Try taking a couple of international business classes (or better yet, watch Rising Sun - it stars Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes, and there's titties)

When someone uses a word I don't know I am usually happy to learn a new word and expand my lexicon. Seems better than feeling dumb for not knowing a thing and derision towards the person who shared it, but that's just me.

While deployed to Norway with the US military I had the privilege of hearing a senior enlisted member mumble "why don't you speak fuckin' English?" At a pair of Norwegian sentries. Like, everyone in that part of Norway speaks perfect loving English, they were just shooting the poo poo while on duty  I think if it were 1985 and the Japanese were still poised to take over the economy of the entire world it might be more fair to expect everyone to know random terms from Neil Stephenson novels.

The titties comment is me busting Chiche's balls b/c he's playing up the meathead cop stereotype he runs with every now and again, and I know the dude isn't stupid. I find it a little ironic ANYONE, particularly a dude w/ an MP5 avatar and a comment about broken spines and roller locks of love, is trying to play the nerd card on this dead gay internet forum.

Holy poo poo, just put my bike in for MOT* and the examiner noticed the rear wheel nut was on finger-tight at best. I'm 99.9999% certain I tightened it up properly last time I adjusted the chain tension a couple of weeks ago, and I washed the bike at the weekend (and did about 40 motorway miles since) and didn't notice it then. However IMO it's way more likely that I just completely forgot to fully tighten the nut (and then just missed it on my normal quick once-over when I washed it) than it somehow backing off in that period of time but either way that's really loving scary because how many times more might I have missed it? Also fair play to the examiner who noticed it at first glance of the bike as he was wheeling it in (and a big gently caress you to my riding feel because the slack on the axle meant the back wheel had like an inch of play). Now I'm going to spend my birthday going over every fastener with the service manual and a torque wrench because all I can see is the entire bike falling apart like a clown car the first time I go over a pothole. * annual safety inspection required for all bikes over 3 years old in the UK - south-east UK goons I can really thoroughly recommend The Test Centre at Deptford because a) they're cheap and b) their inspectors are apparently savants, or at least considerably less loving stupid than me.

Have you got the ultra-dumb axle that has nuts on either end?

Yeah it was fine, I just had to stop every 10 miles or so to kick the axle back in. I mean, I wouldn't have passed it for state inspection if someone brought it in to the shop, come on.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Yes... is that more likely to back out then? It is super more likely yeah. You have to do your chain tension in a particular way or poo poo just comes loose. What I normally do is tighten the nuts snug but not super tight, then set chain tension (only tension, if you have to back it off you've hosed up and have to start over), tighten the nuts up, then do a final quarter turn or so on the adjuster bolts so they don't come loose and fall out. Also be sure to grease the nut threads lightly but NEVER THE FLANGE for what should be obvious reasons. I honestly don't understand that design and particularly how it made it past the various safety legislations, or why they haven't changed it for twenty years, or what benefit it's supposed to yield. There is literally no secondary retention system, it relies entirely on things being put together with surgical precision and I can think of at least three ways to make it less terrible that wouldn't be difficult for the factory to do or alter the appearance of the bike at all.

High performance bikes tend to do away with the castelated nut and cotter pin, but there's still deformed thread lock nuts, nylocks, nordlock washers, holes for safety wire, tab-lock washers, set-screw insert in the nut, methods of locking the nut on there, I think a lot of bikes use slightly deformed threads on the nut.

Was searching for info on the special edition Daytona 765 that's supposed to be announced late August, and came across this thumbnail: Absolutely not clicking on that because I hate moto vloggers and don't want to gently caress up my youtube recommendations, but if he does go through with it, I'm expecting some incredible video later this year. Probably best for all yellow Porsches to stay garaged for the winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYmqZBDk_eI

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Pretty sure this is what got mine. And yeah the design of that thing is stratospherically dumb. Extra short nuts, one on each end, and no locking system of any kind. It's a wonder every one of those bikes hasn't crashed and killed someone. Most monster owners don't appear to believe in maintenance so that's probably keeping the numbers down.
