He needs to ask his boss to put that request in writing.

Spokane is beautiful! Coming up on 3 years here in Sept. Grew up on the West side and that was nice. But Spokane is a smaller town vibe with outdoor recreation everywhere.

Housing is still reasonable, not great but decent.

I don't know much about the public education here (no kids) I do have lots of friends who are teachers and I don't hear much complaining.

Just curious what the pressure on your supply is right now? Have you verified?

Everyone deserves a vacation. Humans need time to rest and re-set mentally and physically.

A very cheap way to handle this is call your local news station ask for the reporter who is doing those stories about getting scammed or whatever else. Tell them your single mother is getting harassed by an HOA she's not a part of. She is a long time homeowner doing her best and people are wasting the city and taxpayers money.

It would be sweet justice. And I know if I saw the story and you were one of my neighbors, I would probably be over at your house with tools and asking how to help.

And still should be! This guy is insane

Also a Man, I agree 100%

What's heavy? My beta Xtrainer seems like a feather after a DRZ400 E. Or my Africa twin.

Suspension is adjustable on all new bikes. I would consider a Sherco a step up from a lot of Betas, but the betas are awesome. I'm 5'8 175 on a good day so the Xtrainer being lower was why I bought it. Your size and weight has nothing to do with your physicality. You don't need to "throw around" a good newer 2T bike.

Between a kdx 200 and any modern bike you would laugh off your kdx even on the most tame 300 (I'm going to call the Xtrainer the most tame with rain and sun mode)

Yup, my garage has Harley, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Beta. Different weapons for different days!

Usually comfortably cruising to work on my Harley these days.

I will look down on any rider being a jackass. Wife and I were heading up to go dirtbiking last weekend. Two squids with cameras, shorts and Nikes pull up and start tic Tok dancing while stopped. I looked over and the kids got the biggest belt showing on his rear tire. Of course they started doing wheelies up the very crowded street with cars everywhere.

Those are sweet too. I'm on the shorter side so I really like the Xtrainer as my first 2t.

Also I said comments not compliments 😜 nah, no one has hated they often just don't know. I think beta has a much larger trials following until recently. I really appreciate the mom and pop style dealership network. I bought my bike in northern Idaho at a shop run by a family who all rides. Mechanic Dad (really badass hard Enduro rider) Mom's in front and the two daughters are too. I love supporting places like that.

I love cooking briskets, but after doing a chuck roast this weekend. It is the new go to. So much easier and almost no prep.

Two is my favorite. I would eat either for sure

Some of the older ones yes, always best to pack your connectors with grease yourself.

Suspension depends on the bike. My Trainer does not have the best suspension but it can handle anything I can throw at it so far. I will most likely upgrade the suspension at some point, but I would probably do that for any bike. I also got the bike new for under 10k, threw a bunch of cool parts on it for protection and I'm still in for 11.5? Maybe? Bang for the buck pretty good. You can also buy an Xtrainer already lowered.

The KYB and Showa shocks on the RR models are pretty nice.

I get a lot of comments about what my bike is. 23 trainer 300

Might want to have you come look at a smaller project in Spokane. We have a back porch/deck that is way to small. Looking to go approx 8x12 and have some sort of awning above the door.

Shoot me your info and any references links to your work.

That's awesome.

Do not do bamboo that is the worst idea you could ever have. Just don't.

That's... A lot of work.

Make sure your auto software update is turned on. No that's not normal. Garmin support did a pretty good job helping me this week with an issue. Ended up being a corrupted file. A hard reset and deleted a few files and I'm back on. I was getting an activity full delete activities. I know not the same issue just sharing.

Ok

Doesn't take a mixing valve. It is very likely a cross at the shower cartridge.

No cart!

You should post this in Washington and Seattle subs as well. Very good info!

It would be helpful to know what state you're making the purchase. It won't really make a difference in needing an inspection, but you may end up paying sales tax when you register it in WA. It could be the state you're in will collect some tax and again in WA. If you purchase in say OR you would pay sales tax on the purchase price in WA at registration.

Hopefully the WA address you use is not in King county or others with big RTA fees.

You may also want to go to a license office that does quick titles, get it the same day.
