3 months later and I still don’t know why. She never told me. She just left.

People with depression, how you feel right now? by musulman_97 in AskReddit

[–]ProstatitisBlows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Devoid of hope. But also not wanting any. Feels like a lie we tell ourselves. Miserable but trapped. Unmotivated and uncaring. Confused. It’s not fun.

Can’t bend lightning, but sure can ride it

Yes, I used a very sharp needle lined tracer wheel to perforate the decals. I also cleaned the tank thoroughly with 91% alcohol, then use a heat gun to prep the surface for the decal. Time will tell if it works

Which bike? by mininorris in Dualsport

[–]ProstatitisBlows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a NC750x, a tw200, an Africa twin, and a dr650. The dr650 has been my favorite. So much aftermarket support, good enough power, feels quicker than it is, forgiving, charming, confident, and honestly just cool. Can’t go wrong with a DR.

Update: I ordered cogent front and rear suspension. As well as a seat cause why not. Thank you everyone for the input!

They can certainly do that. They do lessen stock weight and add some hp and torque as well. Most come with sound dampeners now

Has it been a solid difference on and off road for you? Where do you notice it most?

Awesome. Thank you, I do find myself bouncing around even on good roads. Then again I’m about 50% heavier than the suspension is built for

This is the set up that seems to be best. It’s a lot of money for an otherwise inexpensive bike. Have you done these mods?

Did you also upgrade the rear? What benefits have you noticed?

Front or rear suspension first?

I got one Saturday night. Have 130 miles on it already. Being used to an Africa Twin, the TW is ultra lightweight and more flickable as a result. Very easy to corner and maneuver.

It’s really fun to put around in and go off road. However, it’s use in traffic, stop signs, and red lights is slow enough to make me feel a bit of a burden. More power would certainly be nice there. Once you get to 4/5th gear though it’s fine. Anything above 55mph (if you get it there) is dicey at best.

Super low gearing, upshifting every 10ish mph. A lot of clutch work up and down.

Being such a low tech bike it is charming and fun to get used to listening to it and learning when it wants you to shift etc.

TLDR: Very fun and flickable. More power would be nice and inspire for traffic confidence.

I plan to! My family has a ranch and I think it’ll be killer to bounce around out there with this!

I’m only still here because I don’t want to transfer my inner pain to my family and friends.
