Thank you.
Yea i see that fag is sucking all the dicks in the world, but dont get your jimmies rustled. Put your name back.

Yeah, angry anon always wants people to crash and die.
>>14042086

I'm getting this >>14042125 feeling. It seems like you call anyone who disagrees with you "angry anon". Hell it was my first time posting in /dbt/ this year like three days ago and I corrected you on something and you started going on about how I was "angry anon".
As convenient of a theory as it is there probably isn't one person who rabidly hates you and is responsible for everything you don't like.
>>14042152

Daytona 350cc
Saw it sat on it, piece of shit... But it uses 3.5l per 100kmh and it looks noice for a cruiser.
>>14042169
I did choose a good day to go over that creek haha.
And Idk if i will sell it, over the past 2 years i have kinda fallen in love with it.
Tempted to cut my losses and just keep the thing, it was only $6500 dollarydoos, i have wasted more money on bikes before lol.
>>14042195
6500 bucks, that is steep...
>>14042191
It was a bit uncomfortable at first, so I changed the seat to the original. Its actually a 125cc, I only have A1.

Not really i could sell it today for between that and $8500, i have only ever seen one other 2011 special edition in Australia (it is a Japanese import)
Heck the one in pic related has twice as many kilometers on it as mine has and it is an ABS version not a 2011 special edition.

>>14042251
I'd like a supermoto at one point, but first I want a bigger licence. Before that, I have to get a car licence.
Maybe in a few years...
>>14042225
>>14042235
Realistically you'd be looking at closer to 6.5 than 8.5. The only advantage yours has is the brakes even then it doesn't have ABS.
>inb4 it has three pistons because ABS
It uses solenoid valves to regulate the pressure not a piston.
>>14042248
;_;
>>14042265
No they use pistons lol, my bike has the same calipers as a fire blade.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6kO6ltk3a0
The only time you really want ABS is in the wet and no one really rides in the wet where i live, hence race tyres on a bloody cruiser.
>>14042269
Send monies before you die plox
>>14042277
Alright that bike then but those are probably 'the' piston regulated motorcycle calipers on the market. Everyone else uses valve systems.
On a valve system the stopping power of an ABS bike will be the same but with the benefits of ABS. The only time it'll ever actually kick in is if you were going to lose it anyway.
There's pretty much no reason to opt out of having ABS.

I kind of assume this is bait but most motorcycle ABS systems won't come on unless you would've locked anyway. 99% of the time they're the same as normal brakes.
>>14042292
Sure there is, if you live somewhere that nice weather is more common than a rainy day you simply do not bother riding your bike on wet days so no need for ABS.
I would rather my brake calipers have extra room for more stopping power in the dry than less room so they simply can not lock up in the wet, thats all, i am not trying to say ABS is viewed as a bad thing where you come from.
>>14042322
>unresponsive
It's not 1995 anymore
>controlling it yourself
desu I don't trust myself to be able to stop perfectly every single time. ABS doesn't engage until you fuck up anyway
>>14042332
do any bikes have ABS on the back brake lol?
that one would piss me off, i like locking my back wheel up.
Dont you want a dusty murder goldwing?
>>14042331
>extra room for stopping power in the dry
wat? This doesn't make any sense
If you're braking and hit a patch of gravel or whatever then ABS is basically your lord and saviour
>>14042332
>>14042330
>>14042327
Really? It's so great and better than controlling it yourself? Is that why motogp riders don't have ABS?
Checkmate 250faggots. Fuck off out the thread this is for actual motorcycle enthusiasts.
>>14042331
Namefag confirms he knows nothing about brakes.
Bug brakes dissapate heat better. Thats it. What happens when brakes get hot?
Hell your tyres whould pay more into the equation than having 2 or 3 pot calipers.
>>14042334
>willingly ruining your rear tire
Oh wait
>cb400sf
I'm gonna ignore you now
>>14042337
They dont have it due to weight and its a controlled environment.
You really are a dumb cunt.
>>14042331
>I would rather my brake calipers have extra room for more stopping power in the dry than less room so they simply can not lock up in the wet
That Honda system is pretty much the only brake on the market that has the extra piston to operate the ABS. Everyone else uses valves to do it. They don't add much size to the caliper at all.
The second part of your post doesn't make sense. Simply can not lock up in the wet? ABS doesn't detract from stopping power. You can also lock any brake if you grab it hard and fast enough. Bigger brakes are for dissipating heat.
Either way it's becoming standard on motorcycles now.
>>14042337
They don't use it because it's against the rules in MotoGP. It keeps braking control a factor that's up to rider skill. It also keeps the bikes weight down.
>>14042337
MotoGP riders ride on perfectly smooth tarmac with no gravel to worry about. They're also the best riders in the world and spend hours upon hours practicing every corner on every racetrack for days. And even if they wanted ABS, it's banned
>>14042336
>an extra piston in each brake rotor.
And not really, if there is a patch of gravel on the road and you slam your brakes on when you hit it you are going to crash no matter what brakes you have.
If you are going around a corner you are supposed to counter steer and then use the brakes once the bike is in a level position...
Just sayin..
>>14042342
>controlled environment
Irrelevant. Some of their bikes have traction control.
>due to weight
Modern ABS is only a few kilos. Stop making excuses to defend your cancer noob system.

