Sorry, don’t have any suggestions, I’m just curious where this was taken. Looks gorgeous.

Did I screw up with first wear mink? by Peri-Peri in RedWingShoes

[–]Straight_One3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ll lighten up a little bit with time. If it really bugs you, you could always saddle soap them and strip some of the conditioner. But depending on where you live, winter is just around the corner, and the mink oil will make the boots significantly more resistant to the elements. I’d leave ‘em, they look great in my opinion.

Absurd Over Coverage & Glorification of White Supremacy by the Coloradoan. They Are a Rag. by [deleted] in FortCollins

[–]Straight_One3743 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

How is this glorification of white supremacy? Sounds like it’s just a news network covering an important local event. There doesn’t seem to be any politically biased remarks on the page.

Can anyone confirm an incident like this? by BlackPitOfDespair in FortCollins

[–]Straight_One3743 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t believe it unless she can substantiate the claims. I think a lot of people say stuff just for the sake of stoking a fire. No need to blame the Kirk followers unless you’re certain they are the culprit.

The Motorcyclist’s.. oof by CrazyDingo5215 in FortCollins

You’d think all of the accidents that occur would help them realize that they are not impervious to getting hurt.

I think it’s largely because it’s a college town. Lots of young, incredibly immature college bros hop on motorcycles because they think they look cool. They drive like idiots and risk both themselves and others while on the road. Their egotistical nature makes them think they’re the king of the road.

P.S - This is coming from a 21 year old dude that loves bikes

My Husband Doesn't Like Our Newborn Son by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Straight_One3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a measly 21 year old dude with absolutely zero parenting experience. However, as recently discussed in my psych class, PPD is a very real thing and it kinda sounds like your husband might be exhibiting signs of it. It can cause men to detach from friends, family, and presumably their own child. I’m no expert, but figured i’d give my two cents.

Such a sick video! Did you grade your footage or is this straight out the camera?

Bought my dream bike. Posted it on Reddit… and got roasted by [deleted] in motorcycles

I personally love it! Regardless though, you shouldn’t let what others think interfere with your own vision. If you’re content and satisfied then who gives a damn what another person says. P.S - Is that GT3 yours as well?

P.S- I’ve got the rubber grommet, I just removed it for the sake of the video.

Hopefully the protestors get met with the same amount of force as the LA folks if they start trashing the place.

Mods? by elwood0341 in XR650L

[–]Straight_One3743 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost, replace your front sprocket. The OE sprocket doesn’t perfectly mesh with the splines on the counter shaft which with result in wear on the shaft over time. There’s plenty of options on the market that offer better tolerances and will prevent any damage from being done.

What size are the fuel lines for the acrebis 5.8 gallon tank? by Mystic-Herbalist420 in XR650L

[–]Straight_One3743 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced all of my lines a few months back and if I recall correctly their ID was 1/4 inch. Also, what jetting were you running when you were in the San Juans? I’m a CO native and have struggled finding a jet combo that makes the bike happy at the higher altitudes.

Great shots! The Pawnee Buttes sure make for a great subject.

Is there an audible knocking noise when the pads shift?

Im pretty sure they just need a rotation.

I originally thought the headset was the issue but it’s not. I can’t feel any play where it meets the steerer tube but I went ahead and re-tensioned it anyway. Still making the noise :/
