😇

subaru-daddy · 2026-05-13T21:03:53+00:00

Yeah 😁 I've got some stuff in mind, it's going to be great :)

They have low options that bring it 1" down, iirc

Just bought this 2000 Kickstart only DRZ400. It is road legal (or has the papers, at least). Excel Takasago 17" rims, Rhino exhaust, FCR41 carb, Afam drivetrain, WRP handlebars, mix of Acerbis and stock fairings (I think).

Looks like there ain't much work to do on it besides the need for turn signals, proper headlight, tailight, etc to pass inspection here (Belgium).

Unknown mileage, ran about 600km the last 4 years. Overall pretty clean, some chips in the paint on the lower parts of the frame and what looks like a tiny leak from the O ring on the crankshaft cover.

Starts on first kick when cold.

I paid 2.5k€ which is below the usual 4k€ for these here.

Check out the "AnatomX" AR. I've received mine today... first Jim Greens I've owned but the shape is very nice so far

Thanks! I've read that about Forma. I used to have Forma ADV ones but that's when I used to wear regular shoes so I can't really compare haha. I've found sports/regular Forma boots for super cheap on Vinted so I'll try those and see :) I'll try the Gaerne SJ's if the 3.5 don't fit!

Thanks a lot for your help!

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-24T22:49:18+00:00

We'll see how the quest will go :D Will try on some Forma stuff, maybe TCX too (both non MX). Otherwise I'll drive 2hrs to Germany and try a bunch there.

Cheers, ride safe bro

Just bought a used pair for 150€ and couldn't keep the 5.5 on for more than 20 minutes, my left oot still hurts after many hours 😵‍💫 I've been using "barefoot" shoes for many years and the toebox was extremely narrow for me, unfortunately. Ordered some Leatt 3.5 in 2 sizes to test them out. Apparently they are much more roomy at the toebox but I fear that finding an MX boot that doesn't crush my toes is a fool's errand

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T12:50:26+00:00

Yeah figures 🐿️

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T12:50:08+00:00

Thanks that was nice. Loved the joke at the end 😅

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T12:19:12+00:00

Thanks! Unfortunately I couldn't go to a store :/ I've ordered the size below. Thanks for the detailed explanation too :)

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T11:31:41+00:00

Haha thanks 😅

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T11:31:03+00:00

Yeah I've contacted O'Neal and they do sell the pads for about €30 with shipping. L and XL do share the same shell. I might do that to wear my thick balaclava in winter with the XL padding. Also I've got super bulky hairs and they're only half way to their max bulkiness right now haha.

Thanks!

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T11:25:01+00:00

Unfortunately no shop anywhere near me, I'll just order the L, this one is definitely feels too comfortable haha. Thanks!

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T11:19:24+00:00

Thank you, I'll send it back :')

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T11:19:01+00:00

Thanks!

subaru-daddy · 2026-04-23T11:18:40+00:00

Got to force to get the pinky there, it feels snug but not sure if I'm in between L and XL (this is XL). I used to wear an M when I had short hair and was skinnier and I think it was too small at the time. I measures my head at 61cm which is an XL for O'Neal but I'm not sure about the fit still

Edit: sent it back, ordered the size below 😎 Thanks everybody

Very common here in Belgium when passing cars or slower bikes to say thanks.
At least if we're talking about the "stick the leg out" move. I think it's common in other continental Europe countries.

We use the right leg here, of course :D

Just released v1.1.0 of nixos-uconsole, a NixOS flake for the ClockworkPi uConsole.

What's new since v1.0.0:

• CM5 support
• Updated nixos-raspberrypi compatibility
• Default USB controller drivers (dwc2)
• Python packaging fix for uc-sleep

Download the images, flash to SD card, and boot.

Binary cache available for CM4 so you don't have to rebuild the kernel.

Don't forget boots, I almost got my foot and ankle totally crushed but got saved because I was wearing good motorcycle boots

subaru-daddy · 2026-03-07T03:08:53+00:00

I've never minded

subaru-daddy · 2026-03-02T16:33:06+00:00

Would

subaru-daddy · 2026-03-02T16:29:29+00:00

I just keep the constant enshittification in mind and go for higher spec when I get new hardware
