It's disappointing that some of you think harsher penalties would actually work. There are countries that chop off a hand for stealing and yet they still have a lot of crime. If people are desperate enough it doesn't matter what the punishment is. On the opposite side, there are countries with extremely liberal penalties that have some of the lowest rates of crime on earth. Addressing the root cause of crime would be a lot more effective at preventing it than fighting over the penalties.

I'm been following this story the last few days and find it very interesting. "The US has been urged to disclose evidence of UFOs after a whistleblower former intelligence official said the government has possession of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles. The former intelligence official David Grusch, who led analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP) within a US Department of Defense agency, has alleged that the US has craft of non-human origin." Even Rep Tim Burchett agrees. https://twitter.com/HighPeaks77/status/1666772506206666753?t=trkxo9eL7d8c5iAqpk5Oqg&s=19 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jun/06/whistleblower-ufo-alien-tech-spacecraft

I got so annoyed with their website that I still haven't signed back up. There is really no excuse in 2023 to have a website that dysfunctional. Especially when fundraising is key to your existence.

I'm not sure what the truth is. The documentary I watched didn't paint him in a great light either. I realize that might be biased too.

My friend lives in the town where this occurred and says that the way we've portrayed this guy doesn't match reality. He claims the guy was an ass and that everyone he has spoken to has only negative things to say about him.

I found a place to run a ratchet strap through the middle that only touches the frame. I added a bungee cord to the rear wheel to keep it from lifting. Cycle Gear didn't have any wheel straps in stock. Now it feels even more secure. Think this is secure enough for a 35 minute drive to Windrock tomorrow?

I don't see a place on my bike to do this. Haven't found a way to run it through the swing arm either.

Do they sell these blocks or do I need to make one? I do have a fork saver to help protect the fork and keep them from compressing when I hit bumps like you describe.

It feels fairly secure right now. I'm using the pull tight straps you mentioned. I'd feel a little better if I added an additional strap somewhere. I think I might be able to get one across the swing arm but below the chain. I'll mess around with it tonight and see what I can come up with.

Well, I have officially moved up to gas. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about missing the ebike. It was just so easy to ride. Everyone that rode it, loved it. This 2021 CRF125 Big Wheel was ridden so little it still has the hairs on the front tire. Anyways, Does anyone have a suggestion for strapping this thing down? I don't see a good place to run a ratchet strap through the middle like I did on the Talaria.

Visiting my friend in Fentress County. They all agreed the Talaria is more fun than the ATV's.

Post the link please. I'm under hotline and still don't see an option to renew.

Yep. This website is terrible. I haven't found the link to renew my membership that lapsed.

Recreational pot smoking is no worse than recreational drinking. In fact, I'd argue that alcohol is worse for the body in just about every measurable way. Eventually people will realize it doesn't make sense to criminalize it any longer.

Wouldn't you still have maintenance like brakes, ball joints, tie rods, shocks, etc? Aside from oil changes it seems like maintenance would be about the same. Granted, I realize a lot of people don't actually replace their suspension components like they should.

No pictures?

Unpopular opinion coming. I would carry your G43 and buy bear spray.

At this rate I'm expecting someone to claim they pocket carry their Desert Eagle.

If I started wearing overalls I could cancel my plans to get a vasectomy. My wife would quickly lose interest in me.

Dropped the price. Also, if anyone has a 125-250cc dirt bike they want to trade, let me know.

I had the exact same thought.

Toyota is having issues with the new Tundra. Several blown engines from members on the Tundra forum. I agree quality has declined but I think that's across the board. It's all about maximizing profit. OP is looking for a used truck around 30,000 which would work for an older Tundra.

Everyone that answered with something other than Toyota is just wrong. Jesus will forgive you but I will not.
