On my quest to rid my ride of rust I found the contaminants on the backrest mounts to be unacceptable. Take a look:
Sure it is not bad, but then again, it isn’t good, either.
I did replace all of the rusty bolts, however, the powdercoating seems to be eaten away and what is left remaining is a layer of rust.
Current investigating technical remediation for this that involve sandblasting and powdercoating.

Refreshing Eclipse
After installing a customized version of Eclipse I was horrified to find that automatic workspace refresh was disabled!
Not anymore.
Do Looks Matter?
After posting this it got me thinking about a conversation I had with one of my friends. He argued that how a bike looks doesn’t really matter since you are in fact riding it and you will never see it 90% of the time. I agree; it is true.
Keeping your bike fit and finished just shows that you value your investment :).

Trickle Charging
Due to scheduling difficulties (project deadlines, semester endings, family homecomings), I put off hooking up my battery to a trickle charger (which I’d yet to purchase). After letting her sit around in the teens and single-digits (in a garage) for the last month or so I was pleasantly surprised to find that my buddy had a charger to loan me, space to leave it in his basement, and finally that the battery only needed about 2m of charging for the charger to give it the thumbs up. Awesome!