>an extra piston in each brake rotor.
Not him but extra pistons aren't really about stopping power past a certain point. I'll use six piston brakes as an example. They aren't there to increase stopping power. It's so they could make the disc smaller and reduce rotating mass.
Either way on a valve ABS system there's no reason you couldn't add pistons and have the ABS system.
Like >>14042338 said bigger brakes are there to help with heat more so than stopping power.
>>14042349
>They don't use it because it's against the rules in MotoGP. It keeps braking control a factor that's up to rider skill. It also keeps the bikes weight down.
>>14042349
>needing traction control
I don't have traction control on my bike. These MotoGP noobs can fuck right off if they can't even control their power.
>modern ABS is only a few kilos
And a modern motogp bike is only a hundred and few kilos. A 3kg ABS system is actually a pretty significant difference on a bike that only weighs 120 or so kilograms, particularly if it won't be of any use because of the controlled environment and muscle memory motogp riders have.
>>14042368
>A 3kg ABS system is actually a pretty significant difference on a bike that only weighs 120 or so kilograms
It's not
>particularly if it won't be of any use because of the controlled environment and muscle memory motogp riders have.
>muscle memory motogp riders have
What you mean to say is the ability to actually control your braking because ABS is complete and utter dogshit.
It's banned because it's skill based riding. Not ninja 250 baby grab a fistfull of brakes everytime they get scared and let the computer brake.

>>14042382
Because they're riding nearly 300hp machines where as you have a sub 30hp 250 yet apparently need computer systems to help you ride?
lol.
>>14042385
So they don't have the skill to ride them if they need traction control.
Your argument is null and viod
>>14042385
Why do F1 drivers not have traction control then?
Wat bike is good for beginners?
My last bike was a 50cc semiauto (no clutching involved)
I do drive a stick car
>>14042388
Mad 250kid tries to just disregard my post.
MotoGP riders have an excuse with large powerful machines and the fact that traction control doesn't actually do anything significant - you still see them having accidents.
Meanwhile you're on a scooter and you can't even be bothered to learn to ride properly and hide behind the excuse of m-muh abs better.
>>14042385
Yet my 250 is still faster than your cruiser you fucking boomer
>>14042399
>admits he has a 250 while calling me a boomer because I'm not a child and actually like bikes
>>14042396
A 500 if you have previous riding experience (or youre a big guy for you). A 250/350 otherwise.
re-sell on entry level bikes is high and easy. So you aren't losing out on much by riding a 250/350 for a year.
>>14042394
They do.. They have for like 12 years.
>>14042382
>>14042388
>>14042398
Having safety systems on road bikes makes even more sense. You can practice emergency braking all you want but when a car pulls out in front of you that ABS is going to be invaluable.
MotoGP riders don't have to worry about old Miss Daisy pulling her station wagon out in front of them while coming down the straight away.
>>14042051
Today I saw a KTM Duke 390 for the first time.
Holy shit that thing is tiny!
It looked like it would be extremely fun to ride, like a bicycle with a big engine underneath.
Yeah I know India etc
>>14042384
well i don't use that shit does it look like i am from or even live near hipster city lol?
>>14042413
You ride a hipster bike, faggot.
>>14042406
They don't. It was banned in 2008. It was banned because it was OP basically. But traction control on cars (and the benefits you get - i.e dem turns) isn't really like the benefits you would get from traction control on a motorcycle - where the only benefit is slightly less chance of having an accident.
>>14042306
Break in at night and take it.

