Reply to comment by vtriple in 11 states consider 'right to repair' for farming equipment by Ranew

Are u advocating against the right to repair because people want the latest stuff?

Nope just saying that for most people that use those things anything past 10 years is basically only used if you can't afford new shit.

I don't get ur comment tho. If what I have isn't old but just breaks, I should suck it up and buy the latest and greatest instead of fixing it?

It really depends on what it is and what you're doing with it. If you race a dirt bike in motocross for any number of years anything past 5 years of racing on it will be far past the point of being worth it to repair.

Naturally, if you're a trail rider and don't abuse it than these things can't last 30-40 years with light repairs.

Also generally speaking have you rode a 20 year old ATV or watercraft compared to the recent ones? It's a totally different experience on the body alone lol
