  • Have a '24 GSX R750. Brand new so I can’t personally speak to longevity issues. That being said, Suzuki has kept this same bike since 2011 (trim changes only) which suggests it is a proven build. I think there was an upgrade to Brembo brakes a few years ago? But other than that it’s essentially the same bike 2011-2024. Needless to say its been super easy finding/selling OEM and aftermarket parts for upkeep/upgrades. As a bonus, the GSX R600 is mostly identical to the 750 for parts swaps as well.





  • So I’ve heard that if you appeal or request a rating change it essentially allows the VA to reassess ALL the issues you have a rating for. I’m not sure if this is something the VA might be doing for your case. Some medical issues have the potential to resolve so they might be re-examining those ones. Obviously use caution going into any C&P examination as there’s a lot of errors, bias, and bad medical judgment that can occur.

    I requested a rating change for an issue about 4 years ago. The exam was scheduled within a month via phone call and the decision came in about a month later. I did a BVA appeal and have been waiting since then to even get on the docket. So they’re quick on some things but god forbid you have to appeal a crappy decision.

    Sorry to hear that a VA decision might be a make or break point for you. Its good that youre aware of the DBQs though - many are not. Wishing the best for you OP.









  • Rabbits. Had them as pets throughout my childhood and I was fascinated with their behavior. Sadly, some of my knowledge came from irresponsibleness as pet stores used to sell them willy nilly without good care instructions. This was also during the dial-up modem era so there wasn’t much on the internet then either.

    Here’s some things to know:

    1. You have to handle them a lot when they are young or they will not make great pets.
    2. You can litter train them. They can’t use cat litter though as clay dust is bad for their lungs.
    3. If you don’t get them fixed, especially the females, they can be predisposed to a lot of reproductive system cancers and be extremely aggressive.
    4. They are highly social animals. It’s especially cruel to keep one alone for its entire life.
    5. They are somewhat opportunistic carnivores.
