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!

@Weasel_Master

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 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.

Depending on the year, he had an R25/3 or an R26 or -- more likely -- a 1960-66 R27.

They were good bikes, though under-powered.

1923, of course.

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...

Back in the mid-1990s, I built a site called The Vintage BMW Motorcycle Page. I hope you had a chance to visit it. It won the very first Hot Site award -- an award that soon became irrelevant.

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've put adventure bikes on the ground at speed and also standing still. I even crashed an F850GS into a wall once (where the fuck did THAT come from) and managed to still keep it upright.

But I bow to your expertise, since I once need help picking one up off the ground.

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 .
