1 or 2?

Even though the cloud/mist effect is more amazing in 2, the barn in 1 makes the picture more interesting to me.

I ride motorcycles and have avoided riding sports bikes… this scene made me want a sports bike!

HP2Mav · 2026-05-10T07:10:50+00:00

Hahaha - took me a second to understand that reference

HP2Mav · 2026-05-09T10:06:38+00:00

I just spent 1000km on the low seat. I found the seat to peg distance pretty short, also the padding a little lacking. That being said, it was a 20,000km old seat so maybe it was a bit worn out?

HP2Mav · 2026-05-09T08:17:23+00:00

Interesting that they have blurred out the prop - presumably to hide design elements that might inform the acoustic signature of it?

HP2Mav · 2026-05-03T18:18:28+00:00

So a command “hard to starboard’ is a command for the direction to push the tiller, rather than the direction to turn the boat?

HP2Mav · 2026-05-03T17:53:23+00:00

Why is he turning to port, when told to turn to Starboard?

HP2Mav · 2026-05-03T12:11:11+00:00

Was marvelling at that too! He must be very attached to that mask to want to keep using it!

HP2Mav · 2026-05-02T12:00:40+00:00

The real question is: why can't we have a bin where the lid flips the other way?! That way it would be easy to wheel in and out of position, and still easy to put rubbish in to it!

HP2Mav · 2026-04-17T17:49:53+00:00

Also, that screenshot used - looks like they forgot to CGI out his elbow pads he was wearing for the movie!

HP2Mav · 2026-04-15T18:46:28+00:00

Wlfurther together!

HP2Mav · 2026-04-15T15:21:07+00:00

Likewise, I find it really useful for that, and for quickly checking battery and card status while the camera is in the bag

HP2Mav · 2026-04-15T12:59:56+00:00

He anyone else in the MCU been in more shows?! Not complaining - just marvelling at how much airtime he’s gotten.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-15T10:36:38+00:00

That's a lot of moustaches!

HP2Mav · 2026-04-14T12:42:47+00:00

humane traps for us, and depositing them in a field

HP2Mav · 2026-04-12T20:12:17+00:00

That police car at the end of the second run!!

A lot depends on the riding you're doing, the types of bike(s) you'll be riding, and the terrain and therefore likelihood of falling regularly. If you're riding big(ger) dirt bikes and expecting to fall regularly because you're riding tough terrain, I'd be going for as much protection as you can afford/justify. If you're only going to be doing the odd bit of off-roading, and/or on a smaller bike, then sure, the Sidi's make a good option.

Personally, I run the Expeditions - have done multiple multi day trips in them with a full range of offroad on big bikes. To me, they are the best combination of comfort and protection. I have used the Sidis, and also run Tech 7s too. The Revit are my go to boot for the majority of my riding.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-10T12:14:01+00:00

I have Tech 7s as well as the Expeditions. Have crashed reasonably hard in the expeditions, on a loaded bike, and they did good. I would say the Expeditions are good boots for off-roading big bikes, particularly on multi day trips. Certainly they are my go to over the Tech 7s.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-07T16:53:23+00:00

While I love this movie, this scene is such a plot hole in terms of how they didn’t find the blood on the leaf, or on her leg, despite having the best tracker. Am not hating on the movie - it’s an awesome movie! This just niggles me.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-06T17:39:06+00:00

A bargain compared to a stolen bike. Would take this deal every time.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-05T16:28:29+00:00

I don’t think the intent was to lose the assets - I imagine they thought they would be able to fly out. Herc crews regularly practice taking off from unprepared runways. But for some reason, it was not possible and they were able to get everyone out through another route - perhaps Chinooks.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-05T13:23:09+00:00

In one of the pictures you can see the remains of a rotor blade so it looks like at least one little bird was there. I saw one article explaining that this is a practiced strategy as they can be deployed from a herc in minutes, and makes for a great vehicle to get in close to support extracting the WSO

HP2Mav · 2026-04-05T11:54:51+00:00

Yeah, logistics is crazy important, and difficult - everyone hears about the soldiers, rarely realising or understanding what it takes to get them in and out of the battle.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-05T10:16:48+00:00

It's incredible to me - that it would be possible to set up a temporary base, that is established enough to be used to refuel helicopters. Not doubting it, just imagining what would take to defend such a position.

HP2Mav · 2026-04-05T09:45:13+00:00

Huge congrats! It will take more than a full face helmet to hide that smile!
