    Oculus Quest 2

    I’m curious to know from those that have the Oculus Quest 2. Is it any good? Is it worth it? I’m interested in using it for FPS games and exercising. Thoughts? What games are really worth it? Like the fact that you don’t need a PC or a console. Don’t like the fact that you need to be linked...

    Car oil change

    I changed the oil of my car back in March, since then I have barely driven any miles. My question is should I change the oil again as according to the sticker it was due last September or go by the miles recommended? Thanks in advance :thumbup

    School me on drones

    I'm interested in getting a drone to play around, nothing for commercial use. I believe that anything under 250 grams you don't need a permit, test or license. There seem to be some apps that show you the airspace's where you need to be careful to fly. I'm looking into the FAA's website to...

    Not sure if this is the right place to post, if not mods please move to the right location. Yesterday my closest childhood friend died in a motorcycle accident. Don't have any details yet but the reason I'm posting is because I'm having a hard time coping with his loss. He's leaving behind a...

    Selling my leased car

    I hear it's OK to see your leased car before your lease term ends. I have tried looking in youtube or a google search and cant find much. I have a lease that ends in a few months but I want to sell is before. I know I can sell it for more that the payout but I'm not sure how. Do I need to buy...

    Auto balloon loan vs lease

    I’ve noticed that some credit unions are offering an auto balloon loan (sometimes called better than a lease) with payments very loose or the same as to what a lease monthly payment would be. I have a lease expiring soon and I’m starting to look for options. Anyone on the same boat? Anyone with...

    Moto GPS

    I'm looking for a GPS for my bike, something that preferably runs on battery so I dont have to do any wiring. So far I'm leaning towards the Garmin Zumo 396 LMT-S and the Tomtom 440 or Tomtom 550. Any thoughts or recommendations? The reason I prefer not to use my phone is that it runs out...

    DRZ400SM Stock Handlebar Angle

    I'm wondering if anyone has some guidance on what could be the best angle to setup the handlebar of the DRZ for a tall person. I have already changed the seat to an SDG tall seat but the handlebar feels strange. It is currently set for the mid range (3 I believe) which seems to be the same...

    Who really rides in the winter?

    This past weekend I went to a ride and I was surprised to see that most of the folks riding were riding cruisers or Harley's but no sport bikes or dual sports.

    MRD header fit

    I was installing the MRD in my bike last night and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but after removing the stock header and placing the new one, first never hear the famous POP. I wiggled it for a while until I gave up. The gasket was in good shape so I reused it. Took some photos of...

    We were just informed my mother was diagnosed with FTD (Frontotemporal dementia). she has been suffering from depression for a while but things were turning to a bad direction since Christmas.
