    Thank you for being you Gregor. You are an inspiration. A professor once told me that every business thinks they have a unique challenge, but in reality the major components are almost always the same. At it's core, it looks like your problem is making your potential customers understand that...

    Gregor, I and a lot of others have received so much from you. With your talents it's hard to help back from the Internet, but when it comes to your situation with Lara, a lot of us have some experience with dementia. A close relative was moved into a home this week. By the way you are...

    Much improved! I wish it wasn't a Super Enduro Erzberg, because that means it's one less on the road, but at this point, most of them are retired or semi-retired anyways I guess. Didn't it win an award at One Moto too? Like everything you bring?

    I am so sorry to heat about Lara. Dementia is awful. There is so much good information about how to handle it, but there is very little treatment. You have had a rough time. Depression is a sneaky *******. Don't be afraid to ask for help. It's easy to veer off course without noticing, and it...

    You don't need any advise at being awesome Gregor, and I don't know your financial situation, but my advise would be to get some equity in the house, and just be a boring divorced dad for a little while before you head into a big project. When it's all done and you are alone in the house, your...

    I am enjoying this, and prefer to keep quiet, but you really need to know about bmw2002faq.com. The Kügelfischer is a pain in th ... A real, matching-numbers tii is getting there in terms of value, and dropping too far into the aftermarket might be a gamble in regards to resale. However. A...

    So sorry for your loss, I hope you gain something else from it. You have two kids who will support you more than you realize now. Let them. Live your own life, it's easy to forget when you are both focused on your kids, but spending all your time waiting for them only builds resentment. If a...

    Visions- meet budget and incompetence

    So. This thing happened. The Intruder I was fixing for someone else was not really worth spending the labor cost on, so I arranged a sale, and it got a new home with someone looking for a winter project. Winter project? Sounds fun. That is how I got a non running GS450, as a winter project to...

    Visions- meet budget and incompetence

    Starting small, and probably keeping it that way. I've had a a fair bit of wood laying around, OSB, boards, 2x4s, some good, some bad. I decided it was time to get it all sorted. The materials I will use went in to a small stack in the garage(2x4-6-8), some will become firewood, and the last...

    @sakurama , please stop writing about the 890. I recently lowsided my 950 and insurance is covering everything. If I sell of the old beast, I might be able to afford one. I think, maybe, I might die if I get one. If so, my wife did it. I have been able to stick to my old bike just looking at...

    I completely agree. The Duc is awesome, but it is no 950. I am biased, there is a black 950 in my garage too, and there is nothing just like it, but that 890 R is as close as it gets, and better at everything but being a 950. Even getting hold of a new 890 R is hard, finding a used one I assume...

    So not a Ducati then. Unless Gregor needs a helicopter to go to visit Shahin. KTM 890?

    Visions- meet budget and incompetence

    Long time, no update. Well, it feels like not much has been done, but I've been doing little things, and some not all GJ-related. I did some work to the KTM during the winter, and really enjoyed myself. I had heat, lights, all my tools. Not saying it was perfect, but it was miles better than...

    Visions- meet budget and incompetence

    Thank you for all the kind words. I am not seeing another vintage car anytime soon. Even a ***** like me has to learn at some point(I tell myself gullibly). I will try to do a write-up about the BMW at some point, but that requires digging through some old hard drives, that I put, somewhere...

    How long has spray foam been popular for?

    Fairly common for at least 10 years. It is a bit of work to remove, but when you are removing old insulation it is probably not a small job anyways.
