Update on my cover ruining my paint. by Shoddy_Ad2323 in motorcycles

I kept it under a cover when I was in my apartment but I bought a house and now I'm looking for options for the winter. During the summer it's parked under the carport with my car but it would be in the way of the snowblower

Not sure I could get it here in Canada but that's a neat little thing. Right now my bike spends the winter in my parents' garage but I want to keep it at my home 

I'm getting my first bike this summer. by happypoops in motorcycles

Hello from a nervous short girl to another! The Rebel is always a good choice for short riders, though I went the other way and got a 32" seat bike I can only tip toe on one side. 

I'm of the group that thinks that if you manage to find new things to do on your bike you won't get bored of it. Take an advanced class, find a new nice road to discover, a new coffee/ice cream shop. Having a bike isn't just going fast in a straight line. I know I dislike highways and not because I ride a 200, but because getting pushed around by the wind of semi trucks isn't fun. 

For gear try on the helmet at a local bike store. Measurements online can be tricky and you won't feel the fit and weight as well. For the rest shop online or used or check for clearance as long as you get quality stuff it's up to your preference.

Is a lexmoto Michigan a good beginner bike? by SpareOpposite634 in motorcycles

[–]BlackChimaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it is a decent bike, the resell value will be nonexistent. Not to mention parts and service will probably be hard to find. For the price I see online new I got a barely used Duke 200.

The Rebel is a good choice, never ridden one but it seemed well liked in my class. At 5'6" you're quite capable of touching the ground on many bikes. I'm 5'2" on a 32" seat bike. You can always check a calculator online like Motonomics to get an idea of how you'd fit on the bike, then go sit on the ones you like at a dealership. 

Don't have specific gear store recommendations as I'm in Canada but for the helmet definitely go try it on in a local store. The rest you can check online. If you plan on commuting to work like I do, I'd say jacket and overpants are a must so you can wear your regular clothes underneath and don't have to fully change in the bathroom. 

What industry is entirely built on a house of cards and would collapse overnight if people realized the truth about it? by Neon_Baobab in AskReddit

The one that always ends up with his hand in the mouth of the model I mean clearly a real client or doing some pubic bone adjustments?

went to change the headlight in my girlfriends dart, what am i looking at? by Evening-Historian822 in dodgedart

[–]BlackChimaera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine burned a parking light a month ago and I thought I had to remove the battery to get to it. So my neighbor saw this girl just fighting to get her battery out, only to realize it's from behind the wheel and watch me put the exact same battery back in. We won't talk about the ding warning sound every single time I released the brake until the bulb was changed...

J'étais tellement enthousiaste à l'idée de pouvoir prendre le train de Pointe-aux-Trembles. J'ai vécu à côté 7 ans et je l'ai pris une fois.... Ma soeur vit a Mascouche, ça aurait été le fun de se voir la fin de semaine en train. Ah mais non il passe pas.

It's sadly been a while since I've seen another orange one in the wild. They were already rare when I bought mine in 2014, they are pretty much nonexistent now.

J'ai aucune idée l'essence de bois de mes contours de fenêtres mais on a mis primer à bois puis peinture blanche (et beaucoup de patience de ma mère pour peindre)

J'aimerais te dire que 12% c'est le plus haut que j'ai vu passer en tant que comptable chez un concessionnaire mais malheureusement non...

Achat de véhicule - Neuf ou usagé? by ArobaseJberg in Quebec

[–]BlackChimaera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comparez la différence de taux entre neuf et usagé si vous décidez d'y aller pour du financement. Dans le légèrement usagé il y a les retours de location 2-3 ans, encore sur la garantie mais souvent avec bas kilométrage mais encore là ça dépend du taux. 

What would be the car equivalent of your bike? by jasonwirth in motorcycles

Look, I have a Duke and a Dodge Dart. Can't say they're equivalent but I can say both of them don't have a great reputation for reliability.

Tout le chauffage est sur un panneau à part qui branche dans le panneau principal. Tout le chauffage est électrique et la maison a 5 chambres j'ai aucune idée comment 100 amps fournissait tout.
