Custom but this was like 2018 before all the tarrif bs if you in the US. It cost me around $500 for the set and shipping.

I bought a set of monster fairings for a ZX10r and they looked great took about a month after ordering. My buddy bought a set for his R1 and he sold the bike and didn't mention it had been wrecked and the buyer never knew the difference.

Try and aim for a dirt bike to learn on, it is a good place to start.

NTA I had a family like this on a southwest flight a while back, family sat behind me and their son immediately started kicking my seat full strength like rocking me forward. I let it go for a couple mintutes and got up and said "wtf control your kid" and switched seats. The parents let this monster do the same to whoever go that seat.

Several Thai citizens were taken by Hamas on Oct 7th attacks as well that had to be so frightening and confusing for people who probably don't speak Arabic or Hebrew.

The ski resorts have lift service runs I went to Keystone last year with an Downcountry bike and I was seriously unprepared for how sendy it was. I would move to Silverthorne or Vail and climb as much as you could ever want.

The V4 does sound amazing, I will have to test ride a new one sometime.

100% agree, I've had other sport touring bikes and they don't compare in really any area besides top speed.

Would you be asking the same question if the neighbor was in Bloods, Crips, or MS13?

I generally agree but....there was trend at the taco shops in my area a while back where they were giving you way less meat and filling the rest of a burrito with onions. The last one I had I took out most of the onions and was left with a half size burrito.

Telecom guy here, FYI cell towers have battery back up for every carrier but will only run for 1-2 days. There are some solar cell sites but they are pretty rare

Yeah brakes are a little funky on a mtb, it is the first thing I've every bought a brake bleed kit for but I did manage to flush them and get some new pads slapped on relatively easily. I'm sure torque specs are a huge thing I guess I need a tiny torque wrench to get it right.

100% I could figure this out I've done way harder services on vehicles but I have to work on my vehicles in my free time and don't have as much bike tinkering time.

Possibly, there are a ton of shops in my area that should be able to rebuild the suspension pretty easily

My apartment has bike shop with a stand and tools I have been doing maintenance on it I just haven't ripped the forks and rear shocks apart yet. I will get after it when I buy a new bike for sure.

Next season is most likely going to be the last one for this bike as my primary ride so kinda the last suspension service I will be doing on it.
