The only place in Idaho I've ever ridden a motorcycle is where there's no cell service or in Montana and it's pretty much a 50/50 split between enduros and Harleys.

Oh and we have distracted driving laws too and it doesn't matter, everyone is on their phone constantly when driving. I find my car horn to be much more effective at stopping it than the law.

Some fucker stole my bike cover from my flats underground car park while my bike was at work. It’s a £15 cover, go buy your own you little scrote. Luckily they didn’t take the nest of chains and locks that was sitting next to it. Horse Clocks fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Sep 7, 2018 |

I'm going to replace all my seals and o-rings in my brake system and just fill the thing with MIL-H-5606 or MIL-PRF-83282. I can get those as waste from work. edit: straight hydraulic fluids do not make good brake fluids. This is a bad plan. babyeatingpsychopath fucked around with this message at 02:41 on Sep 8, 2018 |

Do they have 5.1? You can use that in a DOT 4 system, just don't use DOT 5

I was able to find a couple tiny bottles of DOT4, and next to it was 5.1. Totally new to me, is it an even higher boiling point?

That’s what I thought, but if you’re going to do that why not steal the chains too. If you’re gonna make a bike more theft friendly, you’d take the locks away too right? I guess stupid criminals are called stupid for a reason.

I have never seen anything lower than dot4 in my life, the notion of an auto parts place or gas station not having any is mindboggling. Like I'm astonished you can still buy dot 3 anywhere.

I think somebody tried to steal my bike in London last year, but thought twice after uncovering it (the almax chain is thicker than my arm) but they did take the cover. Minor and irritating crime!

Do your covers not have chain holes? My cover has a hole to loop the chain through.

That’s pretty drat brazen. Plus several videos of near misses of scooters two up pulling up beside someone at a stoplight and attempting to steal their bike.

Thanks to 8 years of cuts to police numbers, plod pretty much won't even turn up to look at any crime that doesn't involve blood. Also crims realised a few years ago that after a couple of plain-clothes plod were involved in the death of a completely innocent scooter rider* that they won't now chase anyone on two wheels, which is how they've got quite so brazen. * Okay Henry Hicks wasn't completely innocent, but his death and the coverup over it was complete loving bullshit, and rather than address the ridiculous behaviour of the two Plod involved in his death ACPO ordered a blanket ban on all pursuits of motorcycles by non-specialist officers, which has led to an absolute explosion in bike-based crime as well as a massive increase in bike thefts to provide the criminals with transport.

They have admitted their handling of bike crime is lacklustre, and are reviewing ways to deal with the problem. But given the new London lock/cover campaign is pretty much “it’s your fault if it gets stolen”.

I had a very fun incident the other day. Car stops in front of me with left signal on. "OK, cool, they are gonna turn into the parking lot over yonder." I move to pass them on the right. They turn right. I panic brake. I had to stop for about 5 seconds to reconsider my life choices.

Coydog posted:Fixed your typo I may be Russian, but there is no need to resort to stereotypes. Another bullshit moment - I was riding with my gf on the pillion along a 4 lane road (2 each way). Some guy turned left onto my road's left lane from a stop sign, apparently without looking. I had to switch lanes or he would have hit us for sure. I gave him the old Picard wave a couple times, and he slowed down to like 1/3rd the speed limit and disappeared behind me...

Split past an audi today and the fucker chose that exact moment to hit their windscreen spray, which didn't even hit the windscreen but sailed past the driver side window and right into my loving eyes Like... how. Why. It was so bizarre it's hard to be mad.

Yeah on a ton of cars you can just grab the nozzle with vise-grips and crank it around to whatever angle you want. I am fairly sure that the old minivan my family had when I was a kid had the fluid lines run along the wiper blades so it just kind of dribbled onto the windshield. Why don't cars do that any more?
