I'm looking to replace the OEM shocks on my Bonneville 2008. I found some options like Hagon, IKON and Progressive, hoping to get some reviews from Bonneville folks who have upgraded.
I'm 175 lbs and usually ride solo, with the occasional passenger or loaded saddlebags. Do you have experience with any of these, or would you recommend another brand? Also, would you buy used?
I finally got a watch case and man, it makes a difference from having them all hanging behind the closet. Ultimately I want to get rid of a few of these and get a Speedmaster and a more dressy one, any ideas?
Bulova Lunar Pilot - Latest addition, got a pretty good deal on a street market
Seiko 5 Sports
Orient Diver - The oldest one, have had it for 25 yrs or so
Lambretta Rebel - Impulse buy from Gilt a while back
Nixon The Porter
Michael Kors - Don't ask lol
Digital - No idea what brand this is, but it's pretty cool
Diesel Blackbird - A gift from my ex wife
Casio G-Shock 3529
Q&Q Tank (?) - My late father's watch
I recently realized I want a camping stove after my last camping trip with my daughter. I'm debating between the Fire Maple or the Cofiyard double burner. I usually camp solo on my motorcycle, so I think the Fire Maple would work well for one person trips, packs smaller and lighter. My question is, would the FM be enough for occasional 2 people camping, or should I get the double burner -or both-?
I figure if I use the FM I just do the beverages first and then eggs or dinner after so it's not a big deal, just takes a little longer. Would love to hear your opinions!
Thank you to all who sent recommendations on my last post about Catskills camping with kids. We had a lot of fun, went to Frick Pond and even though the views are not spectacular (I think Hodge Lake would've been better) it was perfect level for my daughter.
Her ratings: 10/10 was chilling in the tent, 9/10 building a fire, 8/10 s'mores, 7/10 hiking, 6/10 fishing... 1/10 having to drive everywhere (she gets car sick). For next time, I'm definitely getting a stove and cooking at camp rather than driving for coffee and breakfast. Great options in town though.
I’m starting to take my 10 yo on short rides with me, I thought of getting a belt with handles or a backrest -for peace of mind-. Ideally one that I can easily install when I ride with my daughter and take off afterwards. The problem is I don’t have a fender. Not sure how it works, do they attach to the frame or to the fender? Any feedback appreciated!
Going camping with my 10 yo daughter in a couple weeks, we'll be near Livingston Manor so I'm looking for easy and scenic hikes not super far from our campground, and any other activities for kids. I saw Kaaterskill Falls is nice and Mine Kill Falls, but Mine Kill is almost 2 hrs away. Is it worth the drive there, or are there other scenic, easy hikes closer? Maybe around the reservoir?
