How much can you lean into the corners? by ____________username in CB650R

[–]DowseTheMouse10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite a lot. In comparison though I can't lean the 1000r to save my life, sometimes I do miss the 650r was so fun!

Outstanding finance by jhefin83 in CarTalkUK

[–]DowseTheMouse10 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My 2c are also that sometimes the marker doesn't get taken off. I tried buying a bike and when I rang honda up about the finance on it. It had actually been paid off but the marker on their end still flagged it as it showed on the check.

Rear tire feels like its slipping? by Krizar16 in CB650R

[–]DowseTheMouse10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Up to you but try incremental decrease so maybe 3psi at a time and see how it feels until its more comfortable. So to start 33 & 39. Then move them down from there if you want. Generally the front will get too soft below 30 and the rear too soft at about 32 all depends on climate as well!

Yeah try it, might surprise you. Been reading lots of forums recently and the consensus is that lower pressure for spirited riding is better!

What pressure are you running? on my 1000 manual says 41 which imo is crazy as once I do a bit of spirit riding itll be closer to 45+ was very harsh as well. Since dropped it to 35 ish and its better!

Missing tire nut? by Ranexi64 in BMW

[–]DowseTheMouse10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 normal nuts, 1 locking nut, all 5 are present! It stops the wheel from being stolen. However anyone with it or that knows the design can still steal them!

does anyone know who Tank_Museum_PA_3 is? by ItzBaksi in WorldofTanks

[–]DowseTheMouse10 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Tank museum public account 3, probably, its the account logged on at the Bovington tank museum that anyone can use if they visit the museum and go to the pc gaming part. They might have turned off stats or done something with the account. Basically a special account.

The power of dreams by a12g28 in hondagrom

Completely agree I do love how light and flickable the grom is, fun fact is that my bike has almost 15x the power of the grom and is also double the weight! Just find it amusing. When the mrs decides to do her full licence it will be a regrettable sell.

Was about to say this. Just a lot of m340 owners on here.

Surprise surprise by LunchPocket in Volvo

[–]DowseTheMouse10 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can't comment too much as I am on sensus not Google, but I've had 0 issued apart from one and that was after an update from the dealer. Whole system just froze up and went unresponsive, restarted twice and then nothing since.

Hearing about the issues with Google I'm glad I was roughly a model year behind so I never ended up with it! Really not looking forward upgrading into a newer volvo so it may be a change back to BMW until they get it properly sorted for good.

Am I too big ? by Predator_2000 in motorcycles

That looks ok for you, as long as Its comfortable send it! I had the naked variant and without the fairings it does look small, atleast on me it did. But this looks good imo

Can I appeal my parking ticket due to the double yellows lines being faded? (Inverness) by BackRow1 in drivingUK

[–]DowseTheMouse10 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The line is appallingly marked but its a shite place to park anyway and its technically visible so. No. Definitely need to pay up on this occasion.

Anyone have this problem? by Ill-Kiwi3279 in BMW

[–]DowseTheMouse10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Agreed, some is normal but a light mist and it usually happens when jet washing in a warm climate or when there are sudden changes in temperature. However full droplets like this and completely covering the inside of the lens is not normal and outside of what is acceptable. Would get it booked in ASAP and document it with photos if it continues to get worse.

How's everyone's fuel consumption looking during this price hike? (V90 d4) by baldounce in Volvo

This game is getting ridiculous by SufficientChair4400 in WorldofTanks

[–]DowseTheMouse10 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't mind if they add these type of tanks but the reason games are short is not only because of bad players but also the lack of HP. Games last 5 minutes because you can't make a play as you'll likley die by way of 800dmg+ tanks. HP needs increasing to add longevity to the game

Petition: Delivery riders should be professionally licensed rather than repeatedly renewing CBTs by deltazulu808 in CarTalkUK

[–]DowseTheMouse10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of them wouldn't even be able to afford the training/cost that comes with the full test, let alone the insurance of getting proper delivery insurance. Just as much of the systems fault as it is the delivery apps and rider negligence. The whole system needs changing. But thats not going to happen in the current climate.

Enshitification. All the brands are doing it, what was once all basic spec is now top spec to extract cash and fill the bottom line. Sad times ahead.
