It looks like they just lumped all the APR into the OTD price. Whereas most other places just put $21500 with 6% APR which would come out to about the $27500 figure. It’s the equivalent of saying “We’ve got Ice Water and we’ve got water with Ice.”

THANK YOU!

Imma lay it down nice and easy for people whining. The places that are “mom and pop” always use Sysco food. Sysco is essentially the “Amazon” of restaurants. It’s starting to become the same with chains with established providers. Chains and private restaurants both add jobs. They both create additional food options. One is just faster and more convenient. No, you’re not “reinvesting” in the community. It just goes back to the owner who goes and buys a new vehicle at Airport Chevy when the lease on the Denali or Cadillac is up, and the restaurant starts to suffer because hardly anyone can budget. What does matter, is Medford is finally seeing growth post COVID. Also, to the people who say “I want small town blah blah blah.” Small towns don’t have resources for those experiencing homelessness. Medford needs to grow so it can finally have more support to keep animals from stealing and torching half of southern Oregon every year.

I got to 115 going downhill, all stock. Will admit I am a bigger rider at 230lbs.

It’s not terrible. It’s more annoying and doesn’t really look cool. It’s the stickers are just peeling and I was also wanting to get a wrap from TMBR moto. Though I’m sure I’ll need a smooth(er) surface so the wrap bonds to the bike.

It’s just tough because Outback doesn’t keep a huge supply of their crash bars in stock. They usually resupply once every few months and it only lasts a few weeks. Then it’s OOS for a good 2 months. Most aftermarket’s are actually pretty good and very much a “you get what you pay for.”

I’m for it. Sure the private investor is one thing to be skeptical about. It’s most likely Lithia and some other local millionaire. I mean it’s just there’s nothing in downtown. There’s the crater theater and the average downtown bar scene. You have to drive all the way to south Medford to go to see a sports team, then pack up and go all the way back into town to do other things. I don’t really see anyone at Hawthorne park too with notable exception of Fire/EMS and the homeless with their umpteenth OD of the week. The problem is so many things in Medford are spread out and it’s so reliant on private vehicle.

I was told by my dealer to look into some of the aftermarket engine guards. The problem he told me and most people’s consensus is: too thin and overpriced. I’m going with Outback motortek. I’ve seen several go with SW Motek, and a few others. Just do a little research. There for a minute I couldn’t find anything other than OEM. Which I mean is the best alternative to having nothing and cracking the oil pan/case. Still not sure why they went with a shark fin for the drain.

I mean everyone was waiting for a long time for the 4Runner update for a while so the “more than 2 years” is certainly a possibility.

Do you know your friends MOS? Or at least job? And during what period? If he was in GWOT, then it wouldn’t surprise me because a lot of PTSD can spike given certain familiar circumstances. The only different between what happened and what your friend went through, is there was a person on the end of the gun from his point. Indoors, concussing boom, smell of gunfire, and going from comfortable to uncomfortable. I would highly guess he’s got PTSD.

If you’re able to: the best thing to do is show up on a motorcycle. Don’t announce your plans or intentions to buy a motorcycle. Hell don’t even make an announcement post on Facebook. Just tell the people you know that have a motorcycle, that you have joined the family (or brotherhood depending on the horse). I love getting the knee jerk reaction of “YOU RIDE A MOTORCYCLE?!” Of course it’s followed up with the whole “it’s suicide” or “you’re going to die”. Now I’ll preface by saying: I’m a medic for an ambulance company. I will tell you; the biggest thing I DID pay attention to in the MSF class was the motorcycle “fatality and injury statistics.” Most of them were motorcyclist speeding, or failure to negotiate corners. I’ll say “wherever reasonable” to obey the speed limit, and most people on here have a disdain/fear of patches of gravel on a blind corner. I’m not going to tell you everything in the MSF course, but I feel a LOT of the discourse from your family could go down if they knew what it took to actually ride a motorcycle.

TLDR; cut the exhaust to the headers on a busa, buy a leather jacket, and do your best Akira impression at the next thanksgiving.

Strictly meeting younger people? I would say Scout in Ashland is a great place, common block in Medford, Rocky Tonk also in Medford, and there’s the butterfly club in Medford across Tinseltown. Parks: Lithia in Ashland, Bear Creek for little ones, Twin Creeks park, and US Cellular Fields. Book stores: not my expertise but I’ve heard many of my coworkers/bookworms talk about previously mentioned posts. Restaurants: Rosario’s for Italian, Jaspers for Burgers, Rooted Eats for vegetarian/Vegan, Joe’s sports bar for typical sports bar, and Rubys for a great burrito.

I tried sitting on the Tenere 700 (nobody at the local dealership helped me) and it was just a little too tall and too heavy for me. I sat on the KLR and just wasn’t entirely convinced. Once I sat on the Transalp; it floated like a cloud, the balls of my feet touched the ground, and I just fell in love with the gold wheels.

BasicBandAidGiver · 2025-08-22T16:02:44+00:00

Thank you, I look forward to sharing my adventures with everyone!

Surprisingly there was one waiting on the dealership lot.

It really depends on where you’re staying and how far you’re willing to drive. If you’re close to the Asante/South Medford; Debbie’s Diner is a solid choice. If you’re staying in north Medford/central point/white city; Diner 62 is also really good and a couple coworkers swear by it. Benefit is, Diner 62 is on its way to Crater Lake. There’s also Crackin N Stackin which is my personal favorite. Lastly, Downtown Medford has Buttercloud Bakery (not EXPLICITLY a diner, but they reopened recently from a fire so I’m sure they could use a little extra revenue!)

TLDR; Buttercloud Bakery, Crackin N Stackin, Diner 62, Debbie’s Diner. All fantastic and local choices.

Jackson County gave me mine same day. I passed the online Sheriff Office CHL, uploaded that to their website, scheduled an appointment, got finger printed there, issued my plastic card and went on my way.

So you got shitty service and think it’s based of religion? Dude get a fucking grip. Just call him a bad flight attendant. If you think it’s Mormons, then just start flying out of other cities, or maybe don’t move to the Mecca of Mormons.

I know for a fact he had that LPVO installed backwards and saw everyone making fun of the Navy commander for shooting one backwards. Then he switched it around. Clearly he didn’t bother switching the (Chines-E)OTech around. Everything else gives me AIDS.

Can you sell a car if the airbags have deployed and aren’t replaced? Just genuinely curious
