My parents got me one to use on motorcycle camping trips a few years ago, and it's so handy. I'm thinking about one of the larger ones to keep at home.

I had to clear the app cache and local storage before it would work. Cache alone didn't work.

/r/snakes was surprisingly active given our fairly niche position in the greater pet community.

Liftoff hasn't acknowledged me as logged in when voting or commenting for the last day, despite showing it on my user tab. I'm assuming that's related to the recent hack, but I've tried clearing the cash, logging in and out, and restarting the app with no success.

One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70's moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.

 

My 2017 Africa Twin in the Parque Nacional Huascaran in Peru, 2019 Tuono V4 Factory on a random Tennessee back road, and 2012 Daytona 675R in its home environment at NCM Motorsports Park. Pretty big fan of my little collection.

You can change the tap/swipe behavior in settings.

 

Hello fellow motorcycle fanatics! I wanted to make a plug for /c/trackdays, a community I formed for anyone interested in getting into track riding and/or club racing around the country. The subreddit of the same name has been a great resource, and I'm hoping to build a worthy counterpart for anyone that's migrated over to Lemmy. I've compiled a pretty extensive list of track day organizations, racing schools, and sanctioning bodies for club racing, and I hope it'll make a worthy addition to the motorcycle-focused communities on here!

28 is amazing, and usually less populated than the Dragon. The Cherohala Skyway is also stunning, and makes an excellent loop with 129 and a couple of other great roads. Hard to go wrong out there.

I rode the BRP+Skyline Drive from Cherokee to DC at the beginning of May, and other than getting caught in a freak snowstorm my second day, it was one of my favorite rides I've ever done. It's easy to get into a kind of zen flow when you're the only one on a road like that.

I've owned four VFRs in my life, the last of which was a 2007 Anniversary edition that I bought in 2015 and sold to one of my best friends to fund a trip. He's made a standing offer to sell it back to me and I'm having a very hard time not doing it. I still maintain the VFR is one of the best all-around street bikes ever produced, especially if you sort the suspension.

Hard to have a bad time out there as long as you stay upright. I live about three hours away and if I want to kill a weekend, I'll ride out, camp at the motorcycle resort, and spend it getting lost on the back roads.

So far wefwef has been my favorite. It's a web app and has to be downloaded through Safari or Chrome, but it was made by the developer of Apollo and is very similar the overall experience of using that. Liftoff is a close second.

iRacing has driven (heh) the vast majority of my PC upgrades over the past few years. Changing from monitors to an Oculus had me upgrading GPUs back in 2017, I got a 3080 two years ago which let me upgrade to a Reverb G2, then realized I was getting CPU-bound fps drops so I ended up with a 5800X, all in the interest of higher settings and more cars on track at once. Unless someone comes out with a worthy upgrade to the Reverb, I think I'm set for a bit.

Probably in the interest of wartime expediency and to the need to dodge U-Boats.
