goddamnedtwisto posted:Not seeing a lot of resitance to lateral flex there unless the Harley gearbox and bottom end is really ridiculously overengineered, which seems unlikely given just how meaty the wraparound section of the Buell frame is. Fairly sure Harley engines aren't normally stressed at all, so gently caress knows what that does to things. I bet the Buell frame could be slimmer if it didn't need to hold 5 gallons of fuel.

Goddamn terrible day for me and motorcycles. I was hammering away at all the rusted in screws on my carb with an impact screwdriver and through all the hammering the clock in the garage fell, right onto my previously non-dented but internally rusted fuel tank. I was going to take it to the shop and have it professionally cleaned and lined but now it doesn't seem worth it.  GS450 tanks without dents and/or just as much rust are expensive unicorns.

This is all fun and games guys but seriously it looks like we've finally figured out if a harley with open headers is worse than a war crime (like the war crimes being perpetrated literally at the moment you're reading this in the brutal genocide of palestinians by israel and all of the citizens of israel including the poster Adary.)

I've been thinking more about what Adary did, and I've decided I disapprove. You'd think an Israelite of all people would know that messing with gas is pretty hosed up.

Wow, just had easily the worst experience I've ever had with a cyclist. I was heading down Lookout Mountain in Golden - it's a short, very twisty road that leads up to a local summit/overlook. The speed limit is 20 MPH. As I'm engine braking down the hill behind a poky Isuzu SUV, a lycra-clad, waxed-legs cyclist passes me in my own lane, on the left, in a double yellow. If I had to, or wanted to, swerve around in my lane, I would have run him over and he'd probably have taken me with him. As we get down to the flat portion, I open my helmet and ride along him:  - "Dude, passing me in my own lane isn't safe." - "You know what, man! gently caress YOU! I've had enough of your... PULL OVER! PULL OVER NOW!" - "What? I said..." - (foam literally forming around his mouth) "Oh what, did I scare you? I've got a bike too. gently caress you, you little bitch!" - "I can't wait until someone turns your rear end into chunky salsa." ~~speeds away~~I've always felt some solidarity with my fellow two wheelers, but now I completely understand why people want to drive them into a ditch.

 There was one time I was coming to a stop at a junction to turn left, and when I was ready and pulling away a cyclist zoomed right up next to me on my left where I nearly mowed him down during the turn. Just back off and wait, jesus what's the rush? Though this was balanced out in the city centre where I stopped at some lights alongside a cyclist decked out with a helmet and hi-vis etc, when another cyclist sailed on through in a T-shirt into a crowd; the guy next to me yelled out to him "IT'S CALLED A RED RIGHT YOU FUCKIN' DICKHEAD" which made the idiot turn around and do the "what did I do?" arms out shrug. I would've laughed out loud but it would've been a disservice to this guy's righteous indignation.

I had a truck try to race me from a stoplight yesterday. I'm accelerating in first and I look over to see him trying to ride me real close in the lane on my right. Shifted up to second and I never saw him again.

I don't ride at the moment (football injury), but I had a discussion with a person at a party last weekend, where she said (and I quote): "People that ride motorcycles are the most egotistic assholes possible, risking their lives just for fun without thinking of their loved ones."dictionar.com posted:like the war crimes being perpetrated literally at the moment you're reading this in the brutal genocide of palestinians by israel and all of the citizens of israel including the poster Adary. loving hell man. The IP conflict is a shithole, but the attention it is getting on a global plane is absurd. The deadliest conflict the world has experienced for more than fifty years, a conflict involving troops from nine countries, spanning a battlefield the size of Western Europe, and which has resulted in more than five million dead. The first two years of this war, where some 1.8 million people died, the New York Times published eleven times more articles about Israel-Palestine (2000 deaths during the same time) and CNN 53 times as many. Guess which war I'm talking about (without asking Papa Google)? The IP conflict is one of the most over-reported conflicts in the world.

Google free, my first guess would have been Cambodia/Kampuchea in the 70s, which I think had a similar number of deaths, but does not meet your criteria of multiple nations, etc. At this end of the atrocity spectrum, it hardly matters. Once attended a lecture by Dith Pran. If you ever think you're having a bad day...

Some how I lost my key between the supermarket parking lot and my way back to the bike. I am a ADD addled nut job 99% of the time so I can't be completely surprised but it still annoyed the poo poo out of me. Luckily I found a paperclip on the ground and jammed it into the plug coming out of my ignition switch so I could get it started and ride it home. I was slightly surprised that while I was futzing around playing with wires hanging out of the back of the gauge cluster no one walking around the parking lot even gave me a second glance. I could have just as easily have been jacking one of the other 4 bikes that I was parked next to.

Similarly, when have you ever heard a car alarm go off and assumed it was a car being stolen rather than rain, a cat, a loud bike, etc. has set it off by accident? If you want to steal poo poo from a car, just dress respectably, and when the alarm goes off just look embarrassed if there are any onlookers. goddamnedtwisto posted:Is it the argument over planes on a treadmill?

I once took off while forgetting I had my chain tied around my back wheel, and thought I was stuck on Ice or something. Que the next 20 minutes trying to dislodge the lock out of the wheel and frame with my bare hands in the cold dark winter, around the side of a coffee shop in the city centre.

It's the second Congo war together with it's subconflicts, the Ituri and Kivu conflicts, and the ongoing LRA insurgency. My point is not that the Palestinians should man up because there's someone else that has it a lot worse, it's just very sad when people (out of a genuine belief) try to play off the IP conflict as the deadliest in the world, when the total death toll of the conflict since 1948 is lower than in anyone one month of 1999 in Congo. As always, no one gives a gently caress about Africa.
