I also have a 1200GS with Jesse Bags. They don’t look great but they’re tough.

I share my location with my wife. I can see what time she’ll be home when she’s leaving work. She gets to see which ditch I crashed my motorcycle into.

I worked for the US division of a German company and found that the culture even for the US workers was very respectful of time off and appropriate working hours. I hated the job because I was customer facing and our customers were typically large US companies, but the German company was a great company to work for.

Afraid.org is what I’ve been using ever since dyndns started charging big prices for what used to be free.

The best accessory that I can recommend is a top case. I know they look super dorky but they are by far the most handy way to carry some extra shit while you’re out riding. I had a Givi on my GS that could hold a 30 pack of beer which was very handy.

My wife repurposed a knock-off Pelican from Harbor Freight as a top case for her Honda 300L. I mooch storage space in her top case all the time because my KTM 500 has no structure to support a top case.

The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I’d like to see more in the shows.

We have 4x200 watt Renogy panels on the roof for a total of 800 watts of solar. I DIYed a Lifepo4 battery using 4x272 amp hour 3.2 volt Lishen cells for a 12.8 volt nominal battery that can provide roughly 3500 watt hours of energy. The cells are managed with an Overkill Solar BMS.

Why shoes near elbows? Everything else makes sense but I don’t get the shoe placement.

I was able to donate to Ernest who runs kbin. I can’t find the link at the moment but it is floating around here somewhere.
