Part out the Navi, trade it on the Grom?

 

Price of mods dont count. Dont ever ad it up, dont ever keep track.

Please for the love of god dont ask me how much my grom cost. I bought it essentially stock for 3k$ with 3k miles on it back in late 2015, it cost me 3k thats it... ill take that to my grave.

 

$3K you say? I'll give you $3500 for it.

 

I have everything tracked ina spreadsheet down to the cent.

And yeah I could have sold the Navi stock for $1800. With mods I could probably sell it for… $1800.

 

It’s a lot of money out of pocket still and I think I’d rather just hold on to both. Just need to sell the dirt bike.

 

Just put a milk crate on the dirt bike.

 

I do a lot of policy training to large groups for work so I’m very used to speaking for an audience. It has made me very self-critical for how I talk and as a result it makes me notice when people use “umm..” and “like…” and “you know…”. There’s a YouTube channel I hate-watch and the dude does that a lot but the most annoying thing is he clicks his tongue when he pauses for a breath. Like he has perpetual dry-mouth. You can tell he doesn’t do it on purpose and I lose all ability to listen to anything he says and find myself counting clicks. Ugh. His content is fairly decent though.

 

Maybe I'm odd, but if I can't stand their content I can't "hate watch" anything they do. If I hate it, that means it's out.

 

If I ever got a Grom (Not really interested in one) I'd have to get one of these stickers for it.

 

Everybody looks like a fat guy on a Grom though.

 

Editing my stuff has made me a lot more aware of my vocal tics. I’ve been trying so hard to stop my “so..” and “alright” before sentences when I start filming something.

 

Video idea for you:

Doesn't matter what the video is about, but you need an off screen partner to "help" you. Run your partner through some of your videos, and show them the tics you want to improve upon. Then, strap a shock collar to your arm and give them the clicker with instructions to punish the tics. Film the video as normal with an intro explaining the game. Record the inevitable shocks and giggles. Share with masses. Gain clicks, views, subs, and fund more mods to the bikes.

 

Even better: On an old episode of Cheers, Cliff was trying to break some of his own habits like that and so he put the shock collar near his "private parts" and gave the controller to a "friend" to help him out.

Front or back? Lol

 

That's what she said.

 

Indeed, you can carry twice the juggs!

 

I want this.. but is it worth the $870 shipped price tag from Czech Republic?

Plus Id add GMRS radio to the bike, so I dont have to deal with stupid Cardo anymore

 

I look like a kite since I’m a bag of bones.

 

So looks like I’ve lost ~2mph with the variator weights. I’m hitting about 49 mph vs 51-52 mph before. I’m hoping with exhaust and more tuning I can hit 52 again.

Fully stock the top speed was also about 48-49 mph but now it accelerates way harder and sounds a lot better getting there. The weights more than made up for the loss in acceleration from the larger wheel.
