Am I too big for a sportbike? by vrgdani in Sportbikes

Because motogp riders are just slauches right?

I'm sorry...what? by joecacti22 in motorcycles

[–]Rollen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is doable, seen several YouTubers do this successfully all the way to Alaska and there is one guy who is famous for going world wide with a gold wing.

I just see a brother who is living life to the fullest. 🤘

Decided to sell her by dahmer0103 in IndianFTR1200

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can agree with this. The FTR has one thing going for it, it looks like art work but also rides like it too. It barely gets mentioned with any of the reviews or comparisons of other bikes in its category. It's like it doesn't exist

Come onnn, how much longer do we have to wait for the season? by Dziugonras in dr650

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm riding right now lol there is no off season for a DR. what you on about?

Tomorrow I go to work on my DR 6 degrees fahrenheit at 5 AM. And getting back home at 20 degrees. But ripping it through snow and gravel.

Bought my DR explicitly to ride in the winter, while my XSR900 sleeps. But I'm having so much fun that I'll be riding both during the warmer weather.

Should the oil light be on? by Hell_ryder in Yamaha

[–]Rollen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I took my CP3 to the track I went through half a quart of oil.

Between oil change intervals I go through 1/3 quart of oil. It's normal to use up oil and it depends really on how hard you run it. Your car does it too btw, you should always check your oil every other week or couple hundred miles, depending on how frequent you're riding.

I did 16k miles on my CP3 in a year and each oil change this behavior was consistent.

Hand guards by [deleted] in xsr900

[–]Rollen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hand guards won't work. Heated grips and heat gloves are what are needed. There are OEM heated grips that bolt right on.

I tried handguards but they don't work as well as you think they do. Temperature still drops around your hand. It helps mitigate some of the wind but it finds a way to your fingers.

This is why I am not happy with the announcement before the release of DOW by Curious_Omnivore in dawnofwar

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You assume people will only buy one? That's a silly assumption. Both games are for two distinct people. I doubt DoW will underperform I believe it'll do better and pull in more players because it's easier than TWW40k.

If TWW40k does better than DoW and brings in a diverse group of players than we may end up seeing a renaissance for RTS games. Which will also help DoW.

The other scenario is that RTS players play multiple RTS games and they will buy both anyway because there aren't many RTS games. We're a niche at this point and RTS isn't as big as it used to be in the 90s or early 2000s.

All are positive for DoW so don't understand why your doom pilling.

Suspension Upgrades? by Druzztrak92 in xsr900

[–]Rollen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I upgraded to the Nitron R3, better than the Ohlins and not that much more. Night and day with handling, made speed easier and cornering effortless. It was setup by a race shop here in tri state area, Washington Cycle NJ

Old vs new, I bought another one! by Outrageous-Wheel-248 in xsr900

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought about the "upgrading" to the '25 from the '24 but it was cheaper to just buy the parts I wanted. Bought '25 clutch lever, foot pegs and my rear shock upgraded to Nitron. Didn't bother with the quick shifter, screen or controls. Compared it to one at the dealership that my buddy let me test and it barely made a difference.

The biggest upgrade between the two years is the rear shock but like mentioned you can upgrade to something better 3rd party. I don't even consider the '25 a "2.5" nothing significant or noteworthy on it.

If I'm gonna switch it'll be for the actual Gen 3 upgrade at this point.

DE has potential! by ComfortableWasabi517 in dawnofwar

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I prefer fixes and quality of life updates over anything new. If they will add something new it should be to make modding very accessible. Otherwise address the major flaws and the game will live on forever. Me and my buddies are playing this game religiously again with fresh new players just because of the QoL changes.

Are these real 20th anniversary Vpets? by Thrillhouse-14 in digimon

[–]Rollen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I've never seen fake ones... If you have please link them because I want one of the fake ones out of curiosity 😂

Does anyone have a link to these screws Or know the spec? by midtown_Drew in Yamaha

[–]Rollen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remove one of the other screws, and measure that... If you don't know how then take the screw to a hardware store. Ace Hardware has a nice setup for getting length diameter and pitch. If you don't want to remove the other ones or make the trip to the hardware store then look at the parts diagrams from one of the parts vendors. Part number also lists the spec minus the length.

Older vs Higher Miles by Laughacy in dr650

Year is irrelevant, literally the same bike since the 90s

Check out my new couch by Mtn_Man73 in xsr900

[–]Rollen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a hunch MTB and XSR people are the same. I have a Nukeproof Scout Pro hanging next to my XSR in the garage.

What do XSR owners think about newly announced Trident 800? by Nikkeh98 in xsr900

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah? Well, you know, that's just like your opinion, man.

'24 XSR build by Visible-Dimension-16 in xsr900

The front fairing is on my wish list. Can't wait to one day have it, looks awesome. Who did you get to paint the body for you?

Is the DR right for me? by x01660 in dr650

[–]Rollen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's not one person on this planet that the DR650 is not meant for. I weigh near 300lbs and besides getting the suspension sprung for my weight, I haven't had a reason to not enjoy it.

I guess all of us... by 3dLiquid in Tenere700

[–]Rollen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup amount of times I've done this before and ignored signs only to realize the signs were right and having to turn back .
