Selling a 16" Core15 Keymod Scout rifle. Only been shot to sight the optic in, shoots well very accurate. Has a Blackhawk stock, wearing a Monstrum 3x optic (something I won in a drawing, decent enough), single point sling. You can google the gun's specs on Core's site if you're particular. The only issue is a slight rub on the magwell that was there when I bought it, but so ya know. $600.

Yeah, the good part.

Not a fan of paving good scenic dirt.

I have a like-new Caberg Gara/Solo helmet that I picked up as a backup a few years back but never used. It's been stored in a cool/dry closet so I wouldn't hesitate to use it for another few years. Got it from a buddy who it didn't fit, but I went to a modular & DS style instead. Hate to see it to go to waste, it's a nice helmet with an internal visor, quick-release buckle and it's very comfortable. The size chart says 24"-24 3/8" and that seems accurate. The only thing wrong with it is one of the vent buttons on the top doesn't work right, it was bunged up when my buddy got it, dunno if it can be fixed I haven't tried. Helmet looks like this: IM me if you're interested, I'm in the New Albany area.

Took it off the market for a while, but still for sale. $400. Someone buy this damned thing before I decide to make into a project gun!!

Athens Sport Cycles is a KTM dealer.

I go with the OEM recommendations, air up if two-up or loaded for a trip. If I'm running extended gravel or really loose conditions, I air down 10lbs.

I hope everyone who has their bike stored already feels like a big fat failure. Damned awesome weather yesterday and today...got out and loved every second of it. Never hot at a stop, just cool enough for a liner in the jacket but not cold. Yesterday all of us out there riding waved at each other, but it was a knowing wink instead of a friendly gesture...it was all of us with some patience saying to one another "Hey, cool guy, I don't have premature ejaculation either. You rock. I rock. Look at us!"

My every day boot is the Fox Comp5 Shorty boot. MX-style ankle and crush protection, but still sneaker-comfortable. Best boot ever made, IMHO for normal riding. Sadly, don't make them anymore.

Fuck no, this is the best time to ride! Beautiful colors, no bugs, no sweating, no parades of slow ass fair-weather riders cloggin the roads. This state throws too many 50+ degree days at you through the winter to ever pack it up.

Yes, easily removed...takes the same battery as most of the other cameras like this, from what I can tell. Charge lasts about 2 hours give or take while filming.

If anyone is in the market for a more affordable action-cam/dash cam, I picked up the Sport Shot knockoff of the Hero off Amazon on a friend's recommendation (who uses these for quadcopter use). For $55, it's pretty sweet. Feature packed, 2" lcd, takes great video and stills, 1080p, 12mp, wi-fi and app controllable, easily swapped batteries, and comes with a boatload of Go-Pro compatible mounts. Very nicely built, too, doesn't feel cheap or poorly made. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014SIX4T8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 I am not in love with ride videos...for the most part they just suck, yeah, I said it...but I do love having a dash-cam running if some Somali shrew in a minivan wants to cut in front of me and put me in a wheelchair for legal documentation....and there's always an outside chance I'll do something awesome and catch it on film. Anywho, it does both those things well. In low and rapidly-changing light situations it shoots well and clear, and has decent sound. Features are nice, the wide angle is perfect and you can zoom to focus on one aspect pretty easy. It'd be hard to find a better deal on a cam, especially if you're going to abuse it or risk losing it. Here's some videos I shot on my commute at night, and some back roads with a lot of very direct sun/shadows (always hard on cheap CCD's). Youtube compression just sucks the detail out of it, but it gives you an idea...the 1080 source vid is very good. https://youtu.be/eRnuDD8KoAw

Individual anecdotes are worthless when you talk about brand reliability. One experience is not data, 10 aren't, but 100,000 starts to shape that Bell Curve.

Good choice on the Strom...great bikes, love mine. You'll make friends with it's aero quirks...it's a recipe of things, really, but mostly it's between your ears...doesn't even phase me anymore. It's a bike that will do most anything you ask of it, so have some fun finding its limits...gravel, light trails, touring, it's good at everything.

Clearly, no one's going to talk you out of your position...but again, the amount needed to reduce a pressure point is miniscule. Not .5", not .25"...more like .062"...usually less than that. That's probably under the variation of just normal shell/liner thicknesses between sizes (if you don't believe me, take a ruler to IP and start checking all the interiors minus the outer shell thickness). This is a non issue that's sounding scary too you, but you're not thinking about it in perspective. Did you ever pay an ounce of attention to your foam thickness relative to the shell size to ensure you had the maximum possible before buying a lid? If so, kudos at least you're consistent on this...but then you'd be missing that there's no standard for thickness nor does it equate to perfect transmission of force away from the head.

What data? To clarify what? I didn't say anything that would require data, just no-shit sherlock stuff about helmet foam thickness and shell sizes - easily verified by reading about helmet manufacturers or their processes. When a helmet breaks in from new (to not quite as snug as the day you bought it), and they all do, what mechanism is responsible for this process? Compression (lessening) of the foam. Anyone care to explain how taking just enough out to alleviate a hot spot is worse than doing it over time? If taking the foam down a tiny bit is deleterious to the helmet's effectiveness, then wearing it a lot is too. Data: Captain Obvious

Massaging (not shaving) the foam is not a big deal. Use a big spoon to forcefully indent the foam a tiny bit. You won't even come close to compromising the padding or its effectiveness. Likely you'll only be pushing it in 1/32 or 1/16" if that. Do a little, try the helmet, repeat/rinse until no sore spots. Done it many times over the years. Think about this, across many sizes there are only 2 or 3 molds and shell sizes - meaning some helmets have a thinner piece of foam than others. If reducing the foam by a tiny bit to alleviate a sore spot was a big deal, you'd see a foam insert and shell for every variation and size.

I had a 4" sheet of ice come cartwheeling off a furniture van in front of me on I670 one time...swerved and ducked and just held on...barely, and I mean BARELY caught the edge of my rear pannier rack as it came down (enough to scrape the dirt and some paint off it), but not enough to wipe me out. Scared the shit out of me.

Not a firearm, not an explosive weapon.

At least you're seeing it from all viewpoints (yours and yours).

Drive for a while, you'll understand why they do it. Option? Far right lane which may disappear, or cause an exit require multiple lane changes - easy in a car or on a bike, not always so handy in a 65' vehicle. Far left? Passing lane, need I say more about sitting over there? The lack of lane vision is a downside, but then drivers should be keenly aware of the 80,000lb, 12' high thing and not sit in its blind spots or have too much trouble maneuvering around it.

Very sad to hear, but damn...wear your fucking gear folks, especially at night in traffic. I'll drop a few bucks toward the cause.

I'll second the galfer recommendation. They are good rotors, better than EBC's IMHO.

Congrats, the 1k is a bundle of fun, enjoy it!
