My dad(70) and I(43) are currently in Hawaii on an scuba diving adventure, he asked me if there was something I would like to do, and I ride but nobody in my family does, my dad did until he married my mom. My dad is fitter and healthier that most 20 year olds so I think health wise it’s totally in the cards but he would have to get his license and a bike and ride for a while, but not sure if there is someone who could share their experience with me?

Drove from the Prescott area over Mingus mountain into Jerome then Sedona, up oak creek canyon. Stopped in Jerome for lunch before heading home.

It’s just an anderson AM-15 A024, nothing to write home about per se, but absolutely worth the $20 raffle ticket.

I do a lot of car shows, and I win pretty often in the bike category, including winning at a Harley sponsored Bike show. Was hoping to see if Royal Enfield would like to sponsor me in some way with some sot of branding/signage/stuff to give away at the shows I attend. Figured it's easy advertising for them.

This is my X31, I bought it Brand new in box for WAY too much money (like $450?) 4 or 5 years ago. I love this thing, but it is sooo slow. it runs XP just fine, but a single core with only 32bit instructions means that even most modern Linux distros have dropped support. and heaven help you if you want to do anything on the interwebs.

I don't want anything powerful, just powerful enough to run enough modern web browsers, and at least 16gb of ram.

I do not have the skill set or the means to design a system board to replace the current one.

I would also live an IPS display. For a TN panel this one is really good, BUT it is still a TN panel. I wouldn't mind a little bit higher resolution, mostly to allow modern web browsers to actually display correctly on the screen.

and before anybody says anything, no, it's not anywhere close to using a box scraper. But for small quick jobs, especially after the rain storms to smooth out the driveway, and regrade where the water likes to flow, having a sleeve hitch with a little scraper makes quick work. I share a tractor with my dad, so we have to move it back and forth, I'll be using it for a big job here soon, but this job was done in the time it would have taken to go load up the tractor on the trailer and haul it over to my house.

this was a 2003.5 Mazda Mazdaspeed Protege I had (#2750/2750) It was a fun car, but it was a constant headache and needed something, and the parts that made it special were unobtainium.

I currently have all three in my hands, and being that these were released at the same time, have the same generation of CPU, and I feel like all have hit that price/performance level that makes them very attractive, I thought people might be interested in the differences between them. Let me know what questions you may have about them.

If people want to know about performance: The ryzen 5 is about 40% faster than an i7 in benchmarks, but the i7 iGPU is about 20% faster than the ryzen. I've tested a lot of laptops with this gen of CPU and that's the average I get.

I have a Royal Enfield 350 I’m selling for $3500. Someone offered to trade me for an Electra Glide with 75k miles. I don’t know anything else about it, but with that many miles, even with half decent maintenance, would I be taking on a project?

I’m selling the 350 because I need something to commute to my office 1-2 times a month that gets better gas mileage than my F-150, as the drive is 120 miles one way. I was planning on buying a smaller sedan for the drive.

I live in a rural area and the 350 is great to putt around town on and gets 90+ mpg, but doesn’t do highways. I have a bigger bike but it’s not comfortable on the 2+ hour drive.

Just wondering if I should entertain this trade offer.

Edit: it’s a 2003, maroon red. I’ll post the pictures he sent below.

I know people don't really consider them "jeeps" gut I loved the heck out of my patriot, and beat on it pretty hard. I eventually sold it after it was in an accident that it was never right after (was rear ended). But the CVT was pretty trash and the 2.4l had 0 power and got terrible fuel economy.

Smartphones are superior in every way, but I feel like these were a better tool, and less distracting than modern phones.

Guy I know has a dealer’s license, so trying to get a car bought at an auction. Got this video clip of the engine start up.
