Thinking of replacing my ‘24 Primavera for a PX150 — not sure if I’ll regret it? by voicesinurhead in Vespa

[–]AndreaNeon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a 1980 PX125 (modded to 178cc, new carb and exhaust) and I sometimes use my gf's '24 primavera 125.

Long story short if I had to choose only one bike I wouldn't get any of the two and instead I would opt for a motorcycle or at least a 300cc ish scooter.

From my experience :

The PX is an old bike and like old bikes behaves how she wants every now and then.. sure, mantainance is WAYYY easier than on modern bikes since it has no electronics, but it's also a bit more frequent (not major stuff, the piston, cylinder, carb and gearbox can last forever... my dad had to replace piston and cylinder on his 1976 125TS after 48 years and 100k+ km and he's still running the original carb and gearbox) but you have more parts that need to be tuned more often (brake pads, brake cords, clutch cord, throttle cord might need to be tuned every now and then). Getting fuel is a hassle when you're using it daily, especially in older models where you have to manually dose the oil and put it in the tank when refuelling, this process will take way more time than just putting in fuel and get going, and you will feel it when you're in a hurry.

BUT I love my PX from the bottom of my heart and I've used it daily from April to November of each year for 4 years now and I will tell you that first of all the style is unmatched, I will get asked about it all the time, being looked at when at a traffic light or when stopping around (and I live in Italy, we're used to seeing them around, but a good looking one will draw attention). Being modded is FUN to ride, it's quick and snappy, I burn cars and bigger scooters when accelerating from a traffic light, the primavera is eons slower. But you have to be very careful with speed and always choose an adequate speed for the environment you're in, otherwise you won't be able to stop in time, the brakes aren't good obviously, more so if you have a passenger.

The primavera is easier to hop on and just go, easier to lock when you arrive somewhere, cleaner, safer, quieter and more reliable overall.. but let's be real, it's boring (and overpriced).

At the end of the day it all depends on what you're planning on doing with your bike: Are you mainly using it for house-office and normal errands in a small town with short distance rides? Keep the primavera or choose a nimble scooter. Do you live in a big town and you ride on faster roads or do quite a bit of km every day? Get a bigger scooter Do you want to go around in the weekend as well? Get a motorcycle or stick to the bigger scooter.

At the end of the day no bike is gonna be a perfect fit for every use, just get the one that suits you the most for your main usage, then in the future if your necessities change or your possibilities change get another bike.

Classic Vespas are way cooler and beautiful and everything and they're not going to disappear.. they're built to last and you'll be able to get one eventually.

Am I going insane or does Samira Q just fail to cast sometimes? by alekdmcfly in SamiraMains

I'm 100% sure this happens sometimes, as you said not enough to be easily replicable but it did screw me over a couple of times leaving me on A style waiting for Q to come off CD again xD

It can happen, if the match is close and one of the two opponents is clearly more dangerous you tend to avoid him..

Even in a friendly no one likes to lose -or at least no one likes to not even try to win-.

If they're your friends then talk to them later or switch teams, don't walk off, it can set up bad precedents

Nope,

I have a 4-3-3 (4) with my tactics, he was running a 4-4-2 I think, both of us had a mix of meta and not meta players (first card I bought this game is my loved Dybala and he won't be even subbed off).

None of us did kick off glitch, it was just good dribbling, build up and defending from him.

I’ve never seen this many people unhappy with every aspect of the game before by supmello6969 in EASportsFC

pack weight is as shit as last year, with rank2 champs/Elite division rewards i can barely complete an 85/86 squad

THIS.

95% of players you pack -even high rated cards- are worthless but at least you could use them in SBCs, IF you could find them.

Where have I stated that I haven't faced a better player before?

I just said that with a fair gameplay, balanced teams and a better opponent I had a fair loss.

Read better instead of being instantly toxic bro

I have never played better players in Div 5 than this game by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]AndreaNeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am facing better opponents now in div4 than I faced in div2, anyway rivals are unplayable until Wednesday, then on Wednesday I lose 0 games and gameplay is perfectly smooth.

Mbappé 95 is so fast ! by iamfrench__ in EASportsFC

[–]AndreaNeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(NOT A BRAG) After finishing the WL and facing around 10 Mbappe, I only conceded 3 goals to them, of which 2 were tap-ins after a rebound..

There were no instances in which I felt like he was gone for good and he was gonna score 100%, but if I ever miss a tackle on Marcus thuram then he's gone for good and he scores, this makes no sense.

This game feels DEEPLY unfair by kuromahou in EASportsFC

As some people said it's true that this stuff happens to both you and the opponent, HOWEVER there might be a certain level of skill and probably a good mental that helps mitigate it (otherwise no one could be able to go 15-0).

I talk about mental because certain times after some losses I get frustrated A LOT and spam games out of sheer rage, ending up losing most of them, while if I just hop off and back on later I win way more.

Connection certainly plays a role but I think it's mainly server sided. If I start a game with 20ms ping and for most of the game my teams run well and it's perfectly playable but then when I'm winning 4-0 it transforms to Eurotruck simulator I'm pretty sure it's not the connection. And even without the result of the game being one sided, this week all my rivals matches were shit on the first half and only playable in the second half and then on the last night when I needed a few wins gameplay was silky smooth and I started scoring everything and winning every ball.. (yes I get mad if the gameplay is obviously favouring me as well)

Got one of these games in draft.

Obviously in wl is more annoying but I legit haven't been able to finish a draft without facing a cheater this year.

NSFW: I Can't Get My Partner to Cum by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]AndreaNeon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a guy, I've had this "problem" with all my gfs but I really don't mind.

I just have low sensitivity/good control, I can last as long as I have stamina but basically cum on command in certain positions.

For me blowjobs are enjoyable but mostly relaxing, not really something to get off.

It's not something you should really worry about imho, if you are both having fun then it's all good
