I usually tend to be incredibly overly ambitious and land on something more reasonable.
I still want to get up north but that is a true and proper adventure for all the reasons you mentioned. It's just going to take a lot of time and a lot of talking to a lot of different people. For the fires that means I'll need multiple routes for each section, as well as bail out plans. I'll get it sorted but it's literally going to take me the 18ish mo, and even then who knows.
In a very expected turn, we're looking at a 2025 BDR as a shakedown for a 2026 trip up north. That far up we're looking at fuel drops, or at least coordinating with some private logging companies. I just don't see it coming together, and less so making sure the crew is prepped. I think a proper BDR ass kicking is a good idea first. I'm a decent enough rider, but I'm a better trip planner, and the key part of that is when you realize it's a bad line.
Thanks for the tip on butler. I'm going to keep gathering information and belching it out here because the community is small. But it's going to take a good long while to properly route that, and make sure everyone is ready in terms of advanced first-aide, extra parts... let alone the financial planning to make sure that can all happen (honestly that will be the miracle if it happens in 2026).
I know youtube has been selective about rollouts, but I use uBlock, sponsor block, and ABP in chrome and have had zero issues.
People who don't want to use the epic store. That was me. I just don't want another launcher, another account. I'll get around to it at some point I'm sure but I didn't buy AW2 and probably would have if it wasn't an exclusive.
No George Clinton was in parliament.
I never had an issue either! My gen2 KLR came with upgraded pegs (previous owner farkled everything, in the good way), and I just never liked them as much.
yeah they are one of those things that make you go "HOW much?!". Glad to hear more people say it's subjective. People would tell me the same thing you said, but I just don't like the way my foot "seats" when I transition from sitting to standing quickly, and I like even less the brake/shift control I have.
They meant "no where to put the power", which is true (although it's not a new problem by any stretch and there's a lot going on to address it).
Tabasco serves it's purpose. It has very little depth of flavor but there's a time and place for it. Like in this dish where you want some zing but don't want the hot sauce to overtake the flavor.
Not as great as it seems. The thing is, everyone's retirement is tied to real-estate. The numbers my vary country by country, but nearly all pension funds and mutual funds have significant exposure to real-estate that is just ignoring the issue that those properties may become uninsurable. That's before what happens due to the economic disruption of all those cities slowly, then at an increased velocity, relocating.
It's not going to be pretty.
So they get cooked using the heat of the pasta itself (/some of the pasta water). You have to be pretty quick to 1) make sure there's enough heat and 2) keep from making scrambled eggs.
