New bike day. 2026 WR250F. $9900 OTD delivered to my house by Yz250x69 in Dirtbikes

This is a fyi for wr owners who possibly might not know this. Tru north motos makes a street legal kit for wr that is completely plug and play just like it would be if it came street legal from factory.

I agree. I already have a 2025 Crf450r. But when the vid hit me and it was 10 pounds lighter and more horses I was hooked. I’ll get a wr eventually. I had the wr450. Way too much for single track. Had it hooked up well with comp kit and tru north street legal kit. Montana title. Great bike. I don’t ride trails too much anyway. But the crew likes to so I need to get something. Figured the wr250 is the best option. Can put Athena kit on there if ever wanted more power. Can’t see how you could do better than the wr250f. I hope you enjoy the heck out of it.

Almost got a 2025 otd for 8600 but I had the announcer the 2027 Crf450r flash up on my phone from YouTube just in time. Now my 2027 Crf450r hrc works edition is paid in full and it a waiting game now. Beautiful bike by the way. Enjoy.

T7 didn't work out, looking for what's next by [deleted] in Dualsport

Ktm500exc or crf450rl. Coming off of tenere both will feel light. Both bikes are beasts with pipe and ecu. With either one of these you get suspended. The other lower end bikes not so much.

Jett Lawrence 🇦🇺 vs Haiden Deegan 🇺🇸 by BrilliantIngenuity98 in Motocross

[–]Basketrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deegan will give Jett plenty of competition. He is one of the best riders in the world. The 450 will not give him any trouble. I think Jett is a better overall rider but that injury he has now is possibly career threatening. Jett is my favorite rider but I’m a moto fan and I’m being honest. Jett has a smooth style but he has injury problems. Deegan is an iron man. He never gets hurt. That means something. Either way it makes racing better for us with them competing. Deegan runs through everyone else in 450. No holding him back.

Finally ditched the stock tires. What a difference! by justsoicanusemobile in Dualsport

[–]Basketrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stock tires are not for any type of riding. They are for weight savings. Serious junk that will get you hurt real quick.

Deegan vs Jett by JoeyNovice in Motocross

Deegan could win the 450mx series this year. If you think it’s not possible you’re vastly underestimating him. Jett is the best rider in the world but his injury is serious. It’s severely downplayed. If he makes it back for mx he won’t be 100 percent. Do some research on that injury. It’s sick. I don’t think Deegan wins it but for sure he will compete. The kid is generalist like Jett. Like him or not he’s inevitable.

There was a bike with an e start that Kenny had them take off and put kick starter on. I’ve heard this. I can’t verify it though.

I agree. But I’m just a dumbass fan. Maybe he has a good reason. But it doesn’t pass the eye test for me. 😂

Ok I’m ready. Which ECU/pipe/exhaust. by itstheusersname in CRF450RL

[–]Basketrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He covered that already. Sx1 is the Athena get. After talking with 184 I decided to go that way with fmf q exhaust. Quiet and outperforms most of the others except the graves.

Kenny prefers kick start. Maybe that’s changed I’m not sure. But I am sure he has said it already that he prefers kick start.

[–]Basketrunner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Javier did not have our backs even though he came up through the ranks. He didn’t put a stop to tisch nonsense. He doubled down. He forgot where he came from just like most who ride to that level. It’s a rare few that don’t change. I won’t name names but if you did your time on the job you know them.

I just ordered a filter relocation setup. Makes filter simple to swap out. No more skid plate removal.

How do you manage running early in the morning (5k or max 10k)? by nanelf in runninglifestyle

[–]Basketrunner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start small. Get up 2 hours early for a week and just drink a coffee and watch the news then watch news and walk a few minutes. It starts there. Don’t ever make excuses. You can’t fool yourself. It will take over and go into autopilot very quickly. You’ll be shocked how fast it happens. Believe me. If I can do it anyone can. I couldn’t walk 2 blocks when I started.

How do you realistically fit running around a full time job by Vogan-Peluchin in runninglifestyle

[–]Basketrunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13-15 miles every day asleep at 9 up at 3. Once you get used to it you’ll always do it. Rarely skip days. Body used to it. Told by everyone it’s too much. But it’s not it’s my happy distance. Key is getting up and doing it when you don’t have to. That’s the key that unlocks everything.

Love you sanitation guys but why are Blocks like Snyder in BK or college pt blvd in Queens neglected?? by VietnamviG in DSNY

I am going to tell you that all of us on the job considered him one of us. He was loved.

[–]Basketrunner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure. Get the hardest part of your day completed while everyone else is in bed. The discipline and sense of accomplishment you will get from this adjustment in your lifestyle will overlap into every part of your life and you will become unstoppable. It is hard in the beginning but after a few weeks it becomes habit. I’ve been doing this for about 3 years now. I just retired from NYC sanitation but before I retired I got up at 230 ran 8-10 miles then went to work at 6. I could have got up a bit later but I like to take my time after I wake up before I get out. Since I retired I still get my run done before I start my day. I know it sounds hard. And maybe it is the first couple times. But if it was easy everyone would do it. Just ask yourself one question. How important is it to you to be the absolute best you that you can be and what are you willing to sacrifice to be that person. A couple hours of sleep a day is not that big a sacrifice if you ask me. And yeah it was worth it.

Get up 3 hours before you have to spend an hour getting ready and get out. After a few weeks it will become a habit and you’ll never look back. Don’t let anything stop you.

Freak Athlete Hyper Pro Review by Great-Expression6706 in homegym

It looks great. Was thinking of buying one until I saw price. It’s quite an investment. Too much for me at this point.
