I have this one, the prices have gone up since I bought mine I think.

Same exact quality, the only difference between the two is the thumb set thing, but I like using my forefinger, I get more leverage that way.

I had a plastic version of that. It was my favorite throttle control. It broke after about a year of getting baked in the sun daily.

What are you saying? I'm not tight with my money. Especially when i've been drinking. Hell, i'm not even doing a "budget bike build" on the mini anymore.

I was once like y'all on the IPAs. Over time you get use to it & start to like it. I remember about 2-3years ago I would have a friend give me one or order one on accident, i would drink the first half hating it, but the 2nd half always started to taste pretty good. Now i'll buy a six pack every now & then. I still haven't got into the heavy ones though.

There was one we agreed that wasn't bad, but the rest... well, tasted like rancid dish soap! (edit: And gave a couple of us WICKED gas) LOL Hey it's okay it means more for you to enjoy!

Anything you have to "get use to" is not good in my book.

Most people don't like beer the first time they drink it.

Most boys don't like girls at first either. Cooties and such.

Sounds like prison sex. It sucks the first few times, but if you lick enough assholes you start to like it.

I'll pass, thanks.
