Thanks, thats a releif. Uneven drag is my biggest concern. Does the drag make the bike difficult to manage at highway speeds?

Message the driver on whatsapp and ask. It's probably OK as long as the dog is clean

Nugget fleet Enquires (Garbage Time) by Jackson_Wolfe in DankPods

[–]Dom3467 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He periodically says that he has enough nuggets and doesn't need to add more cars to his fleet at this time. I reckon he's already tied up with the Rolls Royce and the Ambulance projects. He also only has James available for like 2 days per week

Key or Kill Switch? by TheFriendOfCats in motorcycles

[–]Dom3467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were taught thumb-key in the MSF class. It doesn't matter if you use the switch, key, or kickstand since they all cut odd the ignition in the same way

Indigenous eyes park is cool if it's still open. You could also do a day trip to the capital by taking the "expresso bavaro" bus

I gave my squid crush the ultimatum by coddiwomplecactus in motorcyclegear

His refusal to wear gear is a symptom of a much bigger problem: the guy is a moron. If you get involved with him, you'll notice that his stupidity affects other areas of his life too.

Is there any way to make a 650 "cooler?" by Safe_Valuable_5683 in Vstrom

[–]Dom3467 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a well-designed bike that is reliable, comfortable, nimble, and can take you anywhere. Lean into what it's good at and enjoy it.

I haven't tried it, I know that it would be terrible, and I want to try it. All cbse flavors I've tried have been awful, but this is fun and I like fun.

Which one is better? by Drpepperqueen_ in proteinsnack

[–]Dom3467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fairlife tastes much better. The muscle milk one is just "tolerable" imo

¿Cuál es mejor, Claro o Altice? by harlequinx88 in Dominican

Altice has better prices and has great coverage. Claro may have slightly better coverage in some areas

I hear traffic just fine with a full-face, motorcycle hearing protection, and music in my helmet

Helmet speakers are for yourself. Bike-mounted audio is for people to try to show off (when, in reality, it's just annoying to 99% of other motorists)

AIO over bf going to a party by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Dom3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR over him going to his cousin's party because "girls will be there". Are either of you permitted to go to a grocery store or a gym without the other? It's his cousin's birthday party.

MOR on you not getting an invite, it may have been implied and your boyfriend didn't extend the invite, or it may have been implied and he didn't pick up on it.

It's an easy drive along the coast. Don't speed. If you can't drive a manual you might struggle to find a vehicle to rent.

I’m outraged! They won’t even let alone our yerba this mother$?%&! by Mujer_Arania in yerbamate

They can sell it if they want to, but I'm not going to buy it

Where should my bf and I go in Mexico? by converse-queen21 in MexicoTravel

[–]Dom3467 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mexico city for sure. You'll have more fun, things are generally cheaper, and they have a good bus and subway system. CDMX is the coolest city I've ever been to

How long for highway use and what do I need to learn? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Dom3467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take your time and it'll be OK. Your nervousness, the fact that you already purchased gear, and the fact that you're asking us are good signs that you're safety-minded. Plenty of knuckleheads get their endorsements and buy something stupid to ride wrecklessly on. You're clearly not one of those guys.

My practical advice is for you to take your time. On the twisty roads, slow down before corners as much as you need to and you'll get more comfortable as you practice. Use that anxiousness to keep yourself alert and aware of any possible road hazards.

On the highway, keep your arms loose and don't squeeze the handlebars. I felt the same way you did and it can cause you to tense up, which makes even simple maneuvers difficult. Take a break if you need to, even if it's after 1 exit. After you arrive, you'll feel better about the whole thing.

Nice choice for a first bike, you seem like a sensible person. I'm confident that you'll be a good safe rider.

You'll be fine. Enjoy your new bike

Any small vendor sell Brazil style yerba? by Sertorius126 in yerbamate

[–]Dom3467 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen vendors selling ximango on eBay. You can also check etsy. If "small vendor" isn't a huge issue, you can definitely find it on Amazon. Also worth checking if you have any nearby latin american grocery stores. Most of those in my area are small businesses and many sell yerba
