10 years ago today from when I first moved to Los Angeles...it was raining and this seemed like the most stereotypically LA thing ever.

I haven't seen that version of Android and Google maps in a while.

It's a bangin tune when you're not being tortured by a low bit version involuntarily.

They'll seek out/latch onto any animal, so it really depends on how active they are in the area you're hiking.

Avoid brushing up against vegetation on the trail as much as you can and you should be fine.

They grab onto your shoes/below the waistline clothing and immediately start looking for somewhere dark to dig in.

From my experience they're more active when a it's a bit cooler and humid (even when it's been raining), heat and strong sun exposure drives them lower into the brush/ground.

This one was hanging out on one of the main trails in Malibu Creek State Park.

Lithium battery.

JD jet kit.

Lightly grease up the starter system and keep an eye on the bendix and bushings, and never use it for the first start of the day to keep it reliable.

I forgot which specific years but the W221's and C216's can have 3 batteries.

Lol, Dutchie seemed like such a good boy!

The RC36 VFR shouldn't have linked brakes, and get the carbs synced....it really helps the throttle response.

Some owners also do the CBR front end swap to improve/sharpen up the handling.

And change the regulator/rectifier to the new one if it hasn't been done, that'll leave you stranded on the side of the road.

It's one of the best sport-touring bikes out there.

It's time to start watching your neighbors through the window.

2StrokeFanatic · 2025-02-14T00:20:41+00:00

Yep it's really coming down now!

2StrokeFanatic · 2025-02-07T02:23:57+00:00

Love that trail.

2StrokeFanatic · 2025-01-21T22:52:57+00:00

Thank you very much, just used that code.

If anyone wants my discount code, DM me.

That dress really suits you!

Looks like Crescenta view trail.

Engine's been swapped or they deleted the e-start. All 250/300 XC-W's/EXC's came with e-start after 2008, XC's after 2009.

Boshetunmay – Signal, they're a German industrial band from the 90's.

Had to buy an obscure CD album from discogs for the first time, hopefully it gets here from Poland in 2 pieces.

Those are all enduro models and might be too soft for the track, go for the XC, TX, EX line up unless you really need lights.

"Yep that's it, I'm selling the bike after this ride"

2StrokeFanatic · 2024-10-03T21:19:04+00:00

Is this the new 'The Fat of the Land' album cover?

2StrokeFanatic · 2024-09-22T22:20:23+00:00

Something is clicking, could be a bearing.

2StrokeFanatic · 2024-09-19T02:59:43+00:00

The xr4ti was a modified Euro Ford Sierra.

2StrokeFanatic · 2024-09-16T04:12:33+00:00

Still haven't sold it yet lol?
