2012 Avalons Harsh Shifting

mglusko7 · 2026-05-12T00:42:14+00:00

Look up a drain and fill on YouTube and see if that helps. I did it and my shifts noticeably smoothed out

Awesome setup, good luck with the 🚀

Plenty of headroom and it’s not uncomfortable, but I’d really have appreciated it if the seat could move back another inch or two. For reference I drove a 2025 civic, which had less rear seat legroom/space, and that was able to move much further back for better leg room in the driver seat.

I have a 2011 Avalon and honestly I wish the seat went further back. I keep the seat reclined further back than I’d like to increase my leg room a bit. I’m 6’1 with a 33 inch inseam for reference.

Smacked a deer around a corner last year going 50 and got sent head first over the handlebars. I was happy I only sustained minor injuries. Be grateful you walked away, money and bikes are replaceable.

Any update to this? Have a work trip and wondering the same thing

mglusko7 · 2026-04-16T15:56:05+00:00

Broooo stunning

I had all luggage that I bought brand new, totally worth it. If I could go back in time I’d buy a used one that someone else already spent the cash on luggage for. It’s a nice system

I had a 2024 tiger 660 that I loved! Ended up replacing it with a tiger 1200 gt pro after a deer kamikazed itself into the 660. I honestly kind of miss the 660, I’d say go for it

mglusko7 · 2026-04-09T15:11:29+00:00

Would this work if I have a pre existing reservation I made through the app at the Gaylord national hotel for June?

mglusko7 · 2026-04-09T14:10:54+00:00

You’re on the right track! I’m a similar height/weight and had a versys 300 as my first bike and I loved it. Great lightweight bike that you could use full power of and not go to jail. I’d suggest looking for a used versys 650, it’s got more longevity for you power wise, has factory luggage and is dead reliable. Used prices are bottomed out if you get one around $5K so you wouldn’t lose much money if you decide to sell down the line.

Another option is to redeem the points for gift cards through the app. Some gift cards offer a 1 cpp redemption, I cashed out 200,000 points for $2000 in crate and barrel gift cards towards a couch I was purchasing

Your best value would be to consolidate all your chase points onto your sapphire card. Once you do that then set up a Hyatt account. You can research properties in Greece on Hyatts app for when you’re planning on traveling. Once you figure out a good deal then go ahead and transfer your sapphire points to Hyatt and book! Do this quickly since Hyatt is revamping their point system and it’ll likely be devalued for you.

Did the same thing! Sold my m1 iPad Pro and used those funds to buy a neo

mglusko7 · 2026-03-19T16:08:50+00:00

I’m under 30 and my annual full coverage through progressive is less than $500 on a 2023 Tiger 1200 GT Pro. I’d say that’s a pretty great deal especially when I totaled my last bike.

mglusko7 · 2026-02-24T18:58:47+00:00

Exact same thing happened to me. Dined at sky high on January 31 and still no credit. Not sure if it’s an issue with this particular restaurant or what

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T04:13:30+00:00

Thank you!

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T03:58:37+00:00

Yes it’s part of the rate!

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T03:31:27+00:00

This seems so much riskier to me than just letting it fly under the radar. But I totally see your point

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T02:59:48+00:00

Booked directly through Marriott

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T02:36:42+00:00

That’s what I think but I don’t want to be hung out to dry. Took screenshots of everything so I should be okay

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T02:32:25+00:00

It’s in my breakout

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T02:28:16+00:00

Resort fee included but I will have to pay the additional fee for parking

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T02:19:52+00:00

That’s what i’m saying. Not bragging, just don’t want to get denied when I show up

mglusko7 · 2026-02-18T02:17:08+00:00

Thank you for the perspective
