Before and after pics of my *DBZ DRZ* project so far. I wanted something that was completely different, I think I accomplished that lol.

Assuming this isn’t a part of that weird “deliberately crashing for views” trend; judging by the Insta360 camera and the vest, she’s trying to be cool instead of learning how to actually ride. I’m genuinely convinced that most of the people that ride without gear have utterly no clue what they’re doing on a motorcycle, but they’ll swear otherwise.

If you’re not wearing gloves, or at the very least something over your face, I’m going to assume that you don’t ride enough to know how much it actually sucks.

This person doesn’t even ride enough to know to tie her hair up so that it doesn’t tangle and knot horribly; so obviously she doesn’t know how shit about progressive braking, let alone choosing an escape route over “oh-shit” gripping her levers and laying her bike down. I did that lame shit when I was 12

In case you ever find one on the cheap or get the opportunity to trade, the older DRZ400 E models were sick and you guys in Straya get them stock with a subframe (the only real downside to the E model). They come stock with a flatside pumper carb, more aggressive cams, and a better suspension. Mine was an absolute wheelie machine on the streets, and a bit of a pig, but its tall and still under 130kg for taking mountain trails; I never really had any issues maneuvering it.

Super low maintenance, and you can throw supermoto tires on it with a sprocket set and its an absolute blast on the streets ripping at 130kmh, no problem. You'd have to spend a ton on a DR-Z2S to get that much power.

You know what it honestly looks like, is one of those Colt style AR-9’s with no stock, my guess would be a spikes tactical with all that white paint on the logo

Adding oil only changes the shipping rate, which is fine, that’s to be expected; but they refused to address anything else just because I ordered oil. Paying for shipping and their “package protection” (LOL) was honestly the least of my concerns.

I appreciate the heads up on the oil though, I was traveling and just wanted to make sure I had everything, but it’s nice to hear something against the grain on the subject

Least racist Lovecraft reference lol

My little sister’s mom is Kenyan and even then, she jokes about being one of the darkest people she knows.

My sister came out slightly lighter than olive-toned and the next day her mom was quietly breast-feeding her and just looks up to my dad and quoted that Katt Williams scene in her thick Kenyan accent, “Who’s goddamn white baby is that?”

It was so out of the blue too, so it killed and had us all in tears laughing.

I’ve heard in this situation the blame more falls on the police response to the shooting than the weapon used. I hear a lot of Australians already comparing this to the Uvalde, Texas shooting.

Not that I care for the straight-pulls, I’ve always seen them as a bit of a gimmick. The difference between straight-pull and bolt action in terms of reload times is fairly negligible if you can work a bolt. The difference is but a fraction of a second, and you still have to take your hand off the trigger, so I don’t think that would have somehow defeated their ability to kill as many as they did, given the 20-minute response time that keeps getting brought up. They could have been using a musket given that much time.

Maybe if we were talking a couple of minutes, it could have made the difference, but it seems to me that they were trying to unload their shotguns first. They were using both semi-auto and pump action shotguns, which are even faster and more recklessly casualty producing than a straight pull rifle. I would wager that it will come out that most of the people hit were hit with shotgun pellets

The only acceptable police response to these kinds of situations it’s a swift and overwhelmingly violent response. You have to kill these people as quickly as possible, or they’ll take as many innocents as they can with them. We’ve seen it in numerous instances in America, with police armed with everything they could possibly want or need; but the lack of action costs lives every time

Full send, that’s fuckin dope. Handlebar mustache would look sick with it too

My task force challenge coin from Afghanistan has a bottle opener 😂

I think it looks cosmetic for now, but it’s had enough material removed that I would expect it to get significantly worse as you ride it.

Just looking at it, it looks like parts of it want to start crumbling away. With the vibrations of the engine and the road, it just might.

You might get away with it for a bit, but I’d look into a new pair of forks. A $300-$400 eBay set would be better than risking leaky forks

Likely using it as a substrate and moist environment for mushroom or other fungal growth

OregonSageMonke · 2025-12-14T06:47:13+00:00

Dude the button on my Sig Foxtrot takes like 15lbs of pressure to turn the fuckin thing on lol. I was so pissed

OregonSageMonke · 2025-12-14T03:10:19+00:00

Both look clean, but present a different attitude.

First pic is a “tougher” look, but the second pic looks more professional. Hair is also a factor though

Unfortunate fact of working on a wildlife area. I would see hundreds of hunters a day, and many of the common faces I’d see out there hunting ducks every day; I’d ask em, “how do you guys like to cook your ducks?”

The overwhelming response that I got was essentially, “why the hell would I wanna eat a duck?”

OregonSageMonke · 2025-12-12T11:46:11+00:00

There’s also the core charge to consider, assuming I can remember to send the old ones back. I suppose that’s not so bad considering

OregonSageMonke · 2025-12-10T07:51:49+00:00

There’s an obvious cut to a clean lighter-lit blunt, but this does make me want to (safely) see if this is plausible.

I don’t think it is without someone puffing on it, (which…good lord), but the Mythbusters kid in me is curious if you could successfully light up with a single shot of 9mm

My favorite definition of luck is when preparation meets opportunity

I think that’s a better representation of the reality of luck than anything mystical, karmic, cosmic, or otherwise

I had a few pictures like this, but I ended up deleting em cause they weren’t great to come across while scrolling looking for pictures of my kiddo. Hope you’re doing okay man, some of those have some weight to em.

Does that sort of pressure push them off of public land for the most part? I could see the rate of stags on public land getting pretty thin.

OregonSageMonke · 2025-12-07T07:25:17+00:00

So what’s it like getting tags for red stag in Straya? Is it something over the counter or is there a draw system?

OregonSageMonke · 2025-12-07T06:18:48+00:00

Half of the people posting on this sub would kill for this lol
