     @awl Yep. Been riding a 26"-wheel road bike mostly lately.
     
     You?

     @tk how’s it been bud? I know you got into motorcycling. Still holding up the manual powered?

     @tk not as much I’m afraid. Ds crank arm on the LeTour is warped so that all the rings skip so not ideal on long rides. I’ll be getting a Rene Herse crank and new bb when I can allocate resources

     @awl That sucks, but the Herse cranks are pretty good. I have them on a couple of my bikes and haven't had any issues.
     
     Have you seen my latest toy?

     @tk I have not! Getting into the off-roading now are we?
     
     Rene Herse seems the best option besides NOS wherein I won’t have to change gearing, seeings how I can get the same length of arms and same sized rings, and in triple.

     @awl Hopefully. I took my Triumph on some mild gravel roads a while back and I want more. My dad kept pushing me to get an ADV bike or an obsolete 600cc dual-sport of some sort, but I wanted something light to keep it fun. The one I got reminds me a lot of riding a bicycle in terms of flickability on the road, so I can't wait to get into the mountains once the weather gets better. Oh, and despite being fuel-injected, it is finicky to start like a carbureted bike, but "dealing" with it became satisfying once I figured it out.
     
     I haven't tried the Herse as a triple yet, but the Sugino XD series works pretty well in my experience, and you can still buy it new for not too much. (Sugino does still sell the Alpina triple, but it doesn't really buy you much over the XD.)

     @tk hell I might get into off-roading via 4-wheelers next season. Inherited a fixer-upper old Honda FourTrax 300 earlier on.
     
     Roads are fun and all but getting away from trails has always been where the real experiences lie.

     @awl Why not one of these? I hear they take a lot of skill to ride but are fun to hoon on. (Photo source)

     Yeah. Paved roads are both boring and choked with distracted drivers. Trails are far more chill.

     @tk honestly I was thinking of those. However the four-wheelers are more versatile. For instance plows. The most popular personal snow removal tool in rural Minnesota.

     @awl That's pretty cool.
     If you have space, maybe get one of each?

     @tk once I get structures out here absolutely.
     
     We’re also looking at buying a house outright so there’s this option

     @awl That's awesome. Is the house in the middle of nowhere where they should be, because that's where I want to have a house someday.

     @tk same here. We’re in a camper van in a field right now and despite the difficulty the freedom has been well worth it.
