That’s motorcycling , it’s been the same topics circling for years and I’m old.

Throw in chicken strips and knee down too though I think people are getting a bit less obsessed with those .

I'm just passing through but I remember posting here when this sub only had 3000 subscribers.

Things don't change. A hobby sub reddit is generally going to be new people to the hobby rather than seasoned veterans. There is not that much to talk about topic wise and it's not like an old school forum where users have years to form relationships with each other.

You need to follow good YouTubers if you want some deeper insight on any hobby nowadays.

Yeah I’ve barely been on this sub but in the days of forums before social media and even in person meetups and message boards in the time before before - people always asked these questions . Like you say they’re just the new person topics .

My personal favourite is countersteer, far more important for a newbie to get their head round than worrying about chicken strips in my opinion .
