And?

Yeah? Is your family proud of you? Or are you a secretly a loser like you reveal with this very response?

I’m going to keep manufacture local to the west coast, but yeah, price deltas are almost extreme in comparison.

Well I guess we’ve got the gremlin part right too 😂

They’ll just keep turning the screws tighter if you let them.

Don’t listen to their lies.

I actually didn’t realize this is a CalyxOS-only feature.

Kinda curious that other roms aren’t including the “VPN via hotspot” truck

Why doesn’t a thousand year old culture matter to you? They work on peace and understanding oneself, and have never varied from that goal.

What would make that non-valuable?

As @konna@sopuli.xyz & @Jojowski@sopuli.xyz mention, the GS series are great to learn and work on as my first bike. Thegsresources.com are a great group of friendly old-timers who really love their GS bikes. Check this out for a bunch of great photo tutorials: https://gsarchive.bwringer.com/bikecliff/index.html

I’ve since upgraded to a liter machine, but the 1984 GS450 I bought and restored over the pandemic (predecessor to the 500) still has lots of OEM parts available, very easy to work on, I camped with it, and felt stable on the highway at 80+mph. Takes any kind of gas, and ran like a top even after seizing the engine (and doing the restore work myself). I had a lot of fun painting the tank myself, open to all kinds of fun ideas, and she was light enough to mildly off-road with.

However: suspension and handling have dramatically improved in the years since. Safety-wise, newer bikes are better, but the low weight and “good enough” disc brake on the front will do the job if you have less of a lead foot than I do. The several rides I did up from LA to San Francisco and back several times went perfectly, no safety issues, lots of fun.

I sold my 450 to a friend from LA a month ago, he rode it right down from up here in the PNW, no problem. Good luck, ping me if you have any deeper Qs as I’ve done everything from making new wiring harnesses, new seats to new front/rear suspensions for the bike over the years.

That’s great! Didn’t get murdered by mosquitos?

My hammock has a rain fly and bug net to try defeating those little fuckers.

The ‘RR’ is killing me 😂

That’s awesome

Yeah no worries, I’ve seen them before. Just having a laugh at someone being theoretically confused 😎

I know what you mean, but that last line makes it sound like a regular backpack 😂

That’s pretty cool, love the paint job too 😁

Q: what are pitbikes actually for?

This is the truth, right here.

Oooooooooffffffff what the fuck

Just FYI, first ride with my moto 2, worked flawlessly even at 120mph/190kph on my degoogled phone.

Only addition was adding a silicone USB port plug, I know it’s waterproof but… Just a double-check.

Great little device, might write it up here.

Then go elsewhere.
