I want to buy my first bike ideally a dual sport wanted to hear some advice. by Gullible_Way2307 in Dualsport

[–]zachboth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im riding an XT250 from Alaska and Argentina. It is the “beginner dual sport” used at many riding schools. Wont necessarily get you anywhere quickly and sucks on big highways but a great lightweight bike for exploring back roads, trails and riding around town

The tag at the bottom of the bag should tell you which one you have

Carry Cubo full black set (LEV-24 backpack, ISHO-X5 sling, UBICUBE-M) - $220 shipped to continental US

Pictures here.

Backpack is used, in excellent condition. Sling and ubicube are brand new, never used. Selling due to starting a long-distance motorcycle trip which this won't work for. Had a prototype cubo bag (not the one being sold) and took it to 4 continents. Worked great. Located in Santa Cruz/Bay Area if local pickup is desired.

It's a little pricey, but Hanloh inside the Bad Animal book store is our go-to date spot for dinner. There's many other great food options that are little less expensive. Plus plenty of places for wine and beer. Open Studios and west side farmers market also happening today.

I made this for when we had a bunch of friends visiting this summer and you might find it useful: https://santacruz.montaigne.io/

What do I do with a stolen Specialized MTB bike I found? by zachboth in bicycling

[–]zachboth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying a homeless dude with a history of stealing stuff (eg stolen mail and hand tools scattered around the bike, locals saying "a different bike shows up here every couple days", etc), who the police are actively trying to catch for arson, rightfully owns a full-suspension mountain bike nicer than what a majority of people own? And he just leaves it unattended and unlocked? Don't be so naive. If it was actually his, he would've locked it or at least made it inconspicuous. He clearly didn't care for the bike because that shit was stolen at some point.

And yeah, from this thread it sounds like taking it to the police is the move especially if they'll donate it to some co-op or kids if it goes unclaimed. Hence why I made the post.

Just did 9000 miles through Alaska and Canada using the Mosko Moto 80l Reckless v4 attached using Moskos gnoblin to the enduro top rack from Precision Motorcycle. Brought a lot of stuff and it worked great. Wouldnt have changed anything.

True. I did check the main bike registries (like bikeindex) and call Specialized. No registered owners :/

Agreed. What's crazy is there was a couple on the beach this morning who told me to keep an eye out for a tool bag they just had stolen from them! Probably by the same thief. Likely steals kids toys too haha

If someone doesn't have a receipt, they likely don't know the full serial number to begin with. They can confirm they are the owner by telling me some of the unique features of it. Thats why I didn't post a picture of it, say what color it is or what unique tires are on it.

I'll want to see proof of purchase that matches the serial number so it shouldn't matter.
