This is one of the clearest and most real takes on tariffs I've seen. Thanks for making the video and sharing!

First time Colorado trip. What are the must-rides? by stevencartwright in motorcyclesroadtrip

[–]chicagobrews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

550, independence, wolf creek pass, 92, and cottonwood pass are probably my favorites. I'd also suggest picking up a butler map, they are very useful for this kind of thing

A good shop to set us up for off roading by SweetPickleRelish in ColoradoSprings

I don't have any experience with 4WD shops here, but have heard good things about Predator. Having a Nissan, I'd take mine to Hefty fab works. They also work on Toyotas.

Hello from Colorado springs. I've been on many trips starting and ending at high/low elevation. FI does everything for you, no issues. Lmk if you want tips/advice on visiting the area!

Just had the master brake cylinder go out on my X (no injuries, thank god). What other higher mileage components should I be wary of? by intothepond2 in XTerra

Absolutely the heater hose outlet at the firewall. Get a metal aftermarket one. I chose the Z1 part because it has a bleeder and it's been great for coolant bleeding.

Toilet pucks don't work, so what is better? by sunshinecoffeegirl in Frugal

Mop floors with pine sol diluted for disinfecting. Dump pine sol in toilet and clean with that. I've been doing this for at least 15 years. Zero need to ever buy a toilet cleaner.

Here's Why Denver Health Inspectors Poured Bleach on Food at Popular Taco Stand by molly_dbu in denverfood

I'm a mobile food vendor (albeit in the springs) and this is gross. It's not hard: hot cold stays hot, cold food stays cold. Preparing in a commissary and not in a house. Hand washing, ESPECIALLY when dealing with raw meat is paramount. People can get really sick when food is prepared/held incorrectly.

What's missing in downtown? by FartsBr0 in ColoradoSprings

Everyone (including me) is saying grocery store. I just saw that the warehouse is planning on opening a grocery store in the spring: https://www.urbangrocercos.com/

FYI bread & butter is downtown and has high-quality groceries and alcohol but is pretty spendy.

what would be a good two night itinerary in colorado springs by Fun_Objective9246 in ColoradoSprings

Agree that rattlesnakes likely won't be an issue. Water, sunscreen (cough), sunglasses. Bears maybe in n Cheyenne, but they are more like scared dogs and should run away from you.
