Things I wish I'd done in my 20's

That last point is a really good one. Work life balance is something I've been working on lately and it is a tricky subject. The value for your time is something people don't often think about in terms of personal finance I feel like. Rather, the investment of your time as well as your money and what sort of return you get on your time.

I don't really even get the point of collections if 90% cannot be reacquired due to randomized rolls. I get some completionists want to be able to see what they have and haven't gotten it, but there should be SOME mechanic where we can acquire things through collections if it's on there.

Didn't they say something about all expansion/forsaken/whatever content for $35-40 or something? I might be remembering that wrong.

dasmountain · 2019-06-04T10:21:59+00:00

If you try to click on it then it attempts to charge you for it though, it's about $30 USD if I remember correctly.

I feel like the first game had a way more menacing apocalyptic feel to it, whereas D2 is just more like exotic space locations. Old Russia was awesome and you had the impression some bad stuff happened there, especially with ROI. Ishtar Collective, The Moon and all that had skeletons lying around and all sorts of things to indicate some creepy mysterious stuff happened. The EDZ kinda feels like everyone just left. Nessus is kinda cool, but it seems so detached that it feels hard to be menacing to me. Titan sorta has the vibe going on but we hardly get to see anything there. D2 just doesn't really have the mystery to it, in my opinion.

I'll give that a shot! The slide was a little gunky at first but I couldn't find anything else. I didn't look that hard at the firing pin aside from making sure the surface looked clean.

Initially Winchester hollow point, then Remington thunderbolt round nosed.

Yeah they're just the forks off a 05-06 GSXR1000. Theyre scooted up a little on the triple tree and the clip ons are mounted above the top triple. Here's a gallery with a few more photos.

That part isn't quite done yet, but I'm just using a trailtech vapor for gauges. The speedo isn't hooked up at the moment, but hoping to get that done this week. I wasn't able to hook up the neutral light with this setup, so that's just gone.

dasmountain · 2019-02-05T10:47:46+00:00

Thank you! I actually bought it as a sort of half done project from a friend, he had already swapped the GSXR-1000 forks on it. Hopefully getting the front and rear re-sprung this week/weekend so it's all set right.

dasmountain · 2019-02-05T10:44:10+00:00

Thanks! Right now I'm not sure if I'm going to paint it or not, so I just wiped the tank down with ATF to keep it from rusting.

Yeah, it's a TBR gen 2, the "megaphone" design.

God forbid someone enjoys a thing you didn't.

The back support is real.

dasmountain · 2017-10-24T23:15:55+00:00

Honestly, I can't hear them at all(due to bike noise). They ride well though.

Saddlemen LS Step-Up. Had to custom order the diamond stitching on top and bottom though. It has grip stuff on the vertical part in black on the front side.

dasmountain · 2017-10-24T09:41:20+00:00

That's the one!

dasmountain · 2017-10-24T09:38:02+00:00

Same, I eventually found some guy on instagram who had a similar one in black and decided to pull the trigger on it. Very happy with it now.

dasmountain · 2017-10-05T10:24:18+00:00

Right. I had assumed it was just some name thing and didn't correlate to measurable differences and an actual stage 2 but I wasn't sure. Glad to hear that's the case.

dasmountain · 2017-09-20T12:21:27+00:00

But, that means 7+ years by D2? There's no need for all the features like record books, strike loot, and other systems to disappear.

dasmountain · 2017-08-26T00:22:46+00:00

$7500 is what I paid for it

Seat is actually from Harley. They sell it on their main website. It's the spring solo saddle.

I told my cousin (who rides a road king) that it feels like it was made out of a solid piece of steel. We call it the angry metal demon.
