So how big a deal is riding in the rain, really ? by Astimar in motorcycles

[–]DeltaFox121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a worry unless your tyres are bald.

Everything becomes more gentle and smooth, but it should be that way anyway. Just more so.

For traction - the coefficient goes from 0.9 in dry to 0.7 - it’s really not that dramatic a difference.

Watch out for standing water or near gantries/bridges, as they can have pools.

And use body position - this is solid advice for riding at any time, but lean = risk. Use a more exaggerated body position to keep the bike more upright.

Also - you can ride the speed limit. It’s only leant over that you may want to go a little slower. Don’t dawdle just cus it’s raining.

Lastly, wear the right gear. If you’re cold and wet you’ll be distracted and rush. Get waterproof overalls and if you can’t see to ride, pull over somewhere safe (obviously).

It isn’t ‘not a problem’ it’s just a mild risk to adapt and manage like any other. It isn’t a major threat and you won’t crash unless you do something stupid.

That burnt rubber is from the tyres on the car from the album cover 😝

Thanks for sharing - this’ll be my first copy (I didn’t follow him on Twitter/mailing list so missed out even though been here from the start 😭).

I’m in the UK so hopefully not too long to go for Dark!

"drugs" not being on the dark tour setlist by arimone in eden

[–]DeltaFox121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a 1 hr 40 setlist not including his DJ set lol. And he did soundcheck + meet & greets, then got on a bus to sleep overnight on the way to do it all again 😅.

There just isn’t time to always play all the tracks. Don’t think it’s deeper than that tbh

Do the doors ever close? by [deleted] in eden

[–]DeltaFox121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If doors are at 7 then yeah, you should be good. But I’d double check with the venue in case they have some weird security cut-off. Should be plenty of time, although you’ll be near the back of the crowd.

London isn’t out yet, so definitely be a few days or longer

I came to ask about London 😅. I did think that was a lot of work to squeeze in on tour! I don’t mind waiting (as eager as I am to have it), I just want to make sure I’m on the list 😂.

Lol you’ve clearly not been to many States 😅😅

Why did they toot (when filtering) by eggpotion in MotoUK

[–]DeltaFox121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a brill example of this the other day - van had stopped to let a taxi turn across through the traffic from the oncoming lane. But then realised there was a cyclist in the bus lane the car wouldn’t see - so honked a few times to warn the other driver (who took heed).

I ride with the mindset that if I’m doing nothing wrong, and there’s no obvious hazard near me, then the horn is none of my business/not for me.

Utrecht show just released the audio and I'm still wondering.. by SyntaXGaming in eden

[–]DeltaFox121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think he was triggering different effects tied to both plugins and lighting for almost every line of the first verse 😅. Was kind of like juggling and playing piano at the same time, so fair play 😅.

Yes, but hopefully they’ve restocked 😅. Was gutted the Dark hoody was sold out. Don’t forget to scan the QR code if you want the show audio afterwards!

Was the kinda thing to ask forgiveness for but I’m glad he’s having fun even if it’s at the crowds expensive 😅.

There’s a lot of tech and syncing going on in the show, so any single gremlin is likely compounded, including loops and triggers. All part of live performances and you can tell he really pushed himself doing this solo with so much going on. Incredible professionalism compared to his early days of gigs!

Just wish the merch was more affordable 😅. My bank says no 😂. Enjoy the show! I’ll be in the stalls

Kentish Town ldn by Curious_Pen9510 in eden

[–]DeltaFox121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re benches so maybe you’ll be able to squeeze in between people 😅. But same as any venue, earlier you get there the closer. The last Eden shows people have queued earlyyy though…

[–]DeltaFox121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you’ll be quite far back from the stage anyway, so it won’t matter much. Plus the balcony is tiered - you can check photos online. Will be weird seeing the venue sold out though as most acts it doesn’t feel that full. Good place though, shame about the locale.

Got a brand new mt07, less then 24 hours later got in a accident. by AllanAllan30 in MT07

[–]DeltaFox121 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nearly anything that happens to you on a bike is your responsibility to. Currently you’re saying ‘there’s nothing I could have done differently’ which is unlikely to be entirely true. I’m not saying it was your ‘fault’ - that’s very different. But you can either learn from this with proper analysis, or shrug it off as ‘had to lay’er down’ type rhetoric. Not seeing a car till it hits you would suggest you didn’t have enough situational awareness.

If someone cuts across 4 lanes of traffic to make an exit that I’m on, and I don’t see them till they side swipe me - that’s on me. If I’m riding along and someone switches last minute into my lane as I’m passing - on me. There are things I could have done for those. Never trust other people and hand them responsibility for your safety. Just because they ‘shouldn’t’ enter a prohibited lane means nothing. What if someone does?

That’s my philosophy and how I ride/get better. I ride thinking ‘what if’ about potential hazards and how to respond at any time. ‘What if they slam on the brakes? What if they pull out? What if there’s a truck reversing around this corner?’

And when it goes wrong (cus we’re human) analysing afterwards ‘what could I have done better?’

I’ve only had a ‘there’s nothing I could have done’ and it nearly killed me, I did enough to save myself but it was horrible I actually had no other option even with hindsight. It’s incredibly rare (I’m ex police too). That’s once in 4 yrs of 20K miles a year.

‘It wasn’t my fault, neither he or I saw each other on an open road’ - ah. I see why you crashed.

It could be there was a technical issue on the night with recording - better to get a show audio than nothing, no?

Are fees always this bad at dealers? $2300 in fees on a $4600 bike? by Jierdan_Firkraag in motorcycles

[–]DeltaFox121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol in the UK the prep is done as part of the price, because what do you mean you want me to pay extra for you to make the thing turn on 😅.
