    @Cruizin - Did the file size just change for posting photos?  Yesterday I noticed the allowable file size was much smaller than normal and today when trying to attach a photo, I keep getting warning telling me the allowable size is 0.44mb.  "Accepted file types gif, jpeg, jpe, jpg, png · Max total size 0.44MB"

    I had to lower the resolution of photos in my phone, and then still had to resize them in windows to the point that they are barely legible and just larger than a thumbnail.

    Thanks, Brian

    Regular members have a limit on how many photos we can host and how much bandwidth we will serve up. Sorry, but pic hosting gets real expensive and Im already footing a heck of a bill ea month. You can go in and delete some older pics to make room. You can also host them somewhere else and come back and post the links here and they will auto populate. 

    Any Idaho owners here?

    We had a blast! It was quite a unique experience, and the people were amazingly friendly. 

    My Neighbors came here for a game from San Diego, liked it so much they sold their home there and moved here six months later. Boise is about 70% Ex Californians.

    I was sitting in a customers home, wearing latex gloves and shoe covers, negotiating a big fat sale and commision for myself and out of the blue the house just started shaking and rocking and rolling. It totally freaked them out, they starting praying and they think it's the end of the world. 

    No sale or commision for me.

    If this all blows over and you decide to buy at Power Motorsports after all, let me know. I only live about 30 minutes away and it would be fun to ride up, say "hi," and maybe guide you on a couple local twisties. 🙂  

    Will let you know for sure!

    I'd much rather have a Zero Electric bike. Better charging and range for a lot less money. Zero is actually built in the USA.

    In fact the Zero makes more power, is faster, is lighter and costs a lot less money than the Livewire. I have no idea why anyone would buy the Livewire over the Zero.

    The Zero SR/F makes 140 lb-ft of torque, which blows away the Harley’s 86 lb-ft.

    Yeah. Guy was weird. Wrote me up. Saw me put my ear plugs back in, helmet on then pulls up beside me and starts talking. I say hold on and take everything off again. Asks me if I like hot springs. Said I'd never been. He points behind me. I guess they were down some steps from where I was at. Wrote me up and then small talk. Geez. I know, maybe he was hitting on me. Ha. Weirdo. Lowman looks like it could be Kentucky. No offense.

    Some amazing single track in Lowman. Got a cabin up there.  Kinda of Kentucky, but pretty cool people actually. Mostly Bosian's trying to get away from Boise. 

    And yes, he is weird. I expect him to go off and shoot some people when things get rough, and then stand there and talk to them as they bleed out.

    That looks good. I've been to Lowman and then back down 55. Got a ticket on that ride my first month here. Ouch.

    Was it the state trooper? He got me last summer coming down banner summit. Rumor is that he gave his own mother a speeding ticket. He lives in Lowman. 

    Are you on the Facebook group chicken strips and lattes? It's a local ride group.

    I used to attend an annual "Ride to Eat" event in Horseshoe Bend called the Chiliburger Run. There's a riverside restaurant there that made a pretty awesome chili burger. Looking at Google it appears the place is now called "Locking Horns Riverside Restaurant," I don't recall if that was the name when I went there, so maybe it's changed ownership. 

    This pic is from the 2003 event. That's my TT600 in the foreground.

    I eat there all the time, Its 30 minutes from my home if the road is clear. An awesome spot!

    Maybe next year, I'll organize a western ride event here .

    This summer, we will be locked in our homes, waiting for the military supply drops.

    They forget where they are.

    While sitting at your computer, maybe enjoying a beverage it's easy to forget that you are conversing. 

    A lot of thoughts and intended emotions don't translate well over text.

    @Cruizin would certainly know better than I, but I have found this forum pretty well behaved.

    On other forums that I've been on, the temporary ban hammer was swung on a regular basis. 

    Just my $.02

    YMMV 

    we rarely have to ban anyone. I do ban people for phucking with our volunnteer moderators, cause they were all hand picked for being really cool and rational people.

    I was gonna buy from Power Motorsports thanks to the recommendation above. But now I'm looking at the possibility of having to take two unpaid weeks from work if/when I catch this virus. I have money saved up to cover two weeks, but that cuts out of my "New Bike" budget. 

    I want the new Ninja, but would sure as hell settle for a 2019 model at that price after this sickness hysteria is over. I'm done with ADV bikes. Too tall, without the ability to actually take em off road. I was thinking about the Tenere 700, but its too freaking heavy to take off road or on trails. 

    There is no "one bike fits" all solution for me. I am on a two bike limit so I'm going with one true dirtbike for trails, and a sports tourer for commuting and canyon carving. 

    What I like about the ninja 1000 is that I can lean forward for the Canyons, but can also sit up straight for around town and highway riding. I have short legs, on a dirtbike that means leaning the bike over to put one foot down when I stop. But on the road, that sucks at every traffic stop on a tall ADV bike.  I'm 5' 11" , with 30" inseam.  Tall trunk, short legs.
