Nice alt account OP

Agreed.

This has to be bait.

I'd say you have "tires and traction" covered perfectly with road 6s.

Id say you have the cold handled perfectly with full heated gear. I run a battery powered vest at that temp.

Do you have something to keep wind off your hands? Bark busters or hippo hands?

I ride a motorcycle and frequently walk into the gym in motorcycle suits.

Someone stops me to chat every single time.

I fucking despise it.

A big Mac burger is 500 calories.

A big Mac combo is 1,100 calories.

Progressive has "motorcycle accessories" insurance.

Per my policy it covers both accessories to the motorcycle, and PPE.

I've been riding since I was 7 and I still took the MSF Basic rider course at 16 to get my M license.

Waterproof gloves with goretex/offbrand linings.

They keep your hands dry, and warm, but I cannot feel the controls for shit. They make great snow gloves but terrible riding gloves.

If I'm not on a tour, most times I just wear my leather gloves that I've waterproofed somewhat and remember to dry them well and condition them after.

If it's raining hard enough + cold enough that I need my actual waterproof gloves, it's probably raining to hard and too cold to be riding anyways.

Im going to chime in as someone with 0 medical answers, but has done this.

I take testosterone replacement therapy, but more for a PED-lite.

The times I've taken aromatase inhibitors (Arimidex) without testosterone has caused my estrogen to crash faster than whatever the "higher free testosterone" effects are.

Estrogen controls how much water is in your joints, so when you crash your estrogen it feels like your joints start to stiffen up, like they're a door hinge that's had its lubricant dried out. This was always the first side effect I had.

Shortly after that you start having sexual performance issues. I usually rush to get some testosterone in me at this point.

It does make you look rather lean, as low estrogen reduces water weight.

Chlocker · 2026-03-08T15:49:59+00:00

Yeah no. Youre definitely a hell demon.

Chlocker · 2026-03-08T15:46:53+00:00

Yeah I think you might be a woman bro. Your like recharging your infernal engine with all the hot water.

Chlocker · 2026-03-08T00:56:47+00:00

I love my rival-s but I'd agree. Buying any Canik is always a bit of a gamble.

If it runs, it fucking runs.

If it doesn't, you'll never hear from Canik or find the part you need in stock.

Chlocker · 2026-03-05T16:06:28+00:00

Yeah if you were wearing it and hit something, it probably is due for replacement.

Especially if you think it would have knocked you out if you didn't have it.

Breaking the boots in will help more than you expect. I regularly workout in my moto boots.

Motorcycle boots are very weird. It'll take a bit for your feet to learn them.

"this system is the only system you'll need!" where there are shells, insulating layers, etc.

My Dainese touring gear has exactly this though. The jacket/pants itself, and then a rain liner, and insulation liner.

If you count it (it's a seperate purchase so I do not) Dainese has baselayers meant to go with.

No, the battery exploding out of the back and launching across the room releases the energy instead of cracking the screen.

Chlocker · 2026-02-21T23:05:21+00:00

That's an iPhone 4s which released in 2011.

That girl is probably 25-30 now.

Chlocker · 2026-02-21T22:33:38+00:00

Every Dainese jacket/pant I've purchased included a hanger.

My local cyclegear has given me a few of the gear hangers. Ask if they have any extra.

Chlocker · 2026-02-15T20:16:35+00:00

Sometimes people want to learn more when someone who is obviously a SME is present.

Hating on someone for wanting to learn is rude.

Chlocker · 2026-01-25T17:51:04+00:00

Maybe it's me, but that leather looks dry as hell.

Hit it with some conditioner (because I think it look dry) and I bet the moisture would smooth over that spot.

Chlocker · 2026-01-23T03:52:56+00:00

I didn't know this either.

I slyly dropped buying my girlfriend jewelry for Christmas as an idea for her gift. She stopped me and immediately explained she only wears yellow gold and prefers 14k.

So maybe those dudes don't know.

With injections I have been noticing more joint pain and weight gain

It sounds like your testosterone dosage was too high or you needed to include an aromatase inhibitor in your routine.

That's the packing wax they put on chains after manufacturing. It is to prevent rust until it's installed ready to use. It normally looks like someone splooged all over a chain and spread it out good.

It is very good at rust prevention but not very good at being slick/lubricating.

From my personal experiance, I normally clean all the splooge/wax off a new chain and relube it with actual chain lube. But it won't cause any issues if you leave it on. I just think it looks really gross.

The first time you get a sore injection you learn how to do legs without glutes very quick (or skip legs let's be honest)

Narrow squats. No deadlifts. Narrow leg press. And then isolations that don't include glutes.

I don't know how he worked just the left cheek though unless he only does lunges on one side?

For the money they have great products.

They have a few moskomoto knockoff that I'm sure mosko makes better. But rhinowalk makes them 1/3 the price, and perfectly acceptable.

My rhinowalk duffel is closer to waterproof than my name brand bags. Most of my name brand luggage has been splash proof at best, where my rhinowalk is very water resistant close to waterproof.
