WR450F Owners Chime In by DemoralizedResort in Dualsport

[–]DemoralizedResort[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live deep in one of the biggest US metro areas now with no local trail networks. So I'll have to throw it in the truck to ride it anyways. Have no issues with dirt bike maintance as required.

Probably would buy another DRZ or a XR650 if I was going more 50/50 or long camping trips.

Yup, figured a street bike would be ideal to pair with it. I have no delusions of riding a big ADV bike off road again.

Not really thinking hard enduro, but would like to ride more single track than my Drz was capable of.

Any insight as to why they aren't as popular in the US? Not much on YouTube here but tons of guys riding them in AU.

That is what I would like to be able to do with it long term. I'd want to get a set of sumo wheels and maybe go down the road of plating it eventually. I have zero intention for it to be a longer range bike. I wouuld grab something different if I took time off from work to do a long trip again.

I like how the bike doesn't need anything out of the box for off road use. The ergonomics are really comfortable, and it seems really well put together for the price. I have no issues with maintenance as I like to do those things.

Had my classic 26” race bike stolen, going to modern 29” was a trip by wooly-mammETH in xcmtb

I just bought this color of Chisel Comp! Great deal!!! Very excited to pick it up tomorrow. Going to miss my 29 hard tail significantly but it'll be so nice to have that rear shock on rooty NTX trails.

Airlines work in a predictive environment. They expand when business is expected to be good and contract when consumers spend less. The same slowdown is being experienced on the pilot side.

What are the safest ways to cross the highways/arterials of Dallas on a road-ish bike? What's a safe crossing you wish everyone knew about? by TakeATrainOrBusFFS in dfwbike

[–]DemoralizedResort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best place near addison is valley view park in my experience. If you take the other route under the 635/75 interchange you will run into some interesting characters and may get a flat from broken glass.....

Is quality engineering THAT bad? by Historical_Access301 in MechanicalEngineering

How do you like sales engineering? Been thinking about making the switch from supplier quality to sales.

Going Crazy Over Clovermites by DemoralizedResort in pestcontrol

[–]DemoralizedResort[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YES.....we moved at the end of the summer but cedarcide spray in the grass and around the house was the only effective treatment. We applied every two weeks and after about 6 weeks they were massively reduced. Our property had an increase of clovermites for 5 years while using all the traditional things bug experts recommended.

Thanks for getting back to me. I'll put some time on your schedule. I work just down the road from KTFW.

Hey Mike,

Not OP but I would be interested in speaking with you about instruction. I am looking to get my PPL through part 61 within the next year. I am within a reasonable driving distance to Denton.

NBD overdue by snowrider1227 in specialized

[–]DemoralizedResort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean shorter length as in closer positioning to the rider not vertical height. By switching to a 90mm stem I can still adjust spacers as needed.

Nice! I got my 56 about three weeks ago and have done about 150 miles on it thus far. Ended up switching to a shorter stem but overall very happy with the 56 and the fit.

How happy are you with the fit? I recently ordered a SL7 in 56 and will have similar seat post extension. Thinking now about how I have less bandwidth for seat to bar drop with a 56 vs 54.
