All

One helluva list. Asking just about anywhere you open your wallet usually gets you something. Our recent Viking cruise in the Mediterranean, while they didn't offer a discount on the intial cruise rate, all incidentals were tossed in at no extra charge. A cabin upgrade was one. The Verizon phone plan applies only to Florida residents.

The Rocket toon was my first post on Instagram. The rest are some of my late brother’s drawings and things.

Great granddaughter number 2 today. keep charging. 💪😃❤️💃

I rode my IT200 so much when i was a kid , that even I couldnt believe it never died. Never even did a top end on it. All i knew how to do back then was filter and oil changes. It just would not quit.

My BIL several months back had a cancer recurrence. The latest and greatest was Keytruda with something else. Potentially/likely curative. After second treatment his body started attacking itself. It was very bad. Hospitalized for 3 weeks and we are still not sure that the issue has been reversed. They were pulling his plasma every day to get as much out of his body as possible (among other things). Long story short, you may fix one thing but the trade off could be worse. Time will tell. Having said that, I have been blessed with exponential better results from my treatments...

Homage to Chance to get us back on fun, apologies if it was Joey who posted this first, but it's something Chance would throw down about now TM

Also, might surprise you to know Ares, our tortoise, comes when you call her also. TM

One off my neighbors walks her cat like a dog, not even a leash. It just follows along. Hilarious! Of course it still does cat things, like decide im just gonna lay down here for a while, I'll get up when im ready. Cats name is Sarah. Just the best!

We have 3 cats. They are indoor / outdoor cats. They go out after 7:00am when most of the coyotes are done with their morning hunting. Then my wife calls them in around 1:00. How any of our cats have not been coyote food is a miracle in it's self. We haven't seen mountain lions in the last 35 years but we still have an over abundance of coyotes, possums, racoons,... Apollo is the rodent hunter. Napoleon is he bird hunter, and Stormfly is the reptile hunter. They all are great, they do like to ambush each other when someone...

The lady and I made two trips down the Bentonville this year and rented e-MTBs(Santa Cruz Bullit Carbon MX) both times. Absolutely no regrets. Damn those things are fun!

Here’s the other one, it didn’t load in my first post. I’ve been riding about 4 times a week since 1999, being on these 3 are the most fun I’ve had riding. I still have my pedal bike I take out rarely now.

Just want to second Sumdood's advice to buy the killer one. I did the same for my analog bike and I ride the thing all the time. It's too trick to sit in the garage! Also, I wouldn't worry too much about servicing an e-bike. Your local bike shop can fix wheels, drivetrain (including the motor,) shifting, brakes, suspension and controls. All this whether they sell your brand or not. About the only thing you'd need to worry about is if you need to buy a new battery or controller unit if the bike brand and the electronics manufacturer went...

Great topic... Going electric was about making riding a bike fun again. I spent so many years riding road bikes and measuring my heart rate, recovery times, miles in road, calories, etc... it just too all the fun out of riding. Going eMTN bike was the best thing I've ever done. I did demo a few Specialized Carbon Levo's and a few other brands and enjoyed them. But they felt like bikes adopted to ride the dirt. Not like a dirt bike... I ultimately I went with an Intense aluminum Tazer S. Riding aluminum provided the feel - more like...

Maybe expand your thinking there instead of being so negative? I happen to have "Dead Butt Syndrome", atrophied hammys and decades old back problems with disks and alignment needing attention. I also had my knee replaced 13 months ago. Once I rehabbed the knee and spent time in the gym with exercises PT gave me previously for my back issues, I decided it was time to clean up the 30-year-old Miata MTB and see where I was at. Still can't make it up slight grades in my neighborhood without walking and no trails, just like when I parked the bike...

My 2026 Turbo Levo SL has Specialized SL Custom RX Trail Tuned motor, 50Nm power, 320W power + Specialized SL1-320, fully integrated, 320Wh Battery. My buddy is a longtime Specialized MTB owner and got his EMTB 8 years ago tells me I have the new gear drive motor and his has the old belt drive- but I have not confirmed anywhere. I have not experienced anything close to a loopout and it is very sensitive/intuitive to applying assist that is seemless. Also, it is supposedly limited to 20mph but I've had it up to 38mph on level concrete trail riding...

My OG Husky, Gorby, resolved cat-fights between his cat, Kirby, and any other cat in the hood…🤣 Gorby loved his tabby-cat. Any other cat was canon fodder to Gorby. Good times. 😎
