective next friday. it's a temporary layoff, so i'd be called back in a few months. in those few months i could feel things out and see if i'm a good fit and vice versa. virtually no risk to me....if i like the new gig, i just decline my recall rights when the layoff is over. if it isnt working out, i go back to work at my current place. but a plan is just a list of shit that's not going to happen the way you think it will, so probably fantasy.
