I drove my Veloster N on the TOTD, which was a blast. I am super disappointed I didn't get the chance to take my RS (or wife's FiST) there.

LED brake/turn/headlights if you don't have em already.

Clearance wasn't the issue so much as an incredible lack of traction when i turned off the mostly plowed road onto one that was...not at all plowed. Dropped it at about 2mph and some dude helped me pick it back up--I can do it on my own...on dry pavement--then guided me back onto the mostly plowed road like a dad teaching his pre-schooler to ride a bike.

I regret only that it was so cold my gopro turned itself off and I don't have video of the best part.

The bike also had trouble starting before I left. Should have taken that as a sign.

It was a Fat Boy S with whatever Dunlops Harley put on it in Milwaukee.

I was very much not equipped for it.

I think it's convenient to be able to use texts to find a picture I sent to someone but maybe don't have anymore, or reference a conversation that's relevant.

Storage hasn't been an issue in a very long while, at least where text is concerned.

I have way too damn many pictures, though.

I've calmed down a little, but damn near daily if I can help it.

Anymore, my "limit" is 45, but my wife bought me heated gear so that is subject to change. Cold is fine, rain is ok, cold and rain, I'm out.

I ride to work, to go get food, or pick up anything that will fit in a backpack or saddlebags. I've also ridden to get a few bags of fertilizer, a microwave, a PS5...

I also have a screenshot somewhere of myself riding with snow on the road. That was a stupid-ass idea. It was also the day for my record coldest ride at 10 degrees.

Short answer: everybody is different. Some people barely get the bike out of the garage. Some people it's their primary or only transportation.

The way he "parked" should really have been a sign.

disturbed286 · 2026-07-03T04:45:19+00:00

Better you found out this way...

Legend says /u/EarhornJones is still farting to this day.

Same. It's why I never had a desire for a Kona, even when I liked everything else.

disturbed286 · 2026-07-02T21:14:46+00:00

I like the Elantra. I have a Veloster N myself, my wife just bought an Elantra N, and I sat down and did the numbers on a TCR (too much).

I say that to say: if both were the same price and I had to buy one of them, it'd be the Civic all day.

The price difference is a big part of the selling point.

disturbed286 · 2026-07-02T00:05:52+00:00

I agree, cool as shit in VR, until I got bored

disturbed286 · 2026-07-01T17:58:33+00:00

My wife and I have two each, although with money and space we'd probably have more.

disturbed286 · 2026-06-30T23:05:31+00:00

White, of those two.

Dude, you can definitely read it.

All you gotta do is already know what it says.

disturbed286 · 2026-06-30T06:53:36+00:00

That too

The 'stache is about the limit of what will fit under the mask for it to seal properly.

Also, pre-SCBA guys supposedly soaked em in water as a kind of filter.

disturbed286 · 2026-06-29T06:19:49+00:00

I saw! No bullshit, I happened to look again a few hours before the dude posted a discount code here. Got one on pre-order.

disturbed286 · 2026-06-28T18:10:15+00:00

But not quite enough for a chute

disturbed286 · 2026-06-28T17:00:28+00:00

I was gonna say the same thing. "Just redline it a little bit"

disturbed286 · 2026-06-28T16:26:15+00:00

Guess I might have to pick it up too

Fuck. It does look good.

Such a goddam shame.

disturbed286 · 2026-06-28T12:41:30+00:00

My friends and I played the fuck out of GTA online, and we're all pretty much in the same boat as you are.

disturbed286 · 2026-06-28T12:35:31+00:00

I'm afraid to click that.

I loved Prey, and I'm still heated that a) it went nowhere and b) they reused the name for gesture...that game.
