SBK CVN-8 油箱包開箱文&測試文

騎檔車的人因為沒有置物空間這點,而對檔車又愛又恨。背背包嫌太重,裝漢堡嫌太醜,裝側箱又容易在停車時刮傷,因此能帶著走的油箱包就是另外一種選擇了。

此款油箱包的尺寸官方數據為長43*寬33*高19~27CM,容量27~36L。在看到數據時原本擔心裝在金勇會不會太大而妨礙騎車,但在實際安裝騎乘後覺得還OK。



油箱包的正面。材質屬於硬殼,所以沒放東西的時候還是可以很挺。
















包包上有貼碳纖維布,增加質感。不過我買到的有瑕疵,有兩處沒有貼得很平整,算缺點。















正面放置地圖的地方是利用魔鬼氈封口,使用起來算相當方便。
















掀開之後,裡面有兩層置物空間,一層網狀一層塑膠布面,大小約略只能放入A4紙張。















內部空間還算不錯,一本A4大小的硬板筆記本可輕鬆放入不用塞。
















提把加一條連接車體的繩子(我自己猜測的)
原本不知道這條繩子可以拿來幹嘛,後來想了一想,應該是油箱包的保險裝置。繩子的末端有洞,穿過把手之後再把扣環扣回。這樣一來,即使磁鐵沒能抓住包包,至少還有一條繩子拉住不會噴掉。(不過我懷疑噴掉的時候會不會直接捲到前輪去....)









黏在金勇上的樣子。

















照片拍完之後就直接出去試試穩固性,還在裡面放了一罐1500CC的礦泉水讓他滾來滾去的。測試地點則在關廟森林公園,高低起伏外加RALLY等級的登山路線上。在遇到起伏較大的路面或坑洞時,油箱包會有彈起的情況,不過因為是直上直下,所以不至於有掉落的危機。時速60過灣時也挺穩固,不會有不安心的感覺。

目前看到這款油箱包的最大缺點就是拉鍊,因為這個包包的拉鍊實在是相當難拉,不知道是不是新包包還是這是用大陸拉鍊,每個拉頭拉到幾個特定位置時都會卡住,沒辦法很順利的拉開。

除此之外,因為金勇的油箱不算大(我的是舊版9L),所以在原地迴轉的時候油箱包有很大的機會卡到啟動鈕、喇叭或方向燈鈕。雖然不會影響到原地迴轉,不過發動時再按到啟動鈕對啟動馬達也不好,算是小困擾。有大油箱或是分離低把車子應該就可以避免這種情況

總結來說,這款油箱包的功能性還算不錯,雖然我覺得後箱的實用性應該會更高,不過等我換車後再來考慮裝後箱吧。

退伍半個月了

退伍至今已是半個月了,但回想剛退伍的時候,其實感覺相當不真實,就跟入伍的時候一樣不真實,就像做了場11個月的夢。


新訓時雖然已經準備好要進儀隊,但事實上當時的心態還沒有準備要當兵。我想可能是常聽到別人說現在當兵已經很輕鬆了,而空軍也常被別人認為普遍較為輕鬆,所以入伍前覺得自己應該可以相當適應。入伍後,體能上或是生活上的確是適應得來,但心態上就很難調適了。為啥別人做錯我也會跟著被狗幹呢?為啥別人裝死就可以不用做事,而能力強的就活該倒楣得攬一堆事情做呢?為啥只早我六天退伍的學長可以從升上一兵之後就拼命擺老、腦袋空空地頤指氣使我們去做一些笨事情呢?


太多沒辦法用現實社會常理判斷的事情、心態、想法,讓我對這11個月的軍旅生涯沒啥特別的留戀,連帶讓我對當兵的地方有種極度的厭惡。台東知本是個好地方,好山好水,後頭一看山勢俊秀的知本山,前頭一瞧是清澈湛藍的太平洋,抬頭一仰是藍得很噁心的天空,但我想短期之內我不會再想要踏進台東縣....


