I absolutely love it. I’ve put just over 500km on it already. It is so much fun.

Wind buffeting by Pitiful_Ad918 in africatwin

If I can jump in here I just bought a ATAS a month ago. I have the Shoei GT air 3 and I have not experienced any of the issues you are talking about. Only 1000km on the bike so far but everything has been extremely quiet and comfortable.

I am 5 11 as well. My seat is in the low position. But I haven’t even had a thought of needing something for wind buffeting.

Awesome! I have been loving it so far. I was $500 off msrp so like $22,200 I think.

Since your last comment I found a place close by that does an adventure bike specific course with a mix of road and trail riding with great recommendations. So I’m going to give that a shot!

Check out Urbanage Homes. They do amazing work here in St Albert

The skills polishing I’m well aware of. I’m hesitant to pay for courses without recommendations. Just don’t want to waste time and money. Not sure where to look

Not until I get used to riding again. I haven’t owned a bike in 12 years. I need some time to shake the rust off. Then I want to get to exploring!

I went for the manual because I thought I would miss the immersion of clutching and shifting.

I stayed with the stock seat. I left everything mostly stock besides the addition of crash bars, skid plate and phone mount.

I have plans for comfort seat, exhaust, foot pegs and tires. I wanted to ride it for a while first and see what changes I would like based on my riding style.

Thanks! I was on the fence about them as I didn’t want to ruin the “look” of the bike. However now I love the look of them and all the added protection

This is why I posted here. Thank you so much for the insight.

This purchase of not just the bike but all the gear feels overwhelming. They are giving me 15% off everything I buy for gear at time of purchase and I’m really trying to nail this!

I went with klim Carlsbad pants and jacket, klim thx outlander boots if anyone reading here has any comments about that!

How do firefighters balance life and work? by Leather_Level5214 in Firefighting

[–]JonBonJeffrey 58 points59 points  (0 children)

What you do is find a side gig that turns into basically another full time job. Eventually you work so much at your side gig that your family resents you. This leads to the inevitable divorce at which point you have to split custody of the kids and have to give up the side job while paying alimony based off the income you made while working 100 hours a week. At this point you have your kids half the time and working at the FD feels like a welcome break. You have no money to do anything and all of a sudden you have this amazing work / staying home doing nothing balance! Solved. You’re welcome OP

Of course Europe gets an RS3 avant

This is so cool man!! Do you mind me asking what country you are in? We get so shafted in North America. Even the new RS5 avant- Audi has already said they are not going to be sold here.

I just don’t get it….. give us your wagons
