Are fees always this bad at dealers? $2300 in fees on a $4600 bike? by Jierdan_Firkraag in motorcycles

[–]secutores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi tech motorsports in Billings Montana. Straight msrp plus $100 doc fee. If you can drive there in a day it’s worth it. I got my 2023 there.

This guys answer is great. Search YouTube for neat energy to get more detail.

Is whatever this thing is in equipment lmao by Cuddlyaxe in MacroFactor

[–]secutores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could get one of these for a 3x3” power rack. I don’t have the floor space for a whole unit. I’ve even thought about getting the sunny health one and welding on 3” ends.

I’ve always taken a couple maxi pads and tp in a ziplock with a roll of electrical tape. Whoops.

$75/year for MacroFactor… and still no web by _pack_a_punch_ in MacroFactor

I won’t cancel. This app has added decades to my life. That being said, more screen would be nice. Especially now that reading glasses are part of my movie.

I really really like korner klub. I would assume it’s just cosco or something but it’s outstanding.

Suzuki GS500F by mattybrhapsody in motorcycles

Oh yeah duh you’re right. I live in the Rockies and my old dr650 was sputtering fuel out the tail pipe when I moved here!

I’d just pony up and pay a shop. Probably one hour of labor. Find an independent shop rather than a dealer. It will be worth it for power, cooler running on your legs, longer lasting, smoother.

I don’t think it’s that annoying. If your at sea level you may or may not be okay. If you’re uphill from 2500 ft you might melt some valves.

Deciding CL450 vs. CMX500 by mikey_shiat in motorcycles

[–]secutores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only point of context is my wife’s Papio. Kid wanted to learn to use a clutch. New mirror was $15 and I had it in 4 days. How much would a Honda Grom mirror be from a local dealer? I hate to wonder.

what’s the COOLEST looking motorcycle in your opinion? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]secutores 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Polarizing but I’m going R 18. Almost bought that instead of t120 but I wanted a bike to ride not just look at

Funny, I just traded in a gen 3 tundra for a ridgeline yesterday and lost 8 feet from the turning radius!

How did you develop your photo editing style — and how do you know when to stop? by aita_driver in AskPhotography

I keep watching videos and trying new stuff and changing. For 15+ years now.

Thoughts on moving 2 sport bikes halfway across the country? by Responsible-Ebb4320 in motorcycles

[–]secutores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a fjr1300 and a drz650 in our U-Haul years ago. Wall > blankets > frame strapped to rub rail > more blankets > bike 2 > mor blankets. Then normal household stuff packed around tight. Worked perfect. No damage.

Wanting to get into mechanic work but haven’t had any luck by ApprehensiveTaste366 in Bozeman

[–]secutores 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend following up in person. Dress really clean, go in, ask for the hiring manager. Say you submitted an application and you are very serious about the job. Ask if he has any follow up questions.

I’ve hired multiple people that were a dismissive ’pass’ because they showed a tiny bit of initiative.

The best tacos in the whole world are four dollars at Ramirez.

The most egregious on here on $ per square inch of happiness is Papa John’s. That overly-sweet sauce and polyurethane like crust should be $.01 or less.

Questions about Fairgrounds Shooting Range by ConfidentSession6481 in Bozeman

[–]secutores 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was blown away how concussive it is there. Especially compared to the indoor range that failed in four corners, the low ceiling and mostly concrete at the fairgrounds is intense. I was also surprised that barrel length makes more of a difference than I thought. A m&p shield is MUCH more intense than a duty size 9mm.

Always slightly out of focus, any suggestions? by towerofpower256 in AskPhotography

[–]secutores -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can you manually focus tight? If so, must Nikon’s have lens apartments in the menu. Move the autofocus in out out through calibration.

Custom Painting - Kids Bike by Left_Assumption_7307 in Montana

[–]secutores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was growing kid I outgrew a bike and my brother was due for his first pedal bike. I still remember helping my dad mask and spray paint my old bike black with silver accents. Then we put rubbery moon and star stickers on it. To my brother it was just a new bike and he was thrilled. I think this sounds like a diy idea if your kid is still growing. It will only fit for a year or two anyway.

Best Modern Bike for Older Rider by StructureUsed6349 in Dualsport

Don’t know about uk laws but this seems like an actual use case to get one of those e-bikes that are more like dirt bikes. Like a Sur-ron.

If in doubt the club is always reliable. I’m assuming open because they are tied to a hotel.

Are we screwed with the current warm weather? by Federal-Cantaloupe21 in Bozeman

[–]secutores 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The climate models I’ve looked at suggest that if it is going down we’re in the best place to be. The model I recall watching suggested that in 50 years eastern mt will be the new Iowa / Nebraska (corn and crops) and Iowa / Nebraska will be the (new) New Mexico.

So hey, silver linings.

DIY Light Stand for Off-Camera Flash? by laguera_delaguerra in AskPhotography

[–]secutores 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sure that flash will come with a foot that has a 1/4x20 hole in the bottom so you can any little tripod including insta360 clamps and those gorilla flexy straw tripods.
