To contrast some of the comments here from people who’ve clearly never used one of these foldables outside of a display case, I’ve had my Fold 3 (the larger folding tablet style) for two years. I came from the Note and S lines, Windows Phone, and have bounced between iPhones. My Fold 3 is in great shape and has survived many falls. It’s definitely durable enough for me. I take care of it, but I get that some people don’t desire to take care of their devices and expect them to be exceedingly durable. Never had anything under the screen. Never take it to the beach unless it’s in a sealed ziplock. I take care not to put it in dusty environments or let sawdust or shavings get into it (hobbies).

Unfolded, it’s better than any other phone out there. Viewing videos enlarged or widescreen is great depending on video and application. During normal usage, the crease is not noticable enough to be a distraction unless viewed from a severe angle (think the person sitting next to you). Unfolded scrolling of Lemmy, the internet, and reading is a better experience than anything else out there - bar none, no argument. The screen is just huge and viewing websites in mobile or desktop is fantastic. It makes the web actually useable from a mobile device. I never use my Galaxy Tab anymore. Samsung does a pretty good job software-wise adapting apps to fit the foldable aspect ratio if a guveb app doesn’t officially support it. More apps are supporting foldables every day.

I would agree with the sentiment that the Z Flip line likely has a more gimmicky purpose. At least the Fold line functions as a tablet and is a decent phone folded up. At least, that is my experience with a Z Flip 3 before swapping for a Fold 3. But I’ll be buying foldables exclusively from here on out. After using the Fold 3 for two years, I can say it’s folding screen is definitely NOT a gimmick.

Great looking bike! I’ve been eyeing these!

No problem with my neighborhood!

I can’t comment on utility trailers because I haven’t really towed any of those around. I currently drive a Toyota 4Runner, which is notoriously underpowered in the engine/towing department - so it’s going to have a poorer experience to begin with. As far as my towing experience, I am pleased with the ride. It doesn’t seem to pull “too heavy” or suffer from as much wind drag as I was expecting. Drive thrus are not an issue. It’s <9ft tall. This one is about 4’x10’ with one axle. The V nose is nice because it gives a little extra room in the front. Side door is a MUST, IMO. It’s so much easier to get in/out and it’s nice to keep it open when inside and working on the bike. If you decide to use the bike as a garage, make sure the rear of the trailer is secured with jack stands so you can ride in and out without the trailer tipping backwards. I’d like to install AC power. For now I run a cord inside when I’m working. DeWalt work light hangs from ceiling via a RAM mount with 8.0 Ah battery. I’ve made a lot of changes since this picture was taken like installing a floor and adding a table.

I never would have DREAMED I would be using the trailer this frequently- even while having a pickup truck easily accessible. Motorcycle garage? Trailer. Large dining room table need bought/moved? Trailer. Helping family member move? Trailer. Going to a festival/airshow for a week? Bring the tent and the Trailer.

It also has four solid mounting D-rings that are on the sides of the trailer walls. You can make them out behind the chair on the right.

I would say get the trailer. It’s been my most cherished purchase in years.

I think the frame would help a lot - I was talking about the normal covers that you throw onto a bike/mower. I was really inspired by these across the pond. That $4k price tag is ridiculous though and is more expensive than when I looked a few years ago before getting the trailer. I think they were priced around $2500 but maybe I’m misremembering.

Another benefit of the framed covers that you are looking at is that they seem to have much thicker material that could really withstand some wind when paired with the frame. The reviews look fantastic with this one. It looks super sturdy and the reviews seem to reflect that it’s moisture proof. A little pricey…but it’s your BIKE! Only the best.

That’s awesome and not what I was expecting! I imagine most of them could pick it up? Any tips for swapping out 70-year-old men for getting women to talk to you? Delete even more chrome?

I love it! That’s an awesome banner for sure!

Looking back at this post from five days ago…when we had 17 subs and now are at 229 as of this comment. That’s like, a 1200% increase? Plenty of new posts as well.

Maybe one of those clamshell covers would be a good option! I couldn’t do a clamshell because the wind whipped off the lake pretty hard and already shredded other covers for mowers, cars, etc. So, I gave up on that idea quickly for where I live. But if wind isn’t as much of a problem, then I think a clamshell might work great for you! Do you ride during the winter or do you plan on storing it in the clamshell during the winter?

You can’t ask for better than that! Well done on the sale. There’s something special about those first bikes. Keep those pictures and memories forever! That Fazer8 is a good-looking bike as well. Big fan of the color palette on that one. Have you been happy with the Fazer8?

Thanks! I would do it myself, but even basic graphic design isn’t one of my skills! I really like how the community is shaping up here in such a short period of time. It’s only fitting we get a proper logo!

Agreed - something cool but minimalistic? Are we going the reddit route and incorporating the Lemmy mascot into the logo? A shrew/lemming on a motorcycle?

I can’t wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I’ve been a patient gamer and haven’t even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There’s going to be SO much to play this fall.
