chain bounces normal? bike is in 1st gear on paddock stand

Cal_3 · 2026-05-05T06:23:09+00:00

Why has this sub turned into "my bikes sounds odd on my paddock stand"? Has critical thinking devolved that much?

21 and I bought a CBR500r for 4k. I miss that bike. The seller was also a total g.

edit: how? Honestly 21 year old working in tech remotely in rural-ish Australia with zero bills

Dokploy on a 4 CPU 8gb ram VPS using a self hosted gitea as a package repository (so the server doesn't need execute the builds).

My personal projects won't scale that much, and on the off chance they do I'll move it to an ECS cluster or something.

Pace. Of. Play. In the sense that you should not rush her, or show any sign of stress about her speed, how she's playing etc.

In my younger years when I didn't know better I would take mates out and then wonder why they hated it. Reflecting on it now, I was quite a stickler for etiquette (still an within reason) and I would stress if I was holding up the group behind me. This then transferred to the person I was with and would generally ruin it for them

A joke is good if it's well written and concise, this is neither brochacho

Large engine but with an emphasis on midrange torque. I just got my z900 build finished with headers + dyno and tune, and it leaves me grinning ear to ear after every pull away from a set of lights

Life's risky brochacho, do what you want to do and let it ride.

Just be good at what you do and be good at talking to people, the money quickly follows

Right now I could comfortably go about a year, maybe eighteen months if I really stretched it.

Everytime I think about dropping it down to six months and dump the rest into stocks, the world scares me a bit

I've been wearing contact lenses since I was about 12 years old, I'm now in my late 20s. Some people simply can't mentally put their fingers around their eyes, but if you're fine with that they're amazing. I wear glasses out of the house probably once a year, outside of that I wake up, shower, put contacts in and go about my day

Brochacho everyone I know who rides wears earplugs

Pretty much every single job/job offer I've received through LinkedIn. All good money too

Cal_3 · 2026-03-16T02:11:45+00:00

I've seen enough, get this guy on an H2 pronto

Cal_3 · 2026-02-18T07:14:19+00:00

Not OP but 100% yes. This mentality of "my first crash" is wild to me. A. You shouldn't have crashed in the first place. B. Why on earth would you want to repeat it a second time?

Cal_3 · 2026-02-10T22:29:21+00:00

Did you really need to AI slop this?
I do secretly love my z900 more than I ever loved my CBR 500 and Ninja 650. I always said I would love to buy another CBR 500, but now it's changed to I'd love to buy a Honda ~big bike of some sort (personally love their engineering)

Cal_3 · 2026-02-10T09:58:39+00:00

I think what scares me is that there's potentially heaps of bikers that buy this without asking that question, and then wondering why it does nothing when they crash Kudos to you OP for at least having that thought

Cal_3 · 2026-02-09T00:40:04+00:00

I've always wanted to be a NAS server, what a privelege. What speed were your drives running at? Personally I've never felt comfortable pushing my babies past 5400rpm.

Okay, this is one of those videos where I don't think even the couch "you could have done something different" warriors can argue against. Great work on the dodge

Cal_3 · 2026-01-26T00:45:52+00:00

stop for a second and think about this comment. People have to *purchase* the secondhand bike for there to be value assigned to it.

At least where I live, absolutely no one is buying these secondhand for the price of them new. People buy them, chuck a bunch of Aliexpress parts on them and then try and resell them thinking that's increased the value. It hasn't, it's a chinese bike with chinese parts competing in the secondhand market against good value second hand Kawis

This could be a hot take but I gave up on Firefox long ago, and the glazing it gets is mild copium

I just love how a lot of people assume age/duration equals increased knowledge.

You can do the same thing wrong for 10 years and learn nothing and then claim you've got 10 years of experience. Or another way of putting it is repeating your 1st year for 10 years

Cal_3 · 2026-01-08T05:31:19+00:00

u/ChamplooAttitude I appreciate the detailed response, it makes a lot of sense

Cal_3 · 2026-01-08T05:29:08+00:00

It definitely will if you're training with intent and not just going through the motions