但無論如何,我終究是退了。不免俗地,貼個退伍令,加上最後一張台東到台南的2056車次自強號。


知本鷹式飛彈連,掰掰啦....除了一些在那裡認識到的好人外,當兵對我來說只是讓我大腦空白一年,忘光大學、研究所學到的東西。



11個月換來一張紙






















11個月來,最有意義的一張紙

老兵八字輕

幾個月前, 大學好友阿宏告誡我快到退伍的時候做事要小心一點, 因為那個時候因為對各項業務及任務都已經熟悉了, 所以很容易一不小心就發生意外. 老哥在我破月時也說他們課長叫我快退伍時不要到處亂跑, 該擺老就擺老, 任務能躲則躲, 不要再去忙(課長關心到員工的弟弟去了=_=) 我覺得我行事算是相當小心, 而且天生勞碌命的我看到別人在忙自己在爽總是會有種罪惡感, 所以直到退伍前我還是會幫忙裝備的保養以及任務進行, 不過老兵八字輕這句話還真的印證在我身上....


飛彈連每半年都會有一個重大的半年保養, 在這半年保養期間要將平常較少保養的零件如中央機室內的管路進行保養, 或是更換定更定檢件如濾清器, 液壓油或黃油等. 原本有在想說在這半保期間排假,排上人手已經不太夠了,所以最後還是撩下去做半保.


在保養發射架扇形板時, 因為一直沒辦法把扇型板扣回去, 所以越弄越心浮氣燥, 卻沒注意到我的手放的位置是扇型板的前緣, 結果一心急大力扣下去時, 左手無名指就直接被夾下去. 當下被夾住時腦袋真是一片空白, 心想[馬的, 我手指頭該不會斷掉了吧?] 不過這念頭只有一瞬間而已, 接下來就是席捲而來的劇痛感, 痛到我開始手忙腳亂地要把扇型板扳開. 不過該死的是這扇型板還有個強力彈簧把他鎖住, 讓我怎麼拉怎麼扳都沒辦法把手抽出來. 弄了快兩分鐘, 沒辦法了只有大聲呼叫學弟來救我. 可能平常做人還算成功吧, 廷彰跟信志馬上就衝過來幫我把扇型板扳開. 扳開後檢視一下, 嗯嗯很好, 無名指被夾住的地方整個扁掉, 除了痛以外還是痛, 指甲有一半以上是黑的. 學弟看到後就叫我不要再做了, 我也就閃到旁邊去休息了.


我自己檢視之後, 覺得應該是還好, 不過當天中午午休跟晚上睡覺時, 我痛到根本睡不著, 隔天整隻指甲完全變黑以外, 無名指第一指節也腫的像小叮噹的手一樣, 沒辦法只好跟副排說要出去看醫生. 副排看到後就罵說為什麼不早點講, 就直接帶我出去看手了. 原本擔心這樣痛一整晚會不會是骨頭有裂掉, 到台東醫院照x光後幸好骨頭本身沒什麼事, 不過護士說的話比較有趣. 他一看到我的手就問是什麼時候夾到的, 知道是隔了一天才來就說我還真能忍=_=


看完醫生後, 雖然骨頭沒事, 但左手無名指還是一樣腫大, 還黑裡透白, 感覺像長膿一樣, 每個看到之後都說只有噁心而已, 於是今天就又被叫出來看醫生. 醫生看了一看後, 就說得拔指甲才行. 齁齁, 這可是我這輩子第一次拔指甲, 沒想到初體驗就獻給台東醫院了.


拔指甲時, 醫生叫我躺平, 打完麻醉之後就開始拔了. 我就看著他拿個鉗子, 直接往指甲縫插進去直接撬開指甲, 之後夾著指甲左右搖換外加轉圈圈地把我的指甲轉下來, 看到一片完整帶血的指甲被直接拔出來真是超刺激的=_=


回想這一年, 除了一些被鐵絲刺傷, 夾老虎鉗時夾傷, 出任務時手腕扭傷以外, 我在保養裝備時似乎的確沒什麼出過大事情, 在退伍前八天才發生這樣的事情, 也難怪02看到之後就說老兵的確八字輕.

