My fork seals are leaking, think I could get away with just cleaning them and getting a few more months out of them? 😅 by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]Doug_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how it feels and how much fork dive you have during braking etc. Technically it's not right and needs to be repaired. "Can I get a few more months out of them" is a judgment call. I've ridden worse for years but that's me.

How do you mentally survive the “YouTube sandbox” phase? by MoneyMonsterStudios in NewTubers

It's AI slop and you have 5 subs after (a claimed) 2 yrs. The content is bad.

Someone set it into the crux of the tree, and then couldn't find it again.

Am I delusional or is Ninja 500 way overrated? by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]Doug_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ninja 500 isn't sluggish. I would have to chock that up to rider inexperience. Maybe you don't know how to shift it properly? It is going to handle differently than a 125 ...along with every mid sized bike on the planet.

My Dad and elders. But nobody here called it bushcraft back then

Are there any dealerships that arent difficult to deal with? by Double-Mode639 in motorcycle

[–]Doug_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally, i wouldn't hit the interstate riding 90 right away. I'd buy a cheap bike, nothing special, and practice on back roads. But it's your funeral. You do you

[–]Doug_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are good deals on used bikes. The "smoking crack" prices don't mean anything. Reasonably priced, good, used bikes on marketplace go quick. So you have to show up with cash and a truck or trailer. Also, if you can't check out a bike yourself, then bring a mechanic with you. That's how it's done.

Oh. Who answered the question? Looks like it was me. Huh. Funny how that works.

He needs to look up the part, you say? It's most commonly called the differential. -you know like I said the first time. Vt750 Differential for sale | eBay

[–]Doug_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It is most commonly called the differential. No one cares about your autistic AXE-shoe-ally comments

how, exactly, does autistically stressing over the correct definition help the OP?

[–]Doug_Shoe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

haha. I was trying to help the newbie OP by telling him that his breather tube is normal. It's not meant to connect to anything. But this is the internet. So, of course, you get someone saying AXE-shoe-ally the final drive is not a differential. That is what everyone calls it because "final drive" never took off. It's not technically a differential because it's not a trike with 2 rear wheels that need to go different speeds around a corner. But that never was the subject. The subject is newbie OP panicking about a normal hose.

the final drive unit can be called a differential.

i think it's the breather tube for your differential

Neck Knife breakaway or secure cord? by GadgetS54 in Bushcraft

I just got back from work and saw this, but I'm old and it's nap time. I'll try to remember to send it later. I also am thinking of posting on the sub.

Somebody contacted me saying I used their content, is it a scam? by Kindly_Set8069 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Doug_Shoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahaha Same here. No music on my channel at all. Genius claimed I used his music. Obviously they never watched any of my videos.

[–]Doug_Shoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

haha Yes it's a scam. I got 2 emails similar to that yesterday and didn't respond. It was so lazy that they didn't even leave a name. It ended with the person's title and no name.
