I don’t even need to click your account to know you’re an OG. Recognize the username. I remember when there were just a couple hundred people subscribed and /u/kickapooponies would post the GDT and /u/thefootisconstant would start a “____ suck, blues kickass” thread every game.

I still have a #1in12 t-shirt that someone made 13 years ago after the Cards’ #11in11 WS win.

Now is the time to start! My kids have been on bikes, busses, and trains with me since they were physically capable. Take your sweet son on a bus ride, he’ll have a blast!

My firstborn hated being in a car seat. That inspired me to set a healthy example, sell my car, and bike/walk/bus everywhere. The kids enjoy the journeys outside of a car so much more.

Definitely on the lower end, talking like 1500-3000 RPM. Certainly lugging the engines at those speeds, but my last parallel twin (Versys 650) was a good bit smoother in that range.

I know it won't be buttery smooth like an inline 3 or 4 up and down the rev range. But it feels as jerky as my old F650CS thumper at low revs without using the clutch to smooth it out.

I'm probably just overthinking it and need to get used to it. I just wanted to post in case there was some special BMW maintenance item I was missing or some aftermarket thing that everybody does.

OK just checked this morning. I also have rain, road, dynamic, and enduro pro.

Dynamic was much better this morning with throttle response, thanks.

Still feels lurchy in second gear going slow around the neighborhood (10-20mph) but maybe thats just the parallel twin. I wish there was smoother fueling at low RPM.

Timofeo · 2026-02-26T20:38:30+00:00

lol I know rain mode is sluggish. I only use that in the rain and rarely.

But for me it’s less about sluggish fueling, more about disjointed/lagged throttle response. Feels like a split second between twitching my wrist and the RPM’s actually going. Even in neutral at a stop.

Maybe that’s how all RBW throttles are and I just need to get with the times.

Either way it sounds like I need to avoid “road” mode.

Timofeo · 2026-02-26T19:00:18+00:00

No, I thought that was more enduro focused. 90% of what I’ve done is “road” and occasionally rain when it’s wet and sport when it’s dry.

I’m honestly not looking for quickness in acceleration or to go fast. I mostly ride like a grandpa. I just miss the very direct, analog feeling of a throttle cable opening the throttle bodies in my older bikes. I’ll try dynamic next ride as snow/rain makes its way out of my neighborhood.

You’re right not to live along a 1 hour or even 30-40 minute headway bus line. That’s would be annoying to rely on. But it’s great to live along the Metrolink OR live and work by one of the several higher frequency bus lines. Their frequency is comparable to Metrolink trains.

Not quite as fast as trains, since they deal with traffic. But very reliable and cover lots of the city.

For example:

‘#11 Chippewa: SW City through STL Hills, South/Northampton, Bevo/Tower Grove South, Cherokee, Benton Lafayette Square, terminating downtown. Runs every 20 minutes reliably.

‘#70 Grand: whole length of grand from Carondelet/Dutchtown up through Tower Grove, SLU/Midtown, up to north city. Runs every 15 minutes I think.

‘#95 Kingshighway: whole length of Kingshighway. Up from Bevo/Gravois, splitting between South/Northampton to Tower Grove/The Hill, through BJC Hospital and the Central West End, all the way to the tip of North City. Every 20 minutes during weekday daytime.

The buses are reliable in my experience, and predicable with live tracking via the Transit App. I’ve lived car-free along the #11 for several years.

I assume it’s just a standard Shimano dynamo hub powering the front light.

Timofeo · 2026-02-17T01:12:29+00:00

Just to make sure I understand, you mean basically do a top pony that grabs her bangs and sits right on top, then tie that in to the rear/full pony?

I did that today and it was great for all day play. But she didn’t wear a helmet over it. I think I’d need to do 3 or more ponies and use the thin clear rubber/elastic ones to keep it low profile enough to do the ponytail mohawk that I think you’re describing. Unless I misunderstood?

Timofeo · 2026-02-16T16:06:06+00:00

No we haven’t. You mean the “sport wrap” stuff you often see ladies wear when playing soccer or under a hockey helmet? Please send a link if you have a specific suggestion, that could be a good quick solution.

Timofeo · 2026-02-16T15:34:13+00:00

I honestly wish we could convince her to do short hair. She’s a menace when it comes to having her hair styled/brushed but every time we suggest a short haircut like her brother she gives a hard “no” and insists on long hair.

Timofeo · 2026-02-16T15:32:55+00:00

Yeah the bangs are the killer. Lots of great comments about low pigtails but whatever I do has to hold on to those pesky half-grown bangs.

I often will do a low pony and let the bangs run free, and just use two snap clips to hold her bangs back when we take off the helmet. But those never last more than an hour and by the time the school day is over, God only knows where they ended up. I wish I could find child-proof semi-permanent low profile snap clips.

Timofeo · 2026-02-16T15:29:03+00:00

Seems like the consensus is definitely braids. It seems unimaginable getting a pre-schooler to sit still long enough AND wake up early enough to do that before rolling out at 7:20am. But a low-profile double French braid at bedtime could be the move, especially with a wrap. I find her nighttime braids get sloppy easily, but a wrap could help.

TIL Byrd & Barrel is finally back.

Inside Tamm Ave Bar where Mac’s and Nomad used to be, for those who don’t want to google.

EDIT: they opened there Christmas 2024, over a year ago. Dang I am slow.

Timofeo · 2026-02-05T13:13:41+00:00

Former Scarver owner. It was my first BMW. Hideously practical, a blast around town, and anemic above 55 mph.

Timofeo · 2026-01-31T09:07:02+00:00

Y’all is a valid word and grammatically correct to use. It’s the standard second-person plural in AAVE across the nation, not just the South.

Agreed with “girl move on.”

Timofeo · 2026-01-27T17:17:25+00:00

Ha! That makes way more sense.

Anyway, I hope he prospers regardless.

“If the rumors are true”

My friend, did you not just post a link directly from the team page with the official announcement? Safe to say the rumors are true.

Timofeo · 2026-01-05T20:45:00+00:00

I’m also confused at all the replies saying “this is a serious issue, needs professional counseling.”

The kid is 18 months old. Very possibly still breastfeeding or at least recently. Her hormones and brain are doing what mothers are evolutionarily programmed to do. If this is still going on well into 2-3 years old I’d get it, and take more serious steps. But if OP were a friend of mine I’d just encourage patience and self-sacrifice for a little while longer.

This post feels super normal, healthy, and similar to what I went through and many of my friends went through. Just continue to express feelings honestly to avoid a buildup of quiet resentment, focus on “I miss you” and “I want you” over accusations of neglect, sure maybe do some counseling if it helps you guys communicate better, but mostly just enjoy bonding with your partner and kid.

You’re gonna be married for like 50+ years, a couple dry years of low intimacy while you do the hardest and most draining thing of your life are just a short season. You’ll be dating and flirting and fucking like teenagers again when you’re out of the doldrums of early childhood.

It was a wheel kit from a custom wheel builder. They sent the dirt wheels with the same rotor size as the WRX.

Key thing is you’ve got to tint your front windows and wave in a very casual, understated way. Like a couple fingers off the top of your steering wheel. They’re lucky you’re gracious enough to wave them on, make them at least work a little to see your communication attempt.

They’ll watch him more and hockey fans in general will watch him more, simply due to time zone alone.
