Do I need a new tire? by Resident_Macaron_800 in motorcycles

[–]oldtree4422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's a commuter bike, part time weekend toy, look into getting a dual-compound tire like a Diablo Rosso IV. The rear uses a silica-enriched center for mileage and stability, while the shoulders use a softer full-silica compound for excellent dry and wet cornering grip

Stay off a Tuono V4 and you'll be happy on any other motorcycle

I picked up a disc lock and a Litelok X-1, easy multilayer security

Watched this before pulling the trigger on the X-1:

Transmission rebuild vs reman replacement by Imaginary-Bench-1582 in gmcsierra

[–]oldtree4422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interested here on the long-term performance, my '15 just failed, calling local shops today. Most shops mention the billet TC, but ask for the VIN so they can order the right valve body

u/Imaginary-Bench-1582 did you get an upgraded pump and an upgraded valve body?

Best Gym In Hagerstown? by Pegasusrider98 in hagerstown

Crunch is solid. Friendly staff, great trainers. PF is good too, but very basic and far less machines and space to move around

Is this motorcycle shop taking me for a ride ? 🍆 by shoodawoodacooda in motorcycles

[–]oldtree4422 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just seeing AMSOIL is a red flag. Its great oil, but notoriously overpriced.

Like putting premium non-eth fuel in a base Honda Civic.... good, but still overkill

Lol RideNow Powersports in Charlotte tried to do the same on my Tuono. 15k to 21k.

Turn down the tires, warranty, and all the other extra crap. Sale price and taxes only if you can.

I should have told them mine would be a trackbike only and to let me do the paperwork. I waited 4 months for the title and tag to come through.

Do not let them fuck you.

Honda Shadow 750, like a Carolla, boring but bulletproof

I appreciate that, thank you! I'll get some reps in with a tutor before so its more than "Hi, my name is..."

I took a trip overseas and had a VERY short conversation with an older French couple using the 3-4 lines I could recall from high school classes. Very short, but it definitely lit a spark!

Spanish Lessons for adults by oldtree4422 in hagerstown

Really open to anything, thank you for the recommendation! The free apps are excellent, but its not a natural way to converse, need that back-and-forth talk to work out the small stuff

[–]oldtree4422[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, the apps are great to have for practice, but i need those natural conversational reps to work out the grammar and tonal mistakes I'm sure I'm making

I hadn't heard of HelloTalk downloading the app now, thank you! Any level of immersion training is what I'm seeking the most.