Oh its jumbuk. i am retarded. Fucking boogaboo words i swear to god.
>>14042409
>but when a car pulls out in front of you that ABS is going to be invaluable.
Pretty much confirming my point. You need it because you can't handle the situation. I've had people pull out on me before and as an actual rider I just didn't grab a fistful of brake and stomp the rear like an absolute retard.
Maybe you should stop riding mate.
>>14042421
>as an actual rider
So you're a troll then.
>>14042425
It's a shame they don't make an automated argument system for invalids like you too maybe then you'd actually have something to say - except well it really wouldn't be you just like when you ride a bike with ABS you aren't really riding - that and ABS fucking sucks.
>>14042383
>Fair enough i won't argue with that you make good points.
>actually listening
Keep it up VicCB400sf. We're not all out to get you but you've gotta listen to what we say at times. There's no reason not to learn from us.
>>14042421
I'm not talking about myself. There's literally no reason not to have it on a modern road bike though. It takes nothing away from people like us who have good braking technique and for many others it saves lives.
>as an actual rider
I can almost guarantee I ride more than you do. Calling yourself an "actual rider" just makes you sound like an asshole.
MotoGP need computers to handle throttle control because they have none.
So it all comes down to brakes and BP
>you're not a real rider in my eyes
>>14042430
>it takes nothing away from people like us who have good braking technique
Confirmed for not having known how to brake in the first place or only ever using ABS bikes and then being a lying faggot.
>and for many others it saves lives.
Shouldn't be on a bike if they can't ride it.
>>14042415
Pretty sure i would have to ruin it for it to be a hipster mobile.
>>14042437
No it is by defualt, it is 1 of 500. So unique etc
>>14042429
I'd rather be a shit rider who gets saved by electronic systems than a great rider who fucks up once and ends up under a truck
>>14042443
I guarantee if you're a shit rider, as evidenced by needing ABS and a stubborn outright refusal to learn then you will simply meet your demise in another way.
There isn't an automated system to protect you from everything and even ABS can go wrong retard.
>>14042436
I've never owned a bike with ABS. I ride motorcycles for work. Either way this is my second time responding to you here and I'm not doing anymore. This bait is too obvious.
>Shouldn't be on a bike if they can't ride it.
>A computer system that you never notice unless you grab a handful of brakes but can save the lives of newer and less experienced riders is a bad thing
Okay.
"hipster" bikes can be cool.
Only autistic faggots don't like street fighters and cafe racers (when done well and proper).
Keeping a CB or some other more sit up style bike stock is the equivalent of wearing autism shoes.
>>14042442
just makes it worth more money for some reason lol, only reason i bought it was because i knew it would never lose its value even if i do 30,000km on it as long as i keep it in good condition.
sorry for not buying a brand new sv650 then losing $4000 in value after rolling it out of the door.
>>14042448
>I've never owned a bike with ABS
>Pretends he actually knows anything about it
Genius mate. You may as well argue with yourself if you're going to point yourself out to be wrong within your own posts.
>>14042454
It will lose its value easy. You don't understand how shit works.
>>14042448
Anon is just trolling, there's no way he seriously believes that a fallback emergency braking system is a bad thing unless he's just being an edgy parrot.
If you're a good rider with ABS you'd likely never ever notice it because you'd brake properly
If you're a new rider with ABS you, theoretically, would practice until you didn't need it but either rider could end up in a bad situation and ABS could end up helping. It's not that heavy, anyone who complains about the weight is the equivalent of Nut'n'Fancy-tier "muh ounces, muh grams!" shaving micrometers of metal off of his dust cover to make his AR "SUPER LIGHT TACTICAL."
>>14042454
>>14042463
SE or not.. everything loses value. Especially bought NEW.
>>14042458
As i said earlier ABS brakes are great for wet weather riding... idk why you guys made an argument about the topic lol.. The weight thing is stupid, ABS brakes hardly weigh 500 grams more than standard brakes (on my bike anyway) and that is only really due to the extra cables running down to them.
Thats a 500ml drink in your pocket.....

