I still can't tell if he's an extremely committed troll or just an idiot, since he's been at it for 9 pages now. Is there really a difference when nobody else can tell the difference?

I am absolutely sure they could spend another 9 debating that aspect

On that topic - anyone have any experience using the campsite host map? https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1Q0E6b5HrOVBOhOY2IwJkErfWqQU&ll=34.181280453764224%2C-114.73617860312493&z=7 It looks like a great resource but is also full of people who put their place up about two years ago and haven't posted since. (I'm about to head off on a US/Mexico trip next week.)

I've never used it, but I bet if you posted in the regional threads along your route, you could find a tentspace here and there.

I stayed with a couple different people when I was riding Chicago to Bellingham WA and they were all extremely friendly and interesting older people who enjoyed chatting and insisted on cooking me dinner. Also you better post your trip report because I'm thinking of a Mexico trip this year... what are you planning on seeing there?

Came home early due to a family emergency, didn't even end up getting to Mexico Incidentally we did stay with a couple on the tentspace map somewhere near San Diego and they were really lovely, welcoming people.

Since 95% of Vespa riders in the USA are middle aged dudes, this is actually going to cause the guy to have an existential crisis as everything he thought he knew about his sexuality is thrown into question

Speaking of partial erections and Asian women, can anyone explain to me why a trailing-link front swingarm isn't a horrible idea? Seems to me it would just amplify brake dive and have no other notable effect.

hack-a-day had an article about a guy who added a gear indicator to his v-strom by tapping into the OBD, neat stuff of course the comment section: posted:Things on bikes like neutral lights and gear indicators are fluff for non bikers. Once you have ridden around the block a couple of times you get pretty good at figuring that out on your own. Really no need for another geegaw. Than again I like my bikes really bare metal and simple. The less electronics the better. posted:I’ll also join this gang of cranky old men yelling at the whippersnappers to get off our lawn. Half the reason I commute on a motorbike is because I don’t need to disassemble the entire front end to change a bulb, or be ruled over by the haughty decree of an on-board computer, or read out cryptic sensor codes through the ODN or OBGYN or whatever the gently caress it’s called. It’s a bare frame with a fully exposed, dead-simple little motor which I can drop with a scissor jack and rebuild myself in a weekend. It’s got four or five gears, and neutral is in-between the first two so it’s really not hard to count. It becomes second nature. I detest even having a battery, what’s wrong with a kick-start and a magneto? posted:For those with the skill to listen to motor sounds, I am tone deaf to music but have a personal connection to any machine I have spent a few hours with, it becomes a basic part of knowing the machine is OK and when to follow the emergency protocol tree. posted:It’s nice to see hacks like this on hackaday, rather than “these scientists came up with this new thing, which is out of the reach of a normal hacker”. Or “this woman scientist was important for this reason”.

Salt the earth. Seriously , it's not even that they like things simple and bare bones. It's that they are afraid of any technology after they came of age, and too ignorant to learn. That and the rampant blatant misogyny.

I've left my bike in the wrong gear at high speeds for embarrassingly long periods of time because it was hard to hear engine with ear plugs and all of the wind noise and I just didn't pay attention to my RPMs. "Hmm, why's my gas mileage so poo poo? oh"

My gear sensor is messed up and my bike often shows the wrong gear when I'm in first or second, and sometimes third. I think it may actually be worse than having no gear indicator, because there have been a couple of times where I thought I was in third, but was actually in second, then down shifted unexpectedly to first. I had the new part in hand, then moved, and after I moved I couldn't find the (small) part anywhere. I finally gave up and ordered a new one 10 days ago, but it's Bike Bandit + Triumph so who knows when it will arrive.

On my Monster I remember just randomly upshifting on the hwy to double check that I actually did have it in top gear.

I've got no need for a gear indicator at all, but the idea of getting all elitist at someone for making one or even just wanting one is beyond old man yelling at cloud.

Gear indicators are good and all bikes should have them but those electronic aftermarket ones that run on RPM/speed sensors and aren't built into the gearbox are just the worst plebeian ghetto thing. Sad.

They seem pretty pointless to me. Putting aside the fact that it really isn't hard to tell what gear you're in by RPM/butt dyno, what value is there in knowing precisely what gear you're in? Don't get me wrong, a factory sixth gear indicator like harleys have is pretty handy to stop phantom 7th hunting; if it can display the other gears that's a free bonus I guess. I just can't imagine going out of my way to put one on a bike that hasn't got one. But I understand some people have a need to cover their bikes in needless crap. Different strokes etc. I want a bike made out of as few parts as possible, some people want a three page list of dumb features and I respect that. Also they give me money to fit those dumb features which, btw, are almost always horrible garbage regardless of how much they cost. In other words: Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Gear indicators are good and all bikes should have them but those electronic aftermarket ones that run on RPM/speed sensors and aren't built into the gearbox are just the worst plebeian ghetto thing. Sad. You'd have to be an absolute muppet to not want a neutral light though.

My experience with beta in particular, but also KTM and husky suggests that the engineers did not intend for you to use neutral. Thus a neutral light is not necessary because it is impossible to find
