Yeah, that sucks! I mean with quads or ATVs, I sort of get why, but still. Once you’re on the streets you’re subject to all the same laws, but there is always the temptation to rip it up a bit and then you’ll tend to get hammered worse if you were doing it in something like that.

I’ve seen a few over the years, but they all had the non-balloon, more streetable tires on them. Still very rare though, but I’m pretty sure it’s no problem to do it. Insurance might be an issue, but I’m not sure about that either. I’ve seen the side-by-sides, like Polarises, and variants of those ripping around too.…

Yeah, that’s why I mentioned that it was an XR and not and the XL-the street Legal version. The XRs were full dirt bikes and did well winning classes in races like The Baja 500 and 1000. I’ve ridden on similar XLs before, like the earlier XL 500, and it was more than enough to convince me that I wanted the dirt ‘R’…

Mine’s been sitting upright since I bought it at launch. It just works better for the area that it’s sitting in. There’s even a little base for it, but it’s one sided because of the geometry. I’m not using the base though. 

Wicked bike, but only a 100? Yeah, no. I understand very limited production run-offs, but oh well. That said, I’d so some highly illegal/kinky shit to get a crack at hooning one! Just tell me how many bodies need to be moved and where I can find the keys after that. Graphics and name, meh, but everything else, DROOL!

Agreed. I’ve never done a chickpea batter before, but have done plenty of lighter batters and I tend to prefer them as well. I ran into a paywall with the NYT article, but I can and will look around a bit for similar recipes. Despite the paywall, I appreciate the link drop though.

I wondered a bit about that too. Not about the cauli, but just the end texture. There’s always a quick fry job too. I might run this same recipe as written, but if that doesn’t work I’d probably just pour some oil in my wok (my preferred small batch frying weapon) and rip it through that. Sort of Buffalo teppanyaki…

Like it! Would like it even more if this gets made and by that time Torch will probably have some sort of upgraded batteries in the Changli and there can be some ‘epic’ low speed races where at least one of the vehicles might disappear into some sort of alternate universe if it achieves warp speeds above 40mph...

Hey, apologies for not getting back to you earlier. A bit of a seismic life shake up just took place on my end.

Asleep and intoxicated while black, contempt of cop while black, and attempted fleeing while black equals one more dead black person notch for the cops on their collective gunblets!

I was late too, but that sounds like a decent way to eff with people using a lame company and a probably over-eager and desperate sales rep!

This is the graduate level course of Quantum Butter Spreading On Shitty Dry American Toast that comes after the pre-reqs of The Advanced Thermodynamics of Water Boiling.

“Life Alert, help us! Our rude Senior Travels tour guide was so sick of our questions that he left us stranded on the edge of the Grand Canyon! I’m rolling and I cannot stop!”

Ha! looking at that wall o’ text, I think it’s more semi-coherent rambling with a few salient points than a tutorial, but anyway. Brevity is clearly not my strong point, but I’ll try to keep it a slightly more contained here.

Ok, here’s a LONG, LONG, but VERY basic primer that I hope helps a bit.

Vent warning followed by deep appreciation:

This is great! It’s so nice to hear some good news for once! I remember at some point in the relatively distant past (these brutal Trumpish years have thrown off time and space concepts) that you were sounding a bit stressed, so this is a vastly improved and happier sounding Fox! Awesome!

S’up, Sim! I feel ya doing something professionally and not being into in personally. I worked at a fairly large coffee roaster and despite working there, I am one of those weirdos who doesn’t drink it and I still never found my love for coffee. Not that I didn’t drink it there, as that was part of the job. I would…

Oh damn, trapped on a flight and flying too hard! At least it sounds like you were able to handle it well. I love my old timey Vapor Doc vaporizer. I always know how it will hit and it really makes even a small bit last for a very long time. And then the leftovers can be used for butter.

Hey, I remember having a discussion with you about vaping a good while back. Did you ever end up trying out some sort of vape system and if you did, did you like it?
