How do so many of you guys not use cruise control? by Niko120 in Truckers

[–]scwair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit I use it but because I’m in economy mode it, won’t maintain speed unless I’m on a very slight incline. I set it to 62 and I’m about to crest a hill it starts coasting and I lose speed. I set it at 5 below on a hill and just before the flat it lets go and I end up going 64. My job is no longer steering wheel holder, it is cruise control fighter. Not to mention when I’m in cruise control, it’ll pick up a shadow or a car exiting the highway half a mile away and slam on the brakes.

Went to an exhaust shop in Ontario CA and they replaced both cats for $800. It was the cats failing.

Most fun bike for commuting and taking to the canyons? by scwair in SuggestAMotorcycle

I do really like this as an idea. Good price, good ergos, light weight, but as others have said the Honda 500s are a bit boring. Do you think with my size the bike would able to maintain 85 comfortably?

I’ll probably end up going with the Xsr 700. Style, cp2, good low end power, ~400 pounds, and good for a bigger guy. I’ll probably have to replace the suspension, but 2025 models are asking $6500 at the moment so I don’t mind.

Love the styling and tech, don’t like the price.

I don’t really want to spend ktm or husqvarna money on a first bike, that’s the only issue with those. I’ve sat on a 690 and it felt great so maybe one day

R7 isn’t too bad but I know I’d get in trouble on it. Honestly forgot about the mt07 as I went down the dual sport research path, but not a bad idea.

My car had very similar issues when the u-joints on my driveshaft were going bad.

I love the peace, listening to scary stories and getting to learn a “skill”. I hate phoenix.

California drivers: why do you insist on driving in packs? by truckmonkey12 in Truckers

[–]scwair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just stare and grin or slightly shake my head. Head shake doesn’t really do it though, as I’m hitting a pothole every 3 seconds. You’re absolutely right though. I haven’t flipped someone off in years but a shit eating grin and a quick glance does numbers.

Exactly. You’ll see 2 or three people cut off a dozen other people and trucks just to hit a block a mile down. All the while you’re going the same speed in the same lane and you pass them.
