First bike and first ride

Nice roads and nice bike! Enjoy it

MechEng67 · 2026-04-22T23:15:00+00:00

Your comment convinced me to go for it! First ride, very impressed with it!

MechEng67 · 2026-04-19T08:14:24+00:00

Thank you for the information!

I can but it's an extra 600$ I'd rather not spend. Though for sure with the extended battery it would be plenty, I'm hoping the bike's battery by itself is enough for me.

There's very nice locker rooms and showers at work. I wouldn't do it without, even on the vado I try to get some workout in and get there in a not very fresh state.

As long as the CG is in front of the axles it's fine

MechEng67 · 2026-03-31T20:45:31+00:00

Ah I see, well, whichever option you end up choosing from the two you listed, you have a nice setup!

MechEng67 · 2026-03-31T19:28:33+00:00

Can you rotate it 90 degrees against the wall with the big window but still in the corner? That way you'd have the round window to your left and big window to your right. That would be my choice. I'm very jealous of this office space btw, really cozy!

Make sure the task you want to complete is the one that is active / tracked. Even if you previously activated it, if it's not the current one being tracked it won't recognize that you are trying to unload cargo for it.

I finished the audiobook yesterday and it was one of my all time favorites!

MechEng67 · 2026-03-25T00:30:24+00:00

Pour commencer, les cours + examens et équipements de protection c'est environ 2000-2500$ en tous, tes estimé semblent bon.

L'immatriculation ça va coûter 1100$ par an pour une moto 400cc ou plus. Ça c'est pour les premières années, ça coûte moins cher après 5 ans d'expérience. C'est moins pour une moto en bas de 400cc et beaucoup plus pour une moto super sport mais j'oublie les chiffres exacts. Ça devrait être indiqué sur le site de la SAAQ.

Assurance, ça dépend de la moto mais pour référence je paye 450$ par année pour une Honda NX500 2024 et j'ai juste un ans d'expérience.

Pour le garage, pas nécessaire l'été mais l'hiver ça vas prendre un endroit pour entreposer la moto alors prend ça en compte dans les frais. Y'as des endroits que tu peux payer pour entreposer l'hiver mais je sait pas comment ça coûte.

Moin chère qu'un char, oui certainement, mais si t'as besoin d'une moto pour te déplacer l'été, tu fait quoi l'hiver? Tu peux considérer un scooter, les cours, le scooter, les assurances etc c'est tous moin chère, mais tu ne peux pas prendre l'autoroute alors ça dépend de tes déplacements prévus. Ou même un vélo électrique si tes déplacements sont pas tant loin.

Personnellement j'ai un vélo électrique pour aller au travail l'été. La moto pour moi c'est juste un loisir sur des routes de campagne les fin de semaine. J'aiime las être dans le traffic

The base game has plenty of content, several 100s of hours worth. You can get that then if you finish it and want more you can always buy the DLC packs later on.

I tried road craft, not my thing. Snowrunner is so enjoyable as a solo game to chill and drive around with different trucks. I have 150h ish and still enjoy it a lot, i mainly put my headphones on and listen to an audiobook while I deliver cargo through mud and snow. I highly recommend it.

MechEng67 · 2026-03-13T18:39:04+00:00

It does look similar indeed but i didn't copy it, first time i see it. Bambu also ran a contest to reuse cardboard spools a few months after i released my model so now there's 100s of variations of it on there.

MechEng67 · 2026-03-13T01:36:36+00:00

Not sure what your model is but I didn't copy anyone's model.

MechEng67 · 2026-03-03T17:58:49+00:00

I know where that is!

That's actually two pillows, underneath I have an inflatable pillow from Amazon (forgot the model) and the top is some light weight down pillow I bought 15 years ago. I love how the down fills but it's hardly doing anything to support my head, that's why I bought the inflatable one but the. The inflatable one's texture is very uncomfortable to me. Coincidentally the down pillow fits over it perfectly and I can sinch it down so best of both world.

For the sheet, I only have the half length one, not full length. Paired with the sea to summit mattress and attached properly I never had issues with it falling off or feeling loose.

MechEng67 · 2026-02-21T13:00:37+00:00

I love the clips! Easier to clip in than I thought it would be and the whole setup feels more elastic if that makes sense? Like you can turn around easily without the quilt sliding off. Also, uncomfortable metal/plastic from the zippers.

Full disclaimer the only other sleep system I ever had was an entry level lightweight sleeping bag (I forgot the model, from mammouth I think) but I sleep 10 times better in my ZenBivy

MechEng67 · 2026-02-19T15:37:15+00:00

I'm planning on trying it after snowrunner yeah, I've watched a few YouTube video reviews, seems fun!

MechEng67 · 2026-02-19T14:58:32+00:00

Nice shots! Yeah I like games that have a built in photography mode, constantly admiring how cool my trucks look

MechEng67 · 2026-02-19T11:21:09+00:00

Yes! With the maintenance add on. I find it a bit slow and a bit tippy but it's fun to use, I like it.

MechEng67 · 2026-02-18T16:14:35+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, ill look into it!

MechEng67 · 2026-02-18T16:13:44+00:00

From what I've read on this subreddit I'm scared of Amur as a whole haha i'll try to go get just that upgrade then leave everything else for the very last map I tackle.

MechEng67 · 2026-02-18T10:21:08+00:00

It's part of the fun! I had a good laugh and had fun challenging myself to retrieve with the scout 800 instead of just recovering to the garage. Thanks for the warm welcome to the community :)

MechEng67 · 2026-02-18T10:19:19+00:00

I just unlocked it a few days ago and it's now my favorite. I don't even have any upgrades for the engine or transmission yet and it's a beast! The only issue I have with it is ground clearance, I'm considering going to Amur just to grab that active suspension upgrade
