No shit, Sherlock.

My point was the trade-off of pissing off everyone around you for the added benefit of seeing 1/2 mile down the trail. Unless you're riding 200mph, I suppose.
I ride solo. almost all my old riding partners are dead from accidents OD's and suicides. the only person I still occasionally ride with lives in Durango. I never see anyone else out here on the trails at night damn wussies.

Figured out it was so cheap. Guy lives in a brand new, $1.75mm house on the hills outside of Boulder. Has a brand-new Sprinter camper, two nice dirt bikes, bunch of nice road bike, etc. He just did care and wanted it gone. It's effectively brand new.

What weight rear spring are you running? 2.5 stroke?
75mm stroke, have a 434lb on there now and a 411lb in the toolbox. Ohlins site had me right at the edge of both for my weight....though I tend to ride on the harder side, so the 434 will likely be right.

My training was pretty cool, but I have A LOT to learn. Today was about optical path. The Geode system takes 1 400w CO2 laser, splits the beam into two, then uses those beems to drill tiny holes crazy fast. We took a bunch of the covers off to see the various mirrors and lenses used to do the thing.

@stoney is that one of those hot dog sawz???
Wonder how well it would work scooping out the insides of a wagyu hot dog.

That looks very similar to our laser setups, except we shoot people with ours.

Holy hell, my neighbors van was stolen last night. We have had folks take shit out of unlocked cars in this hood, but a whole Honda Odyssey is a new level. :rofl:

Of course you have to either leave the key in it, or in the truck next to it. But still bold as shit. And to think we are the only hood with an HOA.
