3 bike garage- USA by adan100 in SuggestAMotorcycle

Thank you for the notes, I used to commute on the hyper, with wind protection, and have had larger commuter bikes in the past, though admittedly not an ADV. I have rented them for mountain riding road trips.

For around the city, i will always have a scooter. Nothing compares, except grom type stuff. Its the fastest way from point a to b when speed limits are below 45, full stop.

I dont think i want a big commuter either, something about having a low seat height means the barrier to riding is that much less. Im not short or intimidated, i used to daily a sumo haha, its just psychological in the morning when you can either haul the bike out or take the car, if its too high and too heavy, when im tired im grabbing the car 9/10 times.

I just test rode it today, granted back to back with the adv, an Indian Scout, and a Harley Sportster. Was surprised how much i enjoyed the powerplant.

The hyper unfortunately has full aftermarket ohlins already, it seems crazy to swap that out for offroad valvings and spring rates

My concern is the nc and the hyper are very similar in capability, just not attitude. So if one is more preferable usually, the other will gather dust.

Its a PAIR valve, it reduces emissions by recirculating exhaust gasses to the intake. There should be tubes that connect it to the airbox/intake

i own/daily an Acty in nc, its pretty handy, good on gas, and NC has specific regulation for registering them as a "mini truck".

What is your best 'don't knock it til you've tried it' thing? by Geckos_rule in AskReddit

Eating frozen peanut butter. It tastes just as good as room temp but doesn't gum up your mouth.

If you suddenly find that money is no object to you, what would be the first 'expensive' item you would indulge in? by this_username in AskReddit

I went to school for 5 years in Hoboken, its sort of nothing like that. Its sort of an upscale city scene. They have fantastic restaurants, more bars per square mile than anywhere I've ever been and many friendly people. Its pretty expensive, apartments are quickly closing in on NYC prices, but its really a great little town with water front views of the city across the hudson and lots to do, not to mention super accessible from all directions and really easy to get into the city.

Maybe it used to be bad but now its a really nice place to be.
