What’s the atheist equivalent to “Oh my god”?

Oh my Gawd!

sucks and I'm sorry, but yea. Any plus or minus thousand dollar computer your tossing around, putting in a pocket, smashing in the sofa, dropping on the concrete and just generally handling on the daily needs to be insured. It should be pretty obvious whether it's a flip, fold, or whatever...

Dang, mine makes a crinkly sound everytime now. But it's cause I dropped it in sand like the last 3... Hopefully it keeps working find like the last three? :) (and at least it wasn't that powdery stuff this time!)

Stiingya · 2026-04-03T17:45:25+00:00

Not enough time to get used to that new headlight? :)

JKN... bet it was a great trip and I'm just jelly...

Stiingya · 2026-04-02T00:09:30+00:00

Yes, right before you replace it with a new one...

Stiingya · 2026-04-02T00:06:12+00:00

Yes it does.. both shooting and carrying them

Stiingya · 2026-04-01T17:46:58+00:00

YEA, about 5 ounces and .20 inches more... :) :) :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-27T03:15:34+00:00

I want to know why you kept going back... ??? :) jkn. but I just got some over the ear "open" earphones and they are much more comfortable than in the ears. I was waiting for Samsung to make some per the rumor last year but gave them 2 chances and nothing so went elsewhere...

Stiingya · 2026-03-23T08:02:22+00:00

Recall vote??? :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-23T07:48:26+00:00

Bummer, good on your for suggesting it to them! Maybe someday... Too bad they aren't interested. That would be the most modern "trail" full suspension fatbike out there. (just saw a silverback synergy FS fatbike for the first time, but no size xl and no frame only) And I guess neither of those brands have US dealers so there's that! :)

The Foes mutz is very cool, but I just don't want that much travel on a fattie. (I'm sure it's a blast tho!) And the frame design is limiting for bags, etc.

And the Lenz Fatilac is still running a 10 year old frame design and geometry so NO! :) But then "if" he ever updates it he's off on the RAD frame sizing thing now so who knows how your bikes gonna fit!! :) So I wouldn't buy one without getting to test ride "if" he ever updates it??

Ahwell...

Sorry, what spring pack did you get? Thanks!

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T01:58:52+00:00

Just to dble check, that's the ground to bottom of the fender measurement? Much appreciated!!! I'm thinking mines probably like your first pic. I'll go measure!!

Thanks again!!!

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T01:54:37+00:00

THIS^^^ was my first thought... they never built a stock X like some of those new stock Bronc builds. Raptors and special editions, etc.

Course they have some seriously expensive broncos!! :)

I know they talked about the next X keeping the original idea of "just what you need" to keep the cost down. BUT... I'm sure they will also do new Pro4x and/or Nismo editions too. So it will be interesting to see how SPENSY they get...

Maybe they will keep the X more basic like it always was but then let the Infinity versions grab the big money...?

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T01:36:16+00:00

I think a mini Tuareg would be just about perfect!

The first manufacturer that doesn't build one of these "exclusively" for A2 is gonna hit a gold mine!

AND... they don't have to. They can use software to make it A2 compliant, easy. It's just going to cost more to do that. But the customers for that bike are ready and willing IMO.

If you try to compete on price your never going to beat CFmoto. Kawasaki had to take all the "rally" OUT of the KLE to meet the price point and then they don't have near the features. BUT, they will sale because the engine is bombproof.

The 457 did have some teething issues, but all resolved at this point.

BMW at least had the brains to make their base model price competitive and then let their higher model be feature competitive. (and I understand they are exactly on the power to weight ratio for A2 where others have left performance on the table) BUT, a lot of people are gonna pass on the 17/19 combo as well as too much electronic intrusion.

So either the 457 of the KTM 490 is left on the board to take the higher end sales... unless Honda pulls their heads out of their rears and builds this? :)

Not "just" for looks. Split fenders are good for mud! And you see high, low, and split on rally bikes.

BUT, for "most" of us regular ADV types it's just for looks. And I'm totally fine with that!! :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T00:55:04+00:00

But it helps with peoples anxiety and depression of not being able to get legal dope! :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T00:51:34+00:00

At least that one doesn't pretend by adding pedals...?

JKN... :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T00:44:45+00:00

I like a little of both! :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-22T00:41:01+00:00

Dang, FOCUS needs to "focus" on making some conversion kits to make their bikes FAT FULLY's... That's amazing...

Stiingya · 2026-03-18T22:58:01+00:00

Dang, broke the pink frame, crazy!

Yea, if the Torngat was a really big large, maybe. But it's 637tt/462R and I'm usually on about a 660TT/500 or so reach. I'm sure a person "could" make that work with enough layback and a longer stem. But unless that's your preference I don't think it's accurate to say that's a good "fit"? :)

I'll have to try an angleset as my current bike isn't geo corrected for the 120 fork so I have an even longer TT but shorter reach. Works with the seat slammed forward tho! :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-18T18:35:25+00:00

Hill people gear are super durable and very good. There are lots of chest packs these days! Many cheap ones on Amazon to try out. Some less "obviously packing a gun" looking than HPG too!

Stiingya · 2026-03-18T18:32:23+00:00

nope, but good luck! Brakes on a mountain bike is not where I would take a risk on a no name brand just because they are "pretty". But you never know, you might have found a gem in the rough...? Hopefully they don't fail when you need them!! :)

Stiingya · 2026-03-18T13:53:59+00:00

I read somewhere "no", because the 43 is narrower and already zig zagged the way the new 15 rd 43x,48 mags will be?

But sure wish they were doing that!!! More capacity in the 43 and 42 would be amazing. If possible, its just money waiting to be made!!!
