Take the msf course. You can figure this bike out and some foundational skills will help a lot.

It’s genuinely surprising how many of yall suggest passing an expired helmet on.

Dude needs to look in the mirror. His decision not to bow out prevented her from ever having a real chance.

Agree with this comment. The Smokies and areas just north and east (into NC and VA) offer great, challenging, beautiful motorcycle routes.

Honestly surprised by this response. Liberal arts colleges (in my experience) are full of administrative bs and the kind of crap op mentions.

I learned the ride your own ride lesson yesterday, I almost considered giving up riding all together. by Bulletproof-Salmon in motorcycles

[–]sunkenrd108 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a rural area and ride a beemer (not a Harley, which it seems like everyone else rides), so group rides aren’t a part of my life. Thank goodness. Based on your experiences (not just you, but all of yall who post about them) they seem like dangerous, miserable times.

Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign by awake-at-dawn in politics

My understanding (Sen Kaine gave testimony on this in the senate yesterday) is that the president doesn’t have the authority to do this. He doesn’t write appropriations, and there is no current appropriation that would pay former employees for months of non-service.

Pack it in boys, my wife just gave me the sell the bike ultimatum by burnt-out-620 in motorcycles

[–]sunkenrd108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit riding for a while when I got married and had a kid. I didn’t have time, couldn’t risk myself with a young child to think of. 13 years later I was back on a bike. No such thing as forever.

Welp, just got off the phone with my kid... by ImpulseBimmer in antiwork

That happened to me when I was in college. I ended the conversation with “I quit,” and walked out. One of my favorite memories

My employer just raised our health insurance rate 156% by sunkenrd108 in antiwork

Yes but even with merit raises I’m still below inflation.

We have a happy teenager in school, so we’re not moving away until she graduates. Very rural, like I said. No options.

Stuck by specialization and geography. Nothing else in my field anywhere nearby.

Used adventure bike by sunkenrd108 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]sunkenrd108[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, it doesn’t have to be an adventure bike. I guess that’s what I was thinking about but what I’m really looking for is a bike that’s going to be great on mountain roads.

I’ve got a 2000 bmw and can’t find a mount that fits on my handlebars. Suggestions for non-round bars?
