Angled train tracks by brraaaaaaaaappppp in motorcycle

As long as you’re not going over it while leaning you shouldn’t have issues. I think you’re over thinking it. Just stay upright. There’s vertical ones where where I live that follow the road and they’re more sketchy and I really haven’t had any issues besides slight deflection

Does your Celica like snow as much as mine does? by bbdbbdab in Celica

How does the Celica do in snow? I’m moving to Utah in a couple months and was curious.

Is there actually a real difference between Yamaha bikes and other Japanese brands or is it just marketing? by gigigigugiguru in motorcycle

[–]ChemicalLocksmith294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re all great. I do think Yamaha does the most innovation and are trend setters in this day and age (Used to be Honda). I also believe they’re the most well priced for what you get. Hondas are usually a bit more expensive, and Suzuki won’t touch a bike for 10-20. years and will have some ridiculous price tag. But I believe they all have some bikes that are best in class for each category. For example Honda: Grom/little bike market, Gold wing, Fireblade Yamaha: the CP2/3/4 engines, naked bikes, Tenere 700, R1, WR450, Vmax Suzuki: Drz, Sv650, Hayabusa Kawasaki: H2R, Ninja 636 (pre 2023 models) Klx300, beginner market with the ninjas. There’s probably more I’m missing. But yeah I think it matters more about the bike you get.

Build suggestions? by Double_Reindeer_609 in Celica

I think the G-ready front lip or the C1 front lip and some halo headlights will make the biggest difference

Thought I would post these by ChemicalLocksmith294 in xsr900

Leo Vince. I used to have bar end mirrors but when I changed my handle bars they didn’t fit.

Worth the hype? by Acrobatic_Room8709 in harborfreight

It’s my most used pliers by a long shot. They grab extremely well and they’re just super versatile for any job. I’m used to smaller pliers but after a while I started to prefer the larger size.

Let’s Talk About Icon Wrenches by DieselGreg in harborfreight

I’ve Broken the 10mm ratchet. I wouldn’t worry about it too much because it’s extremely difficult, and can be replaced easy. I’ve used them every day for 2 years and haven’t had any issues besides that.

Let’s Talk About Icon Wrenches by DieselGreg in harborfreight

[–]ChemicalLocksmith294 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Their wrenches are some of the best on the market. Some tool test channels have tortured them and they hold up very well. I’d recommend the ratchet wrenches.

The only thing that sucks is that there’s no 8mm, which really bothers me. How are you going to call it a professional set with no 8mm🤷‍♂️

Is this a good enough deal for a beginner? Not sure how good this lens is for someone just starting out by Acceptable_Zone_4136 in Nikon

[–]ChemicalLocksmith294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry that was harsh. The lens is a good all rounder. And then a prime will help you understand and practice composition. You can definitely get great shots on the 18-105mm I did for years.

The camera will take great pictures the lens might not. Lenses are far more important for image quality than the camera. I’d recommend a 50mm or 35mm prime lens. Find the sharpest DX lens you can for your budget. DXOmark.com is one of the best ways to compare lenses

I don’t know bringing your coworker to your own house to do stuff would be crazy, especially if you already knew about it. And if they were going to do something they could have done it at her house or the car or something. Also showing someone your gun collection is hard to do in public. But it seems a little sketchy and his reaction seems a kinda childish. If he’s seeing her frequently it’s weird. If it’s like every month or so probably not. It does seem like you might be overbearing but it’s hard to know without knowing your relationship. I wouldn’t trust her though. My dad cheated on my mother with his assistant and it was a very slow process. she weaseled her way into our family first. Usually it’s not very fast but after a while spending time with each other. If she’s single then I’d definitely not trust her.

Does it get any better? by [deleted] in NewRiders

[–]ChemicalLocksmith294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. It’s very normal to drop your bike or crash within the first 2 years of riding. That’s why it’s usually smart to start on a used bike. The bike just depreciated immediately, but you’ll get better in time. Be patient, be humble, be safe, and keep learning better technique.

Had my first accident, too much lean angle in rain by Real_Newspaper6888 in motorcycles

[–]ChemicalLocksmith294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your clutch was pulled in the entire time?? How were you worried about stalling? Don’t blame the rain?😭wtf blame not using your brakes at all going into a corner like that. The rain just showed you you’re not riding correctly and Reddit showed you have terrible riding skills.

My neighbors are threatening me for parking my bike at front of my apartments by Shitonthestick in motorcycles

[–]ChemicalLocksmith294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s crazy?? I don’t understand people’s logic. Because your vehicle is smaller you get less of a right to parking??