>posted from my wheel locked queer bike cuz i cant brake properly
even /dat/ thinks vicCB400sf is a loser
yuro question here:
has anyone with their A2 licence limited their bike to be under the horsepower limit for insurance purposes etc and subsequently removed the limiter?
Here in bongland I think you dont have to prove you're on a bike thats limited to under 44(?) hp but if the police have reason to believe you are on an unlimited bike they can confiscate the it and put it on a dyno to test hp? Obviously at that point you'd be pretty fooked as you'd have been riding without valid insurance and technically without a license too, but assuming you dont ride like a tard and dont get caught, you should be alright? Thoughts?
>>14042466
More or less. I ride on my commute, all day at work, and anytime I decide to go anywhere. I'd say my road experience is right up there. Shit happens to every rider.
>>14042473
>ABS brakes are great for wet weather riding
Of course, but there's pretty much no reason not to have it when you really get into it, you know?
>The weight thing is stupid
For the road yeah, it's pretty irrelevant. At that level of racing it makes sense though. As far as your bike goes, remember that yours also has bigger discs. Not a huge difference, but there'd be some extra weight from that.
>>14042493
We've all thought about it mate. It's just better to be safe than sorry for the case of the police stopping you - which they love to do and any insurance claims you will need in case of an accident because they will check.
What kind of bike do you want? I'll help you pick one that'll be good for the license.

http://www.bikesales.com.au/dealer/OAG-AD-12103896
yay or nay?
>>14042493
or you can crash like that aussie retard and total your bike. then the insurance company found out he unrestricted the bike so they wouldn't pay him.
he became and nobike and shit posted on here for weeks.
>>14042499
I know what everyone'll say about this.... but Supposedly a 1999 gsr600 srad is just under double the hp you're allowed at a2 and thus is valid for restriction. I just reckon that for me, the reality of riding will end up being a fair weather thing only and I don't even need powered transport to get to college so I would perhaps be riding at the weekends during the summer so that at least reduces chances of being stopped. Also thought about limiting a bandit 600, that would probably be a better choice
>>14042508
Heavy? I think my litre sport bike is less than 10kg heavier than a friends 500. Few guys I know have 600cc nakeds that are heavier than mine.
>>14042463
Seen as you have me on the defense here..
Yes, i do...
I understand that a 2011 cb400 with 30,00km sells for up to $8,500 at the moment depending on the condition it is in and how it was looked after and i paid $2000 less than that in 2013.
LAMS bikes do not depreciate over here until they are over 50,000km.
>>14042513
So you've been riding a 125 prior and now think you're ready for a 600 sportbike?
At any rate there are a lot of smaller sport bikes out there that only need minor restrictions i.e honda vfr 400 suzuki gsxr 400 so it wouldn't be a big deal. Or you could go down the route of a faired twin cylinder like gs500 gpz/ex500 hondas cb500 and so on.
>>14042508
are routine checks even a thing? I've been driving hektic in a golf for like 2.5 years now and never been stopped. It may be suspicious but you'd be within your rights to get a 600 SS and limit it, and unless they really believe it's unlimited they're not gonna get it towed surely
I changed out my cluster in the v-strom, it no longer reads 199999, instead it has only done 17000. How much value did I just add?
>>14042524
Not him but LAMS bikes typically dip at 30k as well as 50k. I always saw it as, new/may as well be new, under 30k, under 50k, and over 50k.
>>14042528

This, plus don't buy vehicles where they have only been used on the coastline communities
>>14042545
tfw you begin to understand why they stopped making fenders out of a cheap alluminum alloy and are now plastic
>>14042545
I'm in South Australia. We have incredibly low humidity for the majority of the year. People were complaining about how humid it was today, think it was 19-23%...
>>14042551
damn that must be nice

He's still around and has the Ninja 650, he's on his red P's now.
Still an arrogant asshole too.
>>14042555
whats a red P?
>>14042558
Something you get if you have unprotected sex with an abbo in Australia.

