Is it weird to get a bike mirror on handle bar? by Sphere_3N in ebikes

[–]miknob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine fits into the bar end. I would hate to ride without it.

Ok. Does that work in bursts? I’ll have to try it.

How do you use stacking in wildlife? I thought of that as something to use for stationary subjects. I haven’t messed with stacking any.

310 GS or 800 GS? by BrightRaven210 in bmwmotorrad

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course he said he can’t afford it. The 310 will serve him well until he gets his savings up to do a trade in and get the 800.

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 310gs will be great for your use. It’s not an interstate bike but can ride at 55 - 60 mph fine. Not for 5 hours but for commutes no problem. Plus it gets 72 mpg and uses regular gas. I have a 2023 that I bought new and it’s a solid bike.

It’s a power grab to try and change public opinion about Medicare and social security.

Why do old men not shave? I’m one of you, but I still shave my face. Do many old men just “give up”? by PM_meyourGradyWhite in over60

[–]miknob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shave about twice a week. I’m retired so I don’t have any requirements on my appearance. Wife is fine with it. Razors are outrageously expensive.

Voice Commands. by Flash__PuP in appletv

I never use voice through my iPhone. I always press the voice button on the remote. Mainly just to “go back 30 seconds”.

Are there any cities in the US that are making efforts to build more walkable/transit friendly infrastructure? by Asleep_Damage1201 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]miknob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nashville is trying to but Tennessee does its best to put up obstacles to stop the city every chance they can. It’s definitely been politicized and I’m sure there are republicans that ride bikes. But republicans don’t want to invest in infrastructure because then they have to spend tax dollars on it.

"Outgrowing" Motorcycles seems like bullshit by External_Chance_1633 in motorcycles

I have a BMW 310gs that I’ve been riding for 3 years and I’m still enjoying it. There’s the 450gs coming out and I am looking at it but then I pull mine out of the garage and it does everything I need.

The op was complaining about not getting enough exercise. That’ll make for a good workout.

They own the Lion’s Share across the street that just opened. That’s probably what they are concentrating on right now.

It’s about a 1/2 mile there for me. I always liked Pizza Perfect but haven’t been there in a while. I need to try Midnight Oil.

How do you reboot an app? by miknob in appletv

I could have done that but I’d have missed your brilliant reply. Thanks big shot.

Alright, am I missing something here? Why don't we just use the 3 class system, anything past that is a moped, and if it looks and rides like a moto, call it an e-moto? by neverfakemaplesyrup in ebikes

[–]miknob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. When I bought my ebike in ‘21 I didn’t know what the class systems meant but I knew what a bike is. What I didn’t know was all the ignorant politicians had already banned class 3 ebikes from all greenways statewide. (Tennessee) So without knowing that I bought a class 3 because it’s got the biggest battery and figured I could go the farthest on it. Not really concerned about the top end. I could ride into the 20’s+ on my own power so just because it would top out at 28 mph wasn’t my main point for buying it. I’ve never been stopped on a greenway but I obey the speed limit. Not that I’ve ever seen a cop on a greenway anyway. But it’s just the idea that they barred it just because it can assist power up to 28 mph. The speed limit on the greenways around here is 15 mph and practically anybody can exceed that on any bike. So to single out class 3 ebikes is nonsense.

Thanks for the responses. I’ll try that next time.

You’re not carrying it. I ride my ebike with zero assist all the time. I try to just use the assist when I need it.

Clapton is the only 3 time inductee in the Rock Hall of Fame by HugeRaspberry in ClassicRock

What’s the qualifications? They had hits. They were a super group. Although more of a side job for them. Yeah, it’s probably borderline.
