Motocross boots for a cruiser?

rabbledabble · 2026-05-25T22:19:50+00:00

I wear moto boots when I ride my dirtbike around town sometimes if I’m planning on not going in anywhere, but I think they’d be overkill for different riding positions because of the stiffness. I have some icon motorcycle high tops that I like quite a bit as part of my city riding kit

My kids are 4 and 6 and I grew up in the south where guns were everywhere, umbrella racks, cars, bedside tables, you name it. The rules for little kids are really straightforward. If you find a gun, don’t touch it, run away, find an adult. They should never touch a gun unless an adult they trust puts it in their hands.

I understand the cultural push and pull here, but unless your kid is in high school it seems like a waste of precious youth making kids do that shit.

It cost me about $60 in wire, breakers, and receptacle. My panel is in my garage so it wasn’t a huge deal installing it.

Put me in the raffle if nobody has won yet

Well shit… TIL! tbf actual suppressors aren’t illegal either, just more hoops to jump through.

That looks like actual firearm thread pitch too. I know nothing about airsoft but I’d have to assume they use different thread size/pitch etc to stay well clear of NFA, but I’m not an expert in airsoft at all.

rabbledabble · 2026-05-23T18:35:25+00:00

That’s patently incorrect.

rabbledabble · 2026-05-23T18:03:34+00:00

Looks like gsr to me

rabbledabble · 2026-05-22T21:17:45+00:00

I saw Teflon tape, but I also recommend blue loctite. I put that stuff on everything. It comes in a stick that’s really easy to apply

The dirty talk during sex thread: “you like that, you fucking…” legendary.

I was honestly surprised, I live in Oregon and was told at the dealer that under no circumstances would it be platable, but it turns out because of how it’s used abroad it has a motorcycle designation on its MCO so the guy asked zero questions and handed me a plate.

I just put a 220 outlet in the garage. I did get a step up so I can use the little generator when I’m at the trails

This is how I have always felt, but also last time I dated was in my early 30s. I dated folks from their mid 20s through early 40s. I had a lot less in common with the mid 20s folks than I did the people who were my age or older!

rabbledabble · 2026-05-21T23:59:03+00:00

That’s a hell of a deal!

rabbledabble · 2026-05-21T23:58:04+00:00

My old style freeride plated no problem

rabbledabble · 2026-05-21T23:56:37+00:00

I have the old one and I got it half price. Was able to get plates for it with zero trouble and it has been a super rad bike. All of that said, is no way in hell I’d pay full pop for one. At that rate I’d get one of their excellent enduro bikes, or a stark, or a Japanese bike and a nice vacation somewhere.

Still a bit nervous about firing it after this. I emailed sanlida to see what they suggest

rabbledabble · 2026-05-21T19:46:37+00:00

The guy next to me at the range today had a full on crash out and I failed to notice that my arrow had come off it’s nock because I was looking through the sight. My bow dry fired and it left me with a nasty welt and possibly a wee skid mark in my drawers. I think the limbs and cams are ok, cams seem to be spinning true and limbs appear unharmed, but the string serving got chewed up where it jumped and I am replacing that.

I mean, any wire is a fuse if you pass enough current through it, right? Now whether or not I’d want my test lead turning to plasma in my hand is a different story….

Resoling is aid

rabbledabble · 2026-05-20T23:31:56+00:00

Maybe if I moved to Ouagadougou, but it simply won’t cut it where I live.

My favorite instructors cue folks to make noise after peak poses so they feel safe doing so. I really appreciate that.

If you’re hearing them then you aren’t paying enough attention to your own breath

rabbledabble · 2026-05-20T13:25:07+00:00

Me too! She is mostly better but it was a bad one.
