Yeah, in the aviation industry at least, all the big paying jobs are with carrier airlines. Unfortunately the working conditions are asshole and you get thrown into the asshole midnight shift.

Northrop pays a bit more, but it's kinda dull manufacturing work.

>car vloggers are proof that mainstream car culture is shit

I'm convinced that the younger generation has no actual interest in auto mechanics. These "enthusiasts" spend more time trying to sell self-branded clothing than they do wrenching. And when they do modify something, it's always cosmetic. Just like computers are slowly become fisher price toys, so too will cars.

That's why i love motorcycles so much. Some people (hipsters) do focus too much on the cosmetics, but you can also get hurt if you don't take it seriously.

The weird thing about SpaceX is they use A&P's as general do everything labor that doesn't require an engineer. Typical aerospace companies will have junior and senior engineers where SpaceX uses engineers (often junior and fresh out of school or have minimal experience, because they're cheaper) for actual engineering and uses A&P's for the handywork at a much lower rate. So you'll find A&P's doing general assembly technician type jobs for low (for an A&P) wages.

I guess the SpaceX theory is that A&P's have a skillset similar enough to aerospace rocket construction that they are useful, and cheaper than aerospace/mechanical engineers to do the simpler jobs. SpaceX is the only spaceflight focused aerospace that employs A&P's so extensively that I know of. I can pretty much guarantee it's a bid to keep production costs down on their 'economical' rockets.

Once upon a time I had aspired to work at SpaceX (mechanical engineer). Then I realized that while less inspiring, working for a utility (PG&E, Edison, DWP, etc.) is both more lucrative and requires almost no work. And I get a company car/gas card for absolutely no reason..

In terms of seeing cool shit/cool shit to do at work everyday, SpaceX takes the cake easily.

In terms of everyday happiness, leisure, and sanity. A more mundane, slower paced, and lucritive job is the answer.

My job is literally to make sure 1.5 million wood utility poles aren't going to fall over. and get people to inspect/replace the one's in danger of falling over.

Company car, company phone, company gas, great pay, and I work from home half the time.

Sorry SpaceX, I'm lazy and I like it.

I didn't know penning 10 page formal essays in crowded lecture halls was such an important part of civic life. I didn't know having them be on controversial topics was so important either. In fact, I've never seen anyone doing that for leisure or employment outside of broadcast and print media.

A liberal arts degree is more of a test of willpower than anything else. If I were running an HR department, I would hire people with degrees over tech certificates just because they imply that people will do anything asked of them no matter how poorly or excellently they can do it, with no qualms about turning in work that might be low quality, offensive, or in any way less than perfect, because everyone gets a C for effort.

Bike has a blown fork seal. Want to have them rebuilt. While in there I want to ahve them revalved. May as well do the shock too while I'm at it.

Is there any cheaper way to go about this than paying the $1100 to Racetech to ahve them do it?

Sure I could do it myself and save $200 in labor but I'd have to buy $150 worth of tools, not really a value proposition.

Is re valving forks/shocks worth it or should I just get the seal fixed and ride on?

brake discs usually last and pads are cheap
chain/sprocket are 100-200 bucks, also easy to do and something you don't do more than 2 times before getting a new bike anyway
only annoying things are shock/forks and valve adjustments


but if everything isn't occuring at once and you don't put maintenance off that shouldn't be too bad. 1000-1500 bucks in maintenance over I'd say 50k km isn't really bad

This is why I always tell /dbt/ not to obsess over whether or not people are nobikes or not because it's quite clear that having a bike does not make you not fucking retarded.

>>16393932
yeah if you're budgeting a 90s 250cc / 500cc will get you probably the most mileage per buck.

>>16393940
honestly I think bikes have more potential than people say/think. Most guys just neglect regular maintenance or crash the bike.

>>16393933
it's all the parts around the engine that are the problem

i mean, you don't HAVE to replace them. noone ever crashed just because of an old brake hose, or a notchy steering head bearing. but it's a pretty good idea.

But still, 100,000 miles is more than 90% of bikes will ever see before they're scrap due to lack of maintenance or crashing like you said.

The F4i is just a bulletproof freak of nature.

They are two completely different bikes.

One is a low maintenance street legal endure. The other is a high strung, maintenance intensive enduro.

Just because they have similar names and the same displacement doesn't mean they are anywhere near the same class of bike.

Exactly, the wr250f is superior in every way unless you are a lazy prick who can't do a few hours of engine maintenance once a month.

btw why do people keep saying the wr250f is not street legal?
The yz250f and yz250fx are not street legal, the wr250f comes plated from the factory though.

your point was stupid and you were stupid for making it. The WR250R and WR250F are only comparable in that they have the same displacement, are made by the same manufacturer, and have a similar name.
They are otherwise two completely different bikes with two completely different purposes.

You're a retard.

I'd rather have a capable on road/off road bike that will reliably do 3000 miles without any maintenance at all. Can hang on the freeway at 7-80mph without issue, and gets 70mpg.

See I actually ride my bikes.

>WR250F is street legal.
No it isn't. They don't even come with turn signals, mirrors, or DOT legal tires. Let alone a plate.

>>16394032
WR450F is not street legal just like the WR250F. Also the WR450F doesn't have a 6th gear and has terrible maintenance intervals as well, just like the WR250F.

>who takes a dirt bike on a freeway anyway?
The WR250R is not a dirt bike. It's a dual sport that is perfectly comfortable on the freeway. And on twisty backroads.

>>16394051
Depends on what bike it is.
MX bikes have shit transmissions for highway speeds (very close ratios).
Wide ratio enduros (like the WRFs) do better but are still terrible beause of shit maintenence intevals.

