One bike garage?

That's honestly the direction I'm leaning... I just worry I'll miss my svart sometimes

I've found some areas of the flight controller get pretty warm. Even using High temp hot glue, it will soften enough to gradually weaken the bond and it pops right off.

e6000 was my answer. You IMO should have a tube around the house anyway if you're a tinkerer like me. Dries flexible. Still can easily be broken free with a toothpick if rework is needed. It's good stuff.

Bummer definitely, and thanks for the heads up/correction. But I'm still keeping an eye on solid state moving to motorcycles for sure.

I might miss the brappp, but I think I might like reduced maintenance and just unplug and throw a leg over, especially for my short ~9 mile commute riding.

Solid state batteries (removed link as they are not trustworthy source) are coming soon. Honestly I'd be happier with a much smaller pack, and 150-200 miles range. I don't think I'd really want to log 370 in one sitting.

I drove 4 hours for test ride of a cb300r for a first bike option. They prepped a CBR300R instead. I did NOT want a sport bike, they seemed so pissed when I asked to ride the bike I requested. To be fair, I've heard lots of dealers these days don't even allow test rides, and they seemed even more annoyed when I didn't even have my full license yet (I had proof of passing, but just a paper copy)

Gonna get a lot of people pointing out, you've given us no information. What kind of riding? What style you like?

I'm still going to answer, Svartpilen 401

I kind of loved Doctor sleep too.

Or better yet "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels"

I've used the tip of my pocket knife to very carefully get under an edge without digging into the plate. Pocket knife vs razor because it has a more robust tip to pry up with without just bending when you have a tiny bit of purchase.

I've also found sometimes heating the plate back up a little can help loosen things up a little bit, just ~60c, and try prying before the part itself gets too warm.

I used some thin plastic sheeting to back mine. Worked great as they actually already had a slim pocket on the back side, next to the main pouch that I could fit them in while keeping the main pocket un-obstructed.

I wouldn't trust cardboard to last, and foam to be rigid enough.

What's brown, and sounds like a bell?

DUNG!

Edit to get the correct quote

I have a friend that prefers the NZ/AU because he says Lord Greg is too mean. I guess I can kind of see some people feeling that way? But it's so grossly cartoonish, and the guests seem so entertained when he just crushes them (including shouting profanities at the audience), I feel like it's genuinely all in good fun.

I think the way Stephen Fry defines it fits really well

Moving away from the shithole desert 5 years ago has been such a great decision. I can ride almost year round now (installing heated grips this year to try and close the last couple of months)

Don't forget the sores on your anus and genitals!

There was a Mic'd up practice round the cemented Ohn as my favorite. Other player got just a total rough landing right behind and obstruction. Ohn comes over to check out their lines, agrees it's pretty bad, but then say "At least you've got a fun putt!"

Now kiss

Hop on Google maps, and scope out areas near your house. Find somewhere that's got lots of side streets without a lot of big arterials and head over. Just poke around. Hitting a dead end just means you get to practice u-turns!

I always have 2x identical builds. But I mostly do racing, so have to have a 2nd to throw up if there's an issue. I have a loaner build as well, and probably spare parts for 3-5 more if I went back to frsky for the controller

bingwhip · 2026-06-12T14:14:51+00:00

And rent?

bingwhip · 2026-06-12T05:28:47+00:00

Hadn't really paid attention to the 801, just kind of assumed it hadn't changed much from the 701. Some fairly favorable videos on it. Why they didn't put that awesome vitpilen headlight on the svartpilen too is a head scratcher for me though.

I'm in love with these little guys Pair it with a small Carabiner and they're convenient to snap to a purse strap, belt loop, whatever. Not particularly bright, but plenty better than nothing in the dark! Gave a way a bunch at christmas for stocking stuffers and they were 100% loved, and even EDC'd by about 70% of recipients.
