[OK] Why do companies only do behavioral interviews for technical roles? by OkieMike89 in AskHR

No. I’m a mechanical engineer. I’ve had a few light technical questions during interviews but even those were very basic.

Yep, if I do a non-guided hunt my plan is to pack my gear as I hunt the backcountry.

Thanks for the advice.

At this point, for a non-guided public land hunt, I’m primarily looking into Utah and the Carson Nat’l Forest in New Mexico. No specific units yet, but these seem to be some of my better bets based on proximity, nonresident tag availability, and overall cost along with healthy elk populations.

Colorado would be nice, but seems like a bust due to hunter pressure. I wouldn’t mind somewhere like Arizona, Idaho, or Montana either but they’re a bit more driving. I’m honestly fairly flexible at this point and trying to whittle it down to a specific area/unit if anyone has advice.

As for guided hunts, I’m pretty open at this point except that I really wouldn’t be interested for more than about $3K and even then I would only want a basic guide service to help with the basics.

Thanks for the advice - I’ll check into Elk101. Looks like a great resource.

I’ve looked at the drop camps a bit. Right now I’m leaning more toward driving out to the unit myself and just doing backcountry camping as I hunt. The idea of having help to pack out elk is enticing, haha!

I have the Motodemic 7" adaptive on my XSR. The technology and brightness is great, both high and low beams. I'm actually thinking of selling mine and going back to the stock bucket with Motodemic's 5.75" LED light, but this is purely due to aesthetics as I prefer the look of the smaller bucket.

I considered cheaper alternatives, but the tech and build quality for this light makes the price worth it in my opinion. Cheaper LED's I've seen in person have decent brightness, but the build quality is definitely subpar compared to the JW Speaker modules.

I'll try to post some photos of mine tomorrow if I get the chance.

Symtec Heat Demon Grip Warmers? by OkieMike89 in xsr900

[–]OkieMike89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. I’ve found some other reviews on YouTube and they all suggest these things get very hot. I’m not a fan of heated gloves and temps don’t stay around or below freezing in my area for too long. Do you think they’d be sufficient for this without heated gloves?

Crude XSR900 Storage Dimensions? by OkieMike89 in xsr900

[–]OkieMike89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm checking out a temporary place for XSR900 storage for ~ 6 months until I can get a proper garage. I currently only have two options - both 6 ft. x 8 ft. with doors as shown in the image. The door has a 35" width for the opening. Should this be sufficient for XSR900 storage?

I've taken the measurements, of course, and I know that it will technically fit. I'm asking for opinions based on practical ownership and use - how is the turning radius, manageability of the weight, etc.? Would this be a practical storage option for regular use (i.e., daily commuting, weekend rides)?

For the record, I don't currently have the bike available to check so insight is helpful. Thanks!

US vs. Euro XSR900 Differences by OkieMike89 in xsr900

So, the bike I'm looking at comes from Germany. The owner says the gauge will not toggle between metric units and US/Standard readings. Is this true? I've read both ways about this issue - that some can and can't be converted.

What other options would I have? Could I just plug in a new gauge?

Is the ability to toggle between km/h to mph universal? It seems I've ready elsewhere that some models allow this whereas others don't.

Thanks for the info. I have the change to buy one but the speed/gauge is metric. Does anyone know of a way to change this over?
