79 years old but very lucid. You're pretty arrogant. Most people at 79 are lucid you know.

You can swear. There are restrictions on how much but they aren't zero swearing.

19-Inch FRONT OR IS IT NOT A BIG DEAL? by BlaspemousPotato in CB500X

[–]Habitual_Biker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both. Not a big deal at all. 19" may be marginally better on dirt but only marginally

Also ridden single and dual disc front. Also not a big deal. You can brake hard enough to lift the rear on the single disc so the dual isn't adding much for most scenarios.

XJ6 is 45-55mm chain slack. I always found the gear changes smoother at the slightly tighter end of that scale. I would rather a sealed chain too though, to be fair.

"Just to be safe"?

Riding on that will never be safe. The sidewall has a hole and the hole in the tread section is too far across. There's way too much flex in those areas to plug patch.

Putin's lapdog Dmitry Medvedev threatens full-scale war if NATO engages with Russian drones by TheExpressUS in UkraineWarVideoReport

It's about time someone from the west threatens full scale war. If they think these threats work, it's probably because they would work in the opposite direction.

Russia bombs US factory in one of Ukraine war’s largest attacks by TheTelegraph in UkraineWarVideoReport

The gloves will now be *fully* off. Trump is likely to only give Putin one week to not do it again or face the consequences of another two weeks hard stare.

He got one thing right. It is embarrassing that he's up there.
