My plans with Stryker going forward (mods)
I’ve been thinking a lot how to personalize my Yamaha Stryker or make it better overall π They say do not make plans as they will not come true, but I already have most of the parts in hand, so I only need some time and engineering to fit everything in place. You can read…

My first “ZERO” electricity bill!
It’s in Lithuanian, but you get the point π “No subscription fees” for both storing and transfer of electricity – so zeroes all the way π The grid operator takes 12% cut of all electricity I’ve pushed to them in a month so if my solar does not make any – zero for them too…

Motorcycle exhaust modifications – Yamaha Stryker
I have failed technical inspection with my Yamaha’s exhaust being too loud so I’ve done several mods to the existing COBRA slip-on to make it more silent. I’ve got it used with the bike and I believe it was already tampered with (no foam or mesh inside) although I’m not sure it should come stuffed,…

Moto trip to Austria – Day 3
Day 3 – rainy, cloudy and cold day, hence the easy ride. We’ve split into two groups, one went through the mountain road and the rest of us – around. Though it will be too cloudy to see anything up top and too cold/rainy to make the ride pleasant π So for me it was…

Moto trip to Austria – Day 2
Going over the mountains – at first I thought we were going the wrong way as it was just a narrow paved road straight up and down π eventually bumped into the dead end at someone’s house on the top of the hill π few wrong turns later – we’re back on track to Hallstatt.…

Moto trip to Austria – Day 1
Next morning – hop on motorcycles and head to Austria π Heading from Czechia: couldn’t get any decent food or even tea as they don’t take euros or cards in cafeterias – only local tugriks (what’s the currency there?…right – Czech koruna) …whatever, just passing through π had to resort to the gas station food…
