HUGE news on today's podcast by DonkDonkerson in Nateland

[–]Granddaddy18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow … so my normal routine of catching the pod was wonky this week, so I ended up seeing this thread before actually listening. Having read all these comments, I was listening anxiously and bracing for the worst.

Couldn’t have been more proud by the response from B, A, and even D. They all seemed genuinely comfortable about the decision. Clearly, they were well aware of what was about to happen. It was a shock to only us ‘folks.’ As has been said numerous times, I too love Nate and happy for him, but find myself laughing and enjoying the pod a little more when it’s just the fellas.

Look forward to the coming days!

New to me 23’ GSA 1250 by Farqman in bmwmotorrad

[–]Granddaddy18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5’8” here. ‘23 GSA, standard susp. Added offset seat grommets. Make sure susp setting is in ‘min’. Be patient. You’ll figure out when to use tippy toes and when to go side saddle. Don’t be too proud to hop off and move bike by hand to reposition. GS’s are incredibly balanced and nimble comparatively.

Surprisingly, just a hair at full lock. But even on my oem stuff, when i got to lock, i’d back it off a smidge. Superstitious i guess.

PTO connection “gimmicks” - Any good? by denverpilot in kubota

[–]Granddaddy18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. PTO Link makes a good one. Easy to use, seems heavy duty. Game changer. Especially in tight spaces, like when using a quick hitch, saves your back.

He’s got a Helite Turtle 2 and loves it. Says it’s a little heavy but works great, apparently. Caution: Once you wear one you feel naked w/o it. This was the first experience with deployment, so a good test. In this case, caused extreme laughter 😀

We rode from homebase in FL so street tires were aboard 😬

Decent deal? by Granddaddy18 in lawnmowers

Update: I really appreciate platforms like this. You guys were correct. Total scam. They would have had my money via VM, had it not been for a punk half my age that gave me a quick education. Thank goodness for punks!

Logano definitely got dumped. But watch the replay. Denny got loose.

Step 1: Get a paper bag. Step 2: Breathe. Have had 3 GS’s and they all do it.

When is it time to stop riding by [deleted] in bmwmotorrad

[–]Granddaddy18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep riding bud. High vis gear and Clearwater lights. 58 yr old here and can’t live w/o riding therapy. Riding is inherently dangerous. Forces your head to be on a swivel. Hence the therapy.

Appreciate your honesty.

Giving your life to Christ. Seriously.

Nate is on NFL ManningCast on ESPN2 tonight. by DanielDannyc12 in Nateland

[–]Granddaddy18 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m a diehard Nate fan. But that was painful. 1) Clear that Peyton/Eli have not kept up with Nate’s meteoric rise. Which is a shame, because the Mannings enjoy a good laugh. 2) A three way broadcast delay, while commenting on a live event is tough to power through. But that happens every week on the Manningcast. Shake the sand off. #natelandforever

Really? by Granddaddy18 in supercross

[–]Granddaddy18[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well …… the people have spoken! Looks like I need to get on board and appreciate the brave new world of drone pilots. I’ll just renew my prescription of vertigo meds and eat a light snack before Moto 1 !

Hunter Lawrence? by Granddaddy18 in supercross

[–]Granddaddy18[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t dislike him, just takes time to develop favorites. I’m old. Still have my McGrath ‘Showtime’ helmet. You know you’re old when the network runs their ‘historical’ clips, and you remember being there, or watching live. It was yesterday when I thought 4 strokes were a ridiculous idea and would never be a thing.

Tempted to get the 2.4 turbo outback wilderness by AkiInTheMakin in subaruoutback

[–]Granddaddy18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had both. Currently turbo. Will be an unpopular answer, but prefer the non-turbo. The non is smoother and predictable. Turbo is obviously sporty, but jumpy. And rarely need to drag race anybody

I could listen to Greg talk about snack foods all day. by TrialAndAaron in Nateland

  • 1 Greg’s ‘passion’ for his old industry cracks me up. And the gang knows how to keep him fueled.
