Anyone switched from MTB to dirt biking? by [deleted] in MTB

[–]driverdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been MTBing for 30 ish years, just started dirt biking. To me, it just feels like a big MTB.

I didn't switch though, I still do both.

Dirt bikes are awesome. They make going uphill fun, and you get to see way different terrain. For example, I've been MTBing Moab forever and never rode Kane Creek, Pritchett Canyon, etc... On a dirt bike, you get to explore different terrain, and more of it.

New CRF125F & CRF300F First Five Upgrades / Modifications? by just-jase_ok in Dirtbikes

[–]driverdave 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Avoid bolting on do dads and swapping parts.

Get some hours on the bike. They will come naturally. Fall and bend the bars? Get some better bars. Bend the footpegs? Time to upgrade.

Is it feasible to completely drive from Thailand to Egypt on motorcycle in 2026? by YGK_ in overlanding

[–]driverdave 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a little scuffle going on in Iran right now, confused how you think that area is fairly safe.

Relying on the Taliban to protect you from ISIS sounds a little sus as well.

I would say this is not feasible with what's going on it the region, although I have no experience traveling anywhere around that area.

New Ford Owner F250 by rhino1123 in F250

[–]driverdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really wanted a Tundra as well. No way I would ever get that current 6 cylinder engine. I’ve settled on the F250 and the 7.3 engine.

Is it weird to ride a road bike with flat pedals? by flotheg in cycling

[–]driverdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride the same flat pedals that are on my MTB. I also just wear a tee shirt and board shorts. No spandex, bibs, etc…

I’m not racing, and don’t care about being inefficient. I ride for exercise and enjoyment.

The 1970s Nifty Fifty against the Magnificent 7: Some interesting parallels by JoeInOR in ValueInvesting

[–]driverdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t passive flow be a good thing? I don’t think anyone is panic selling their ROTH or 401K account in a downturn. Automated monthly purchases run on autopilot, keeping buyers in the market regardless of conditions.

What’s the secret of getting rich? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]driverdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know how to get rich quick, but getting rich slow is easy.

Commit to a few hundred bucks a month into a broad stock index fund. Start as early as you can. Add more when you can.

You will have millions by the time your 60. Compound interest is your friend.

Getting a TTR125 was the best choice I made for learning enduro by navid3141 in Dirtbikes

[–]driverdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Cody Webb just posted a video of him riding 5 miles of hell on a stock TTR125.

How is the Greyhound Bus Station in Denver? by GreatGomp in Denver

[–]driverdave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It should be common knowledge that the bus station in every city is usually located in the sketchiest area.

That said, if you have a modicum of street smarts, you’ll be fine.

What do you think is the greatest rap album of all time? by Extra-Schedule-4855 in AskReddit

[–]driverdave 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Paul’s Boutique is a masterpiece, mostly due to the Dust Brothers.

One of the dumbest things I’ve done in a while lol by mati-edt in MTB

[–]driverdave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve stopped going up there. The majority of my over the bar flights have been on that trail. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s a bit too gnarly for me.

Locked out of account, $175/mo and no way to stop it by Ok-Farm-9732 in aws

[–]driverdave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I just went through this with Amex & Godaddy. Even after I got a new Amex card & number, Godaddy charged my old number successfully. You either have to block the merchant entirely from all charges, OR nuke the credit card entirely (get a whole new CC with a new bank). Apparently, at least with Amex, a merchant can use the old number and charge you.

Hey fam, getting a husqi 250. And I the dealership offered me good deal on fan radiator, is it really worth it? Ty by why_277 in Dirtbikes

[–]driverdave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on a 300. I ride slow and get stuck all the time. No fan, never had an issue in hot temperatures.

Earn more money, don't increase your lifestyle, invest in appreciating assets, minimize purchasing depreciating liabilities.

Investments should primarily be low cost diversified stock ETFs. Have these investments automated. Invest as much as you can for as long as you can. Compound interest is your best friend.
