GriszledMelkaba posted:That tie-down job looks like poo poo I've always hated using tie downs. you can damage the handlebar grips and it's always hard to tell if everything is exactly even or balanced. On top of that it takes several minutes to get everything set up right. Getting a Pitbull TRS was a game changer for me. Of course, that won't work if you have to position the bike diagonally in a bed. Maybe my dreams of getting a kei truck for track days is dashed. Edit: Terrible page snipe. Here's a cool bike I saw

They do, just, they also do excellent burnouts when empty, the bed has a tipper and is sized on a multiple of the standard japanese market fish bin so you can stack those in there with no wasted space. They come in Nissan, Mazda and Daihatsu flavour too.

I think, empty, it might just about make it to an indicated 100km/h on the speedometer, if you're lucky. 85km/h is more reasonable, and also the speed at which lorries are limited, so in theory you could move the little critter over the highway if you really must.

The iron cross specifically, and no other German military iconography, has a history in motorcycling which, absent other signs, may not necessarily mean the rider is a Nazi. Please note the strength of these caveats. Purely statistically, it's fair to assume the guy is guilty until proven innocent Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Jun 20, 2023 |

Incidentally I looked it up and the German military has not awarded any decoration resembling the Iron Cross since 1945, so in the microscopic chance that this motorcycle's rider is a 95-year-old man who somehow was awarded one...

Fascists love to co-opt others’ symbols because they have no creativity or longevity of their own. While I can appreciate wanting to take some of those symbols back, my main goal is not hanging out with fascists so I’m just gonna avoid anything fascist-adjacent. And that’s as a big white guy. I can just do a Harley Guy impression and slip away. For the people that can’t do that, you’re just always going to be assumed to be a Nazi if you have poo poo like that on your bike. Don’t like it? Tough titties.

My partner still thinks it's funny how mad I got when I realized people out here in Oregon do Civil War reenactment. YOU DIDN'T FIGHT IN IT WHAT IS THERE TO REENACT I also know a truly, genuinely good dude who got sucked into it for a while back east and he was on the Confederate side because it was way, way cheaper to buy their gear. Probably something to do with their labor costs. He is very ashamed of this.

It’s the grossest kind of cosplay. I don’t have any numbers but I’d be willing to bet that people who were actually in a war don’t often go on to be war reenactors

Don't know that it has anything to do with civil war buffs and cosplayers, but Oregon has an incredibly racist history that has somehow escaped notice by a majority of people but still informs attitudes all over the state outside of Portland. No joke, the first time I heard someone say the N word in person was on a road trip through eastern Oregon as a kid

No joke, the first time I heard someone say the N word in person was on a road trip through eastern Oregon as a kid Yeah, the white lady I moved out here for (who very quickly dumped me) told me she felt super safe in Portland and then when I met my current, Latina partner she taught me why even a lot of very well intentioned white people say that. You can’t just count the rainbow flags and BLM signs. You’ve got to look at the actual policies, which are just written entirely by the Portland Business Alliance and its weirdo old money dipshits. I know a lot of BIPOC folks who prefer the southern US because at least you know where you stand.
