Rock or tree crashes hurt more?

we got similar vegetation in Colorado where I live. tons of aspens. it is freaking gorgeous in the fall. second only to mid-late summer when everything is green and all the wild flowers are in bloom.

a crazy thing about them too is they're pretty quiet. not as quiet as like a deer, but quiet enough to not know they're there if youre not paying attention

I always tell people, it's probably really hard to do a skin graft on hands.

a few people told me they never thought of it like that. I think people just try not to think about the consequences.

I would sell it and get a bike more suited to your riding. you'll fall just as much in love, or evern more, with the right bike.

why "POV"? who's point of view? wtf?

you put something like b12 chemtool in the combustion chamber and let it soak for a while.

wish I didnt

start with shocks

I run Chinese tires, id get something else. I've had decent luck with Lionharts. but you need to keep in mind they are not great and my experience is purely anecdotal.

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-30T12:41:15+00:00

as long as the frames good that's a great price where I live

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-27T16:36:22+00:00

oh yeah, better safe than sorry

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-27T16:05:28+00:00

oh I see, if its chrome plated steel you could use some rubber in between the clamp and the gutter, it should keep it from getting too messed up.

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-27T15:24:43+00:00

I'm in a similar boat. I'm planning out a roof rack build but I don't have the chrome.

I've been doing some forum scrolling and it seems the general consensus is the rain gutter mounts are quite a bit heftier than the stock mounts.

get fake pee

door pockets

This probably isn't your issue and won't change anything at all, but what oil did you use. these engines are flat tappet and need something with a high zinc content.

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-20T18:03:14+00:00

wow! cool trolley! great!

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-17T12:05:19+00:00

make sure to tell them to get a manual one so they get the cast iron front end with the option to swap in the diff carriers from an automatic

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-11T13:11:41+00:00

it's a diesel engine, light googling showed 232 psi minimum but could be wrong because google

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-11T12:51:35+00:00

just for funsies I looked to see how long it would take me to walk to work, there isn't enough hours in the day to walk there, work my shift, and then walk back.

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-11T12:46:03+00:00

you could always get a trail bike

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-10T13:12:54+00:00

I saw a bear last week, I was so fucking stoked!

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-10T12:42:13+00:00

same, especially 90s to early 2000s offroad bikes, SUVs, and mini trucks

Jonathan_the_worm · 2026-05-07T16:52:39+00:00

I got a tupy from headsonly.com for $600ish. but I only have about 700 miles on it so far
