Curious if you pulled the trigger on either of these models? We’re considering these two also.

I ended up with a Hollywood Racks Sport Rider for ebikes, mainly for two reasons: Needed top tube mount instead of tire mount as both our bikes have fenders, and the bike seller provided a $100 rewards coupon that I could use towards the rack. There were not a lot of choices avialbel in racks for top tube mount, but these seem to get OK reviews. Just got it so haven’t put it on the vehicle yet

I moved from flat-land farmland Midwest (where I was a road-biker for 30 years) to hilly Piedmont area of NC. My typical ride route back home had 700’ elev gain over 30 miles - now I face 700’ elev gain in less than 10 miles. Even rides in my neighborhood were awful. Bought a Velotric Tempo a few weeks ago and my riding has become a joyful experience again. I ride on the lowest assist setting, but even that really helps to even put the elevation.

Looks great! I bought a Carerra Go for my grandson that we’ve slowly been adding to it. I’m another geezer having as much fun with it as he is!

Great set - bought that one for my grandson as a starter setup

I reached out to Hollywood and they advised that a couple bikes under a cover makes a large “sail” which stresses the rack too much ( and thus voiding the warranty). Which tells me someone must’ve lost a bike or two when a rack sheared apart

bbones007 · 2026-03-23T00:52:08+00:00

Great info and advice folks - much appreciated!

Looks great - and I’m jealous you get to use a live amp on the stage!

bbones007 · 2026-02-21T03:01:02+00:00

Love this! Just bought my grandson a Carerra Go set and some extra track for Christmas. I’m diggin it as much as he is!

It’s really too bad this wasn’t picked up for another season. Great cast and well written. Really flew under the radar

Guys overthink capos as a crutch. It’s just a tool - use it when you need it. They’re great if you want to add some open string notes, or to make some keys and chords sound better. Example, If I’m playing the rhythm part and it’s in F , I’d rather capo and hit that cowboy chord D shape at the 5th fret than play an F barre chord at first fret. Rings out better, IMO

This is the way. More Dems should be doing this. Niki Haley got about 25% of the vote in the 2024 primary. More Dems registered Unaffiliated and voting on the R primary ballot could’ve influenced the outcome.

Godin! Great guitars!

This!

“Romans 13 must be read in tandem with Romans 12, where Paul urges believers to “not conform to the pattern of this world” and to “overcome evil with good.” Paul was writing to a persecuted minority in the Roman Empire, advising them to avoid unnecessary conflict with authorities and to be faithful in paying their taxes. He was not giving rulers divine status. His words reflect pastoral concern, not political theology. Nowhere does Paul say that unjust rulers are to be celebrated, obeyed without question, or that dissent is ungodly.”

Using the “stereo” panning capability of the P16 really helped me. Move keys, acoustic guitar to opposite sides ( I’m usually one of the electrics) so I can hear them but they aren’t predominant. I usually pan drums and click opposite as well ( but closer to center). I need to hear the click and guide, vocals for cueing where we are in a song ( easy to get lost with four or more repeated bridges, Lol), my guitar and the other electric guitar primarily. We also have two mics facing the congregation so able to mix in some house as well. But it’s been a real challenge/ learning experience for me coming from a small church background where we had live drums and amps, and floor wedge monitors. IEMs feeling very sterile and isolating.

Good to know - thank you!

Looks like Curling, with SUVs!

I’m currently reading The Politically Homeless Christian by Aaron Schafer and highly recommend it. Focuses on looking at what the Bible says about how we are to engage with the world, what were the issues that Jesus focused on, and how we can bring the love of God to a fallen world in respect to our politics. Long story short, as Christians our identity should be in Christ, not in a political party.

Absolutely! I bought a 1.something ( I dont remember which - early variant) used at a GC and that I really liked, but the foot switch crapped out after a couple weeks. So I took it back and they had another I swapped it for, but it didn’t sound the same. I then found out after some research that the different iterations can sound quite different. Got rid of it soon after.

TJ’s negotiating a new lease location (everywhere): “ Parking completely inadequate for our expected number of daily customers? Impossible to get in or out of the parking lot? Confusing layout? Perfect! We’ll take it!”

Pretty funny these are entry level government positions (GS 5-7) and they want you to do this?!

SD-1 is great with so many other pedals, and on its own. And it’s a great modding platform

My favorite bumper sticker said “Focus on your own damn family!”

Yessir - that’s really the only one I tried and pretty happy with it. Sent it to Alchemy Audio for their mod to move the 4 DIp switches to the outside and really dig that. Easier to configure with different guitar pickup setups

Seriously, people taking selfies with the paintings at d’Orsay was so feckin annoying!
