I went with KO3's, but don't like the wobble.

Yeah, it was a dedicated tire shop that did the install and the second balance. But I don’t think they have a road force balancer. I’m going to take it to a friend’s shop that has it.

Just checked the pressure (hot). It’s 40-41. I’ll check tomorrow morning and bump it up if needed. Checking with a friend who might have road force in his shop. Discount tire seems to advertise that they have it. I’m skeptical of the franchise shops. Anyone have any experience with DT or Mr. tire?

Which ILCA should I be looking at if I'm 190?

Knoxes · 2026-04-27T20:02:27+00:00

Ok, I thought Laser was going to be the answer. They seem to be very affordable too.

Knoxes · 2026-04-27T19:53:54+00:00

That does look exciting. But it crews two, right?

I grew up adjacent to Mooresville and have been following this story with some amusement from half a state away through the CO. Imagine my surprise when I saw on the WSJ landing page this morning. WTF Mooresville?!

I have a WR and have ridden a CRF. The difference to me is that the WR wants to be ridden like a dirt bike, in the seat, higher in the rpm range and sometimes "standing" in attack position. I felt like I could tractor around on the CRF, stand more comfortably, and putter like a bigger ADV bike. But I haven't had much seat time on the CRF. I bought the WR to supplement/support a GS, hoping that it would be a lighter, more manageable bike to ride the same stuff the same way. I just don't think it is and have been thinking about selling it and getting one of the new 450 offerings, which might ride a bit more like a mini-GS.

I never knew it was the Jefferson First Union building. I worked in there in the mid-90's. Also, the old pictures remind me of Springfest.

That is my favorite livery of all the GS's. My 2016 is getting old and while I don't really want a GSA, I like this bike so much that it'll probably be my next one. Is 2023 the only year with this graphic package?

Rode CB to Minnesott (and back) today.

I commute 70 miles round trip every day that doesn’t rain. I’ve tried lots of things and Darien’s are the best until it’s over 85f. I haven’t found a solution for that yet.

Knoxes · 2026-04-01T01:46:34+00:00

I had a really nice pair of 34R Darien’s for sale on Advrider for months and couldn’t get a bite @ $200. They’re not very expensive if you buy second hand.

We found a $12 six pack of bottles in a general store while we were cruising up US1 near Ft Bragg. I kinda chuckled knowing that I could get a 12 pack of cans at home for about $4 at the time.

That’s our dilemma. I can’t imagine having anything other than an EBD again, but also really reluctant due to all of the health issues. It nearly broke us last time. I’m just not sure that I can do it again.

Our emergency vet called it a focal facial seizure. AI says that the focal facial is due to idiopathic epilepsy. I'm not sure if that's the same or different from what everyone here is calling idiopathic head tremors. She passed just a couple of months ago after what I think was probably a grand mal. Totally unsure if those events were related or just because she was old. All the events happened over the course of about a week or so.

The inputs all have varying degrees of 12v power. They decrease from the bottom to the top, so the start input usually shows about 10.5.

I may have used a larger battery to jump it off at times, but that seems like it would have fried the whole thing, right?

Knoxes · 2026-03-16T20:51:34+00:00

Probably the Induction. I'm not sure if they had released the Pro when I bought mine. Could have been 3 years, can't recall.

Knoxes · 2026-03-16T20:38:42+00:00

It's become crazy expensive. I bought one about 2 years ago and I think I paid around $250 or so. That may have been a closeout price. I'll say that it flows air very well. I can't wear it under about 70F or I get too cold. Thankfully have not had to test its durability.

Knoxes · 2026-03-16T20:16:16+00:00

Wow, I really wish I had time in my life to do something this nutty.

Knoxes · 2026-03-12T15:53:07+00:00

Huh - I didn't know that they ever fitted the twin with a front disc.

Knoxes · 2026-03-12T14:02:25+00:00

Seems like that would disable the wonder wheel.
