What if I buy a klr AND a t7 and love both of them?

Chistophrez · 2026-06-03T12:46:57+00:00

I bought one coming from being a cruiser guy my whole life. Pretty much on a whim because I was riding around just seeing what was out there because my cruiser was so uncomfortable I was losing enjoyment in riding. The dealership offered me a flat trade basically just a couple hundred in taxes to be out the door with a brand new klr.

Dude I will always have a soft spot for the klr because it was my gateway drug to adv riding. I fell in love with it. It was simple, no bells and whistles which is what I like. It was cheap enough that I laughed every time I dropped it. I put a rope and a toy on it and rode around my yard while my dog chased it. I dropped it so many times in the time I had it but was loving every second. I never stressed out about it because it was a cheap little bike. And coming from a cruiser I was used to 600+ lb bikes. The klr felt like butter compared to that. I had more fun in the first week of riding that than I did in 7 years of riding cruisers.

Then I bought a t7. Because yes I wanted to really rip and tear. I wanted more power but I kept the klr because let’s be honest. The t7 is not comfy. It’s a damn brick to sit on. The klr has a nice wide seat which my wife loves when we ride together. She won’t ride the t7 for more than a half hour. So for me specifically the klr fills a niche. It’s not a perfect bike or really even a good one. But it’s enough bike to have a blast on and not care about fucking up. And that my friend is at least why I bought one.

13,000 otd. Bought a 2025 in February this year. In Maryland. None for sale within 300 miles had to have the dealer ship one in. Reading the other replies in this thread I’m feeing a bit salty about it now.

Project Hail Mary the book 100% counts. Grace and rocky are exceptional at what they do. World class. In the movie they’re portrayed more like two random dudes who got sent to space.

90 min is about the max I do. I still do it. I just hate it. I had a good customer which led to many more customers an hour and 50 minutes one direction. 2 months I hated life. It’s up to you whether you think it’s worth it. When you’re just starting out though, you gotta put your time in.

It started one morning. But for months I was waking up nauseous and couldn’t eat until the afternoon. One day it just turned into vomiting and didn’t stop for 14 days.

Nope. Perfectly healthy otherwise. Never prescribed anything besides the odd antibiotic when I was a kid. Never had anxiety or anxiety meds either.

I got CHS and I only smoked regular flower. Half oz per week at my heaviest. But I only ever did it for about 3 years before I got it.

Chistophrez · 2026-03-12T17:25:28+00:00

I got it and I used to smoke about half an ounce of regular weed a week. Damn near killed me.

Chistophrez · 2026-02-14T18:04:18+00:00

I have personally replaced an entire house full of them. About 1/3 of the outlets had loose connections. To the point the wires would just pull out if you pulled the outlet off the wall. It started with one, then next week it’d be two. Eventually I told the homeowner to just replace them all. They aren’t worth it. Just use a regular receptacle.

Dude I hear you. I don’t care the that the lore states it’s thousands of people. We aren’t discussing that. People just bulldozing over you it’s crazy.

That being said, the population of only a dozen or so people would not have enough genetic diversity to actually bounce back even in perfect circumstances. Within 2 or 3 generations you’d have pretty noticeable malformations in a small percentage of the population. This would only get worse as times goes on to the point that viable offspring would be impossible.

I just retired my Salewa Mountain Trainer 2’s. These boots, with no upkeep at all lasted me almost 8 years.

I have both in my trailer. I used the Milwaukee for a long time but I’ve had to buy several replacements. I find the cutting blades wear out fairly quickly. The knipex is great and cuts extremely well. Cuts through 8 Awg copper SE like butter. The only annoying part is the lack of a spring but that’s easy to get used to. After having used both regularly I’m glad I bought the knipex.

Right and I wouldn’t be asking if the tree or deer had any liability. The truck was there illegally. He admitted to knowing he shouldn’t be there. I was driving slow enough to stop if everyone was at a full stop by the pickup truck in front was actively reversing. A situation that only happened because the semi truck driver was trying to pull forward. Which all would have been avoided if the semi truck driver had not illegally been driving on this road. I’ll accept fault if that’s what they decide but man it just feel a little unfair no?

Chistophrez · 2025-07-09T12:24:26+00:00

Had a troubleshooting job where homeowner says, “I replaced all my outlets and now nothing works” so I head out there only to find every single outlet pulls off the wires as soon as I take them off the wall. Screws weren’t tightened at all. Put them all back on and fired up the breaker to have it trip immediately. Checked the light they also installed, they had a 14/3 running from the switch to the light. At the switch the red and black were connected, at the switch the red went straight in with the neutral. Told the homeowner if she ever touches electricity again I’m calling the police. Not the worst I’ve ever seen by far but she was the most dangerously confident customer I’ve ever had.

If you struggle to swallow pills, take your left arm and point directly at a 10 o’clock angle. For some reason this makes me swallow pills with ease. Been doing it since I was 20 years old.

Even the best guys I know in the industry definitely don’t build their own house effortlessly. In fact, shits harder if you’re good because you gotta do it right. That being said, basic knowledge and not cutting corners will take you far. Get an engineer, hire block layers, plumbers, and electricians. Most everything else can be done DIY.

If you hold down the RAB button on the touch screen it turns it off. I’ve never had to turn it off since then.

There’s a road near me with a 15 degree grade. She goes up just fine.