當兵最大的遺憾

寫這篇文章的時候,我正在聽久石讓的「男人們的大和號」原聲帶。



今天是7/16,離7/20退伍還有四天。

我在blog裡面甚少寫到當兵的文章,原因在於我對於我當兵生涯的感受與回憶,大多是遺憾與不平。

抽軍種籤的時候是我自己去抽的,雖然有耳聞空軍是少爺兵,但事實上我抽中空軍時心中並沒有特別的感受或喜悅。我這個人有點犯賤,大家當兵都想輕輕鬆鬆地過完一年,但我自己卻不這麼認為,從當完兵的大學同學口中聽到當兵時常得做一些很無意義的工作、業務或造假,聽完之後我心中就在想:


「難道我要這樣無意義地過完這一年嗎?」


我希望我的軍旅生涯對我自己來說是有意義的、是充滿回憶的,我並不希望我的時間是浪費在造假業務上,所以我不排斥別人眼中所謂「體能操很大」的部隊。操一操體能,身體反而變得更健康,但我實在想不到作造假的文書業務能夠讓我有什麼成長,所以我總會想著我有沒有可能可以進什麼特戰部隊、空特、憲兵等等單位。在入伍前我常常上PTT的空軍板瞭解未來一年可能會在哪裡度過,以及未來的生活大概如何。在瀏覽文章時,我看到一個讓我眼睛為之一亮的單位「空軍儀隊」。


空軍儀隊入選標準:身高178以上、體態端正、家世清白、無痼疾、無刺青....我身高183,體態雖然不標準但也不算太差,長相....勉勉強強應該算可以,看樣子是符合儀隊的入選標準。看了一看儀隊要做的事情有哪些:每天伏地挺身超過五百下、貼牆N小時、練槍、練踏步、練隊形....充實的四個月儀隊新訓,沒有辦法通過儀隊新訓的人,則會直接被「儀汰」進入防空部。再看看儀隊都在哪裡出沒:民主紀念堂、慈湖、各項軍禮或重大場合等等等....YES,這不就是我想進去的部隊嗎?儀隊可是有「榮譽部隊」的稱號,如果能夠進去儀隊,雖然我會從早操到晚、操到退伍,但能夠透過精湛的槍術得到眾人的喝采,這樣的生活比起做無意義的事情要好太多了吧?所以在研究所畢業等待入伍這段時間,我總是抱著希望進入儀隊。


入伍放完第一次懇親假後就要登記進行校選了,空軍的校選分為七大類,第一大類就是空軍儀隊。空軍儀隊因為操、需求量大、淘汰率高,因此優先其他類別選兵。我知道我被選入儀隊的機率相當高,所以也完全沒去注意其他的選兵類別。校選時,我沒有意外地被儀隊叫了出去,在檢視體態、基本詢問有無刺青或重大疾病後,便被登記進入儀隊。被登記時,雖然旁邊的人都是愁容滿面,但我心中卻是相當興奮。因為我認為
『這個單位雖然操,但是是我自己選擇要進來的』,所以完全沒有任何想要逃避的念頭。


校選登記結束後,我還是繼續著入伍新訓生活,但校選結果一直沒有公布。直到大抽的前一天,校選公布了,我沒能如願進入空軍儀隊。當時我心中真是百般不解、疑惑、甚至到了怨恨的地步。為什麼我想進去別人避之唯恐不及的儀隊,卻不讓我進去?我當時一直想不出為什麼不讓我進去的原因,後來終於讓我想到了...那就是我去過大陸。


新訓剛進去時,心輔士會拿著一塊板子詢問上面的問題,內容多半是有無刺青、酗酒、吸毒、幫派或犯罪紀錄等等。當中最後一項題目是:「你有沒有去過大陸(XX專案)」我研究所一升二的暑假曾到大陸實習兩個月,當時心中覺得說出來應該不會有什麼事情才對,所以就老實地對心輔士說我去過大陸。心輔士還再三跟我確認說旅遊等不算,但我還是老實地說我是去實習的,心輔士就在我的資料上做了一些登記。直到校選結果公布,我回想才知道我這個老實的舉動竟然讓自己沒有辦法進去我當時朝思暮想的儀隊....


