Your pictures prove otherwise. Pro-tip: You should not upload incriminating evidence to the internet.
Note to self: Do not download incriminating pictures...

Very very cool! I am jealous of the 3D printer. What type of plastic did you use for the oil block off plate?
After finding an internal momentary short in the cheap ass Chinese ignition switch on my mower reconstruction project I am replacing the switch with an American made Stens #430-538 switch. That will take some rewiring of the switch harness today. The difference in quality of the switches is very plainly evident. Moving around with my swollen legs is difficult too.

I spent months in a cast after having a motorcycle accident. When they took the cast off, I was shocked how my leg had wasted. The first physiotherapy session they wanted to see how far I could bend it. Not enough to get my hand underneath my knee when on the table!

Casts can do strange things. I used to heal real fast and it seemed like my body wanted the casts off in about 2/3 the normal time. I took a few off myself and everything worked OK. But my ex-wife was always a 'Doctors are Gods' type and she turned me in to get the casts put back on a few times. Then things went to hell, my muscles wasted away, joints froze up, etc. People heal at different rates. People are different , our bodies are not all the same as much as 'doctors' would like to believe. At the same time I believe the physical therapy instructions must be followed to the letter. Those people observe and test and adjust therapy as required, unlike rigid thinking doctors.
Diabetes has really screwed things up. A few medications that were like poison to me have messed things up even worse. Right now my legs are all swollen which I think may be a reaction to Amlodipine and insulin therapy called 'insulin edema syndrome'. Treatment is slow and if I don't lose my feet or legs to infection and amputation I should walk ~OK again. My balance problems are another complication.

It's amazing the things you thought you would never need, till you have a 3D printer. The possibilities are limitless.

I had 1 GoPro replaced and bought a third so I needed to put fur on both of those and give them haircuts. Trying to get ready for a trip to Tennessee after the weekend. If I end up on the Tail of the Dragon, I wanna show you what a professional rider looks like… …so I figured with 3 cameras I should be able to spot one if they’re around.

Going to embarrass some more sports bikes?
