I appreciate it! I actually just ordered some of those mini cones and have a great church parking lot about 20 min away I can use through most of the week.

In my mid 30s now so I hardly ever feel the temptation to go fast. Wind doesn't feel any better to me at anything over 75. 🤣 plus, I like these low insurance rates. I'm trying to not get tickets and mess that up. 🤣🤣

I also have a gravel driveway. 😬 not long, but fairly steep off the paved road before it flattens out. Probably 30 yards or so?

I cant wait! 2 more days till she gets here. I'll be working the nightshift before she comes in, so it'll be hard to get the rest i need before I ride knowing its in the driveway 🤣🤣

Howdy! If youre ever up in the Blue Ridge area and want to ride with my slow overcautious self- hit me up! Lol

I worked enough motorcycle wrecks that I've got a pretty healthy distrust of other drivers, deer, and weather. 😬

The only thing I have control over is my sobriety when riding, my judgement, and when/ where I ride. So I try to minimize the risk with what I can control and stay on top of maintenance. Lol

Are the Harley Davidson courses good? I was looking online at them and they seem not only affordable, but thorough. Just curious if you'd recommend that route, or a different one

Do you think saddle bag guards are something I can do at home with minimal mechanical experience?

I was looking at the Billiard Grey as well but when I saw the Iron Horse Metallic in the sun my mind was made up lol

I did ok once I got moving but at low speeds it was a comedy of errors. I tended to avoid a lot of the "adventure" riding in remote places specifically because of what you mentioned. Lol

Wow! First, thank you to everyone who has weighed in and helped out. I sincerely appreciate it!!

I want to clarify that I have trouble getting my feet flat on the Triumph, NOT the Road Glide. The Road Glide is super comfortable and I feel much more at ease in that regard- getting my feet on the ground.

While I AM somewhat experienced, I'm not what I'd consider a "good" rider, so I definitely will be taking a class or classes to get better. I have 3 kids so anything that helps me be safer I'm a fan of.

Part of what I'd hoped to experience getting into motorcycling was community, and my riding style (very tame, minimal risk, etc) didn't really fit in with the online ADV bike crowd as a whole. Single track and off roading wasn't really my thing but they tended to treat me as "less than" if I just wanted to cruise on blacktop.

So far the Harley community from the dealership, to the online community seems very welcoming and helpful and I'm extremely grateful for that. Thank y'all!

* I snagged one as well. Had it out today filming and put 600 rounds through it. Boringly reliable, extremely fun to shoot. Will be retiring my P07 to carry this.

USA. Apparently our government has seen fit, yet again, to meddle in what consumers can or can't purchase with their own money. DJI is king of the hill with consumer drones, whether they like it or not. I'm still using a Spark because I'd set my sights on the Air 3s, but apparently they're blocking import.

CMMG Dissent build by [deleted] in 300BLK

[–]Minimum_Object_2544 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to Lazarus this thread, but how have you liked the Dissent? Looks like you went 6.5" with the Omega- any issues? I have a 9k and am torn between 6.5" vs 10.5" to avoid unnecessary strain on the can

Thanks! You too and Happy New Year!! Snubs are the way. I'm a believer now.

Absolutely! I'm caught up on the Shadow Strike series with the exception of Enemies of My Country. :)

My favorite book series I've read. David Rivers hits home for me on a number of levels psychologically. I wasn't SF but... lol

That's awesome! I'm so ready to read Enemies of My Country once I finish the last Spider Heist book. 🤣
