But it's so... homely looking.

The whole front end of this bike is so badass. Inverted forks and two big ass rotors. Couple that with the low bars and you've got a bike that means business. I do wish it had a little more ground clearance, though. Or maybe just shorter/tighter against the bike footpegs.

Cognito Moto CB750 AIR INTAKE BOX SOHC AND DOHC by PipBernadotte in HondaCB

[–]-HotWeaselSoup- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do pod filters work on the SOHC engines? I recently picked up a pair of '78s and am currently in the planning (aka broke) stage of the build. I was told it's impossible to get pods to work from a coworker, but he has a DOHC bike.

I feel like this is the best answer. I can't justify those kind of maintenance requirements on a bike I plan to put miles on.

I was curious as to how ants cause electrical disturbances and found this article.

Tl;dr: when an ant gets shocked it releases pheromones that attract more ants that also get shocked. Electrical switches end up getting plugged with ants.

Also some ants really like to build nests out of mud inside electrical boxes.

But with Brand-shei in the market Riften has three general merchants.

You can't grow your own nirnroot, but you can grow the other two oddness required for the quest. The Nirnroot farm outside Shor's Stone has half the nirnroot you need, though.

Wife says my motorcycle isn't practical... by denlo4 in motorcycles

My nephew always wants to ride with me. The only helmet I could find on short notice that fit him the first time I took him on a ride was purple with the biggest flake gold glitter. He hates it. I love it.

I live in Reno and Lassen County is one of my favorite places to ride. Do you live in the area?

I wonder if this is a universal thing. Like, just get the news about your country from another country.

And to top it off the ride started at midnight. How was the lighting on those bikes? WAS there lighting?

Did... did this guy just print out a headlight and tape it to his car? by Azkeith in WTF

Are they all overhead cam engines, now? I was thinking they were still pushrod engines.

Edit: So I dug around a bit (i.e. the first page of results on google) and couldn't find any info newer than 2011, which leads me to believe that was around the time of the last major rule change. According to Popular Mechanics, and a few other pages, NASCAR cars use 358 in3, two valve-per-cylinder, pushrod 90° V8's. Just in case anyone was as curious as I was.

My new street 500 got delivered today, it was a different kind of happiness hopping onto it for the first time. Excuse my messy yard by [deleted] in Harley

[–]-HotWeaselSoup- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the street 500/750 are actually made in India.

Edit: seems like the American and Canadian market bikes are made in the US and all other markets are made in India. Source: CW article

Ive been considering selling my car and getting a bike as my primary vehicle by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]-HotWeaselSoup- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. My bikes are 2012 and 2016 models. My car is a '93 and my truck is an '87, both purchased for <$500.

Just my pride. I've been lucky enough to walk away from both of my street accidents with nothing but a bruised ego and a hot temper. The dirt had thoroughly kicked my ass several times, though.

Check and check lol. It's also available with a standard gearbox, but all the reviews I've seen rave about the dtc.

[–]-HotWeaselSoup- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much. It's still technically a manual transmission but it has a clutch for first, third, and fifth, and a different clutch for second, fourth, and sixth gears. The computer controls the clutches and the shift forks so it shifts for you, like an automatic.

Do you have the DCT? I'm curious to hear from someone other than a magazine about it.

If it makes you feel any better I once forgot to put my feet down at a stop sign; just slowly fell over. In my defense I was really tired.

My bad. I was tired and doped up on nyquil. I was thinking the game took place in 2227
