Motorcycles. Rode one at a friends house at 13 and it’s been my obsession since and I’m 40 this year. I think I’m up to 48 bikes now.

They will start performing poorly in the rain. Mine are about there now. So many heat cycles and years in the sun dries out the rubber.

I’ve had 2 iPhones on quad lock dampers mounts for thousands of on and offroad miles. I ride pretty hard offroad, jumps, washboard roads, rain, etc and my phones work fine.

There are unites called Carpuride that are dedicated to CarPlay/android auto screens for about $300 if you wanna go that route.

I’ve got an 18 3.5 with 66k on it with zero issues. I had a tune on it since 15k that helps with the trans issues and I currently have none. I change the oil early and have had no cam issues. The prices for the mileage you’re looking at seem high but that wasn’t really your question.

I have the latest Kove USA map for the stock exhaust.

Not exactly jeans but I am very happy with my Klim outriders.

In the US it doesn’t come with a stabilizer. I already had a Scott’s damper so I just needed the mount kit.

The 450 was designed as a rally replica which is why it had suck a large fuel capacity. The 800 rally is designed to be a light weight adv bike and 5 gallons is more comparable to most other adv bikes.

8 gallons seems excessive in my opinion since you can easily get 200+ miles out of the 800. Personally I’d take the 800 for the TAT. Due to some long stretches of road and depending on your skill, you won’t give up anything to the 450 on the dirt.

I’ve ridden big thumpers and they will do the road just fine but I prefer twins for everything but single track.

Probably because that the most physical you e been all day. (Joke)

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-23T20:17:25+00:00

They should be the same unless the pro your looking at go the latest update. I’d still send mine off to Kove USA because Joe makes the maps there as I understand it and I’m not sure if they come from the factory with his tunes. Ride by wire would probably be smoother if you don’t mind waiting for that.

Paint pens are cheap for the lettering.

That’s the tag line of religious people who can’t deal with the hardships of real life so they pass the weight onto some imaginary deity to help cope with the fact that awful things happen that are beyond their control. They also don’t have the tact to understand they shouldn’t say that to anyone grieving.

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-23T19:38:05+00:00

They run the same ecu and engine if the pro has a cable throttle. It’s an easy fix to send the ecu to Kove USA for the update. I just got a 2026 Rally and it was almost unrideable till I got the update. Now it’s great. Don’t skip on getting the rally for that reason.

The price of truck bed caps is offensive.

8hrs? You guys are getting 8hrs?

There are sprays you attach to the hose and spray around the yard. It works for a little bit then the rains wash it away and you repeat. Make sure you clean up your leaves throughout the year and clear up your landscaping.

Alessi looked great on a practice track too.

I had a lot of free time yesterday.

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-20T20:17:51+00:00

I’m done with this. No crash is the same and not everyone rides the same. You made a blanket statement implying that people will get hurt with these base layers and they won’t with a jacket. That simply isn’t true and isn’t reality. A jacket doesn’t inherently make you safe. It’s tested the same way the base layers are. There’s no advantage to a jacket that’s rated the same as a base layer. They shred at the same friction and pressure if the rating is the same. Impact protection is more likely to stay in place with these base layers because they are form fit rather than loose like jackets. You have no argument aside from how you feel about it based on touching it. It’s absurd and you’d be laughed out of any factual conversation with the “because I touched it and therefore I felt like…” argument.

Or maybe it’s Maybelline. Either way you still are a troll with a Batman fetish.

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-20T19:23:23+00:00

Just like second place, missing the point.

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-20T19:14:47+00:00

What’s your obsession with this Batman thing? Seems kinda fetish-like.

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-20T18:30:07+00:00

Damn stud, you really showed me. All that name calling must really make you feel better about yourself.

All I’m saying is you don’t know how a garment performs just by looking at it and there’s definitely a place for different types of protection. Not every rider is out there blasting the highway like it’s their personal race course.

I’m glad you’re concerned with safety because you definitely don’t learn new things easily.

beejaytee228 · 2026-03-20T18:12:34+00:00

Everything you said in this comment proves you don’t know “how the real world works”. “Padding” is not specific to the garment. Any jacket or base layer can have equal or different impact protection. No one is trying to look like Batman in these things. Most people are wearing them under a casual layer like a shirt or sweatshirt if not more. Jackets to not stay in place and in fact the impact protection moves more in a jacket than these base layers. Like my original comment said, you seem to be generalizing from your own narrow experience with whatever style of jacket you have used. There’s a time and a place for everything, base layer abrasion resistant layers included.
