KARMA! posted:Well I was sitting on the floor and then I got up. That's it. That's the whole loving story. I sat, I stood, I snapped. I have no clue how this happened. I did not roll my foot awkwardly, bumped it against something other than the floor apparently. I guess the floor hates my foot now. I'm sorry, but that's pretty hilarious. Hope it heals quick. I wish I could learn a lesson from this.

Whoever 'rebuilt' this engine only had half the friction plates he needed. Problem solved.

A friend of mine broke his leg sitting down on a bus. He was about to sit down, the bus shook, he somehow got his legs crossed as he shifted his weight downwards, and bam, spiral fracture. He was in a cast for months. Bodies are weird sometimes.

Holy Christ, coming back from lunch just now I got behind a guy on some ratty old bike. His rear wheel was off at least 3-5 degrees from his front with respect to the vertical. You could actually see the twist in the chain. I tried to get his attention (after trying to get a picture, natch) but I don't think it would have mattered. He seemed like the type that would just shrug it off.

Its right outside of his house on a residential street, they apparently pulled up late and have been trying to get it almost every night, despite last night both scooters being chained together. I seriously hope they start handing down harsher sentences for stealing bikes over here, people are way too brazen about it.

Witnessed my first 'could have been serious' motorcycle accident. Motorcyclist was on a highway taking a left turn into the restaurant we were sitting at. He had slowed down to about ~10mph when the car behind him decides to not see him and gives him a firm love tap from behind. Motorcyclist ends up hitting the throttle full blast on his Harley. This sends him straight into the oncoming traffic. He lays 'er down and his body misses the oncoming car by a close margin as his bike smashes into the car and gets totaled. Luckily, the oncoming driver had been relatively attentive and slammed on the brakes. Guy wasn't wearing any protective gear (outside of his decorative vest). Somehow he ended up with only some pretty bad road rash, but nothing more serious that we could tell. Bonus points to a guy in a giant truck who had signal flares, traffic triangles, a first aid kit, and everything else indicating that he had been waiting his entire life to be able to help when an accident happened. He was a champ.

Jesus. When you say no protective gear, that's including a helmet?  Props to Mad Max: Safety Warrior.

MoraleHazard posted:It's how so many roll around here. I was really surprised over the fourth of July weekend on how many people ride without any protective gear. I'd say 80% of people I saw were wearing no helmet and typical stereotype biker garb (i.e. vests and un-ironic rear end-less chaps). This is also in rural Minnesota over the holiday weekend - when most people are riding touring Harleys and the occasional Gold Wing. And the guy who crashed was absolutely not wearing a helmet. He's a lucky, lucky guy.

There's some leather place in NJ that keeps posting an add for rear end-less chaps in the motorcycle section of craigslist on a regular basis. Every time I do a search they are there.

Happened 4 or 5 times in the last few months. A friend of mine lived for six months in a flat in Soho that had used to be a brothel and almost every night managed to have (surprisingly polite) conversations with slightly confused men who knocked on his door looking for Trixie, 22. Still, the rent was cheap and there was a bidet right in the room.

Dear individual driving on a spare tire: thank you for not driving above the tire's speed rating of 50mph. However, I humbly request that you, at the very least, put on your hazard lights, if not pull the gently caress over when there are 20 goddamn cars behind you.

I don't really know what the gently caress happened this morning, so I'll just tell the story. I was on my way to work. I take Hwy 26 west to downtown Portland, it's about 25 miles or so. About 5 miles before the tunnel that leads to downtown Portland, a guy cut in front of me from the far-right to the far left. It wasn't a big deal, just a dick move. I kept an eye on him for the most part, and a couple miles passed when I saw him again in the far-right lane. Once you get about 500 feet from the tunnel and through the tunnel, all lanes become "do not change lanes" country. Each lane goes a different direction. Left goes north, middle goes downtown, and right goes southeast. He's in the far-right lane still. I'm in the middle, going downtown. Halfway through the tunnel, he gets in front of me. Again, dick move, but not really endangering my life or anything. Then we go up the ramp to a stoplight, where I need to be in the far-left lane. He tries to get in front of me, but I was already passing him so he got in behind me. I turn left at the light, I go through a few stoplights, and I notice he's beside me, with his passenger window down, and has been yelling something at me. At first I figured I had a light out or my tailbag was slipping off or something, but I was turning right at that point, so I don't know what he was yelling about. I parked and checked. Nothing wrong. Dude yelled at me for like 2 blocks, though. tl;dr: Guy follows me for several blocks yelling about something. Also, he drives like old people gently caress.

Things to do when people yell at you on the street: -Start giving them directions to somewhere complete with hand signals. -Act like you are deaf and do fake sign language before finally throwing the "I give up" sign. -Act like they are hitting on you. Talk about the date and when a good time for you is. -Act like they are talking about how nice they think your bike is and how they used to ride. -Listen to the entire rant quietly while nodding. When they finish yell: "WHAT DID YOU SAY? I COULDN'T HEAR YOU." -Make your eyes really wide and stare directly in their eyes while they yell at you. -Speak in tongues while rolling your eyes in the back of your head. -Calmly walk to the back of their car with saying anything. (Be ready to jump out of the way if they slam it in reverse) The possibilities are endless. Just try not to get shot or whatever.
