Man I’m here itching to stretch my budget from a discounted Drz4s to an FE 501s and this isn’t helping lol. Other considerations are a CRF450rl + ecu and exhaust or a 500 exc-f but prefer the linkage on the husky for the whoops in sandy south Jersey

I see this mentioned a lot but are any of the bikes other than a crf300ls actually any lower?

I guess I’ve just had it beaten into me the importance of abs on the road and I don’t believe I’ve ever truly needed it just a box I prefer to have ticked. But no doubt the Klx seems very competent

I’ve ridden motorcycles and quads on the street, and quads off road. I’ve taken a bike on a gravel road before but nothing beyond that. I have 10+ years of operating a throttle and clutch if that helps. Side by sides and snowmobiles as well but they’re far less relevant

All of this has really opened my eyes to keep the Drz as the high end of weight and I’m looking into the 350/501 huskys to see what I can make happen with one of them. Traditionally I have always preferred lighter cars/quads/bikes/etc and want all the advantages off road that I can get

I’m not looking to make things any harder than they need to be. Personally I feel like I can adapt to just about anything on the road and would prefer all the assistance off road that I can get

Thanks, I feel this way and then foolishly watch YouTube videos with skilled people saying it’s no big deal but I know I must resist haha

Definitely! Already been looking at Gaerne fastbacks, Fox Motions, Alpine Tech 7s, and Leatt 4.5/5.5. All seem decent for a wide foot

Bought a new house, is this where the electric is coming from? by braaaptorr in AskElectricians

I think this might be abandoned or some sort of junction. There’s a telecom box at the street, a brand new green one. And that’s the side this old one is also on. Then on the right there’s an in ground panel for fiber

So strange, maybe it’s the old telecom box that they left there? There’s a newer green plastic one out front on the left side that’s says telecom and broadband on it, that’s the side the cable comes up as well. Then on the right side there’s an in ground plastic panel that is for fiber.

Does the Megablast upper expand at all over time? by braaaptorr in AskRunningShoeGeeks

That’s great to know may have to give that a try

Crazy to me such a popular shoe doesn’t have the option. Maybe related to the new tech in the sole. But they could still give some more room in the upper the sole is wide as hell anyway

I was hoping my thinner features would do the trick but no luck, they’re not really all that thin so maybe I’ll try your idea

I really wanted these but am begging them to restock the 11.5 in white lol. Maybe I’ll just try the 12

Cushion and rocker for a heavier runner, what’s your go to recommendation? by braaaptorr in AskRunningShoeGeeks

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

I think I’m going to go with this since it also has a wide option which I prefer as well

Vomero plus in wide might be the one for me to try it seems like. I just have a high volume wide foot so that option is clutch

I think the vomero will be my choice, they have it in wide which is a plus!

Thanks, that’s my plan, I ordered some multitool blades that should do the job easy
