💯 Agree. I am pretty happy over all with my Varg. On the business side, this is common practice among "tech bros" these days. Over promise, under deliver, screw the customer.

Think Tokamak.

Aren't they the same company? AI says Verge owns Donut Lab as a subsidiary.

I would probably go to $20k US for 11-12Kwh SS tomorrow if I could have that no problem. Well it might be that I put off some rehab on this condo. But I would rather die having ridden the future than fix up this place that I am going to give to my son anyway. He can do the rehab if I eat shit...

I would spend for sure. I hate liquid electrolyte, it is like medieval tech to me. Solid state would truly be mind changing and truly a revolution. And with increased density and lower weight those would just pure bonus as far as I am concerned.

Ya and I also get a little wary with the Nvidia like circularity schemes. Donut Labs is Verge is Donut Labs is Verge...

I have to admit I am pretty psyched if this is real. Remember in 2023 I was saying I thought SS might be closer on motorcycles that imagined and folks around here were convinced automobiles would be first. And SS would be long way off for MCs. What would really be great is if we could upgrade...

100.00 refundable deposit... Sounds familiar. You can get the old school lower range for $5K less. I am super interested in SS tech. But I think I would have to go to court and skip out on child support to swallow that $$$.

I hard shutdown and my MX-1 stays at charge or near abouts for weeks.

I think I have mentioned this to you before, not sure where you are in Maine, but I got my Starks from Motorbikes Plus in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Really happy with the service and attention from those guys. I bought my KTMs from them over the years and they were great with my Vargs as well.

Gasoline fires are dangerous as well. I think the risk of fire with my Varg is lower than with my gas bikes. My WR450 pre aftermarket fan would actually boil the gas. One day I came in from a ride and put my WR in the garage. My young son was in the garage playing, he came and got me a few...

I have installed the OEM grips many times on my Starks including on new throttles. Since my use case is Enduro and my bikes take a lot of drops. The original stock install is usually a pretty easy removal since they are just force fit on the bars with no glue as far as I could tell. I use...

I think those still get a lot of use in soft terrain and are still popular. For the rocky rooty stuff a lot of folks use the JX8. Mostly depends on the terrain you ride I think.

Interesting. Inoue/IRC is a Japanese company so maybe they have a contract to provide tires for Japanese European export. Most reviews here compare the IRC JX8 Gekkota to the Michelin Extreme and they mostly come down to terrain/choice and compare well. The IRC is slightly less expensive in...

Ahh good to know that explains it. IRC is very popular here in the US among HE, enduro, and trail riders. Agree with your point about sidewall the IRC JX8 would fit the bill.

Ya I agree the soft gummy would wear too much.

I am still wearing out the stock tires. But on my other bikes (KTM 300 2T and Yam WR450) I use IRC JX8s and ix09s which I also plan to use on my MX. The ix09s are a more of pure gummy, the JX8 are kind of a hybrid. Almost all of my riding is semi HE or single in northeast US which means mud...

Rules clearly don't matter one way or the other when it comes to delicious high quality food that is generally healthy. Lots of countries could learn from Italy on that. Look at the Brits they had to import Indians, Pakistanis, and folks from the West Indies to fix it... :ricky:

I am not sure. Maybe that depends on where you live. Here in the States at least, the first place that costs are cut and margins increased by brands on imported goods is by reducing quality control. And more, the weekend warrior who cracks his skull crashing into a tree with his ATV and...

Helmets can be a dicey experience and it is probably the most important gear choice a rider will make. Most of the major name helmets are made in one or two Chinese factories. They mostly differ in fit and finish and the up-to-date models typically meet the most rigorous specs. Like you, I have...
