dmm698 Added a reply to New HD Truck Pricing Questions
1/7/2026 7:12am Always quick to blame the engineers....when its marketing/bean counters that really control everything. Belts a 150k mile service interval for 20-2022 LM2, and 23+ is 200k I believe. Agree entirely on staying away from the 5.3 / 6.2 gas engines in the 1500.

1/6/2026 6:06pm Have bought 6 new ones since 2016, all GM. LTZ, High Country, AT4. All have been Duramax. I've test driven the ford (25 super duty), and IMO it drives like a lumber wagon. You know you're in an HD truck. I have not driven the Ram, but in NY they always seem to be the first ones to show signs...

9/17/2025 5:59am I'm in the target area for your trip, not too far from Dilla or the compound as boom mentioned (They're scheduling has been slowing down as its been for sale, unfortunately). You've got quite the area to cover from what you've mentioned. For what its worth i've always wanted to ride Ciglione Malpensa. I spent a fair amount of time...

7/21/2025 11:50am peacock is the only app that causes frequent buffering, and reduction of picture quality temporarily on any of the Roku TV's in my house.

7/21/2025 11:44am Used to be on a separate track, and was a 2 day event (first motos friday / second moto sunday). It was a shiz show, no transponders, ect. For somebody who's familiar with how well red bud runs dilla would suck. I think this year they're running open practice friday/sunday maybe rather than racing? They opened the pro track up...
dmm698 Added a reply to Yamaha Ride Engineering 22mm triple clamps with Titanium bolts - $170 shipped !
7/18/2025 7:08am They're rigid mount, not rubber from the looks, correct? Really enjoying the rubber mounts on some stock 22mm 4 stroke clamps i'm running on my 2 stroke. Concerned about the additional vibration, even with rubber mounts they vibrate compared to a sewing machine 450.

7/17/2025 7:12am Do you have a yz250 stem around for them? Have 49mm showa so doesnt need to have the larger top clamp bore ID.

6/5/2025 6:36am CAD layout for the whole bike - Then simulation for various loading scenarios to view flex characteristics, safety factors, fatigue, probably then frame comes to life, would imagine strain gaged while riding in various areas to feed data back into simulation. Allowing for future changes to be made from a software standpoint rather than expensive builds. Engine laid out in...

5/27/2025 11:30am Freestone wasnt a National caliber track IMO..... Have attended in person to the national, have ridden/raced it as a squid on amateur day. Viewing at the wick is pretty piss poor in person sans a few areas but i'd venture to say its better than Freestone, and it isnt a bajillion degrees and humid. Last Freestone national I attended was...

11/14/2024 11:01am I use prospect for snowmobiling with photochromatic lense, it works real well at helping to define everything unless the light is really flat/overcast. I dont use them for moto because the slightest scratch really becomes apparent due to the light sensitivity .

They are excellent at going the exact speed limit in the fast lane no fucking matter what. I've never seen anything like it.

10/1/2024 6:05pm I’m aware of what type of profession it is. For the record I have no issues with blue collar work and it’s certainly crossed my mind to become an equipment operator or carpenter. Yeah stuff is expensive and inflation is real. All these major labor increases are met with cost of goods increases to maintain margin. Buying power then shrinks...

10/1/2024 5:59pm 39/55$ per hour east/west coast which is roughly 83/115k annually, before OT from what I’ve read. East coast at 83k is the one on strike.

10/1/2024 12:47pm In what educated profession is 10% YOY for 6 years not drastic? In what Laborer profession is 10% YOY also not drastic?

8/28/2024 12:38pm I kind of Disagree - I cant speak to the offroad side, i'm sure somebody can. But within 1-2 hours of DFW you could be at what seems like 30 different tracks. I only spent 1-2 years there but the amount of riding, and good riding at that was phenomenal. Dirts really good too.

8/15/2024 8:10am Shouts Legit, and what I use if i'm not feeling lazy. Simple green (and while I didnt look at an MSDS for AWESOME, i'm sure its similar) is not PH neutral, and will dull and discolor decorative Ano (the fancy finishes on all the bling parts people buy). Simple green in an ultrasonic cleaner absolutely ruined all the zinc plating...
