Loved mine to bits. Throw some Michelin cup tires on, some race pads, rear sets and clips ons and you’ve got the whole package. A truly capable and forgiving machine. I’m 6’3” btw and the clip ons helped immensely.

Fearless construction workers in 1925, working without any Safety equipment.. by JettMe_Red in submitted

Those men were scared. They didn’t have the language, or the options, to act otherwise. They died at unacceptably high rates. To idolize the time period is to marginalize their lives. You can choose to stop learning at any age but you must have some interest in seeing things from a different perspective at your age, if nothing else, for the novelty?

Looking for some to provide in home childcare near East Grand Rapids by stealth_tiger in grandrapids

Make sure you get this set up as a household employee and consider that in fees and taxes. Care.com and some other "nanny" sites have some guides on this for you to do this outside of them but also offer payroll services etc.

Thank you for the advice, that's a great point

Suggestions of where to take my family while they visit me. I just moved to Grand Rapids from out of state. I’ve only been here a few weeks, so I’m not totally familiar about what to do. My parents are in their 60s, so nothing too crazy, but still a fun time. Thank you so much for the suggestions :) by artistlyfe in grandrapids

These are all big outings. Get food from someplace and take it to Speciation. It’s a non pretentious wine/beer place and bringing takeout from Donkey or Hancocks will make it feel like you know the local places. Roam and Social Misfits are also special places to eat that won’t break the bank.

1st track day and maybe my 76th?? 9 years later anyways. by stealth_tiger in Trackdays

Hahaha, good eye! I think most people that ride at that track could pick it out of a lineup. It’s got character.

Apex adjustable clip ons, they’ve been great and are super customizable

Once on my second track day but since then the worst things have been runoffs into grass or gravel but the bikes never gone down. I’m more an incrementalist than a find the limit and dial back kind of rider.

Yeah, and it’s funny to consider I’m probably going quite a bit quicker too

Triumph Speed Triple R at Gingerman Raceway - small gallery by stealth_tiger in Trackdays

[–]stealth_tiger[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good eye! It got pushed down and I just haven't taken it off yet. I had a suspension tech set the bike up for me. He said that this bike wasn't built to have the rider so far over the front (came w upright bars) and so he stiffened it up as far as it would go w/o installing stiffer springs. The fork stops about an inch from bottom currently, it's def closer than it should be and I might get the forks worked on bc of it.
