Wrestling with wheels and tires on my DRZ400SM. Am taking it to the track and wanted to get the knobbies off and put Q3s on. I'm not used to dealing with tubes, and everything seems to be fighting me right now. It's a real pain. Topper; after I got the front wheel bolted back up and everything...

yuuuuup.

I'm about to throw a set on a DRZ400SM that I'm going to track. Can't wait to try them out...

Must have been a hell of a stoppie.

Quiet, you. We're learning physics now. Now...carry on with the lesson (seriously, I love this stuff). ...but I see what you did there...

I get what you're saying; a tightness across the middle of the back almost like elastics being stretched. It's a relatively new pain for me too; I'm used to pain in my lower back, but this is a bit new. It's not world-ending, but it's irritating and I can't seem to stretch it out. Since my setup...

I have a friend of mine who is an instructor with RawHyde, where Harley did a press event. He's a BMW GS guy through and through. He rides hard. Way harder than I do. And he loved the bike. Spent 2 days on one in all kinds of terrain, and he said he couldn't find a fault with it except the name...

Yup. Those thermal ratings reflect what will keep you alive, not what will keep you comfortable.

No, the niken is just a hilarious tricycle. The Burgman is the answer to every question.

This. Teacher's College is really accessible, and teachers are needed badly right now. Come join us!

This. Some of your kids are ********. We all have our stories... and again, this is different than having a bad employee, because you can't fire a student. A good teacher sticks with them and works to make whatever changes they can make in their lives because teaching isn't just about curriculum...

Cool. Glad this is a discussion and not ranting. Are we differentiating good teachers from bad, before we move forward? Or is it just all teachers. Because bad employees exist everywhere, so I' don't really see any argument that just focusses on bad teachers to be useful or productive; that's...

This is the truth; one way of seeing that is that the education sector has always needed more than any government has been able to provide, though it's easy to have a field day with my statement... I'll still leave it out there

Just paraphrasing to make sure that I understand; teachers make too much money as a blanket statement? Or, more specifically, teachers, as a whole, aren't worth the money they're paid?

That I can completely understand.

Re striking... Do we think that teachers should never strike? Or that there's never a reason good enough to strike? Or that there's another mechanism for making political change? My questions sound leading when I read them out loud, but I don't mean them to be. I'm not pro strike. But I am...

TY for that. Mostly public sector unions bad (too much power, their goals not aligned with the goals or society or teaching [in your analogy they would rather do well than do good], etc). --- ok, agreed, for the most part. I think unions academically can be very important, because we have...

I chose to go back to school to become a teacher in 2016. I left a long, lucrative career in the financial sector because, as I've said to people, "I'd like to do good, instead of just doing well". My accident in 2017 obviously cut all that short, and in Sept 2020m I chose (didn't have to...

I'll just have my butler take care of it. Seriously though, it's a legitimate, if the firstest of first world problems.
