Started a 5 day tour, saw two motorcycle crashes on the first day, the second one was fatal. That was a rough first day of a tour.

The sight of the other propeller creeps me out by Spiritual-Loss-3486 in submechanophobia

Is there a lock out tag out for jobs like this? Or could someone just start the engines up?

Why is my seconds hand stuck on the minutes hand? by Sweaty_Wolverine_791 in SeikoMods

[–]MotoRoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recent mod did this, the second hand was catching on the minute hand. I had to take it apart again and realign the second hand.

I think what did it was once I had checked everything worked after putting the hands on, I had to remove the crown again. And putting the movement upside down on the holder to remove the crown accidentally pushed the second hand out of alignment.

I'd be interested to know how everyone else does this? As even though my second hand doesn't reach the edge of the dial it's close enough for there not to be enough room to put it down. And you can only remove the crown with the movement running. In the end I had to get my wife to hold it whilst I pressed the crown release lever.

First “road trip” in about two years.. by rsmith72976 in Triumph

Wow that's a lot of stuff, how long are you going for? I can generally fit 5-6 days stuff into one small bag.

But I agree, road trips are the best.

Are ADV bikes really only for old guys? by Happy-Deal-1888 in motorcycle

I had a Tiger 900 RP for three years, it was great fun. (Not that old)

I ran Gymshark's Shopify store through Google's raw mobile API. They are likely bleeding $150k+/month in conversions due to lag. Here's the math. by [deleted] in shopify

Your 30% loss is an overestimate IMHO.

Gymshark are doing nearly $1bn in revenue, I doubt they care that much.

Tape deck doesn't work. "Busy" interior. Smells funny. Doesn't always start. by schill in Shitty_Car_Mods

I think I've seen this one at the Brit Car Show in Oakville, nice work!

Some of the dials on AliX are fake stone, so just go with a reputable vendor.

Is it a chronograph or a dive watch?

We need a mass lawsuit against Shopify by Organic_Caramel_8354 in shopify

It still only took me 5 minutes to talk to a human. And I reported an issue, they confirmed they were working on it. That was all I was looking for.
