I drive a ton, 50K miles in 18 months on this Escalade. It's a great car and I'll miss the hands free driving, but has anyone made this jump and been happy with their Raptor R?

I got a 2026 Indian Scout Bobber and man this might be the most uncomfortable bike I've ever ridden, hitting minor bumps on the freeway was brutal! Felt like hitting a speed bump 30mph in a shit box sedan!

I am 6'01" 210lbs - I adore the bike what modifications can I make?

On my list now is a seat and rear suspension, Corbin for the seat and Ohlins for the rear?

How much of a difference is this going to make? Am I going to wanna change the ride height by getting a taller seat? What about mid foot pegs?

To be clear, I'm not looking to ride cross country, but I am looking to be able to ride 100 miles in day, right now 20 miles was absolutely brutal!

Not gonna lie, my BMW S1000RR is far more comfortable than this... And my Triumph Street Triple 765RS... I could ride that thing all day...

I have a 765 RS which I love, but need a backup bike

I was thinking of getting a second 765 RS, or even a Ducati Streetfighter V2S / V4S, potentially even an S1000R

I find the Triumph very very comfortable, but worry about the Ducait or the BMW being too much sport bike for me

Should I get a second 765 RS or try the Ducati/BMW, if so, which?

I was fired from my job and don't have any desire to work anymore.

I am 29M and have $3.1M mostly cash/liquid and about 20% in retirement -- it's a clean number for example I include car loans as liabilities, but not their corresponding assets. Same with jewelry, personal belongings etc.

I am about to get married so have a $100K wedding to pay for, we don't own a home and fiance still works, but only making $100K

HCOL and don't own a home, no kids, but want kids.

Very tough spot to be in, IMO. I don't feel secure for the future, and probably won't until I hit $5M+, but I have no burning desire to go work again.

This is not a troll post, I am curious if anyone has a similar experience and can weigh in. Maybe I wait it out, sometimes best thing to do is nothing, and in 2 years we wind up at $5M, maybe there's some critical inflection point where I really need to get a job ASAP even temporarily to best set us up.

Curious if it's recommended to lower Testosterone dose when adding HCG since HCG can raise both Estrogen and Testosterone?

For example 160mg week Test, then starting HCG 250mg/3xweek

Would 120mg Test + 250mg*3x/week HCG = same result as 160mg test? Not asking about the numbers specifically, just the general idea...

I started about 8 weeks ago and want kids so I froze a few vials. Taking 160mg/ week, I feel great! 29M

We won't be trying for about 12-18 months, but would it make sense to start the HCG today, or in a year?

Is HCG more effective if started at the same time as Testosterone since the balls never turn off, vs in my case would be turned off and HCG is turning them back on?

Today, I washed them thoroughly with Dawn Dish Soap and brush with agitation, rinsed, then wiped clean with 70% IPA, after that I used a Festool Random Orbital Sander with 80 Grit and sanded both tires edge to edge, I went relatively conservative on this so a few spots that aren't fully scuffed on the edges where I never lean to, but still feeling nervous.

The tires have 1700 miles on them and they're OEM Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V3 Tires, would it make sense to just replace? Maybe go for the V4 assuming they're better? Not sure I am ever gonna have full confidence in these tires again...

Only thing I don't love about these tires is I read they aren't great in rain, I don;t go out of my way to ride in rain, but shit happens and I'd like to get home safely....

PLEASE NOTE I REMOVED LINKS BECAUSE THE MODS INSISTED I WAS TRYING TO SELL SOMETHING

I was riding my Street Triple 765 RS

I had just washed it for the first time using:

Meguiars D110 Hyper Wash in the foam cannon and then CarPro Reset with a wash mitt

I also sprayed some Carpro ReTyre Tire cleaner on the tires and then hosed everything down

I rode the bike about 20 miles, but there were a few instances on the highway that felt slick.

I stopped for an hour and then rode 1 mile, before taking a turn about 40mph, it was rated for 35mph

I braked before got to speed and lean and the front tire just started sliding out, I got the bike straight and rode off into the grass without incident

For now, can only think of a few things that may have caused this:

a) cleaning substance/residue?

b) tires weren't warm enough?

c) low tire pressure -- today was about 20 degrees cooler than it has been

d) some kind of damage from the bike transport earlier this week? When the bike was dropped off I noticed, he bike was on the trailer and the block preventing movement was compressing the front tire a bit, but visually everything looks normal, no sidewall damage etc.

e) some kind of fork damage from transport? They were compressed 50-60%

I guess there is always the possibilty there was left over of some kinda wash in the foam cannon that had ceramic or something from last time I washed my car, but no clue what that would've been and would've been very small amount

FWIW, when braking, after I got home tested braking hard and it was skipping, not biting

For years I've hardly drank any water at all, now when I drink even 16 ounces of water, I feel flushed with a headache. I know some will say electrolytes, but I never tolerate those well either.

I used to drink 1 gal+ of just plain water and felt just fine. How do I scale up? It feels like I'm waking up my body, yesterday drank 64 ounces and at night had a pounding head ache.

But also thinking maybe the kidneys are just flushing the water quickly since they are so used to operating without it...

What do I do today? Another 64 ounces?

I split my dose 160mg week into 2 shots, I have HCG but haven't taken yet, I've only been on Testosterone Cypionate for 6 weeks

I froze sperm ahead of time, but have read that HCG loses effectiveness over time, but my understanding is over matter of many years.

I am 29M and feeling really good, no sides, improvements are subtle

In order to plan to have kids without coming off the Testosterone, when would be a good time to start the HCG? It will be my first child.
