It means once a vegetable has been cooked, I can't tell the difference between raw and organic. That being said, I've had organic apples that where terrible, and non-organic ones that were amazing. I think most of it is a placebo.

And truth be told, I'm not a master farmer, but I know enough to know that it's inherently more work to grow a crop without chemicals than it is to do. Case in point, the majority of America's food isn't organic, if it was easier and less labor, it would all be organic

Maybe, but I can't tell the difference. What matters most is taste and if that is removed, cost is what follows.

More work the a 4stroke to maintain for sure and more tempermental, but they are also easier to work on if something goes wrong. I never changed the jetting in my bike when is was 30C or almost 0C so i dont think you would need to.
I am speaking from mx bike experience though so it may be much different for road bikes

I grew up in a bougie, white, rich family. I also was a broke ass college student. Now that I can afford to go either way, I genuinely can't tell the difference and I buy both regularly. Is a placebo. A good bell pepper is good, regardless of how it's grown. It's a mental thing based on how something is grown, not a taste thing. You can have really well grown non organic crops that are much tastier than similar organic ones based more on the soil, climate, and when they are properly picked.

America= massive land mass that is not densely populated which means that land is cheap to produce and raise cattle on, which we do. We are a new country with not much land utilization, relatively.

Still it's not WW2 anymore, you don't need to be rich to afford red meat.

You guys really need some standards, serious certifications and government controls regarding food.
>>16729463
First that's not true because you can sell a quality product at a higher price.
Second some people care about a quality product more than how it looks.

You need to inform yourself a little before talking about things you know nothing about. Now go eat your waxed apple.

"No"

Don't make more government intervention where there doesn't need to be. Don't scare people away from vegetables, even if it is genetically modified. Scare people away from soda or cigarettes or something , but even then, only if it's proving to be an obstructive burden on study.

As much as I'm interested I've got to much to do today to watch that. That being said, I'm not saying our system is perfect. The average Americans nutrition isn't great, but our food isn't bad. If you cook it yourself, being healthy ain't no thang.

It's a product of the speed of growth, and the time food is taken off the vine. Dipshit probably can't tell the difference because he's eating safeway-shrunken "organic" food instead of in-season produce.
Y'know. Seasons. The reason people used to be unable to get tomatoes in winter?
Go to a wealthy neighborhood and look for "weekly farmer's market" signs. Hipsters put a lot of purchase into this kind of thing, will talk your ear off if you want it or not.

On bike stuff, I was thinking of ricing out an old magna off CL. Anybody know a specialty shop for swept back bars, round lights and such?
I could try bending them myself, but have zero metalwork experience. Not sure how to ensure they're even.

>>16730192
No that's just the electrolyte. When you have to refill the battery, which you will, make sure you used distilled water

Tell me again, how setting up a spanking new bureaucracy is cheaper or more effective than reforming the existing one.

Try overrevving the engine. You'll get a better feel for your friction zone.
Other exercise; Look at the horizon, attempt to go as slow as possible in straight line; go to a square parking lot. Do U's in three spaces, two spaces; make a partner stand in single spot, look them in the eye as you do circles.

You get a handle on those, flip on a channel like this:

It's becoming more common because the markets turned to accommodate wannabe motocross racers. Some people argue that it gives them better ground clearance, but I've never had an issue with any of the kickstands on my bikes. I mean, I've ridden the Mojave desert since I was born and have been just about everywhere in it and I still have yet to want to take my kickstands off.

well I don't believe that at all lowering or not, but you need to revert that shit ASAP.

>I thought the apex was much sooner than it really was

"Apexing" in the fastest way like doing a hot lap is not for the road, on the road EVERY corner is a late apex and you should be nowhere near the center line until the exit is clearly visible, Start wide, finish tight, that way if the corner tightens or you run into some trouble you have runoff space and you are naturally on a wide entry now for the next corner if it's in the opposite direction (like yours is).

I'm sure you know this (or at least now you should) but yeah keep it in mind.

(and I feel this is obvious too but don't go crazy on roads you don't know.)

>>16732197
>well I don't believe that at all lowering or not
desu my left peg was grinding for the second half of that corner. Not the peg slider, but the very left side of the peg. But yes, it needs to get fixed, its on my to do list but money/time is a slight issue

>>16732197
>EVERY corner is a late apex and you should be nowhere near the center line until the exit is clearly visible
this is the same advice I've received from other experienced rider friends who saw this video today. I'll take it to heart

Looking at the video and where you went down, the grass there seems well plowed. Almost as if it happens regularly.

It's a popular motorcycle road in the area, there isn't a doubt in my mind that it happens on a weekly basis

I don't know anything about dirt bikes, I was just curious about the Beta 480 and watched reviews but I believe I've heard good things about TM as well.

Watch/read reviews, I guess.
