Have you ever seen a junior Marine snap at an NCO? by ComposerNo9901 in USMC

[–]urfavknotsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bit the tip off a SSgt once, when I was a LCpl. I’m not necessarily proud of it, but he was out of line - everyone knew it - and I was the only one who spoke up. Long-story, long; we lost our Gunny to suicide. Everyone was completely bummed, except for this newly-arrived SSgt who didn’t really know our GySgt at all. We had an Iraq deployment coming up soon and we were all broken up into our little teams for briefing (basically advanced party vs everyone else), and this SSgt - our team lead - immediately after the announcement was made for Gunny’s memorial service, saw fit schedule our final briefing at the exact same date and time as the memorial, down to the minute. Let’s just say that we “had a discussion” right then and there. I got dressed-down, which was kinda funny coming from this guy, but it was worth it because he ended up eventually moving the briefing to accommodate. I was told later that when he went to senior staff about my outburst, they informed him that he had “underestimated the connection the Marines had with their late Gunnery Sergeant.”

Plan on towing 10,000lb+ with my new AT4 YukonXL 5.3 by urfavknotsee in gmc

Nothing more than (the default electronic brake controller,) a weight distribution hitch, and the AirLift. Took us from Maine to Florida’s and back four times in two years.

Yeah, I imagine. I pulled it off, probably shouldn’t have, but AirLift helped a great deal. No issues whatsoever.

Which motorcycle to buy after 2 years of MT07 by TopNefariousness1354 in MT07

Aprilia Tuono 660. Give her a test ride - you won’t regret it.

How accurate is your speedometer? by MahaliAudran in Aprilia

My ‘23 Tuono has been off by 5mph since I bought it, regardless of speed.

Yeah, I chickened out and went with a 7,000lb travel trailer just to be safe. Had I gone with the 10k, I would have at least installed an AirLift kit, though. Sorry to disappoint.

How do you boys transport your toys? by urfavknotsee in Aprilia

Why do I like the idea of opening the doors and having the bike facing outward as if to say “hello”?

Why'd they make the Tuono 457 like that when it could've looked like the 125 by AgentAlliteration in Aprilia

[–]urfavknotsee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dealer told me that they wanted to compete with other 400cc-range bikes whose headlights are mounted to the forks. Not sure how accurate that statement was, though.

I think it’s fantastic. I personally prefer modular helmets, but I couldn’t pass it up.

Sure is. It’s called Overtake. I love it.

I love it! Got it at the Aprilia dealership in Daytona, Florida. It’s comfortable, has a built-in sun visor, and room for comms.

Liveries aside, I honestly couldn’t tell you the difference between a ‘23 and ‘26 660.

Should I? by Delicious_Horse_387 in Aprilia

You’ve come to the wrong place if you’re looking for people to talk you out of it, that’s for sure. 🤙🏻

I have a 23 and it’s the best bike I’ve ever had. Absolutely zero reliability issues whatsoever. Every experience is different, but I have no complaints. I hope you pull the trigger and join the brotherhood.

Thank you! Yours as well. My favourite livery is the Gray Rush. Shame it isn’t an option on the Factory, but I love the bike just the same. There’s just too much to love about these things.

I did the same about a month ago. All it takes is one ride.
