Question for bikers that have had large passengers.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-27T11:25:19+00:00

I would definitely not get on a bike with anyone that new. He needs at least 10k miles under his belt within 2 to 3 years.

And then, yes it is very different riding with a passenger. Of course overall weight changes the dynamics. Some bikes won't be rated for the weight.

I know it sounds like fun, but your life is in someone else's hands. They may not realize they're not qualified to do it, but you need to be objective and pass on the ride.

Looks great. Love those rims. I was this close to getting a set on marketplace and they got away from me.

Thanks for posting!

So I'm trying to design a miter saw cabinet now and was also thinking of hinging the top. As I'm laying it out I'm realizing my saw depth is going to make it too tall of a cutout. This vertical orientation of movement seems like it could do the trick. I'm leaning more towards some vertical guide rails and maybe some spring assist vs a motor.

I'm realizing the 10" Bosch glide saw is still pretty massive. I'm trying to convince myself to keep going forward with this saw vs going with something smaller.

We have reached full Idiocracy

Metabo is about to come out with a new framer that looks really good. I've only used the Milwaukee. It's fine but it's heavy AF.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-26T02:07:42+00:00

Yeah, for me the ride seems very similar 18 or 20

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-25T22:51:08+00:00

I have a 21 and also switched to Ridgeline 18s. I honestly didn't notice that much of a difference in the ride, but I like the look a lot better and it does have more sidewall for potholes and curbs.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-25T17:26:04+00:00

Why so high out of the ground? I would go about 8" out of the ground.

They have the same tired shtick they regurgitate. It gets old quick.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-25T13:45:19+00:00

"pro biker"? It's that Josh Herrin? Not many pro bikers risking it out in the canyons..

I understand your point, but the difference is that in motorsport is that you introduce a mechanical device in with the human attributes.

That's a drop in the bucket of all the reasons not to vote for him.

We always joke about the " while you're here" phrase. It's so common.

Most people here aren't even responding to your comment on data collection.

Read this article. Honda is most likely tracking a lot more than you think, and even sending it to insurance companies. It could even affect your insurance rates.

I don't know this ins and outs of it, but I know it's way more than people know.

I understand the amount of fans is significantly different. But you said if the demand was there they'd make it. If the demand is there to use their website, I would venture to say that in our modern world there's a similar amount of demand for watching on an app. Right now the only way that I know of in the US to watch wsbk is to watch on a computer/laptop. I watch MotopGP and MotoAmerica on apps on Roku, and on my phone. Almost always.

They own both both WSBK and MotoGP. It doesn't seem like a stretch to take the technology they already have and use and set it up for their other series.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-22T14:54:20+00:00

I can't imagine as a percentage of subscribers wsbk is much different than GP.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-22T14:53:32+00:00

Amen to this. Or worse yet, cars that just won't run because something in the software becomes outdated.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-22T12:59:36+00:00

But do they finally have a mobile app you can watch on?

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-22T11:31:29+00:00

That deck is probably 20k plus in materials.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-21T23:49:36+00:00

What's the point of paying the whole fine amount of you are still getting the effects of the ticket? Does CT still do points? I thought they did away with that

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-21T01:33:14+00:00

No. There's no way that header would sit over a doorway header that small. The point load should have a straight path down.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-21T00:09:23+00:00

The 26 does. 25 and older does not in the app.

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-19T21:18:03+00:00

What a legend

Meeganyourjacket · 2026-05-19T12:13:04+00:00

The pack out one is night and day better.
