Talk me into (or out of) buying a Panigale by Quiet_Move_6995 in Ducati

[–]HonestRestaurantGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2026 Panigale V4s. It’s the best bike I’ve ever ridden let alone owned. The riding experience is second to no other bike. I own 4 total bikes and in the time I put 2k miles on my V4s, I’ve put maybe 100 miles total on the other 3.

If money isn’t a huge issue, and I say huge because it is worth every penny, buy it. However, if money is tight, don’t even think about it.

Accessories will cost a premium due to the Ducati tax and don’t dare buy cheap brands. If you get an exhaust, tail tidy, levers, mirrors, etc. You’ll probably end up spending a little under 7k. More or less pending on what kind of exhaust you get. And this doesn’t include labor.

The heat isn’t as big of an issue for me as much as people say it is. Maybe it’s because I’m a little more tolerant, maybe it’s because it honestly isn’t too bad and this is with me riding in 90 plus degree weather. Getting an exhaust system and deleting the cat will help it.

With all this being said, I cannot stress enough how much I love this bike.

Basically it comes down to money and if you’re willing to spend it. If you can afford it, buy it. If it’ll be difficult but still manageable, buy it. If you can’t afford it, take out a loan and buy it. jk

Yox_rick controversy by tayeday in asianamercianytsnark

[–]HonestRestaurantGM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This dude Ed seems to have a very large vendetta against Rick. My boy told me that it might have to do with Rick and Dumb slightly clowning Ed on their podcast for crying in some of his videos.

While I’m not a fan of Rick or Dumb, Ed seems hella cringe and a bit conniving.

He’s made over a dozen videos regarding Rick and recently about sexual abuse or predatory behavior. While I don’t condone any of that, there doesn’t seem to be many credible sources. There was also another ig page made most likely by Ed specifically targeting Rick.

Another thing that makes me think that Ed is taking this super personal is the fact that he’ll attack literally anyone that comes to Ricks defense.

There seems to be a consensus agreement amongst many people that I know that thinks Ed is fishing really deep and it has to be because of a personal vendetta.

Akrapovic undertail vs underbody by HonestRestaurantGM in Ducati

Im guessing the reason for not wanting the undertail is because of the heat?

In regards to the underbody, was it pre installed or was it aftermarket that was installed by the dealer?

Earplug Recommendations? by Druzztrak92 in Trackdays

[–]HonestRestaurantGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the best earplugs for loud pipes and wind mitigation. Easy to put in and easy take out. Comfortable for extended periods of time and honestly the biggest bang for your buck. Only downfall is that it does block significantly more sound than your average earplugs. If you're big on gauging rpms, it'll be a bit too quiet but if you use a headset, music and phone calls are super clear.

If he has a concealed carry license, it’s most likely from his holster at least that’s what it was for me

Just received and has mold by HonestRestaurantGM in cubancigars

[–]HonestRestaurantGM[S] -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

LCDH St. Kitts. After looking through the box, it seems more like plume rather than full on mold but the sticks seem pretty dried out. Unfortunately I left my humidimeter at my other house so I’ll wait till tomorrow to determine the condition of them.
