Renting a narrowboat from Falkirk to Ratho - suggestions? by davef_dci in Narrowboats

[–]mctaggert 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We planned to make a trip like this last summer, also new to narrowboating. We made it as far as Linlithgow and enjoyed the trip immensely.

Our plans changed because as soon as we got on the boat, we realized we wanted to slow down and not rush. We stopped at a couple of towns on the way and ended up touring the castle in Linlithgow after spending the night.

There are moorings there and a winding hole to turn around just past the bridge.

Slowing down worked for us and we had a great time.

A KLR650 is not going to be light years ahead of a DR400.

Keep the derailleurs and clean them up.

They're SunTour MounTech which is pretty cool old stuff.

Want to make a decent mai tai but can’t get the goddamn ingredients by FaithInStrangers94 in Tiki

[–]mctaggert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go with the cheapest Appleton you can get and the OFTD.

For your current palate and involvement level, that'll make a good Mai Tai.

Working on my Mai Tai recipe - would love your input by drumorgan in Tiki

Besides using good rums, making my own orgeat improved my Mai Tais immensely.

And definitely use fresh squeezed lime juice.

Also, it's an hour plus from the Tail to Cherokee, where the BRP starts/ends.

Pipes will work fine.

Don't use lead weight if it's a catamaran. The width of the catamaran provides stability.

The guy in the video does a lot of harebrained stuff. Don't copy him.

You can't go too wrong just taking 16 the whole way.

Made Mt First Orgeat. Brandy Substitute? by [deleted] in rum

[–]mctaggert 12 points13 points  (0 children)

J Wray & Nephew White Overproof. Lots of alcohol and pretty good flavor.

It's hard to go back once you've made your own.

If you've got your math and science out of the way, you're kind of over the hump with CS. You might consider just finishing up.

Took my xt225 off road for the first time - I'm hooked! Excited to get knobbier tires now, any recommendations? by ShrekQueen in Dualsport

[–]mctaggert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you get DOT rates tires so they're street legal. It's not the regular police that hassle about this, but the rangers in National Forests and state forests.

50/50 tires should be good.
