    Imagining riding around with the sidecars full of water. (shudder)

      … you really can’t think of a solution to that very predictable and common problem? A top on the buckets? Holes in the bottom?

            Assuming open top containers are going to collect water in the rain? 🤔

      There’s no way those things don’t drain and you can 100% ride in the rain, just saying.

It’s a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don’t be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
