I have 2 Africa Twins. A 2017 DCT, and a 2020 Adventure DCT.

Love both, but the seat is just too high. I had a link installed on the 2017 and it made a world of difference.

Any way to lower the 2020? With all the electronics, I’m just not sure. I love riding this bike but hate stopping because it’s right at the upper limit of my ability to put my feet down. Any uneven surface is a challenge to stop on.

Thoughts?

Easy fix , isn’t DCT for people that can’t shift gears? So you don’t have to worry about the boot not fitting under the gear shifter

Selco pointed out that his town went from a modern European city to total anarchy in three weeks. Some people had country houses where they would have faired much better, but could not get out of town in time. He highly recommended that your house or building look very unattractive.

Ideally have a dead animal or dead person by the front porch, Selco stated that even the worst gangs did not want to enter such a building to examine what was there. Catch rainwater, camouflage any vegetable garden. Stored foods were important, and do not do outdoor cooking where others can smell the BBQ, etc.

Snipers were shooting anyone they could find during the day, so everything had to be done at night without lights. Their house had 10 people in it, and there was always someone standing watch. To barter, go at night, and be very careful who you see. Hide everything, and be ready to shoot if someone tries to jump you. Modern medicines were very valuable.

I've put quite a few rounds through both. Setting being on PRS open rigs in 6.5 Creed & 6 Dasher, and NRL Hunter Open Heavy rifle in 6.5 Creed. They're very good, but a but different. That said, in my use cases I don't think you'd be able to really tell in a 6mm. 6.5 is where I was able to notice differences. See below...
Chad: Keeps rifle flatter. Blast isn't bad on the shooter. If you shoot under cover (roof), then it feels a bit louder than I'd like. Nice that I can use 5/8 and 3/4 muzzle threads. Blast isn't a loud ringing, but more of a wave of air the washes over you.
Maxi: Less recoil and feels softer, but little more muzzle rise. Nicer when shooting under a roof. Nicer/easier way to set timing on the barrel. Blast isn't bad on the shooter. I "see" the blast more in my peripherals.

I can concur. The eyebox on my 4.5-28 is incredibly tight and has caused buyers remorse.
The glass is very good, but so hard to get behind it is practically useless above 20x

I have not encountered the same with my 4.5-28. I suppose we all have different experiences but I find the 4.5-28 to be pretty forgiving, does it get tighter above 20x certainly as almost any scope will (as you increase magnification) but "practically useless" is not what I would call it.

It's a wide angle fov scope made by the same manufacturer. I suspect the same tight eye box exists is the same product line (FX series). But then you probably knew that.

Not necessarily, there are multiple factors that contribute to tight eyebox, but saying one model from a manufacturer means another model (even in the same line) isn't fair as every scope has its own unique optical formula. The 4.5-28 uses a 6.2x erector while the 5-42x uses an 8.4x erector which in and of itself creates for a different optical formula.

Yes, but no. Polonium 210 is toxic if injested. But, alpha particles are blocked by a few cm of air, and are too heavy to penetrate the skin. Boomers were too busy eating lead paint chips to eat a novelty ring.

It would be interesting on who would fare better urban or sub urban , i think the city people would tend to only care about themselves with no plan for the long haul [pretty much how they have lived] where the lakeside community would fare much better if they could organize and make the right decisions .

I don’t have to wonder, it would be a shit sandwich for all. Think Wild West but worse and it would suck big time until enough people said screw all this mess and the violence and attitude and decided to become civilized again.

Labradar refused to innovate because they kept selling…. Until Garmin came along. Then it was too late for Labradar.

I do realize NF =/= Labradar and the markets are very different. But the metaphorical story still has a lesson.

Well, plenty of other manufacturers have come out with new scopes and while they may be popular it does not appear to affect NF's ability to continue to sell their older products. Heck, look at all the great 3-18 scopes that have come out since the ATACR 4-16x42 and yet that one scope continues to sell and do well. If anything, it was likely the pressure from the competition in the 5-25 class that caused NF to think outside the box a bit and come up with the 7-35, but here's the catch - I do not believe the 7-35 is so popular because it offers 35x as much as it is optically superior to their 5-25 model. Yes, while many of us would love to see NF innovate and come out with a new ATACR II lineup, I'm not sure they really need to, at least not yet from their perspective. So let's say this new rumored Vortex RG3 just happens to be amazing and begins to cut into NF 4-16x42 sales, I would not be surprised if within a year or so we see a new model from NF. So, in a way you are correct, but thus far there has not been another scope that could take away enough sales of NF ATACR for it to encourage them to bring another product to market.

What do you mean “they will resort to violence?”

Judging by the news over the past year, they are well over the line and accelerating. Assassins, mass shootings, street violence, arson, attacking teslas, shooting ice agents….

Oh is that referred to as “mostly non-violent?”

Just the Teslas part.

The only way I can see a judge getting involved is if they say the law is unconstitutional, then it would have to work its way to the Supreme Court if one side digs in.

Until Congress decides to defend and jealously guard the power granted to them, and NOT the judicial branch, this stuff will keep happening. They have the power to impeach
