All my jackets and sweaters (motorcycle and otherwise) have the slider on the left. My A* Stella (womens) pants have the flap button right-over-left though.

I don't ride at the moment (football injury), but I had a discussion with a person at a party last weekend, where she said (and I quote): "People that ride motorcycles are the most egotistic assholes possible, risking their lives just for fun without thinking of their loved ones."dictionar.com posted:like the war crimes being perpetrated literally at the moment you're reading this in the brutal genocide of palestinians by israel and all of the citizens of israel including the poster Adary. loving hell man. The IP conflict is a shithole, but the attention it is getting on a global plane is absurd. The deadliest conflict the world has experienced for more than fifty years, a conflict involving troops from nine countries, spanning a battlefield the size of Western Europe, and which has resulted in more than five million dead. The first two years of this war, where some 1.8 million people died, the New York Times published eleven times more articles about Israel-Palestine (2000 deaths during the same time) and CNN 53 times as many. Guess which war I'm talking about (without asking Papa Google)? The IP conflict is one of the most over-reported conflicts in the world.

KozmoNaut posted:I'll bite. Akion posted:I'm gonna have to go with Africa. Seems like there's always some nasty civil war going on there. MoraleHazard posted:This is a stumper, and I'm generally good with geo-politics stuff. CNN was reporting on this war so I imagine it was from the 70s onward? It's the second Congo war together with it's subconflicts, the Ituri and Kivu conflicts, and the ongoing LRA insurgency. My point is not that the Palestinians should man up because there's someone else that has it a lot worse, it's just very sad when people (out of a genuine belief) try to play off the IP conflict as the deadliest in the world, when the total death toll of the conflict since 1948 is lower than in anyone one month of 1999 in Congo. As always, no one gives a gently caress about Africa.

And it's not exactly my fault as "a European" that social policy is lacking in the US. Then again, your much lower taxes because of this really should help in saving for stuff you want, I guess.

Let me tell you about buying my very first bike, with beeeeeautiful original paint, and scratching it the first week on both sides thanks to not noticing my knee braces had exposed aluminium screws on them (I put on the braces outside my pants that day just to test how it felt).

I think it was Ola who test rode one and thought it was pretty great? EDIT: yup. Ola posted:Tried a Honda NC700S today. They had the NC700X as well, but it didn't have the auto box which was what I wanted to try. It was a pretty nice ride. Nidhg00670000 fucked around with this message at 10:22 on May 14, 2015 |

Radbot posted:How about we talk about "fanny" or "box" instead? I think I might name my bike The Fanny Box, the ultimate non-offensive bike name. Fanny is a girls name, right? It's actually a name that used to be somewhat common in England and Sweden. Well, a swedish woman named Fanny made some 15-minute headlines here when she moved to England and the authorities refused to let her have her birth name on her ID they issued her on account of it "being offensive". Fanny. For fucks sake.

I just use Swish (silly name) for all transactions to private parties, and my debit card for regular shopping. Not even being hyperbolic when I say I haven't had a coin or banknote on me in over three months. Even used Swish when I bought the El Camino, just swished the guy his money, took the keys and left.

My 690 was like that. Stalling at a very specific throttle input, right at the transition between idle and low throttle. I increased the fuel at specific points in the map, all over the map, under the map, between the map, nothing helped. Then I put the db-killer into the Akra and never had a problem since??

Coydog posted:Wing's has very clearly communicated that "WINGS muffler is designed in the way that with dB-killer mounted there is no need to remap". I didn't have the stock exhaust on long enough to experience any stalls because it melted melted everything. If I'm being completely honest with myself, I think the issue cropped up in the week after I installed the Wings. Yeah, mine had no problems whatsoever with snatchy throttle, random flameouts and poo poo like that until I got the Evo2 kit installed. Akra also claims the db-killer doesn't matter for the map, which is clearly not true (I know of several cases where the insert has made a big difference, although if in or out is the correct solution varies).

MomJeans420 posted: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. Just practice a bit and then do this every night? https://youtu.be/boI71KRxTTY?list=FLHvOhDBgZqoQg91sw57_-aw&t=97 The Bananana posted:What state has the most vehicle/motorcyclist accidents?

I had LASIK on both eyes 11 years ago, and my left eye still gets dry enough at times that I need some eye drops. I've also got some starbursts, but I don't regret it in the slightest, tho.

Slavvy posted:It is entirely possible, indeed not even that difficult, to get perfect torques by feel alone on all the 'normal' bolts on the bike, things like clutch cover screws, side stand bolts etc and being able to do this without clutching mum's dress in one hand and a clicker in the other is part of what determines whether the fixing thing is for you. At some point you have to develop a sense of feel and trust in yourself; if you need to follow step by step manual instructions for every little thing, check in the mirror you might be an IT guy. And since you don't use a torque wrench you know they are perfectly torqued how?

I used to scoff at people having problems like that, owning three bikes with different controls, seating positions and uh, usability. Then I bought my MT-09SP with up/down quick-shifter and other shebangs and riding my SV for the first time in forever yesterday was a miserable experience. "Why is the clutch so weird, why is the suspension so bad, why is the lighting so weak, why is the seating so cramped, oh god I tried to downshift without the clutch again" etc etc etc
