I think their average user fitness level has tanked with their popularity. I did the into course but never went regularly after. The arbitrary workout plans put me off. How much they encourage you depends on which one you go to and the group that attends. Is it month to month or on contract?
There's plenty of apps/websites that will give you daily workout plans. I looked at 8fit that starts off a base fitness test.
Maybe the sites changes are slowly turning it into Grinder and like boiling frogs we don't notice till it's too late. "Activity" feed, "Epic ride", Instant notifications, little hearts, Mobile. friendly. pictures.. Oh god.
Krogers has sleazily replaced their store brand mozzarella and pepperjack with "cheese food" at the same price. Dark package, Mozzarella in large white font, processed cheese food on smaller dark font
Couldn't resist an oberon clutch slave off a parting out bike for the price of a used oem slave. I had decided against aftermarket ones as I didn't really want to take more lever travel for the easier pull of the bigger piston with my average sized hands that find the hydro clutch easier than any cable clutch I've had already. I have CNC levers on 2 of 6 setting. Then this one popped up, and the oem's are known to start leaking and I could easily sell it for what I paid.
Installed it during this warm snap and got one ride in. Supposed to be 20-30% easier and equally longer engagement. After installing, it felt the same bare handed but riding with gloves it did feel easier. Being used to the old one's pull I'm trying to get over the subconscious "must be air in the lines" every time I pull it . Maybe after use it lubed up and got a bit easier... I do feel more confident moving my thumb for signals/horn while holding the lever in. I didn't take any time to play in the engagement zone and pretty much rode naturally. The only times the lever bothered me before was getting stuck in backed up stop and go traffic.
Neutral did seem a bit fiddly to catch. Later models got a smaller clutch oil jet supposed to improve that if I can't get used to or make an adjustment.
I've only been to city auctions. I would say the the state auction would be more upfront than any auction house where seller can refuse low winning bids.
I did go to one with a lot policy that vehicles had to be trailered away even if they ran, you paid in full , and got it registered before picking it up
