I like the hoodie. It's not Rick Owens or anything crazy, but it fits nicely and isn't actively offensive or anything. Though I live for those cheap $20 H&M hoodies, so maybe I'm classless.

An 07 SV650 with a little over 9k miles. It's in great shape mechanically and has brand new tires. The only thing wrong with it is that the first owner kept it outside so there's a decent bit of sun fading on the plastics. I'm really not that concerned with that though, especially since it's my first bike. I can't wait to get it registered so I can really ride it.

Thanks, I'm pretty excited. The quick little ride around the neighborhood already has me super excited. I definitely need to get my touch right on the clutch in first gear. It's been two years since I've rode any bike and I can tell I'm rusty with it.

Buy this. http://www.amazon.com/Crampbuster-CB2-CrampBuster-Wide/dp/B000GZPH2U

It not only makes it easier on your wrist to maintain highway/cruising speeds, but gives you much better throttle control at low speed because you're using your whole palm. Best :10bux: I've ever spent. Your camera hand will thank you too ;)

Wow, that's actually kind of cool and I've never seen it. It did come with thicker padded grips to help make it so you don't need to squeeze as hard, but throttling with your palm sounds super intriguing. And yes, gotta save that shutter hand.

This is actually something that most good tattoo artists hate. Usually they prefer to have the freedom do their own art/style, but he did a great job with the art and picked a artist that was cool enough to do that.

This isn't the tattoo megathread or anything but I didn't want people to read that and start drawing up their own garbage(McKilligan's again is not garbage, it is very good) and taking it into every tattoo shop in town where they will get yelled at and punted out the door.

Depending on the person, I don't think "most good ones" hate that because the majority of business is people picking stuff off of the wall that's a chinese letter or maybe some other pictogram asian language. I used to do tattoos at a very good studio here in Israel and while artists(the good ones, not me) really love being given free reign and usually do their best work like that a good and professional tattooist should not have qualms working with his or her client on what they want to get and they ought to respect in particular creative individuals who bring personal stuff.

If someone yells at you at a studio tell them to go gently caress themselves and go give your money to someone who acts like a professional.


That being said it's pretty sweet art McKilligan.


Edit: the letter "s".

I'm having a flashback to that episode of Family Guy where Joe is watching Steven Seagal and using the wireless headphones his wife got him, still screaming all the poo poo he'd normally scream.

That being said, I owned a set of those, and they work pretty great. Pretty much perfect for what you are planning, although I never tried the voice chat thing. I think you'll dig em.

I got a new bike.



It's a Giant Roam 2 2015. Hydraulic disc brakes, a nice fork and killer hardware. Got it at a shop that was closing for $400 vs $750. I'll be riding the poo poo out of it until I have to shelve it for the winter. It's one of the nicest bikes I've ever been on. Riding it is so effortless and smooth I can't imagine going back to my old cycle.

The same shop had everything under the roof at a deep discount so my youngest boy got a Giant too.



That's a $300 bike I that sold for $125. He was riding a Huffy before.

Not everyone has a smartphone ityool 2014 (I don't and have a second hand GPS). GPS also allow you to always have offline maps which can be handy in some situations.

Smartphones are so loving 2008.

e: What is a "GPS app" anyway? If it means what I think it means (i.e. there's no actual GPS receiver) then in about 100% of the situations where you actually need help with navigation they prove to be completely worthless trash. Of course they work fine when you just need directions to the nearest Chinese restaurant or something.

My aunt as a Lotus Elite phone and a GPS because she's not good with technology and does farm work so having any sort of smart phone would just be a waste for her and a liability, plus she likes having an actual tactile keyboard.

I guess I wasn't clear: GPS app means that it works based on the smartphone's GPS receiver.
The app I linked to not only gives directions to the indicated point, but calculates the quickest route based on traffic and alerts of accidents and highway police ahead.

Anyway, I haven't thought about not having a smartphone, of course I know people who don't have it, I guess it just didn't occur to me.

Screen and signal

1) For me, the bigger the screen, the safer the device. If I need to look at a complicated direction (go round the corner and take the second, half-hidden turn) then the less I have to focus on a smaller screen, the better. My ideal satnav is probably A5 and you don't want a phone that big (wait until iPhone 7 Plus)

2) I live in an area with crap mobile signal. More than once, I've missed a turnoff because my phone was waiting for data and so was displaying that wasn't where I really was. Map caching is supposed to be an option, but I've never been organised enough to sort it out for all the regions that I might be in.

I am somewhat surprised at how much better Google maps on my phone are than my Garmin.

Especially given that my entire smartphone cost slightly less than my dedicated satnav and the free maps app on it is just a small part of what the phone does.

EDIT: though at least my satnav doesn't demand access to my contacts database.

There are a few reasons I decided to buy a GPS:

- I live in Australia
- I have a prepaid cellphone with limited data and not-great battery life
- I spend a lot of time driving out in the country and in newly-developed suburban estates for which Google maps isn't always accurate
- As other posters have mentioned, having a large, dedicated touchscreen device with clear, simple directions is easier to follow than relying on my phone

Your Map App does that to be able to suggest your contacts' addresses when you start typing in poo poo. Not every permission an App wants automatically is used for evil purposes. Most of them have good reasons behind them (if it's not a flashlight App wanting to see your call history and location...).
