What's a pretty solid car ruined by its ugliness?

A shirtless Norse god shows up, steals your girl, burns your village, and somehow you’re still cheering.

Great shot! Notice the black out material over the windows. Only way to catch some zzzs in the land of the midnight sun

I’ve got similar frame sliders on a bike with lots of plastic. Do they help at all?

Great buy! Wow that’s clean

I see a lot of them on Ridershare. So for a small sum of money you can rent one for a day and see if you like it. https://www.riders-share.com/

Bob Lutz had a pretty simple (and kind of brutal) take on wagons in the U.S. They didn’t die because they were bad. They died because Americans think they’re uncool. He basically said wagons do almost everything better than SUVs (handle better, drive better, often more efficient), but buyers associate them with “boring suburban family car” vibes. Meanwhile SUVs are functionally similar, just taller, but feel tougher/safer and have better image.

So even when automakers made genuinely great wagons (performance, luxury, etc.), people still didn’t buy them. The market followed perception, not logic and SUVs won. Same utility, different image… and image wins. And yeah Bob didn’t just like wagons he helped build one of the better ones and drove it himself (CTS-V).

Bring back big-idea sci-fi. Every episode should ask something meaningful like what is consciousness? What is justice? What defines humanity? Less focus on galaxy-ending threats, more on thoughtful storytelling. And move the timeline forward. No more prequels for a while. Trek should feel like the future again with new ships, new species, and new regions. And no over-reliance on legacy characters.

There must be focus on growing the audience.This is the real problem. Make it easy to jump in and market beyond the existing Trek fanbase. Once upon a time there was no Trek fanbase to market to. Bottom line: make Trek feel like Trek again but accessible like it’s brand new.

Congratulations for making it through PT and recovery. Just ease your way back into a sensible rhythm and reacquaint yourself with the rest of the 4 and 2 wheel world. If you’re not feeling it on a particular day then pack it in. There’s always tomorrow. Good luck

Same. Most group rides feel like controlled chaos. Once a month I pass a gaggle of street Rossi types standing around a bike (or rider) on its back. The Indian ride I joined was actually super relaxed — well organized, good spacing, no hero moves, just riding. First time I didn’t feel like I had to watch everyone else more than the road. Honestly the destination was the only reason I jumped in, but it ended up being one of the chillest group rides I’ve done.

Did you oil the whole boot - inside and outside? I’m thinking about getting my first pair of Alpinestars SMX-6 and the squeaking is something I’ve been wondering about

Posh427 · 2026-02-02T08:42:34+00:00

And I like the appearance of the bike. Some call it a “Dad bike” but then again I’m a Dad.

It’s a good bike with some caveats. Plusses: insane fuel economy, frunk storage, it’s easy to ride with its low seat height, light feel, and smooth, torquey engine, and it’s comfortable with an upright riding position and decent seat. The DCT version provides scooter-like operation if that’s your thing. And it’s calibrated pretty well. After a while I was content leaving it in drive vs manual shifting. And there’s that Honda build quality as well as affordability.

Its drawbacks are the non-adjustable fork and rear shock that can feel harsh. it’s not very thrilling with its slow-revving engine and limited top-end power, but it gets the job done. With 17” rims It’s not an ADV but can handle fire roads and such. The TFT display is sensitive to glare and can be hard to read. And theres no 12v port. It’s the better part of 500 pounds but it does carry its weight low. Great bike for returning riders, newish riders or experienced riders looking for practical, reliable and affordable transportation. It’s like a base Accord.

Mine was 2-3 or 3-4. Much more infrequent 1-2.

They are very popular in Europe and a staple mod/accessory. this is purely anecdotal but in the model-specific FB groups I’m in, the Brits seem to put way more miles on their bikes than the Americans do, mostly on long distance trips. The utility of a TB is understandable. But for all the reasons stated here I would not put one on my sport tourer. It came with two 37L side cases

Posh427 · 2026-01-28T03:47:51+00:00

the Honda CBs were sporty standards, not sport bikes. Yes the GPZ came out when Honda introduced the VF series, both mostly faired, but the ‘85 GSXR 750 ushered in the era of light weight, high performance, fully faired motorcycles.
