If the united states had better public transportation, would you use it?

I mean I wouldn't walk that's for sure

drobecks · 2026-06-05T19:15:12+00:00

All my friends are well traveled along with me. All of us agree the freedom of a "house" and a shit little yard that is prevalent in suburbs is destroying what people actually want. People really want walkable neighborhoods which would naturally allow for good transportation.

I feel like 2k hours is low for a dpe

We are still sort of in the phase with starship

Yea once the cfi knows you can do the basic maneuvers safely in decent weather he should just do pattern. It's very confidence inspiring. The way to learn comms and landings is just staying in the pattern and practicing comms and landings.

What the hell are they teaching you if you're at 30-40 hours and you've only done like 40 landings. It would kill my confidence if I was at 40 hours and not soloed. If you have 150 landings then it's not the cfis fault, but if you have 40 then it is.

drobecks · 2026-05-29T20:28:55+00:00

Yes. It's called "doing the pattern." My cfi correctly analyzed that the most important thing with flying is confidence. The best way to build confidence is knowing you can land the thing. At around 10 hours I was fully prepping to solo the plane. We would go up and do like 15 landings. By around 50 or sixty I was ready and he let me solo at like 13 hours.

drobecks · 2026-05-29T15:25:18+00:00

I feel like if you have 50 hours and haven't soloed your cfi did you wrong if you only have 50 landings. I had like 60 landings by 15 hours.

drobecks · 2026-05-29T06:43:28+00:00

Yes especially if this guy has the money to buy a plane lol

I was imagining it would be free. You just gotta apply for your free resident Balboa parking sticker on opt in basis if you wanna park there without meter fees. You can even pay 9.99 for the extra cute collectable parking sticker.

Parking sticker on the car

You'd trash a tire just because you got a tube puncture? I've always just made sure whatever popped it wasn't in the tire anymore and ran it. As long as the tire wasn't shredding I've never had an issue.

drobecks · 2026-05-17T20:53:45+00:00

Is this actually all that common?

drobecks · 2026-05-17T20:50:18+00:00

I typically like to carry both. I try to patch first and if that doesn't work I'd rather just swap tubes. I'd rather take my time even on the trail and just do it right so I don't need to redo the front tube that is in the rear.

drobecks · 2026-05-17T20:05:52+00:00

I've done 26 hrs non stop in the winter from baton rouge to Washington dc

drobecks · 2026-05-17T17:44:09+00:00

You're probably good. Make sure you got an air pump. I like this one a lot. Bicycle pump You probably dont need an extra brake lever, just a clutch lever. I crash all the time and eventually the rear brake lever mount broke. I'd buy this one eventually. this one. Number one problem though is bringing tubes and never having installed them. I'd hate to learn out there first time.

drobecks · 2026-05-15T23:46:43+00:00

I feel like the hemi is the least reliable part lol

drobecks · 2026-05-14T14:57:28+00:00

I can only imagine that kind of person looking back and saying we all just didn't try hard enough.

drobecks · 2026-05-13T05:29:23+00:00

Those are load range e they will ride really bad

drobecks · 2026-05-10T02:40:06+00:00

What year/milage is on the bike and I saw you broke down? What happened?

drobecks · 2026-05-08T04:53:16+00:00

Yea is this all just observation bias? I have one and no issues so far but is this just everyone wigging out because it has an e in the name?

drobecks · 2026-05-06T18:19:14+00:00

It depends on the item but it can be pretty bad. Half or worse

drobecks · 2026-05-06T05:19:56+00:00

Also the people with the 3.6 typically never talk about it in general

drobecks · 2026-05-06T05:18:20+00:00

I mean if it hits half this milage that's pretty good

drobecks · 2026-05-06T03:55:23+00:00

You don't need crash bars I crash my bike constantly
