Got our first 2 around 5:30 (mom said she couldn't hold them back any longer). Turned the lights off at 8PM at 237. I bought for 300+ so we were safe. It was almost perfect weather for here, about 10C and not windy, which is not something to be taken for granted this time of year. Powershift posted:

McTinkerson posted:There are so many Duke 390 owners in AI. It's awesome! ( '19 Duke 390 owner checking in) Imperador do Brasil posted:Duke 390 is a stupid biek. Didn't realize I was in such good company! How do you find the low speed fueling? My only complaint so far is you can tell it's tuned lean as hell at low speeds and makes it all very jerky with weird flat spots until the revs get up. Lots of fixes out there from simple booster plugs to full on piggyback solutions.

I love that none of them were upset by it. Quite the opposite in fact. I mean, the one guy was a little down that he lost the spot, but not hostile or anything.

The only driver (so far) who has been vocally mad about it, also got fired for dropping the N-word on a stream.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Not that bad really Didn't LOOK bad, but from the in-car video you could tell it was pretty hosed (radiator for sure, suspension, steering). I think the suspension took the brunt of it. But as someone else said, they'd be stupid to fix that one. One of the few times a wreck makes a car's value skyrocket.

Advent Horizon posted:When we bought our house the realtor told us we’d be ‘ground zero’ for Halloween. The first year we got 18 pounds of candy and had zero trick-or-treaters. Turns out the next street over is the party neighborhood, with fire pits in the streets and fog machines filling entire cul-de-sacs. Applebees Appetizer posted:Not that bad really I thought the smoke was from body/wall interference or tires rubbing on stuff, not radiator, but I could easily be wrong. It looked like he put it into the wall as gently as possible and rode it, so hopefully minimal chassis damage?

This was always a scare tactic but some idiot actually went and done it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/halloween-nerds-candy-cannabis-edibles-1.6636570 I doubt it's malicious, likely someone got too high on their own supply and started handing out their own stash.

Hey guys! Guess who got Married this week! More pics to follow when we get them back from the photographer,.  And uh, I gotta say, the rental Challanger is really growing on me. I might be making even more poor automotive choices when I get back to PDX.

opengl posted:Didn't realize I was in such good company! I dealt with it by getting a Coober piggyback ECU. smoothed everything out pretty nicely and no hit to economy. Still getting about 67mpg. Might sell it in the spring though. Not sure how much I’ll be able to ride in the future since my new normal includes an 80 mile commute a couple of times a week, and my car collection keeps growing so I’ve got to drive those as well.

Well let me know if you want to unload that Coober separately  And yeah the mileage is kind of amazing. I was blown away when I barely put more than a gallon in it after hooning around for 75 miles.

I may have bitched about this in the past, but I still can't get past it. I've read a lot of books, I'm prepared for interesting pacing and an over focus on meaningless details, but I was not prepared for the beginning of the Fellowship of the Ring. I do audiobooks now and listening to songs, tiny hints, and minutiae for 10 hours to reach the Prancing Pony is a big ask. Took me a few attempts to actually get into it Also Tom Bombadil. Did Tolkien just put himself in his book as a empty headed god that hangs in the Shire and is married to the daughter of rivers, or is there stuff in the deep lore explaining how he existed before existence? Or just something that acknowledges what Tom claims about himself? bad_fmr posted:Make the track into a tunnel. Finally use case for the boring company. Oh, those guys. Sure, they're going to be the go to guys to design a complex of tunnels that makes the most of any potential turns and promises even more dynamic races, but with their sterling record? They'll just end up turning the entire width of the track they "improve" into one, single lane death trap that travels at speeds of up to 10 mph sometimes and has no way to get emergency vehicles to where they're needed

Took me a few attempts to actually get into it It is never discussed who or what Tom Bombadil is and yes it is just meaningless fluff that was removed from the movies for a good reason. You just have his word that he existed before the world pretty much and may come from the dark beyond like Ungoliant.

Oh boy this is a big can of worms. To some Tolkien people Tom Bombadil is important and him missing from the films is a real issue.
