  1. https://archive.is/20261008004427/https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/10/07/trump-administration-paving-way-temporary-sale-some-unapproved-peptides/ No reason for this to get political, it's just opening the market a bit more. Which is both good and bad obviously.
  2. Part of the order arrived yesterday, part is due Tuesday. That seems oddly slow and I suspect it will arrive faster, it just hit an international hub in South Carolina.
  3. My truck is still in for collision repair so I can't measure it, and none of the AIs nor google can give a concrete number. They varied from 31 to 36", but with a preponderance toward 31-33. It would vary by wheel/tire size too, I have the larger off-road tire option (34" not crazy big). You make a good point and I'm certainly being paranoid about it. The chocks/rails in your trailer were very inspiring for this, BTW.
  4. Put it on your boat. With those lithium batteries you can run this no problem!
  5. The suspension can drop really low, so that helps. There's a trick I haven't tried yet, to give it Carolina squat. Unlike the Cybertruck, there's no button to have it do it easily. But the kneel mode is very low. I think what I'd need is a wide ramp for both feet down, and ride it up. Curved to avoid bottoming the fairing. Then into an automatic chock/rail. The tailgate supports up to 1k, so it's the best of both worlds. A short truck that can haul like a longbed. This is kneel mode suspension, it can adjust over 8" of height... And this is just low mode, great for a trailer.
  6. No, not all of us make up fake claims, LOL. Ah, 12v AGM batteries...still the Achille's heel of all cars. So retarded. I'm on my fourth set and they are no longer in warranty. When they go, I will replace with with sodium-ion.
  7. If I didn't have a battery failure in the Rivian that led to a 100 mile tow (on them), I would never have met an interesting ex-crackhead tow truck driver, discovered a Mexican hotel, and an all-black cigar lounge where I finally got the 90-year old Willy to try a cigar. "The fucking white boy did what we couldn't for years?"
  8. I'd be curious what it does go for. I have a barely thought through idea of having various motorcycles with me on road trips. I think I'd prefer inside the truck bed, not sure however. I'd like to have one-man load/unload, which for a XX is a lot of weight. Trailers add several compromises, but I'm not sure what sort of truck bed solution would work in the Rivian and be one-man safe.
  9. She really wanted the snake.
  10. I found that I'd get excessive dive and bottoming for my riding usage and style, which would be worse with lighter oil. 180 pounds and I generally ride tight to the tank with some handlebar pressure. Configured as HyperPro suggested as far as oil weight and level, all that is gone. You can of course keep raising the oil level to do some amount of compensation, but of course, this has some side effects and air can behave strangely.
  11. It's easy, but also, even easier and probably cleaner to use the tags feature. Both the posters and any mods can add tags. Your opinion? Pros for tags: Multiple tags possible for a thread like this that cross over many fixes. Cons: ?
  12. Probably true, but here, it's only available frozen, and expensive.
  13. I used this guide, maybe not word for word but to help me smoothly move through a spring change and new oil on the current XX. Can confirm, it helped a lot. Also, love the HyperPro progressive springs. I used their oil also. https://epmperformance.com/products/hyperpro-fork-spring-kit-honda-cbr-1100-xx-blackbird-sp-ho11-ssa001
  14. WTF? Why? Also NOW you fucking tell us, Moriah needed new ones a month ago. And for everyone else, excellent deal on a really excellent headphone. Don't fly without them.
