Of course a minute after I walked away, the jacket it was sitting on shifted, and the sun got out of the view. Still kind of neat, though. I didn't notice the camera shifting, because I was too distracted.

Tried to see the eclipse, but the moon was in the way. I was located out of the path of totality, about 400 miles south. Displaced like that, it was like someone just hit the dimmer switch on the sun. Lots of thin-to-thick cloud cover too, so, not ideal for seeing much of anything... It was kind of cool to ride to work in those kinds of light conditions, though. Felt like riding through a 70s photograph.

I drove nine hours each way to get to the totality. No way I was going to ride that distance. Totally worth it though.

Scooter people often have that particular type of brain damage that makes them spend the same as an actual motorcycle on parts that make their 4hp scooter have 5hp Admittedly in percentage terms it's a more effective upgrade than any exhaust fitted to a big bike

the absolute best bang-for-your-buck power upgrade you can do is: buy a bike with a more powerful engine. power doesn't matter though. the other day i followed a kid wobbling very uncomfortably on an R6 on the way to the university. i passed him at about 40 miles an hour on the outside of a turn (two lanes) with one hand on the bars of my CL350. he seemingly got upset at this and blasted past me when the road straightened out. you go man Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Apr 12, 2024 |

I woulda said lose weight (although that's predicated on being a walking ball of dough like me)

well, that's not technically a power upgrade. definitely that's the biggest bang-for-your-buck weight reduction mod though. if you take a dump before you ride you shed like 10x as much weight as the flimsiest milled out brake rotor will get you

Yeah but have you considered the rotor is both unsprung and rotating??

Good thing you can only fly drones towards the back of a motorcycle and not the front or sides. Real bullet dodged there, Russia

As scout and dispatch vehicles, certainly. They were all over the place in WW2. As assault vehicles? Not really that I'm aware of. You have no armor and you can't shoot while riding. Maybe if you had a guy in the sidecar but there are not that many real life combat situations where it's a good idea to be running all over the battlefield while shooting instead of plinking from behind cover.

Excuse me, Yes I know the idea was to dismount and put the gun on a tripod, but where's the fun in that?

As someone who was conscripted to crew armor in peactime decades ago, this is still nightmare fuel. ATGMs are scary as is, even worse if they can move about faster and more nimbly than anything else on the battlefield in silence. We never practiced against simulated drones because they weren't a thing back then but simulated ATGMs kicked our asses on the regular.

For real. I've broken two Hondo Garage vibration isolators now. I don't use it on my road bike anymore so it's relegated to dirt bike duty, both trails and dunes. I guess that's more stress than it can handle. The first version was just sitting on these steel wires, which break  They sent me a replacement which broke after a few months as well, again one of the wires  Maybe I'll ask for another replacement and sell it, idk. I won't put it on another bike of mine.
