i have the Craft & Ride one, and i like it. it is admittedly hard to make such an awkwardly shaped, heavy thing comfortable to carry, but this pack does an all right job. it's sure better than carrying it for long distances by the handle! i also appreciate that it's a nice looking, sturdy bag, and it also holds the charging cable and other assorted things. the only thing i can't do with it is fit my helmet in there on top of one of the footpads, but that's a minor thing.

awesome! i should get it and see if pulls mine.

wow -- i thought the video said that everyone was starting from scratch, and the app just came out today. is it pulling in your to-date numbers somehow?

@Digitalstyle7 they haven't been officially announced yet, but here's more info on what is known about the Apple Air Tags: https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-airtags

@Digitalstyle7 i would be as careful as you would be with anything you bought that costs $900 -- i never leave my Pint anywhere that i can't see it when i take it out. there's no lock i trust. when i go into a store, i carry it. as for random theft on the street, i think it's something to be conscious of, but i think at this point it's super rare, if it happens at all. people are still becoming conscious of what OWs are, and if someone tried to push you off and make off with one, it weighs a lot more than they probably expect, and i think you'd be able to catch them unless they chucked it into a waiting car and took off.

i do wish there was some sort of digital tracking system, for sure. some people have tried attaching a Tile tracker to theirs, but since it relies on bluetooth and another Tile tracker (i think?) nearby for location, and the distance they extend isn't that great, it's not a great solution, apparently. I am personally encouraged by the news that Apple may be coming out with Apple Tags soon -- a similar device to Tile, but all you need is a nearby iPhone for it to show up on the network for tracking. there are so many iPhones in the world, it seems like it might be a viable solution.

@BIGMil yes, this totally works. i took two strips of velcro and ran them from the fender to the front end, right in the middle of each "side" like you did with your dots, and i almost never have any foot sensor trouble any more.

@Jerre i don't notice my bumpers being all that scuffed up, but i do have a spare set of bumpers anyway, just waiting in the wings. i do like how the plates look from the side, though, adding that extra pop of color, but i've also seen some steel ones, which also look pretty great. tempted to try and make my own...

@BIGMil i had no idea Sharpie made oil paint markers! that's awesome! it really looks sharp. suddenly i'm kinda wanting float plates, even though i don't do anything that really needs them, lol

@BIGMil ohh nice -- did you just hand-paint the raised parts on the tire? what did you use?

@Swinefeaster this is an interesting thought -- i know that i never ride through water if i can help it. the most i've ever done is a wet sidewalk here or there, but nothing deeper. i wonder if people who nosedive can say the same with certainty. i mean, the manual clearly says they are water resistant, not water proof.
