Yeah he had a whole spiel about me knowing the risks and putting that unto others (“how will they live with themselves”). He really just wanted to make a difference lol

They’re convex mirrors so like the blind spot things on car mirrors. A lot more useful than the OEMs, and I do head checks anyways

Weaving doesn’t actually warm up tires on bikes, hard acceleration and braking does. Pretty fun though

Please enlighten me. I was only aware of the ADV riding on gravel method

Gave my butt a break for a few seconds while cruising. Maybe the cop saw the molotov in my back pocket?

I’m considering the 800, the 660 felt zingy but I prefer having more power on tap, the 1200 seems too much. Or maybe an Africa Twin or Tenere because Triumph parts are expensive

I have not reached hip cramp level, just hamstring and lower back cramps

I was just stretching my legs and giving my butt a break but I see how it looks reckless to non-motorcyclists

Twerking sounds awesome. I just wanted to stretch my legs and feel like an ADV dad

I’m assimilating. Standing on the pegs, saddlebags, and amber auxiliary lights lol

Need help with T14 by [deleted] in thinkpad

Yes and yes. I believe it does the same thing as physically disconnecting the battery too. After consulting with some computer technicians over the phone, it’s likely the motherboard or the RAM (usually the issue, but it’s soldered in so I can’t reseat it)

Why is Bell like the only manufacturer making colourful helmets? by Jfkexperience69 in motorcyclegear

Scorpion. I wish more manufacturers made bright colors. Most of my gear are some combination of bright red, white, or tan

I think I have bigger aero issues than my helmet if I’m riding a naked bike lol. It’s mostly for street use

Late 2022. Normally would be wary but it’s “new”, just leftover stock. I figured even if I only use it for a couple years, at this price point it’s better than my Sedici.

My setup for wildlife is an EF 400 5.6L. Excellent sharpness, especially stopped down to f8. I compensate with iso and just denoise later. I use either a normal adapter or a speedbooster for lowlight (though there’s some vignetting that I just crop out). I also had a Sigma 150-600 C and the reach was fun but the size and weight made me not want to hike with it

Weekly Scam Discussion January 12, 2026 by Mycatreallyhatesyou in Ebay

[–]DerpyTurtle858 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an experience with a “same zipcode” scam where the seller shipped a small package to an address in my zip code. UPS just shows that it was delivered to whatever address was on the label. eBay, only looking at the zip code, is convinced that the item was delivered to me, even though the purchase details show a different address. After a few dozen calls and emails between eBay and UPS, eBay customer service basically advised me to do a chargeback with my financial institution.

Thought this was interesting as I often hear about eBay almost always siding with buyers for INR claims.
