I’ve thought about that in the past.

Ahh, I was an Apollo user on IOS. Thanks for the heads up

For sure. I was not prepared. Dumping the GS a few times on some 4x4 trails is rough but that trials bike is wild.

The upside.. even street riding either of my other two bikes, I can feel the difference that training on the trials has made. It is just flat out making me a better rider.

I’ve never MX or anything technical really. Taken the GS and my old KLR on a few single tracks (easy ones) and some 4x4 trails. Haven’t ridden the 280 much, spending most my time just standing on it in the garage learning balance and practicing non-powered lifting and adjusting the bike using the shocks..

I’m old and out of shape and sit to much. The trials bike has been so awesome and riding for 45 minutes is like spending an entire day working out.

Lol. It’s a beastly little bike. I got no skills to back its ability, but it’s nice for practicing and hitting some trails.

That’s a great question. Is On Sync sports mode a Bot? I never watched the races live. I tried a quick search but the reddits talking about it are still dark (woohoo).

Bots on Lemmy are still fairly sparse. We are working on configuring one now for general moderation.

Was an interesting write up for me to read. Haven’t been to a GP so its good to see the process and how others experiences have been

Would this be something folks would be interested in for an ongoing discussion post? If it got busy enough we could create a dedicated community for it as well. I would be hesitant to split it off right now due to lower volume.

Synge=hectic are showing promise. Manufacturing cost has to come down.

The plan is to make a weekend a race discussion, I am working on getting a bot running to automate the process but as we get things going it will be manual.

As for race spoilers in titles we have not made a decision, May need to get a community vote going. I living in west coast US also dislike the spoilers but try to remember folks are pretty excited about their team winning. Not sure how I would vote at this time. Please think about it yourselves.

I thought it started right after he signed the last one really

I’d missed some of the talking points but that’s ok. It is a slow news week though
