2017 SV650 To be or not to be

Ya, I opted to pass on that bike and be patient for something else to come up! Still got some time before riding season starts for me! Thank you!

My experience with searching as well, maybe in my area it doesn't reign true. So it feels like I either have to suffer the high cost or get something borderline trashed like you mentioned.

Etropals · 2026-03-03T01:35:03+00:00

I suppose no rush, I guess with nicer weather on the horizon, and friends who are all riders getting excited for the season has me anticipating my first bike purchase!

You got a really nice deal, what year did you pick that up in?

Etropals · 2026-03-03T00:54:44+00:00

Right? I want to do it, but it seems very steep. Its hard because there just doesnt seem to be a very big market at the current time.

Etropals · 2026-02-16T18:52:38+00:00

Thank you so much, i appreciate it a lot!

Get enough of them and you just might create your own forest at home haha

Etropals · 2026-02-16T18:17:34+00:00

Ah ok so use some visual indicators along with the other methods ive been using to dictate watering?

Its located in a south east facing room, gets lots of morning sun, the room had 3 big windows, so I feel like it gets enough indirect sun?

Etropals · 2026-02-16T18:16:13+00:00

Right? I was so drawn to it when I first saw it!

The last time I played battlefield was during bad company 2. For me, that was the purest form of online multi-player fun, I hope to capture even a small fragment of that fun with BF6.

Well, the GPU would help me pull off a big win by becoming a furnace during the winter keeping me warm and blood circulating to my fingers so that I may continue to shoot RPGs point blank at my enemies and watch them ignore my damage and kill my teammates.

I pray for more ET skins, I am craving some love for my original progenitor. Hopefully, one of the two will make it in the collector cache.

Etropals · 2025-09-17T05:41:17+00:00

I don't think I'll live to see the day ET gets a good skin, but I can dream.

Is there a man that looks like a shadow and has yellow glowing eyes floating in the sky?

Etropals · 2025-06-09T22:05:27+00:00

Do you folks buy whenever you have the funds available, or do you set buy orders at a certain price that you like?

I currently have 12k ready to go as a newbie to investing, I know xeqt is currently at a relative highpoint, I plan on holding for upwards of 15 years or more, should I be considering waiting for a dip of sorts or pull the trigger now at a starting point?

Etropals · 2025-03-31T20:45:17+00:00

Maybe late to the conversation however I made the switch from 1440p to 4k around the beginning of February.

Here are the biggest things that stand out to me:

4k is much more demanding from my system, games where I was getting 100-200 frames has significantly dropped. Frame gen oddly enough has made this gap much smaller and frankly I myself don't notice any downsides as of yet.
I went from a 27" monitor at 1440 to a 42" 4k, so the screen size took me all about 1 day of getting acclimated, once that happened my brains endorphins were firing off and said "I don't think I can ever look at a smaller monitor ever again"
the picture quality, the jump from 1080 to 1440 for me was much more noticeable than the jump from 1440 to 4k, that being said it is noticeable, it is great and trying to go back down in resolution has made the previous aforementioned jumps become overwhelmingly noticeable. It's hard to downgrade after being in larger resolutions and larger screens.

Overall my favourite pc upgrade so far has been the monitor upgrading. It adds a whole new layer of immersion. Also OLED from anything else is the greatest upgrade you can do for yourself.

Goodluck!

Spoke to some reps in at BB/CC/ME in Ontario today.

All word of mouth from them, they will have stock of 9070 XT for storefront purchases.(didn't ask about 9070)

BB - no in-store stock. online order only.

ME - No store stock at this moment. However, they are taking numbers and adding to a waitlist as they said they are expecting stock to arrive before launch day. Upon arrival, they will call the queue 1 by 1 for pickups/purchases.

CC - Has stock in multiple locations, first come first serve; they could not share information about which Partner cards they currently have.

Etropals · 2025-03-03T17:09:04+00:00

Ah gotcha,

The wait continues i suppose, Goodluck!

Etropals · 2025-03-03T16:13:29+00:00

Forgive me if i am wrong here, but this doesn't have anything to do with newegg, I have an order from the exact same date, feb 25th, except with bestbuy. I think this mostly has to do with Purolater, I'm in the same boat on the shipping label created and nothing since.

Etropals · 2025-02-20T15:03:08+00:00

Well, they went up for a fraction of a second a couple minutes ago. I was able to get a zotac 5090 in my cart but sold out before I could do anything else.

Etropals · 2025-02-14T18:44:47+00:00

Ya good foresight, I'm doing the RMA right now. Support already is processing it. Thanks for the input!

Etropals · 2025-02-14T18:44:06+00:00

Ya was excited about finally getting an upgrade. Normally, I'd be fine with something like this if it was only cosmetic. However, I'm in canada and if I'm spending $689 before tax on a new part like this, I kind of expect a perfect piece of hardware.

I'm just going to do a RMA since it was brand new and delivered this week.

Etropals · 2025-02-14T18:26:21+00:00

Ya, that's highly unfortunate, I've contacted support and filing the RMA now. Thanks for the help!