也許有人覺得很奇怪,去過大陸就不能進儀隊嗎?儀隊其實是個很特殊的單位,除了體態以外,他還有一個入選標準,那就是「家世清白」。儀隊會跟國家元首有近距離的接觸,以前阿扁當政時,就有儀隊弟兄不滿阿扁,並在blog上寫說阿扁靠近的時候很想拿禮賓槍一刀捅下去。這樣一個特殊的單位,為了保護元首安全摒除掉任何跟敵國有關係的人相當能夠理解。後來聽到班上同學慶麒也是因為去過大陸實習,所以被憲選退貨,而在青年日報工作的亭秀也跟我說軍方單位對大陸背景相當敏感,連他這種軍方媒體的民間雇員也被告知不得前往大陸旅遊....


國樂社的學弟柏建跟我同一天入伍,不過他是陸軍。後來輾轉聽說他因為高中時有學過管樂,所以進入了示範樂隊,其實我聽到這消息時是既羨慕又嫉妒。樂隊跟儀隊常常會一起執行任務,嚴格來說不算輕鬆,但也是充滿榮譽的部隊。在往後當兵的日子,每當電視上出現任何有關儀隊或是樂隊的新聞,都會讓我心頭結歸球,遺憾自己為什麼不能進去。聽「男人們的大和號」原聲帶時這種感覺更加激烈。有人說,當兵是男人一輩子的回憶,我想,不能進儀隊的遺憾應該會伴隨著我一輩子吧?


男人們的大和號

台灣的俗語

台灣俗語是先民對自然變化與人生觀察所保存的生活經驗與智慧結晶,不僅反映了時代的生活智慧、待人處事、人際關係、命運以及台灣人普遍認知的觀念。

在我小的時候,家裡有一本以台語註記的台灣俗語集。家母一句一句用台語教我怎麼念,並且解釋該俗語意義的記憶始終在我的腦海裡,也使我從小開始就對台灣俗語有一定程度的認識以及興趣。

數年前曾經有機會得到一卷由靜宜大學中文系錄製的台灣俗語有聲書,當中收錄了相當多的台灣俗語,並且依照該俗語的使用用途或時機、意義等分門別類。原本我打算把裡面所收錄的台灣俗語一一打到BLOG裡面,但一開始打就發現困難重重。原因無他,雖然我會講台語,但我不會打台語字,用國語打台語俗語總有點無法切合其真正意思。多虧靜宜大學中文系的用心,不僅製作了有聲書,也將這些文字資料重製後放在網路上,對於台灣俗語保存的重要性真非區區數筆可帶過。

靜宜大學台灣民俗文化研究室網址: http://web.pu.edu.tw/~folktw/proverb.html 當中不只有台灣俗語,對於台灣的習俗也多有著墨。

十五種花式鞋帶綁法

這篇文章是在查怎麼綁軍靴鞋板的鞋帶時意外找到的,原來鞋帶的綁法也有這麼多變化。

GUIDE TO LACING

GUIDE TO LACING

One area of sneakerology we’ve somehow managed to avoid is the vital area of laces. Personally, we keep ours loose and we prefer cotton over nylon, other than that, it’s straight vanilla round here – no crazy lattice switchups or duo-colour checkerboards. Recently however, we were introduced to ian fieggen (aka Professor Shoelace) and were humbled by his academic knowledge of this black art. The p-rof has created, without doubt, the best shoelace website in the universe http://www.shoe-lacing.com/ Here, he laments his latent love of laces and introduces fifteen of his personal favourite ways of rigging rides, including helpful diagrams. Then we learn how to modify your aglets to the correct length and tie his very own ‘ian’ knot, the world’s fastest way of shackling sneaks. Just don’t mention velcro or boondoggles! (not.)

