To be honest you get kind of used to seeing certain things in rural places. It honestly wasn't the focus of the photo, but I realized that some folks get extra sensitive to things, so I went and edited the photo and updated it.
I debated purchasing an integrated comm for my first nice helmet, a Shoei Neotec. I am glad I went to a standalone unit instead. That helmet did not end up working out for me and I was able to move my comm to my next helmet. Otherwise, I would have been stuck with two very expensive paper weights.
Two things come to mind as long as you aren't noticing any issues with shift into gears.
Your cable could be binding up and needs to be lubricated. They make lube for motorcycle cables that don't attract dirt that work pretty well.
Cable has worn out from lack of lubrication. If lubricating either doesn't help at all, or only helps for a few days, you may need to replace the cable with a new one.
The only thing I really can say is Manchin is a better option than the Republican that would most likely replace him. Kind of like how it is preferable to be stabbed through the hand over being stabbed in the face.
It's not an exclusively Alternative station, but a fairly wide ranging mix of classics, b-sides, world, electronic, etc. All fairly low-key but interesting.
They introduced me to so many bands over the years. And it is rare to not hear something I fall in love with any time I turn them on.
I'm in Salt Lake City, so while we get snow, it is nothing like the NE. Often my primary bikes get none of that treatment, but I usually get a couple clear, but cold, days every month to ride. But I have a couple that don't get out often so we wrap them up at the end of the season.
The reason as I've come to understand it, Everytime the engine is run it leaves contaminants behind in the oil. And a fresh change when you put it up for the winter means you aren't leaving gas, moisture, carbon, etc. hanging out in the crankcase.
Flat spots don't normally become a thing unless it's been a few years.
If you can afford those motorcycle pod things, I hear good things. But we have a couple of bikes that do time outside. The big things are to keep it covered even the cheap covers from Amazon will do the job. Park it up cleaned, with fresh oil and fuel stabilizer if it's going to sit the entire season. Sometimes we pull the battery and hook it up to a tender.