Very true, which is why i am not too worried considering i paid $2000 less than i should have for it in the first place lol (Admitted i did pay $6500 without registration/insurance and i had to buy a new battery, hence $2000 less than asking price) it was basically brand new when i got it, an 82 year old bloke had it as his very last bike, he dropped at a set of traffic lights and couldnt get it off the ground so he decided "time to throw in the gloves" and sold his bike to pay for the shitbox car he bought.
was kinda sad really, he had been riding bikes since he was 17.
(thats where the scuff mark on my clutch case is from)
>>14042558
Probationary license.
>>14042558
The thing to say you're on your first year of solo driving.
For motorbikes it means you've passed a basic course
it's the first year of your probationary license, after 1 year you go on your green p's for a couple years
>>14042558
It means he is the biggest Pooftah in all of Victoria, vicCB400sf is lagging behind some.
>>14042562
>was kinda sad really, he had been riding bikes since he was 17.
Yeah it is really. My dad's riding his FXSB less and less due to age.
I paid $3500 for a 25,000km MC22 that was owned by a mechanic.
>>14042566
>that was owned by a mechanic.
That means fuck all. I know a heap of mechanics that do not give a fuck about their vehicles, but you can be assured when it comes time to sell they use that bullshit line.
>>14042566
>My dad's riding his FXSB less and less due to age.
Maybe he just wants to suck less cocks?
>>14042552
It'll be 0% for most of the next three months, but it'll be 40C+ for a lot of it. Gets up to about 46C at the worst part. Can ride all year round here.
>>14042570
Nah this one was solid. This guy had put a lot of care into the bike. Ran like a dream and never developed any of the classic MC22 problems.

So is my dad, he sold his ducati 1098 and bought an Indian road master this year :( Now he is too slow to go riding with.
I swear his new girl friend made him do it lol.
>>14042570
usually the technically inclined people are the ones to watch out for because they will know how to lie in a way which will hide issues of a vehicle
for example
>engine knock, cover up with exhaust compression leak so the sound of an open pipe drowns it out and is an excuse for it not sounding normal
I've done that one before. Although I sold it for 300 quid so I don't feel bad desu. That and they were pakis.
>>14042574
it just means pre-warmed tiers on hot days
I can't stand hot but here is 80-90% humidity
>>14042577
Wasn't a random guy to be fair. Forget the connection exactly, but it was the friend of a friend of mine if I recall. We pulled the bike down after a fairly big accident and everything was pretty much perfect. It really was a great example of an MC22.
>>14042580
Yeah I was in Darwin for a bit and it was pretty unbearable at times. Bike starts are beautifully in the heat too.
It does mean that every third person owns a Dainese Air Frame though haha.
>>14042576
i really like the look of the headers on the big indian engines.
So my friend drew this, whatcha think?
>>14042590
>>14042576
The thing I wonder about these bikes is when you stop you surely must have to put the kickstand down every time. I got a 200kg bike and even my leg gets tired keeping it upright at stop and go traffic. Those indian bikes are like 600lbs+ or something.
>>14042574
Fuck you cunts lol.
It is always humid down here and we get the same hot days. Admitted we do get the odd piss down and sometimes it happens within 15 minutes and its completely out of nowhere but still.
>>14042594
Is he talking to himself? He seems confused and stressed.
>>14042594
It needs cute anime girl on the tank.
>>14042604
Homeless vet.
Only him and his bike on the open road.
>>14042599
Im a manlet and even i can hold it up no worries, surprisingly they managed to keep a hell of a lot of the bikes weight down low, it feels like it weighs maybe 300kg not half a ton.
Gutless though.
>>14042590
They are really pretty, the whole bike is if you ignore the speakers, i hate that about it lol.
>>14042603
It is hotter on average though. You guys don't tend to get two weeks of 40-45C. We get those crushing 45C+ days too.
Melbourne's problem is it has menopause weather.
>>14042605

I am closer to sale than i am melbourne and i am still about 2 hours away from sale lol

I can ask, but he does not enjoy drawing neither anime nor automotive.
Also, he doesn't know I posted it. He normally doesn't let people see what he's drawing.
But I save everything he does.
>>14042603
>only 50%
>>14042612
Interestingly though i am only about half an hour away from Melbournes water supply, no snack bars intended.
>>14042612
It's still almost certainly not hot as often as Adelaide. It's pretty brutal here during Summer, the northern winds can be relentless.
From time to time it gets hot enough we get that convection effect and it is cooler to wear leather instead of mesh...

I do.

