I don't even have any friends in the local area that you could call "gear-heads" in even the most generic way...
I totally know what your mean, on all three counts.

I love to tinker & build and don't know anyone who gives a crap. Especially here in Japan, where people generally take their vehicle to the shop to do anything.

Reading your post reminded me of the blank looks I got trying to discuss/explain my power commander install & what fuel mapping is with the other expats that I work with.

It was interesting watching how fast your bike warms up with the ThermoBob. Definitely piqued my interest. Could be scheduled for my next round of mods. Riding this winter, I often thought the bike stays too cold. Since my commute is only about 15 minutes, it would rather that the bike warm up and stay properly warm.
