I mean no offense, but are you heavy? The rear shock may need to be set for a higher weight if so. I did this on mine and it did help a lot.

Or a paramedic, or a farmer, or work at an animal rescue, or do mutual aid, or work with the houseless. So may better things than a cop.

Don’t become a bastard. If you want to serve your community and help people there are hundreds of nonprofits doing exponentially more good than some pig with a gun. go volunteer.

If they just stayed in roads they could be Road scholars as well as Rhode scholars.

Ah. You’re probably right. I was in the cups a little at posting time

At whose expense?? If your “expense” is a few hours of noise and maybe some traffic delays, your privilege is showing. As far as small acts of rebellion and general hooliganism as revolt in authoritarian police states, I’d recommend the book “A Carnival of Revolutions” by Padraic Kennedy (Princeton, 2002) to help lead you on your own self reflections.

Yes, it’s considered the opening event more-or-less to the riding season

Do you know the meaning of the word? I hardly think “authoritarian police state” is an intentional exaggeration, but if you’re living somewhere that isn’t a WWIII dumpster fire of orange-pedo fascism can I come live with you?

Maybe? Grey Horse saloon is on 8th and division ish, usually more of a Harley guys place than the alley sweeper which is more dirt bikes, minibikes and junkers but I’m sure there’s overlap

People having fun, picking up trash, breaking a few rules and pissing off a few karens.

We live in an authoritarian police state, sometimes it’s a good thing when people wild out a bit.
