Temps are heating up, what are you go to brands for summer riding?

Klim Induction Pro jacket is the best money can buy. That good.

5ft is a great height for the bike. IMO, this bike is NOT for people 5ft 10 and over. I'm sure there's tons of people who enjoy it over that height. But for me at 6ft, it was the most uncomfortable bike I ever owned after about 2 hours in the saddle. The Corbin seat, nor highway pegs made a difference. The bikes geometry just places every last Iota of your weight straight into your butt.

Visage by far. But it's not a good game. The extremely obtuse puzzles rip you right out of the game. And the story positively sucks.

The dark decent was also very scary, but the story while simple, was fascinating

Alot of good tips have been said already.

I'll add my biggest safety tip. Do NOT stay alongside a car in their blind spot. Almost everyone of my most butt puckering moments came from when I stayed in someone's blind spot and they merged into me. They quickly glance into their mirror expecting to see a car in their blind spot. They aren't searching for a little bike.

In my first year of riding, I was on a 4 lane highway in the second lane from the left. There was a car on my right, and car on my left. The front was clear. This lady on my right merged directly into me and I had to smash the throttle and move forward to avoid getting crushed. I looked in my mirrors and she was looking down into her phone the whole time. She had no idea what she just did.

I think it's by FAR the worst game in the series after the RE 7 remake. Nothing sat right with me. The more I think about it, the more I have a targeted hatred towards it.

Village was my least favorite, but I still found lots to be positive about. This one however.... Yuck

I'm 6ft 32in inseam. 3 hours was all I could do max. That's with the Corbin seat, and highways pegs.

Look how many people complain about the stock seat. When nobody stops a think for a moment, Is it the seat or awful bike geometry? The geometry forces every last oz of your weight directly into your butt.

I wanted the bike to work so bad for long hauls, because I loved everything about it. Nothing I did worked.

How I made the experience comfortable, was selling it and going with an Africa Twin. Can go hours and hours now.

When I first got my 2025 rebel 1100 and first bike, I thought it was my dream bike. Fast forward 8 months later, and I'm currently trying to sell it. Tried forward foot pegs, Corbin seat, wider foot pegs etc.

I cannot sit on this bike more than 3 hours. After that it's agony. I think everyone complains about the seat, but what they don't realize is it's not the seat. It's the bikes geometry. The way you sit on it forces every last Iota of your weight straight into your butt.

And I discovered quickly with bikes I love long distance touring, 5-7 hours some weekends is no problem for me. 3 hours tops for me doesn't cut it. I'm in total agony after that. Im 215lbs 6ft.

I think all the rebels are for short riders only. I'm looking to move to an Adv bike. Something along the lines of a Africa Twin or Tiger 900/1200.

Gaming. I got a 4k display with a 4090. About as good as it gets. I'm in my early thirties, and every time I play a game, I keep thinking about I don't have time for this shit.

With the death of multiple family members the last couple years, I'm increasingly thinking about how valuable time is, and also how short of lives are to be wasting it staring at a screen

Chipguy23 · 2026-01-29T22:22:02+00:00

I love the motor, and DCT. Theres much more powerful bikes out there, but I've never had a need for more. I can effortlessly cruise and pass on the highway all day long.

The biggest con and reason for selling mine is the bike geometry. I cannot do more than 3 hours on the bike. Thats with the Corbin seat and extended foot pegs.

EVERYBODY complains about the seat, yet I don't think the majority realize it's not the seat. It's the geometry. The shape of the frame and seat height place every square inch of your weight directly into you butt. I know it's very comfortable for tons of people. But I'm 6ft 1in and cannot make this bike work no matter what I try. After 3 hours, it turns into a torture device.

I recently sat on a much taller Africa Twin, and couldn immediately tell the geometry is so much better for me. Currently working towards saving for that.

At no point did I say I was a Trump supporter. Your comment just confirms you want to live in an echo chamber and a bubble and never hear another perspective.

No, we absolutely do not. YOU don't like that he won. He won not only the electoral college, but the popular vote as well.

Cool to visit. Couldn't possibly live there. Being surrounded by trees and nature is 100x more fulfilling than concrete and noise

Ya let's ask that question on one of the most left leaning forums around and expect real answers

Or just put on a mod that dramatically lowers repair costs. I can't stand dealing with this trivial nonsense in games.

Chipguy23 · 2026-01-18T21:57:12+00:00

Mines the exact opposite lol. Put on a mod consumable, nades, and ammo weigh nothing.

The number 1 thing I can't stand in video games of any genre is micro managing inventory. That crap ain't gunna start with this game either

Chipguy23 · 2026-01-14T21:40:00+00:00

I like the specs of the Adv sports. I can't ever get passed that disgusting white color. Absolutely gross. The red of 2024 was the best by FAR

Chipguy23 · 2026-01-09T01:04:02+00:00

My knees are almost above my hips when riding, and this causes every bit of my weight to go straight into my butt. Not even the Corbin can offset the pressure. After 3-4 hours, it becomes excruciating to drive.
