I’m a pseudo-expert at all of the different ways to pick up fully-loaded adventure motorcycles. I also specialize in getting them from an upright position, to being on the ground.
I also dabble in evidence based practices in the criminal justice system focused on reducing recidivism and reentry services.When I’m not riding motorcycles. EDIT: my wife is an expert in explaining to me exactly what I did wrong to cause our motorcycle to fall over. Usually while she watches me pick it back up. |

Well, I was brought up on a dairy farm. Went to school to learn artificial insemination.
I have "sired" probably 500 calves. That was years ago. I also can rebuild Roosa Master injection pumps with my eyes closed. (Well, except for calibration on the rack) Damn, that was years ago too! I am an old fart! |

Electromagnetic compatibility testing. Specifically MIL-STD-461 but also most of the mainstream IEC standards. Don't do automotive or DO-160

@denverdan Interested to hear you elaborate. I'm a substation engineer myself. I'm our in house transformer expert, they're something I really enjoy digging into. I was reading through the thread to see if anyone had mentioned substations yet. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I know quite a bit about electric substations and the power grid in general. However I’m 100% certain there are guys here that know more than me. Well I’m a substation electrician. So pretty much you engineer it and I install, maintain, and repair it. My personal favorite thing to do is rebuild LTCs. I tend to gravitate towards the mechanical side of the job. I see you’re in MN you may have engineered subs for the company I work for. |

I'm a pretty good firearms instructor, but I know a few posters here that make me look like an amateur.
When it comes to Maritime Security though, if there is someone here more knowledgeable than I on ISPS and 33 CFR subchapter H, I'd like to chat |

I'd say that I'm one of the best, if not the best, at pointing out academic corruption and flaws in current scientific theories.
I may not be able to explain it any better than they do, but at least I'm honest about the difference between law, theory and hypothesis. |

Related, I've repeatedly nuked the shit out of the "vaccinate all the things" sycophants.
With Math... Bitches. |

I know a little about a lot of things, but not so much as to be an expert at any one thing.
Given the choice, I would have a hard time deciding if it would be worth it to be one of the best in the world at something but helpless in all other areas, or to remain in my current state where I am an expert at nothing but "mediocre" at a great many things. |

I've won four show awards with my vintage BMWs and was invited to be a vintage bike judge at Barber Motorsports Park one year. Though technically there is a delineation between antique BMWs (1923-1945), vintage BMW's (1950-1969) and classic BMW's (1969-1974). And now those categories are being redrawn, with some vintage bikes entering the antique category, and the classic category now including BMW motorcycles up to the mid 1980's. If I still had my 1956 R50, it would be as old as me, and I'm definitely feeling more antique than vintage... |

Ok I am extremely fluent in BMW bikes from 1955 to 2005, more so in Moto Guzzi from 1972 to 2015, Laverda from the 70's. Mercedes and BMW cars from 1976 to 2017. Its my job, I like to be right as often as possible. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I've won four show awards with my vintage BMWs and was invited to be a vintage bike judge at Barber Motorsports Park one year. It was my 15 minutes of fame (actually a decade). It was one of the first motorcycle sites built by a designer (no default gray background, no default Times Roman, no default anything. It was actually pretty trick for those days). It got traffic from all over the planet because it was the ONLY online knowledge point for vintage BMW motorcycles. Then the Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners Association asked me to build their site. It seemed pointless to maintain two sites with essentially the same content, so I merged mine into theirs, and then turned the whole thing over to another guy. |

I know a good bit about wild edible/medicinal plants and fungi in the Northeast. Alas, to call myself an expert would be dishonest. I've simply read books on them then hunted and tested many plants upon myself.
I also know the location of probably the largest patch of monotropa uniflora in North America. |

I guarantee there are guys on this board who know more about the shit I do for a living than I do.

I can hold my own in quite a few areas but I am certainly not best and maybe not even very good at them.
If I had to pick one thing I might be best at (on AFR at least) it would have to get pretty job specific and esoteric. I could probably come out on top if the project was to train subjects to attend to the interoceptive stimulus effects of a drug. (if you have to look up what that means I am better than you are at it . |

Let's have a print-off! Been in it since 1985, started in hot lead and moved from windmills and a Linotype to a 4-color Heidelberg, stripped, ran a litho camera, proofed, and then 25 years of digital pre-press and graphic design. Supervised, estimated, and ran about every machine in a commercial offset & digital environment at one time or another. Not many of us left, after the great internet purge.