Bikes like the WR250R/X were meant for the road/freeway and it's no issue at all.

Depends.
i had to do a full engine rebuild because the bottom end bearing let go and seized the crank, that was at near 300 hours /15,000km on the engine though and it probably wouldnt have happened if the bike didnt sit without starting for nearly 3 years in storage which rusted the bearings in the engine

>>16394075
with what gearing?

>>16394084
13/43

>>16394075
and 100mph is 160km/h.
All that means if you have tall gearing which would make an already underpowered bike even less powerful.

I hate to think how long it takes to get to 160, if you put a smaller sprocket on the front it would top out at 140kmh and get there a few seconds faster than it would have before.

>>16394089
That's the stock bike gearing.

>I hate to think how long it takes to get to 160
Who cares? it's a 250 dual sport. Who rides around at 100mph anyway? Let alone timing how long it takes to get there.

It gets up to 70-75mph faster than traffic and will sit there all day, that's all that matters.

Also it's a 6 gear bike, 1st through 4th are pretty short gears for dat acceleration.

>>16394087
Try 12/45.
It will cut 10mph off your top speed and give you a hell of a lot of acceleration.

>>16394095
1st gear is useless on all 250's.
most start in 2nd unless on a hill

Thats just about its only use when the gearbox is a dogbox.

>I normally start in 3rd gear on my dirt bike.
Then your dirt bike is geared stupid.

That is not the correct use of your gearbox or your clutch.

>>16394112
It is geared 13/52 and tops out at 150kmh in 5th, i don't think it needs to go faster than that if i am honest.

>>16394116
If you're not using the first 2 gears in your transmission your bike is not geared tall enough.

Maybe 1st is always useless unless you make every gear above it useless and making 2nd gear worth using makes 3rd too short, 4th too tall and 5th unusable under 150kmh

>>16394129
is it worth forking out bulk $$$ on mx boots or will combat boots be alright for the less intense riding.

>>16394129
That doesn't make sense anon. Most bikes have roughly equal spacing between gears.

If you use 3rd your starting gear you could regear the bike so 2nd is equivelent to your original third gear, then ahve an additional gear at the top for cruising and still have first as a shorter gear.

It just fucks with everything, the bike is easiest to ride with that gearing, id probably gear it 14/45 if i was riding it on the road though.
>>16394136
If you are riding off road at all you need mx boots, think about it like this, half the time when you come off even when going slow the bike will may land on you and when it does its entire weight might hit your foot though the foot peg and i don't think your foot would look very pretty afterwards if you had combat boots on.

Anything with laces is also a bad idea as they will get caught in the sprockets/chain then suck your foot in.

"I turned the Beemer around and started back - and Dave appeared. It turns out that the radiator of his Kawasaki had completely clogged with the mud of the Haul Road, leaving his bike to overheat. The on-board computer, sensing the temperature rising cleverly shifted the bike to a limp home mode. This is actually a neat feature, you are slowed down to where a chasing wolf could catch you, but you keep sputtering and moving. And we hoped that the temps were contained to a point where the engine would sustain no damage.

The grades on the South end of the Dalton are steep - even when pavement is reached - for the run into Fairbanks, there are a lot of grade changes.

I let Dave ride ahead - but he was moving slowly - I trailed with my flashers on. We eventually reached a restaurant and I was able to wheedle some buckets and access to their outside faucet - Dave tossed 6 or so buckets of water into the radiator trying to flush out some of the baked in mud, but this was really a job for a high pressure washer. And a stack of quarters. The water did however cool the bike sufficiently so regular riding speeds were regained. We reached Fairbanks, found a car wash and he blew his clogged radiator clean.

The BMW was a bit dirty and benefited from being hosed down as well."

You still get an incredibly reliable machine, but someone has already taken over 50% of the depreciation, and you are well within the design/maintenance intervals where you won't get random breakages and overhauls. Plus it's still pretty easy to sell a bike with 30k miles because there's still some life left in it.

On that, I find that my ownership per bike keeps getting longer and longer. When you start out you want to test and own as many bikes as possible, after a few years you pretty much have the novelty of memebikes worn of, and you know what you want. That's where you can highmile one bike and it becomes like a trusted friend over time.

First hand I can say that the MV Agusta F4 is easy to work on, mainly because of based DZUS fasteners

I appreciate it but unfortunately I actually sold it a few weeks ago.
Occasionally I regret doing so.

I just drove it back last night and it's still dark out so here's a random one I found online

Paid $5500, has 23k miles on it, and sounds like sex. Produces 175hp and has no electronics besides suspension adjustment so i'll probably die on it eventually :^)

>>16394827
I hope you plan on tracking it

genuinely curious, do you live in the alps or something? Like that's probably one of the fastest all-round roadbikes money can buy, do you have anywhere you can open it up?

>that useless pillion strap

All of my bikes have had these, they're fucking pointless. You can get like, two or three ungloved fingers under them. How do these make it through design and ergonomics commitees?

>>16394856
I live in northern California, there's lots of nice curvy roads around me.

>commiefornia

of course you'd buy a bike made in one of the most cucked countries in the world

>>16394882
at least it was made before they were cucked

thats not a Z750 thats a Z750S

anyways its a great bike, lovely engine.

>>16394912
yes it truly outclasses the 125s it was designed to compete against

>>16394912
does it show it's heavier weight compared to it's competitors? Especially when you filter through traffic, or in corners. And what exhaust is that?

its pretty agile actually you just have to work it a little harder.

Its a shark conic slip-on. Cheap, loud and pretty.
