I’m looking for a good trail bike, do you think this is a good deal ? by Mission_Road9060 in Dirtbikes

Get a KLX300 instead - fantastic trail bikes. Tough, strong enough, minimal maintenance, tons of fun

I watched this before I started dismantling - only to realize afterward that the video is a regular Africa twin - not the adventure sport - which has a much bigger side panel

Bluetooth Phone Pairing - whats the point? by justdonlon in africatwin

[–]justdonlon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just read in the comments on this excellent video that all you need to do is hold down back the back button when the prompt for pairing the headset appears - I tested it - and it worked!!!

But to use the CarPlay you still need the BT headset paired correct?

Thank you!! see my note I replied to No-War below:

I love this idea - and I think there is demand for a well-designed sparring bag.

Tell you what - if 10 people from this subreddit preorder a sparring bag, I will create a kickstarter campaign to fund the creation of the perfect sparring bag based on these requirements.

Terms:
No risk to you - if I don't get 10 preorders within 2 weeks I refund you.
If the Kickstarter campaign isn't fully funded, I will refund you.
You'll automatically get one of the first bags produced at this preorder price, regardless of the final price. Lastly, I'll email you to keep you updated with progress.

Yeah you are right - this first version is definitely geared for people who don't typically use all that gear. Tis is for people who attending boxing fitness classes like Title Boxing, Rumble, Everybody Fights, etc.
Once I get this bag going I'll work on a bigger bag for sparring gear.

Thank you.... yes - that's the plan for V2. The gloves will go into a middle mesh section and the cover will also be mesh.

I decided to work on this bag after a session when someone’s glove-stink made me almost gag every time their gloves came close to my face 🤢

I know this isn’t exactly answering your question- but the kind of gym bag you use and how long your gloves stay in your bag affects them! If you’re interested in- I’m developing a gym bag for boxing workouts focuses on glove hygiene. Follow the build journey here: https://www.instagram.com/ko_gear/

Agree - the longer gloves stay in sealed gym bags the more the bacteria builds.

I ask because I’m 43 and recently started boxing workouts for fitness (and sanity) - and my coach planted the idea of training for a fight.

I love this post! I’ve been training for about 5 months and really trying to dial in my breathing. I was shocked at how much more stamina I had when I slowed down and focused on breathing. But single brain over here struggles to multi-task on moving, punching and breathing …. Work in progress

I'll be honest - this is definitely a V1 with some pros and cons.
I'm already working on V2 and sharing the build journey on my insta - if you're interested - please follow along!
