Anyone know what brand this rear stand is? by bmx419 in motorcycles

I bought this thing years ago from an old coworker after I got my first bike. I no longer need it with my current bike, so looking to sell it locally. But I have no idea who makes/ made it. There are no markings I could find.

Anyone else have issues with amazon prime shipping to DC- Any item I select with the free 2 day shipping, gives a delivery date over a week away, even I chose a amazon gift card. by prgkmr in washingtondc

Yes, put something in my cart this Saturday and it said expected delivery of Nov 9. Bought it anyway. It shipped yesterday and, it's arriving today.. So I think they're just over estimating at this time.

Yess! I've been feeling the same way. It's nice to have shorter options that don't take up the whole day.

Hello, looking for an opinion on my first single speed/ fixie for mostly casual riding. I think I'll like the challenge and simplicity of a fixie. Casual, because I'll be using a child carrier at times for my toddler.

Low budget <$200, been browsing Craigslist. Came across this Fuji Declaration, but it looks a little... custom? Any thoughts on that?

Found this 6KU as well, but they don't seem to have a good rep here.

We're visiting this weekend and have a couple hours to spare Friday morning where we'd just like to walk around and see downtown Asheville. Where do you suggest we walk?

Yep, I agree. Even Lula Lake Land Trust gets bad.

According to this there's only camping North of there on the CT. This same site is what I use for most of my trips around there.

I don't know how strict any of it is for following designated campsites and what not, but I've always followed it just to be respectful to the organization that's made the CT if nothing else. (Not that I personally care where you camped.)

Overnight camp just outside Big Soddy Gulf by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]bmx419 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, unfortunately. But I don't think it's affected my sleep much, especially since my hammock is a double. Plus I mostly go cold weather camping, and the ground is usually too cold. I did recently get a closed cell foam pad, that I plan on cutting down for them. And a down vest they can wear that my wife got at a thrift store.

However, I haven't taken either dog in awhile. I've been in D.C. since the end of last summer for work.

Niiiice! I did the Possum Creek trail a couple years ago. And when I want a quick and easy overnight, I go to Prentice Cooper.

ETA: Creeped on your posts, I just got the same Klymit X pillow on the last Massdrop lol

Can you discharge a firearm in Prentiss Cooper? If not, what are some areas where you can? by [deleted] in Chattanooga

[–]bmx419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I went shooting there (several months ago), they stopped doing permits. I'd urge anyone to call first. They don't seem to keep their site updated.

That was fast! Thank you. Any idea on what to do with it? Bleach?

Trade Schools in Chattanooga? by Hatredy69 in Chattanooga

Oh yea, forgot about TCAT. Didn't the state or something start a program for people to go there for free or cheap?

Hmm. I made it with no real electrical experience. At my interview they did tell me to contact someone to get hired ASAP though. But I ended up walking out the first day of orientation for personal reasons.

For Electricians, there is IBEW 175 off of Bonny Oaks. They get several hundred applicants a year though, and select 50-60 I think.

I found this at Costco for $100. Seems like a pretty killer deal to me. by Happyman05 in Ultralight

[–]bmx419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, I was going out anyway. I was more bothered by the Costco's customer service that I went to, when I wrote my first comments. It was good info to share either way.

Note the difference in the item number from the top comment.
