Couldn't get a picture of it, but on my way home from work I got to see a twenty foot trail of sparks flying off the left front brake on some 90s Cadillac after the wheel came off.

Collateral Damage posted:Way too many riders. The same kind of rider who swear that helmets are dangerous because the added weight will break your neck in a crash, and ABS brakes are bad because if they stop working you can't brake. wow. Well, there is an explanation for a lot of motorcycle accidents out there if this is truly a common thing to think. Lowside on purpose? whaaa... do they know that if they actually used the front brake they will stop WAY before the sliding friction of a bike and rider will stop? That's.. wow. Speechless. How did these people even get bike licences? ABS on a bike is fantastic. I wonder if they were ever taught the finesse of bike riding, for example, just before you do a major brake, tap the front brake a little to setting the bike down on the front shocks, and THEN pull up hard. I swear riding a motorbike for years before i even got my car licence taught me more about safety, shoulder checks, white space, and just.. general common sense. But obviously not ALL people get the intrinsic lessons that riding a lump of metal that falls over easy can teach you.

I don't really see much benefit in doing that over just coming on the brakes smoothly. If anything the extra delay will lengthen stopping distance and probably isn't something you can actually do in an emergency. I think it has more to do with how when you were a kid on a bicycle you just skidded to a stop with the rear brake only. Except these people just grew up and decided to buy a motorcycle and ride it the same way on occasional weekends.

The actual motorcycle license test at the DMV is a short multiple choice test (questions about lane position and how to deal with train tracks are common) and a series of set maneuvers done in the parking lot. There's some tricky low speed moves, but nothing at speed and nothing pertaining to accident avoidance. My state doesn't even have a helmet law, which is not uncommon, and there are no displacement restrictions. That and some money can get you 700 lb Harley or a 190 mph Hayabusa.

The most important thing for riding a motorcycle safely in my opinion is having extensive experience with on-road bicycling. That way you know how to handle a bike, you know that no traffic will ever see you, and you're used to keeping your head on a swivel. Guess what harley riders never, ever do?

Hmm, I commuted by bicycle for years in Portland before getting my license last year and a sportster, so I certainly couldn't guess what Harley riders never, ever do. I also wear more gear than most sport bike riders i see, so maybe I'm just an outlier. My brakes do suck, though.

rainwulf posted:How did these people even get bike licences? Alabama just passed a law last May requiring motorcycle riders to have a motorcycle endorsement on their license. It goes into effect on January 1, 2016. Prior to this, there was no requirement to have a motorcycle license to operate a motorcycle within the state. The test and endorsement were offered so you can legally operate a motorcycle in other states, but one was not required to operate within state lines.

CroatianAlzheimers posted:Motorcycle training, like driver's training, is a joke in this country. Though as stupidly simply as it is, it still results in a hilarious number of failures. When I was a kid I worked at a grocery store that was right next to the BMV, so when I was working out in the parking lot on weekends I'd get to see the motorcycle maneuverability test setup in operation. So many people failed so miserably, trying to wrestle their inevitably enormous bike around the course. The first test is a slalom with 12 foot spacing, I'm pretty sure I could have driven my Ranger through it, but old guys on Goldwings seemed to have a hell of a time with it. edit: Here's Ohio's "skills test" that you have to take before getting a full motorcycle endorsement - http://www.motorcycle.ohio.gov/mo_skill_test.pdf You're expected to have ridden for a while on the temp permit (which doesn't allow night riding or passengers) before taking the test so this should be a piece of cake. wolrah fucked around with this message at 21:33 on Aug 31, 2015 |

Yeah, except on road bicycling isn't really like a motorcycle at all. For example, we still have to follow laws. And road signs. And can't decide we want to act like a pedestrian suddenly when a light is red. Not to mention hardly anything from riding a bicycle transfers to a motorcycle.

iwentdoodie posted:Yeah, except on road bicycling isn't really like a motorcycle at all. Are you loving kidding? It's the exact same physics. Countersteering, picking the best line within your lane, avoiding potholes (and if you can't avoid one, accelerating over it to keep your front wheel up) as well as avoiding turning on manhole covers or other slippery markings on the road, keeping an eye out for debris or sand, keeping your head moving around to detect folks about to run a light or get out of their car, standing up on your pegs/pedals to get a better idea of what traffic is doing ahead? Learning not to target fixate? Many of these are things you will eventually make a mistake with, and it hurts a lot less to make a mistake while on a bicycle vs a motorbike. Maybe you've never ridden a bicycle in traffic? Not everyone rides like a spandex clad rear end in a top hat with no respect for the law. I mean they even told us in the MSF class (which I took over a decade ago) "You need to go ride a bicycle in traffic at least a few times to become comfortable with being completely invisible to cars and handling a two wheeled, single tracked vehicle on the road." Two of the biggest things they teach you, "See, Search, Evaluate, Execute" and taking the lane with confidence are things that you will already be comfortable with if you're an experienced road cyclist. That goes a long way to making you a safer motorcyclist. wilfredmerriweathr fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Sep 1, 2015 |

Looks like the outer race to me (tips toward the inboard face, so it's the outer and the inner is already gone), and that it wasn't a fan of whatever removal method was used. I'm more concerned by the garbage where the splined axle stub hole should be...

This is what happens when stance nation invades trucker/airbrake nation and it turns out they're as good at plumbing air lines as they are at welding control arms and you have one lock up 2 miles into a 5 mile show circuit.
