I couldn't care less if they crash one into the White House again but I really don't want to be on a commercial airline on takeoff and get one sucked into the engine.

I was surprised to see that they removed the geo fencing. I'm not a fan of upgrading the firmware as I had trouble with one of my drones a few years ago after an update. My Mavic 3 is still running the same firmware that it came with.

DJI turned the e-bike world on its head with a new Avinox motor. 1500w of power. It sent Bosch to the woodshed. Now they’re about to do it again. It’s going to eliminate the derailer with some type AI controlled transmission. No more cassette or derailer. Is there anything DJI can’t do better?

Is it programmed to swim yet?

So do all these chink made drones being sold in America have a built in ability to be controlled by others?

Not that I am aware of. DJI has been begging the US to do a security audit of there stuff for a few years now.

Yep. I mean....wtf. We know a couple that bought a pair. Paid a laughable amount and brag and brag. Neither can walk to the mailbox without preparations to get back. Not obese but certainly not in shape. We just laugh. Push away from the spaghetti, chunkies!!!!!!

Or just buy a fucking golf cart. You ain't foolin' anyone.

Reminds me...I need to get my Trek down from the attic and bring it in for a detail and sell it. I ain't riding bikes anymore. At least not without a bitchin ICE engine bolted in them.

Who uses it for exercise? It’s about climbing up a steep mountain slope and the great bonzi ride down. Best thrill there is.

you realize your on a snowmobile site, right??

Hauling ass through trees on a sled is far more thrill, and you can do it up hill, down hill, and with no hill

15 miles south of us is one of the most popular mountain biking destinations in the east, Kingdom Trails in East Burke, Vermont. It's amazing how many bikes are in that area on a busy weekend.

Is it still a freudian slip when its all you think about

I’ve heard of it. Has a good reputation for a variety of different trails. I think they have some lifts for non-motorized mountain bikers. I’m wanting to ride Whistler BC before the summer/fall turns to winter. Hope to get there by mid August.

You and your dildo rarely cross my mind.

Yes, Burke Mountain spins a chairlift for the mountain trails.

The trail system works much like a local snowmobile club. They rely on many different landowners to make their trail system.

The Keweenaw peninsula in upper Michigan has a similar situation. They have an elaborate trail system that’s managed by locals. There’s a campground that has its own trail system which links into the larger framework of trails. It’s a great time.

Pretty tough sledding here right now.

I was never into mountain biking myself. I preferred a motor on my bike. I do know a lot of snowmoiliers that enjoy riding mountain bikes in the summer. I have been told going down a mountain trail right on the edge is very exciting.

Broke your one rules on quoting??? Can't come up with an original though, had to copy ckf???

I know reading comprehension is tough for deep, but he said its the best thrill, not the best thrill this time of year, or in the summer.

Or masturbation. He's really missing out.
