Hey, everybody, get a load of this guy. Military guy two states away who started posting in our local FB groups his beg to have others foot the bill to "get him on two wheels again". Details are hard to get out of him. Insurance? No, he didn't feel like paying for that for his shiny red expensive supersport. Also, he was deemed at least "1% at fault" so the other party's insurance doesn't have to pay anything. Now, I'd think it was adorable that he was this dumb and just let him fail, except for his lowly plee to "get back on two wheels again" is asking for $5000. The audacity of it. He doesn't want to get on two wheels again, he specifically want's to get on those super shiny awesome expensive wheels. Like, I get it. Someone else caused me to no fault total my SV a couple years back, leaving me to foot the ER bill and my gear and accept an insurance valuation of my bike that was 1600 for a bike worth 3200. Then I took that meager sum and immediately spent it on college tuition, even though it killed me. Then I spent a year miserable without a bike, doing all manner of soul crushing jobs to just work my way back up to a beater bike in the 1300 range, while also supporting myself, and also properly budgeting for a new set of gear before I bought anything. This miserable gently caress didn't even bother to insure himself, is on the goverment payroll, likely can't ride for poo poo and target fixated/didn't leave enough room/grabbed too much front brake (because he was "thrown from the bike"), and now his lowly request to get "back on two wheels" is for a bike I couldn't afford for years. If you care so much about that two wheeled lyfe, you'd get a beater ninja or bandit or whatever and deal with the consequenses of your actions. Seriously, get a load of this pissant. Posting here, so I can delay ripping him apart on social media. "I however do have bruising on my lower testicles making it hard to walk" I'm surprised it hurts, because you gotta have balls of steel to flip back and ask other people to buy you another luxury item after you didn't take proper care of the one you had before. ALSO- Dude looks like Jennifer Lawrence with short hair. https://www.gofundme.com/help-me-back-on-2-wheels-2uvv2qk

In my experience, if he just leaves the bike there long enough someone will give him money for a new one.

The guy's forks look straight (or straightenable) and there doesn't seem to be any serious structural damage. There isn't even any leaking oil/coolant ffs. Strip off the fairing and for under $500 in parts he could probably have a badass streetfighter. Coydog, go on your local craigslist and buy the cheapest thing in the /mcy/ section and drop it off on his lawn. I'm guessing it'll be one of those little plastic monkey bike scooter things.

I feel like people can scroll past if they want, and that's why I try to have pictures for the reading impaired. It probably seems like a lot of effort posts, but writing is My Thing, and this stuff takes a minute or two to generate, straight from the dome. I enjoy it.  Chichevache posted:In my experience, if he just leaves the bike there long enough someone will give him money for a new one. This made me laugh, thank you. Finger Prince posted:Gonna need some pics of this douchebag short haired Jennifer Lawrence looking motherfucker. Ahh, For... Reference... *cough*in a cocktail dress*cough* somebody say something?

Strip off the fairing and for under $500 in parts he could probably have a badass streetfighter. I was thinking the same thing, except it looked like the rear subframe was a bit cockeyed. Local supermoto kid was in a similar situation , though, and is rebuilding his bike himself, because he is awesome. I think his bike is salvagable, for sure, but he is too stupid to know this. So, unable to resist, I took a few minutes after getting home from class to reply this to him: EffortReply posted:I know exactly how you feel. A couple years back I had a genuinely no fault crash involving flung debris at night. Totaled out my bike, and I was left to pay for the ER, plus replacement gear, and the insurance company valued my bike at 50% of market value. I EDIT: WOW! Ok, so the guy took the bad medicine like an absolute champ, and we are now buddies with me helping him figure out what he needs to get the bike back on the road for about 600, and he said he has always wanted a streetfighter, but no money or idea of how to work on bikes. Nice guy, and willing to learn and put work in. I'm glad I was nice. Coydog fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Oct 19, 2016 |

Oh you guys. No need to be jealous. I'd do the same for any of you. And by the same, I mean ridicule you for sport for being dumb, then provide help from my vast mental storehouses once you bowed to my obvious superiority.

No no, that is the correct mindset. A proper assessment of the stupidity of squids spans both age, and gender. I don't understand why you would want a ratted up caged out broken sportbike for wheelies and stoppies when the dirt bike platform does all that right out of the box with panache.

Well if the videos on YouTube posted by "Blox Starz" are any indication of what some of the larger stunt groups are into, the wheelies and stoppies are only half the fun. The other half is running when you inevitably cross paths with a cop. Here's one of their videos from my city to illustrate this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMB-y8IaFqo They've got more where they show you how to intentionally dent and gently caress up your tank. I've often heard that some of these bikes are stolen. There's also tons of legitimate bikes sitting on salvage lots. Super cheap route if you're not plating or insuring your bike and will gently caress up the bike a bit more anyway.

You're probably also over-estimating the ford crown victoria and police driving ability in general.

You're probably also over-estimating the ford crown victoria and police driving ability in general. The U-turn was the only thing that saved him, really, and the fact that it looked like a helicopter wasn't out at the time. This is where he made the turn.  Unless there was another cop ready to go in the northbound lanes, there was no easy way to follow with the median set up like that. It's hard to tell, but there's a little bit of a mound there, and the gap between the rail on the jersey barrier is a few feet at most. I will say I do enjoy their videos if only because I like trying to figure out where they are in my city when they're running. Like a more extreme version of GeoGuessr.

Bloody insurance company robot sent me a renewal reminder a month early. I didn't notice this until after I debited them £200 for the new policy; rang them up and nope, sorry, it's too early to just push the start date back, you'll have to cancel the new policy and take it out again next month. I'll have the money back in 3 or 4 days they say. I'm so glad I decided not to gently caress around with finance this year, or it probably would have been much more nightmarish to cancel.

One of my favorite things about riding in Winter is that it apparently means you are a super hero, even in California, where the weather can get to an unbearable 50 degrees in January.

A couple years ago when I was looking for a classic style leather jacket, I was remarking to the clerk at the gear store how difficult it was to find a nice leather jacket where I live. The clerk said "That's because it doesn't get cold here." I replied "What? It gets below freezing." "Not during the riding season." I looked at him like he was a loving alien. "Every day is riding season."

When I bought my mesh jacket I commented to the clerk about not trusting its protection. He said, "oh here, I wrecked that exact jacket, this is how it does at about 90 mph on the track" and pulled up some of his crash photos on the store computer. Sold.

I love it when it starts getting wet and "cold" here (it was about 48 this morning). It means I don't have to come back to three other bikes squeezed next to mine haphazardly in the parking garage. I am so in love with the Klim stuff. I was riding along in heavy rain a few mornings ago and a truck next to me decided it would be rad to drive in the ruts, so it was like someone turned a hose on me on the highway. 5 seconds or so until I got enough ahead of him to get out of the spray. Completely dry, no leaks whatsoever. It was expensive, but man I can't tell you how nice it is to get to work without being soaked somewhere.

People who don't ride in cold don't know what they're missing, and cost-wise you can justify the dual use. I shoveled snow in my jacket and riding pants last winter and had to take the jacket off because I was getting warm.
