I think you might have just blown the lid off the whole thing.
What I’ve gathered is that RoberttheShrubber posts as Dianne Kelley on Facebook.

Nice try Bob.

Pathetic is a bit harsh, seems like he’s having a good time and isn’t selling anything, but teaching a hatchery bass to eat shiners out of your hand and then grabbing it one day is a pretty weak “world record.”

I’ve been rolling in just high so far with speeds 15-20 mostly.


This is more than likely fine, but it’s not just a speed thing. Next time you ride go feather the throttle at really low speed in H. You will feel the belt catch and the bike will lurch. It’s the repeated shock to the flywheel/clutch that wears out the clutch and seal, strains the axles and diffs, etc. Speed this occurs at is going to change with the ground you’re on, how much weight you have on the bike, etc, but once you feel it you’ll know. Most manuals are going to tell you to be in low if you have more than one person riding or any weight on it, but that’s CYA on their part as long as you have some sense.
I won’t claim to have dug too deep into it but I was always under the impression it was an accepted fact that hybridization with coyotes as they spread east was what wiped out the red wolf as opposed to outright extinction. Skimming through the paper it seems to imply this was established in the 70’s and is well documented.

Where does it say the black coloration comes from the red wolf? Same as above, have always red this was introduced from dogs and wasn’t very controversial.

I was in a Toyota plant last week, and trust me giving up the V8 wasn’t their idea. They would have continued turning out the 5.7 for all eternity if emissions standards hadn’t forced their hand.

but its so much quieter and more pleasant to drive in high gear. F me for wanting to enjoy my ride though


If you’re going faster than about 10-15 mph, then you probably aren’t going to have any issues. If you’re going slower than that and want it to be dead quiet, and Im really not trying to be a dickhead when I say this, get a golf cart.

It’s a hard pill to swallow for some people, the bike will run quieter in H and it’s easy to just push the shifter all the way up, as long as you ignore that pesky clunk that’s the sound of your warranty dying.

neighbor was kinda griping at me for for doing this on his one time. something about it making better emissions in low gear at lower speeds.



I had no idea this was such a secret, it has nothing to do with emissions. It’s right there in the owners manual in big bold letters, low gear is the primary drive gear for a CVT transmission when there is any load on the machine or you’re not planning on driving fast - aka any time you need low speed belt engagement.

Y’all can downvote all you want, if you consistently drive very slow in high gear you will damage any brand of a CVT machine. If you’re lucky you’ll just wear out the belt, if you’re not you will blow the crank seal, not know it because all the oil will drain into the belt box, worst cause being oil level gets low enough to burn the engine up before you notice it.

Belt driven UTVs and centrifugal clutch driven fourwheelers are different machines. Read your manual when you spend $20K on something.

Bro I’ve had a few 4 wheelers and a sxs and I rarely use Low gear. I always use High for crusing in a pasture and general driving around. She did nothing wrong.


On any belt/CVT machine you should be in low gear driving at slow speeds, like paw paw creepin slow. The constant start and stop of belt engagement can and will damage the clutch or crank seal.

Hondas have by far the least maintenance issues out of any of them.

They don’t give you enough power to break anything and design it to where you won’t enjoy using it, so the hours stay low.
Something tells me I wouldn’t be able to afford the monthly note.

I almost went with a .280ai


I have almost pulled the trigger on building one a half dozen times but it’s just not a practical buy unless you’re retired, handload, and enjoy watching hunting rounds land really close on paper. It and the 7 SAUM are prettymuch ballistically perfect for a do it all North American rifle but having enough ammo to shoot regularly is a hobby in and of itself.
The 280 AI has a cult following, it’s very popular with handloaders. It sits right at the point of diminishing return on powder burn and is what the 280 should have been from the beginning.

My brother in Christ, the 280 Remington or (7mm Express) was the definition of a fad cartridge when it was released, attempting to sell people a 740 woodsmaster with a neutered mix of a 270 and 30-06. The marketing behind it is one of the best examples of why Remington went bankrupt, behind maybe only the 6mm REM as an embarrassing display of marketing incompetence.

There’s not really anything you can do. They’re either going to bondo and sand it way down before painting, or replace the panel.

Go to the right side of the page and you can choose to limit the results to just Knipex, Channellock, Irwin, NWS, Bahco etc. You can also just click on "primium brands" and get rid of 99% of the garbage.


Except when they limit results to “top brands” only and not the ones you’re looking for, or randomly don’t allow sorting by brand based on your search input. It has gotten progressively and intentionally harder to search for a specific product on Amazon, to make you browse across more pages and generate ad revenue.
Prime shipping in my area really fell off hard about two years ago, it was a coin flip as to whether you would get it within a week.

I quit paying for prime a year ago but still buy things, just make sure to select the free shipping option that says it’ll take longer. In a lot of cases in arrives on the second or third day anyway.
My brothers and I went and fished it blind a few years ago, all of us caught one over 7lbs with big fish being 9.5lbs. Some folks at the ramp got skunked. It’s not a gigantic lake, but it’s still fishing not catching. Give yourself a long weekend if you want to be absolutely sure you’re gonna catch, but a guide will know what they’re doing at any given time.