We just spend all Summer on fire. I typically get evacuated every year. We already had a big one a few weeks ago.
Friendly reminder to be careful out there.

this year has been pretty great. we had lots of rain fall.
but the last 5 or 6 years have been like that.
>>14042637
That is honestly horrible.
Fire is a shit thing...
Not exactly the best pictures in the world but ill post them anyway
>about 15 minutes after the fire was lit
>>14042689
>another 15 minute window (the fire was about 13 kilometers away here)
>>14042693
>Wind died down for about 20 minutes then picked back up (The sun is still out in this picture)
>>14042698
>maybe 2 minutes after that picture was taken
>>14042702
Oh neat lol i never noticed that, you can see a gum tree exploding in that last picture on the right hand side of the photo near the middle of the picture.
>a fire tornado that started in the cleared out pine plantation
>>14042689
South Australia. Fire in the barrosa.
Some posties got trapped by fires that got lit last year.
Probably get back on topic though.
>>14042710
>And this is where we stopped the fire
That is about 500 meters in front of the camera
>>14042715
>turn around 180 degree
there was a line of 28 trucks, 3 helicopters doing constant bombing runs and a plane dropping retardant.
>>14042714
Yeah lets. i won't talk about Churchill.
Reposting my first webm because it's my only webm
More to come after work

We pretty much do this all summer. South Australia is more shrub than anything.

Idk how i havent dropped my bike in over 2 years of riding it if i am honest. luck i guess.
>tfw can't deal with my family anymore
I'm tired deebeetee.
I wanna ride away.
>>14042813
Ride somewhere far away and think about your bike for a while then.
>>14042813
pawn anything that can be pawned, throw the rest in the trash and go m8.
If you need guzzoline/food monies, just bum some dollars at a intersection. Sleep cowboy style and ride into the sunset till you die m8.
>>14042834
And then i have to come back, turning the bike around makes me sick every time.
>>14042849
Why do you think we post here when we can't ride our bikes anymore?
>>14042854
Same reason i do i suppose.
I'm not coping with it well lately.

Sleep tight street bike
>>14042906
nah i tried to avoid a pile a dirt and hit a small pile of dirt. you can see it slide a little and then i went off the edge and slide alot.
>>14042889
Sleep tight, street bike
>>14042892
Seen as you are in victoria i did a bit of searching in your price range...
If you are looking for a 250 this is the best one i can find, it has been thoroughly loved.

fuck yes go for it.

KDX200 engine in KX125 frame. I don't know what year of either. Think it's worth $1100? He's asking 1500 but I would definitely try to jew him down.
>>14042936
Though i think it has been dropped before. but then most mc22's have lol.
>>14042936
cheers for having a look around man.
Though the fact it's been sitting for 8 months and doesn't idle properly is worrying
>>14042892
>The engine revs up to 16,500 rpm.

>>14042908
Fuel: Gas is commonly seen on craigslist posts.
>>14042948
Hard to find them under 3 grand, are you willing to spend like $3500? i can have another look.
>>14042950
well yeah it's an i4 250, each cylinder is the size of a thimble.
has to rev the fuck out of it to move anywhere
Where should i run away?
Somewhere i can live cheaply and be happy with very little money.
>>14042954
It's more that the across has the compartment which is super handy.
I also kind of want something that isn't perfect so I can learn on it, and i'll probably buy something nicer once i'm on my full license.

You are welcome.
>>14042986
I will say this though every one of them that i am finding under $4000 has been dropped at some point lol
>>14042985
>somewhere i can live cheaply and be happy with very little money.
>I want a place i can call home anon
Buy a tent and live in downtown L.A.
Anywhere that is cheap to live will have bad paying, shitty jobs and you will have to work three of them to support your meth and butane addiction.
>>14042963
If it has never been dropped get it after looking through all the other 250's on gumtree and bike sales.
Thats dropped bike price it seems.
>>14043001
How bad is it for a bike to be dropped though?
>>14043008
Honestly?
If it doesnt actually damage the engine case it isnt bad for anything other than cosmetic things.
>>14043008
I mean that i'll probably drop it anyway, so why fuss about a dropped bike.
I'll probably sell it in a bit to upgrade anyway, just need something to learn on
>>14043015
yeah thats it, it just means you get a cheaper bike in the end. some people are just really anal about those things.
Honda makes the best looking bikes
>>14043037
Can't wait for mine.

Yeah I'm taking small rides but it's breddy cold/humid/foggy/icy roads so it's not really enjoyable as the near tougey is dangerous as fuck during winter.
Also have no cold gear yet, I can bear it everywhere bar the hands, yesterday after 30 min it felt like nails were separating from the fingers.

I kind of ignored that one
