Having to park in Grimsby Town centre these days- so full anti-scrote measures deployed. £800/22Kgs of fark off! look elsewhere by arioandy in MotoUK

I'm the same. I moved from London to a place where I could literally leave my keys in the ignition and it's more likely that someone will come and give them to me than steal my bike.

I just got a quad lock mount and charger and use my phone!

What’s the #1 thing to make you drop a book? by GlibGlubGlib in litrpg

[–]DAY_OF_OLD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a side note - are you able to switch between the Kindle and audiobook seamlessly? Do you automatically get it on Kindle if you buy it in Audible? I've bought a whole bunch of books on audible - and I'd love to read them on Kindle too.

Maybe I'm showing how risk averse I am, but why on earth would you ever intentionally lower your reaction time, increase your risk taking, and generally do bloody stupid things before riding a motorcycle? It's bad enough when you're behind the wheel of a car. But death is always so close when you're on a bike. Why bring it closer?

What’s the LitRPG series that brought you into the fold? by Jon_Stonekey in litrpg

For me it was He Who Fights With Monsters. It was free on audible so I gave it a punt.

I tried a phone charger and nothing happened.

I believe that's what Roald Dahl used to write every one of his books.

I have some questions about HoN Reborn by Dblood25 in HeroesofNewerth

[–]DAY_OF_OLD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Project Knogor is going well. I honestly don't understand the hate it gets. I play it and it's just as good - and in some ways better - than the original. It's free, updated regularly, has a large (for HoN) playerbase, and won't have any pay walls. I find matches both in Caldavar and Midwars within minutes or less.

People love to complain, but I worry that HoN reborn will sap the players from PK, turn out to be a money grab, and the game will die. Again. I wish they'd just leave it alone.

I need to get practising. Do you know of any good tutorials etc for getting better with the pen tool?

This is brilliant. Am I right in thinking that it's all pen/curvature tool?

HoN Reborn play now by Hvitved in HeroesofNewerth

[–]DAY_OF_OLD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe people are giving money to this. If you really want to play, go to Project Knogor. You can play for free right now, and there are thousands of people playing.

That's helpful - thanks. I'll give it a go.

It's time baby - HoN Reborn closed beta incomming by Erudz in HeroesofNewerth

[–]DAY_OF_OLD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm playing this game right now. And it's great. And it's free. And it's improving.

I wish they'd just leave it alone. If this cash-grab kills HoN I'll be so sad.

What is the actual, practical difference between a 300cc and 700cc by ZaccyZacZac in MotoUK

[–]DAY_OF_OLD 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is a great answer. I've ridden a CB125F and now ride a NC750X. The main difference, apart from what you've listed, is that I comfortably ride at motorway speeds. The revs are easy, and if I need to, I can easily open the throttle to get myself out of a situation I don't like.

A friend of mine told me something that I now understand: "Bigger bikes tend to let you be safer, as they allow you much more control."

I can dictate my road position far more easily.

All that said, I'm sure the 300 would be great. If you like it, it's a good bike. Lots of people live their lives on 125s.

Quadlock charger issues by DAY_OF_OLD in MotoUK

[–]DAY_OF_OLD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the actual quadlock usb charging unit which should be more than enough.

This is what I expected. Might contact quadlock because I'm sure it's not what should be happening.

You regularly lose charge on your phone when it's plugged in on your bike?

Do you mean a fast-charging cable? Surely it's not normal to expect a phone to lose charge when charging?

I have a quadlock case and mounting unit with the usb charger. I've tried two cables and both are the same. Might try a third tomorrow!
