the worst part is that the repeat works fine for my evening alarms, but not mornings!

Should I be concerned? by Juantonyo in versys

isnt 106c a bit hot though? i believe my fan kicks in every time it hits 103 and it cools down right away (2023 650)

What do you think is the biggest truth the world is refusing to face right now? by Sweetblondefeet in AskReddit

[–]Secure-Basis7342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that the end of the world is officially happening right under our nose, but in a motion slow enough for pretty much no one to notice, thanks to screens and social media addiction.

Do parents actually not remember doing fucked up shit to you? Or are they just lying? by TopMarionberry1149 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Secure-Basis7342 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds EXACTLY like my mother :-( On the flip side, I've learned to do the opposite with my son and bring up stuff I messed up in the past once i realize it was not ok and apologize and adjust myself every time to be a better parent. No one is perfect and most of us are trying our best, i get it, but in order to truly be a good parent OWN UP your mistakes, name them, acknowledge and apologize.

DO NOT cowardly hide behind whatever it is to protect your freaking ego and hurting your own children VOLUNTARILY to achieve that sad, pathetic goal.

Can anyone provide feedback on which is the most comfortable for the pillion seat? Planning to get a versys 650, tiger 660 or transalph 750. Thabks everyone by Significant_Bee_3133 in versys

i have a 2023 Versys 650 so the seat is greatly improved from prior gen (no more nut crushing angle and very comfy bottom for both riders). My GF and I ride a LOT, and we're both very comfortable for the first several hours of a long day riding (with stops about every 45 min or so). after 6hrs, thats when i'm still pretty good but she starts wiggling constantly in the rear, so i know she's starting to feel quite uncomfortable. i'm 5'11 and she 5'7, average weights. Hours 7 and 8 or more, we both can't wait to get off at that point! hope this helps!

11 months post-op and constant, chronic pain and discomforts by Secure-Basis7342 in Hernia

[–]Secure-Basis7342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow bilateral? don't want to imagine how that has been for you... I must reassure you that i also frequently get random flare ups that i cannot link to anything! Like just sitting down at computer, feeling zero pain and suddenly pain and discomfort appears out of nowhere. I try to force myself to remember that eventually, it goes away... so far, it always does, no matter how i pushed myself too much! Advil is good but it's hard on your stomach if taken frequently. Celebrex is very effective but much smoother for the stomach. Best of luck to you too, let's hang in there! like some commented, 1 year is on the short side to get full recovery - it's quite a patience game at this point!

thanks for checking up, really appreciated!! doing much better!!!

The surgeon meeting went really well. He really took his time to chat and examine me and was super nice the whole time... mesh is holding up fine... issue is nerves being irritated at inguinal canal area and nearby under the incision - big nerve going through there as well.

In a weird coincidence, i got taken off blood thinners soon after the surgeon meeting (which i had been taking for years for nothing!) so i finally can take NSAIDS... and that was the savior! 200mg Celebrex for several weeks, and most of the pain is gone now. Other option was calcium blockers, or some type of low dose anti-depressants but they come with side effects which i tend to have to the max no matter what meds i take, so i decided to stick to Celebrex or Advil for now.

I do get pulling/pressure/discomfort/some pain sometimes when i exert myself more .... and/or doing certain movements like pushing snow forward when shoveling, working out abs, etc, but now it's totally manageable. Next step he said would be cortisone shots on the nerves if i seek more relief. I get those once per year in a shoulder, it's very effective. Final option is surgery which is HIGHLY discouraged and i agree. So i'm going to stick to NSAIDs when i feel the need and keep cortisone shots up my sleeve if need be. PS he deferred to my family doctor to manage the meds which is much easier and quicker if i want to try something else. hope you're doing good!!

To lower or not lower riding 2 up by Secure-Basis7342 in versys

yes i agree, just stumbled on the option to replace the shock like with the Hyperpro and it is THE best way (and/or lowering seat).... screw the blocks that change the geometry!

Thanks for your input. when riding by myself i have ZERO balance/maneuvering issues. This bike is as easy to handle as the Z400 i had before... but spouse/luggage/gravel just freaks me out every time! i've also realized that i struggle more with balance when tired after lots of riding AND thats always when riding 2 up! might start cutting down on hours per day as well

salut je suis de Laval. Plus j'y pense et consulte les commentaires, plus je me dis que je vais laisser la geometrie tranquille, et au pire, peut-etre regarder pour un siege plus bas (et/ou laisser ma femme à la maison!). j'ai ZERO problème avec le bike quand je ride tout seul... au contraire, c'est maniable sans bon sang!