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The laces then go straight up and are fed into the next set of eyelets up the shoe 3. The ends are crossed over and are fed under the vertical lace section on the opposite sides of the shoe before going straight up and into the next set of eyelets up the shoe 4. At the top set of eyelets, the laces can once again cross over and pass under the straight section as shown. This not only looks consistent with the rest of the lacing but also forms a High Lace Lock, which tightens the lacing even more firmly.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The ends are looped back under the lace where it feeds under the side of the shoe 3. The ends are then crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe 4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace runs straight across the second set of eyelets from the top of the shoe 2. Cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets, skipping the third set 3. Continue down the shoe, two sets of eyelets at a time 4. At the bottom, run the laces vertically between the bottom and second from bottom eyelets 5. Double back and work your way back up the shoe through the vacant sets of eyelets.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The left (red) end is spiralled up the left side of the shoe, with the end fed under and emerging from each eyelet 3. The right (orange) lace is spiralled up the right side of the shoe, at each eyelet looping through the left (blue) lace in the middle of the shoe before feeding under and emerging from the next eyelet.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, is fed into and runs straight across the second set of eyelets 3. Both ends now run straight up the left side, each skipping one eyelet before feeding in two eyelets higher up 4. Continue running both ends across the shoe, then straight up two eyelets at a time 5. At the top of the shoe, the laces end up on the same side and the shoelace knot is tied at that point.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and the ends are fed into both bottom eyelets 2. One end of the lace (orange end) runs straight up the right side, emerges from and runs straight across the second set of eyelets 3. The other end (red end) runs diagonally underneath and, skipping the 2nd set of eyelets, emerges from and runs straight across the 3rd set of eyelets 4. Continue running each lace diagonally across and up 2 sets of eyelets until one end (orange in my example) reaches the top right eyelet 5. The other end (red in my example) then runs straight up the left side to emerge from the top left eyelet.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace runs straight across and emerges from the third set of eyelets from the bottom 2. Both ends run straight down and are fed into the second set of eyelets from the bottom 3. Both ends again run straight down and emerge from the bottom set of eyelets 4. Both ends now run straight up along the outside and are fed into the fourth set of eyelets (the first vacant pair) 5. The ends are crossed over each other, then they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe 6. Repeat step (5) until both ends reach the top.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and is fed into rather than emerging from both bottom eyelets 2. The ends are crossed over, then inserted into the next set of eyelets up the shoe 3. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets and end up inside.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. Skipping two sets of eyelets, cross the ends over and feed into the fourth set of eyelets 3. Both ends now run straight down one eyelet and emerge from the third set of eyelets 4. Continue up the shoe, each time crossing over and going up three sets of eyelets, then straight down to emerge from the next set of eyelets below.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run straight across the bottom and emerges through both bottom eyelets 2. The ends are twisted together with one complete twist in the middle of the shoe 3. The ends then continue across to the opposite sides, where they go under and out through the next set of eyelets up the shoe 4. This process is repeated until both ends reach the top eyelets.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets 2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) 3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set of eyelets 4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) 5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets 6. Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace is run diagonally and emerges from the bottom left and the top right eyelets 2. The top (red) end of the lace is zig-zagged from the top set of eyelets down to the middle eyelets in a similar manner to the Shoe Shop Lacing 3. The bottom (orange) end of the lace is similarly zig-zagged from the bottom set of eyelets up to the middle eyelets.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. Start with two pairs of different colour laces, preferably the wide, flat variety (I was lucky to receive two such pairs with my last runners!) 2. With one colour (orange in my example), lace the shoe using either Straight (Fashion) or Straight (Lazy) Lacing 3. With the other colour (red in my example), start at the bottom of the shoe and weave the lace in and out of the other lace until you reach the top 4. Fold around the top lace and head back down, weaving out and in until you reach the bottom 5. Continue across the shoe until you’re out of room or out of lace, whichever comes first 6. Tuck all the loose ends of the laces into the shoe.

GUIDE TO LACING

1. The lace runs straight across the bottom and emerges from both bottom eyelets 2. Cross the ends over and feed into the 4th set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) 3. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 5th set of eyelets 4. Cross the ends over and feed into the 2nd set of eyelets up the shoe (skip past 2 sets of eyelets) 5. Both ends now run straight up and emerge from the 3rd set of eyelets 6. Cross the ends over, feed under and emerge from the top set of eyelets (skip past 2 sets of eyelets).

GUIDE TO LACING

1. Take two different colour laces, each a tiny bit longer than the correct length for the shoes 2. Cut them not quite in half, but offset by two or three centimetres. See below for how to calculate the difference in length between the two halves 3. Tie one shorter piece of one colour (orange in my example) and one longer piece of the other colour (red in my example) firmly together and trim off the excess. For extra security, add a dab of glue. Use the remaining pieces to make the bi-colour lace for the other shoe 4. Pull the longer (red) end out through the bottom right eyelet, feeding from inside the shoe, until you reach the joining knot 5. Now lace the rest of the shoe as per Straight (Fashion) Lacing.
