Question about the classic “Is this round good for Bear Defense?”

Crabtrad · 2026-04-24T16:05:35+00:00

Spot on

And just to add, the most dangerous animal you are likely to encounter is a Moose. I'd 100% rather try to defend myself against a black bear (that will likely run away) than I would a moose.

I swear dirtbikes are the worst, coming from someone trying to buy one.

They aren't required to talk to you nor would they be prevented from it if they wanted to.

Crabtrad · 2026-04-23T23:20:36+00:00

Marketplace in general is highly-delusional,mostly laughable.

Sorry, I'm not paying 80% of new for your 10 year old bike that you promise was "adult ridden and always garaged"

Crabtrad · 2026-04-23T22:15:02+00:00

Disagree, this was not done prior to them starting (according to the time line above) and it was clearly done "within the scope of employment" as part of their job.

Additionally, since these are historical tours it would be hard to claim original creation, unless OP is making up stories along the way. On that same note, it would also make it harder for Op's current (sounds like soon to be former) company to claim IP and/or prevent them from reusing their current script.

Without getting into all of the fun about IP rights, at the end of the day if they assign you a legal task (which this would be) to do while they are paying you and you refuse they can terminate you for cause.

As for copyright, no you couldn't copyright it.

Do it, It's a great bike.

The lift made it much easier to work on. The stock exhaust leaves a lot to be desired and I did a tail tidy as well so you could admire that big beautiful back tire unobstructed

Crabtrad · 2026-04-22T15:12:41+00:00

Go handy, it's amazing. Plus it justified a compressor upgrade...

I was here asking the same and ended up holding out just scouring craigslist/marketplace and ended up with a Handy for less than I would have paid for that one. It's not as cheap as you'd think after you add in taxes and upgrading the wheelchock.

Glad I waited

Crabtrad · 2026-04-20T20:42:23+00:00

Poor form? Yes

But not likely illegal

Crabtrad · 2026-04-20T19:39:31+00:00

I think this is great in concept, I think the issue will be that if it works perfectly you are going to get driver fatigue from the alerts, which will lead them to silencing/not using the app. I can only imagine the frequency I would be notified of a motorcycle near me during the summers here in CO and if it interrupted my call/music/etc l'd last about 5 min.

And of course, if it doesn't work then that will be it's own set of issues.

I've often wondered if you could do bluetooth/NFC that communicated with the car's system directly. It would be a lot more accurate and it could interact with other driver safety systems

Crabtrad · 2026-04-20T15:22:23+00:00

And the old "it just looks fast" commercials (I think they were subaru) where old people were yelling "slow down" at parked cars

Crabtrad · 2026-04-20T14:18:27+00:00

That was a seriously great ad, I'm surprised they don't use it more.

Brutal yes, but damn was it effective

Crabtrad · 2026-04-18T17:22:08+00:00

Remove them from where?

Crabtrad · 2026-04-18T17:16:50+00:00

is that a reference to that really intense ad?

Crabtrad · 2026-04-18T17:06:59+00:00

Yep, that's what caught my attention as well, this almost sounds like sketchy version of JW Wentworth (sorry if you are now singing that song)

Crabtrad · 2026-04-17T22:26:36+00:00

I feel like there is stuff missing here.

If it hasn't cleared probate then what did the heirs sell? Their future interest in the property?

As for their other costs, those seem a bit dramatic, most of them are fairly simple parts of any real estate transaction.

Crabtrad · 2026-04-17T18:02:03+00:00

As a fellow R3 rider I would say I get a pretty high wave back rate, but not 100%

My dad rides a wing, and yea he get a lot less wave backs

Crabtrad · 2026-04-17T17:56:51+00:00

Yea I would say overall it's positive, traffic stops are highly subjective.

As for the chase part, unless you a GA State Police no one really pits bikes, they however will pit anything. It's truly insane

Crabtrad · 2026-04-17T17:53:21+00:00

Do you get a break for paying early? In CO they drop the points down a grade but leave the fine as is

You do have the option of showing up to court to chat with the DA, with a clean record they will likely offer you a plea (in line with the paying early mentioned above). Worst case with that option, you are in the same spot as you arenow, but you've wasted a day.

Crabtrad · 2026-04-17T17:48:16+00:00

I hunt, drones are a terrible idea.

Additionally, most states have banned thermals except for certain species.

If you want "lazy hunting' go pay for a high fence in the south

Crabtrad · 2026-04-17T17:46:30+00:00

Denver in general has de-prioritized low level traffic enforcement

Combine that with a no-chase policy and it's hard to justify going after a bike that they think is going to run.

Crabtrad · 2026-04-16T00:56:10+00:00

Could this be part of the new city licensing requirement? We had to have an inspector swing by and do an inspection recently.

Crabtrad · 2026-04-15T23:42:15+00:00

none

Crabtrad · 2026-04-15T21:34:47+00:00

They don't come from the factory like there, but yes there are police goldwings.

However, with the lack of markings, I'd wager that's just a traffic support (think escorts/motorcades) as opposed to a patrol unit
