The KTM 693cc single (‘19-up) is remarkably smooth IMHO. A second balance shaft lives in the head.

I mean...

Some of that is the shitters, but most of it is honestly just overuse. The more traffic a trail sees, the more damage it endures. Deserts are some of the most fragile biomes, so that damage gets magnified.

On a side note, trail maps for those of us that have color deficiency (color blind) vision just suck! Purple and blue lines all over a map are hard as hell to tell apart and the green lines are invisible.

I have trail ridden in moab several times and I have to say that there are still a lot of trails open. ATVs and SXS are the issues right now all over the country in trail closing due to damage. We jeep and truck owners did our damage and learned our lesson in the past. I will continue to go to Moab and trail ride in…

While I’m not familiar with the off-roading scene in Moab, if it is anything like where I grew up it can be summarized thusly:

As you look to reach that 3000lbs mark here is a thread about a guy doing the same that’s worth reading. I know it’s a later car but the ideas are the same and he has documented every step/price along the way!

My car already has a double-DIN aftermarket stereo with CarPlay. It’s WAY cheaper than the factory one. 

I go to the gym twice a day. I can do both.

The cheapest, and easiest way to cut weight is for the driver themself, to drop a few pounds.

Always baffles me that people are willing to spend thousand of dollars to lose 10 lbs of weight, when the same weight savings can be accomplished for free, with the driver losing that same amount of weight.

Why spend $3,000 on…

Had to be multiple drivers. Driver A is told get in the truck at 5 AM and to drive around and be at a center/charger by 5 PM. Driver B shows up at 5 PM and drives around and is at a depot at 5 AM where Driver A is pulling up to take the keys to the rig.

Simple Solution: Obedience School for Secret Service Agents. 

Commander is Joe’s most loyal protector. Clearly, there must be some sketch individuals at Secret Service, which—-after Jan 6th does not surprise me.

Thanks to Republicans

The US basically has legal bribery in the form of lobbying so unless a coalition of people can get together to outbid the automakers, oil companies, and other businesses interested in keeping cars on the road, there’s a fat chance that We the People can do jack shit.

WE HAVE THE LOWEST INFLATION IN THE WORLD.

I hate how this discussion always seems to be framed as if American’s just really love gas guzzling ICE cars. Like yeah, some do. But then there are the rest of us that just have a massive daily commute and no other option to make the 25 miles to work and back. There’s no bus or train that goes to my job, and I can’t…

“My personal beliefs mean that I can object to treating a patient.”

Well said. I have been union for 25 years and 6 of that a union steward and have talked to a lot of young men, filled with youthful overconfidence, that thought they could negotiate better than a union, did not need a union, Etc. When they saw first hand union protections from idiot, bad, bosses, they end up very…

Whenever there is a strike, these websites should do a write up about some of America’s most impactful strikes in our history. Pullman, Blair Mountain, and many more.
