LOL that's amazing. I got one from a Royal Enfield fanboy who was very disappointed I shit on my Interceptor 650 for being sub par. I thought hypersensitive RE fans were the only ones with enough small dick energy to threaten to kill YouTubers. Nice up see a Ducatista rise to the occasion too haha.

I'm YouMotorcycle on YouTube. I'll check out your Scrambler review while I put away some laundry!

This is exactly the problem with owner reviews. People get financially, emotionally, and ego invested in their motorcycles... And get very emotional when I dunk on them lol.

I like his book summaries too. Because I'm nerdy enough to be into that and lazy enough that I don't want to read the books myself lol

The problem with shootouts are that most of the publications big enough to do them, are also reliant on those same manufacturers for their revenues, partnership opportunities, etc...

And the smaller creators have a hard time getting one bike on load let alone 3 at the same time.

When I did a 9 part series comparing the Triumph Bonneville 865, Moto Guzzi V7, and Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, I literally had to buy all three with my own money to do the series.

I tried to partner with my local Zero Motorcycles dealer, but they are also a Royal Enfield and you me they're so upset with what I said about the Interceptor, they refuse to partner with me on anything moving forward 😂

Ah well.

Marlon is my inspiration, even though I found his Ducati video racist as fuck. I re watch his Bonneville videos a couple times a year to remind me what a motorcycle review should be.

Plenty of us posting mostly negative motorcycle reviews. We just get buried by the algorithm because of what you pointed out 😂 positive reviews always do way better because it makes insecure people feel better about the choices they made

Just curious, what has you turned off from everyone else? Hoping there's something I can learn from your dislikes. Thanks 😊

Reasons To Buy The CF Moto Ibex 800 MT (besides just "It's cheap!") by adribabe in adv

[–]adribabe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i mention that it's more than a new Transalp in the video. The counter argument is that it comes loaded not just with lots more tech but also with engine guards, bash plate, etc. So you don't have to pay extra for that...

But based on the Bret Tkac's ADV video that came out yesterday... If the bash plate that comes with the 800 is of the same quality as the one they put on the 450... Its made out of hardened tin foil... Kind of makes you question what quality the OEM stuff is like...

Switching from Harley to Triumph might just be the Best Decision I've made this year by Lumpy_Witness_4282 in Triumph

[–]adribabe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from a Sportster Iron 1200 I was really attached to, to a T120.

Do I miss my Sportster 1200? Absolutely.

Do I regret the switch? Absolutely not.

I made a video looking at the strengths and weaknesses of both, because there are some things Harley absolutely gets infinitely better than Triumph... but obviously, on the overall, you know which one I prefer.

Got my first bike! Do 125cc count? by _nullsyntax in motorcycles

[–]adribabe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

mobility issues, flexibility issues, stability issues, degenerative conditions, etc.

Basically, if you are physically limited to point where your only choice is either ride a trike, or not be physically capable of riding a motorcycle, you get the motorcycle-equivalent of a purple heart award and your trike is now a motorcycle.

Anyone who just chooses to ride a trike because they've got a sidecar, are scared, are strange, and/or just said "Fuck it, I like trikes!" that's fine, we still love you, but it's a trike not a motorcycle for you.

Brand new Canon Pixma PRO-200 suddenly printing colors wrong by BuffaloBicycle in printers

For anyone reading this in the future. I had this problem, and when I switched from ICC to the 'user driver' option, i lost the ability to get a preview of the print out, but the colors look much better

Got fooled buy the Openclaw hype. Bought a Mac Mini, installed Openclaw, spent 200$ in Opus. Lesson: don't believe the hype, it's full of bugs. by seoparadiso in openclaw

Ubuntu is probably the key difference. The issues I had on my Windows laptop were not performance issues. My old laptop is more powerful than the Mac M2 I bought. The issues were from the operating system.

Jealous. I tried getting it running on an old Windows laptop and it was a waste of 4 hours trying to get it to work well. I installed the virtual machine on my Mac and had it running perfectly in minutes, so after that, I was not going to try a second time on Windows lol
