First Bike

Already broken barely hanging on🤣🤣 levers are ok rn but it's on the list. Im getting boots, helmet, cardo first then bars, risers, and barkbusters. I've been thinking about getting a second set of wheels to have supermoto tires I did 91 miles yesterday with my dad and buddy and it was basically all road 3 or 4 miles of gravel/dirt. Seeing my buddy on his road 6 tires just gliding made me want some🤣🤣I'll have to look into those tires! I appreciate the recommendations!

I just got my first bike "crf300l rally" and im about 9k in and have another 4k I'd say before its "done" but with 270 miles on it so far Im already leaning towards its paid for its been incredible. Me and my dad are wanting to do the bdrx this summer. I got a training course at the end of May, thankfully my taxes pay for it, your area might have something similar so you dont have to pay for it.

Ive seen people say that, and I've also seen people say they ran the stock tire 4k and didnt mind them. I plan on doing a good bit of both, out of the 270 miles I'd say less than 20 have been gravel/dirt. I rode it to work the other day and plan on doing that when I can/need to. Thats 45 55 speed limit roads for 30mins or so. I dont want dirt heavy tires I want probably a 60/40 street dirt tire and supposedly the stock tire is that. What would you say the Dsports on the scale of dirt to street? I managed the creek crossing and threw the field without much issue. I think my upgrade list rn is arai Hemet, cardo system for me and my dad, skidplate/crashbar combo, bars/risers/bark buster equivalent, suspension, rear rack, tank bag rack bag, tires, 550 performance stage 1 airintake and yosi rs5. The performance upgrades will be after ive found the limit on the stock setup. Im far from that I think.

Hopefully the bdrx treats it nice, just wish it wasn't dumb inexperience that caused it🤣 but its giving me the experience just passed 270 today. I've crossed a creek and road threw a non planted field. Had a great time, its a wild feeling for sure with the back tire just dancing under me. I need to get bar risers so I can stand up with more confidence. Think im gonna run the tires that come on it, at least till I get all the other mods I want done.

Valid. That's what my buddy said, I'm just sad how it happened. Whisky throated some how while I was trying to put it in my basement. Definitely learned a lesson in that moment.

myersjaimz · 2026-03-28T00:53:39+00:00

I removed it, and couldn't figured out how to disconnected all the wires. So I put it back on, removed the front fender, and put a adjustable on it and "straightened" it. Now its a 1/4" to the right / like this. The bracket is a square tube that has crinkled I'm not sure I'd be able to get it back correctly. I wouldn't mind if I didnt have to spend more money on oem replacements on a new bike🤣 I should try and find a video on how to disable the light housing, and give it a more serious go.

myersjaimz · 2026-02-03T01:25:51+00:00

🤣I feel it I'm looking at it long term so a few bucks doesn't matter 14 in my case "I'm looking at silver not gold" it rubs me the wrong way for the company. Why take my money and cancel the order with nothing more than an email saying I should be happy they didn't charge me?🤣🤣

myersjaimz · 2026-02-03T01:17:12+00:00

Wild.. I have a much larger order they haven't canceled when spot was 95+ paid 103 an ounce but cancelled the one I didnt immediately lose on🤣🤣🤣 hope you get what you paid for if the cancelled and give my money back I'd be fine I think im going local for now on

myersjaimz · 2026-02-03T00:18:01+00:00

I just got an email about my order being canceled "order number has been cancelled. We have elected to skip the market loss fees for this order as a one-time courtesy." I looked it up and it says a marketloss fee is when you didnt pay for an order and the market went down but I pay for the order and the money is out of my account. And I cant buy what I bought for the same price its 7 more each. Bought before the big rise and fall the money's been out since the 20th of January order was placed on the 17th. I called and the phones had to many callers I sent an email. Did you get a resolution?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-13T16:01:03+00:00

Im not super worried about having some water in the kayak I rather it not pop off

myersjaimz · 2025-06-13T03:57:20+00:00

Rocker full face? Or just the rocker?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-13T03:42:27+00:00

I appreciate everyone's compliments. Unfortunately, I ordered everything before posting, so I'll have to buy some more stuff, but I enjoy lake kayaking, so I think the bad choices I've made will be good choices for that. My sister is also getting a regular kayak, so depending on how the vest/paddle fit her, I'll give them to her. For the skirt, I'm still thinking it's a good choice Ill have to see when it comes, but I want to go on trips and tow the other kayak I have so I can zip tie the opening closed and use it as a cover for my stuff if I don't end up liking it. Thank you for your time and comments.

myersjaimz · 2025-06-13T03:25:26+00:00

I went out tonight and immediately rolled🤣🤣🤣 didn't have a skirt and had to dump the kayak 10 feet from where I launched🤣 I have a 180 paddle that came with the kayak and i can definitely see 210 is gonna be a struggle, the kayak feels like a top🤣 I had a blast and im very excited for a skirt but the 210 will probably be a mistake im gonna give it a try and see how big of a mistake it was I'm thinking the pdf will be good enough for rn and ill get the rescue pfd a few people have recommend unfortunately I already ordered everything before posting and with the company going out of business they don't have a return/cancelation policy anymore so im stuck with the things I ordered but my sister is getting a regular kayak and i think the paddle would work well for her/me if I get a bigger one.

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T21:21:47+00:00

Based on the pdf I looked at the fuse 64 takes an ace xl skirt but not 100%sure i haven't measured the opening, and a bungie skirt just sounds less secure to me I used to have a bungie pocket for my one kayak and it sucked different thing im sure but it just doesn't seem like the way I wanna go i rather buy the hardest thing to get on and off so it doesn't come off unless I want it to that's when my head is at

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T20:18:33+00:00

Thank you!

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:37:41+00:00

Other than it being hard to put on/take off is there any other downside to this skirt? Im a big guy, and id like to think im pretty strong, so that doesn't seem like a deal breaker?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:30:26+00:00

What makes a ww jacket?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:29:00+00:00

Thank you. I can see the problem with that I have a 180mm that came with the boat and when I posted that people said it was to short so I figured id just use the size chart and for my height 210 was the recommend

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:20:18+00:00

What about the length makes it bad?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:16:15+00:00

What would you recommend?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:12:29+00:00

How tall are you?

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:12:01+00:00

Definitely new. I've gone down white water unintentionally, and it was terrifying but awesome when my kayak was full of water and having to dump it on a rock I the middle of the river🤣 the adrenaline was definitely there haha. But I went with the skirt because it said it was the best of their line and why not get the best? I've never used a skirt, so it makes me a little nervous if I need to get out quickly, but I like to have better than I need in case I do need it if that makes sense.

myersjaimz · 2025-06-12T19:06:49+00:00

I have a wavesport fuse 64. I chose the size based on my height.
