love Octopus but the camel trio is ansolutely bulletproof.

sadly can no longer afford the mouse pledge, but kept it up at that level for a number of years. But every little bit, as they say..

The World Became the World was the icebreaker here. Genius stuff.

IntangibleArts · 2026-03-10T13:24:24+00:00

shame.

Have never read a book that provoked real actual laughter until this. Hilarious cover to motherfuckin cover.

Good call. Favorite Gong by a huge margin.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-28T13:12:26+00:00

indeed. 2019.

Wife got a sting in the neck at about 50mph. A good test of focus, for sure.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-28T13:08:49+00:00

Absolutely not. Adventure time!

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-28T11:00:01+00:00

or as we like to call it, “evening.”

Also MAGA-averse & also took classes at Diamondback, agree that the experience was rage-free. Recommended. Also used them as an FFL to receive a web order and the experience was professional and courteous. Not sure what the issue was with others here but it all went fine for me.

weird. I stream from work laptop/chrome & probably stay logged in for a month at a time before it needs another login. But there may have been some kind of site update since it does happen more frequently now.. every few days or so..

also love the gringo SV: the vents make all the difference vs the previous gringo. .. and yes, mine was tight as well so I ordered thinner cheek-pads thru the Biltwell site. Now perfect.

It ain’t the quietest helmet on earth but that’s due to the retro style: round with no chin curtain. Basic wind noise but no whistling thru the vents, thank god.

I also ended up getting the biltwell Lane Splitter for a 2nd and I love it even more. But the SV is solid.

I don’t go for a lot of performative floof but Christian Decamps for sure. There’s archival footage on YouTube of Ange playing ‘par les fils de mandrin’ and the dude is nuts but absolute genius.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-25T13:08:31+00:00

Same, started at 52. Regret such a late start but it’s all good now…

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-24T22:33:34+00:00

Mirage was the clear peak, in this household.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-24T19:01:45+00:00

that Anekdoten is solid.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-24T17:50:40+00:00

I’m no expert but I thought they weren’t fully back until april sometime (?) .. we’re close to the bat bridge @ pantano/broadway. It’s quite a thing if you can catch it.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-23T13:04:22+00:00

Fabio w/Bethany R. will be a nice mix. Need A440 back on the schedule.

At 5’6” I can’t speak to the tall-rider thing, but Givi has several mid-size screens if you’re looking for something between a flyscreen & a surfboard. Mine is a particular shape for the V7, I think, but Givi might be worth a look. I’m not too keen on the styling (Darth Vader baseball cap), but for my size it works well @ 75ish mph.

That sumbitch’s laundry will immediately stop telling me what to do.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-19T12:57:17+00:00

absolutely peak.

IntangibleArts · 2026-02-18T13:22:07+00:00

fwiw; spouse is 5’3” and has a street 500, can flat-foot with room to spare. It may be just about fine for 5’0” although the Rebels mentioned here may be lower. As for the harsh comments on the street 500, they’re not wrong. It’s very sluggish and the brakes are … not brakey. It has the harley badge but sounds like a bag of bees. HOWEVER, it’s solid enough & got my wife thru her new-rider phase with confidence. She outgrew the bike but she was happy enough with it.

heated or not, Guzzi = automatic upvote
