Here4DaGangBang posted:Also revbombs are lame as gently caress at the best of times, especially so when used in place of a horn. My horn button is in an awkward spot, so I give a quick rev instead when someone is asleep at a green light on their phone. Really get's em movin'. Also I don't lane split or filter as much as I used to, but I'll totally do it if I have places to be and have to go through a ton of gridlock. It's been the only way I've seen friends in Atlanta this past month. PCOS Bill posted:Wow, I follow every traffic law religiously, you should try it. You couldn't lanesplit your dadbikes anyways and you know it.

The way to deal with brain dead people at stoplights is to leave enough space in front of you to be able to just ride around them. If I had to sum up my riding style at this point it would be "pass everything, pass constantly". You can't get in conflicts and don't have to worry about anything behind you cause it's already gone.

If you can't be splitting, always be passing.

Funny this came up. My company has been working with another company based in Indiana for the past few months. During a call with one of their reps that I've come to know over the course of our business relationship, she mentions her husband rides. I casually mention prior business trips to Indiana and the awe of seeing people ride without helmets. This woman, who is very sensible, brilliant minded when it comes to her profession, and extremely nice in all other aspects stated: "He doesn't wear one. It used to bother me, but now I realize if he wrecks it would not save his life." I don't think I've ever changed a conversation topic so fast in my life.

I changed jobs and my new office building has a magnetic sensor that doesn't recognize my bike, which means my key card won't open the gate, and I can't just take a ticket to get in. Even better is the gates are not manned, there is someone in an office in the morning that can see me get stuck and open the gate for me, but at night I'm on my own. The gate (wood bar, whatever) is long enough that I can't get by, I tried one day, almost dropped the bike trying to lean it far enough to get by, then got it stuck on my side until the car behind me opened it up. Is there One Weird Trick (TM) to get around this? I'm tempted to just hacksaw off 1ft of the gate late at night. There is a "press here to call for help" button, which after 10 calls (not rings, calls) to a number no one answers, will eventually cause the gate to open, but that takes around 5 mins. I did see a cruiser in the garage one day, I think I'm going to have to be the weirdo who leaves a note on someone's bike asking how the gently caress they get in and out every day. I'm guessing the bike is just enough bigger to set off the sensor.

Get some strong-assed magnets and put them on the bottom of the bike so they line up perpendicular to the sensor loop under the pavement. I used a couple from an old dead hard drive I had. I did this to trip a traffic light sensor by my old house when I couldn't get the city government to adjust it. Assuming that parking gate uses the same kind of sensor it should work. edit: or just crash it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eQZLd6AABE

I didn't realize I could ask them to adjust it, I'll try harassing the building today. I have roughly a million old hard drives lying around, I'll try taping a bunch of those to the bottom if nothing else works. As an added bonus it should pick it everything metal on the highway and collect it for me.

One of the many reasons why London is basically paradise but with more litter is that many car parks* offer free motorbike parking, but because it would be complicated and expensive to work out a way of letting them park for free that wouldn't be abused, they just cut three feet off the end of the barrier so you can ride around it. * especially the Westminster Council/Q-Park ones in the West End, including the Chinatown underground car park (faithfully recreated in the hardest level in The Getaway, if anyone remembers that game) which has the best acoustics of any space on Earth. Even a little 125 sounds like a caged animal down there, something from Italy sounds like the end of civilisation as we know it. I've been known to walk two or three miles in full gear, ignoring many parking spots closer to my destination, just so I can park down there.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:I believe the AMA's official stance on helmet laws is against them. I dunno if they actually campaign on them. Do they do anything about lane splitting? The only thing I've heard of them agitating about is anti-ethanol poo poo. Thanks, AMA, keeping the priorities straight. Word. I bitched them out in a reply to a survey the other day. gently caress the 20 dirtbags on dirtbikes that are restricted from riding 1/1000 of this gagnormous land mass, gently caress the graybeards and their prehistoric iron garbage that won't run E10. How about actually PROMOTING MOTORCYCLING by making commuting a more attractive option? It will get more people on bikes if they can filter through the shitstorm of commuting fucktards! The AMA is just like the NRA - an organization that represents manufacturers and patronizes owners, using them as muscle for their lobbying efforts on behalf of the manufacturers. The only reason I'm a member is for the cheap roadside assistance.

If they don't agree with him, well, tough titty, form your own organization to lobby against them.
