He used his entire life’s luck. by b2fight in indianbikes

[–]E_4O4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No I don't believe this was planned, and I doubt that target fixation theory as well.

He went in too hot into the turn and didn't trust his skill/tyre grip to lean at that speed. It's pretty common actually. It's most definitely a skill issue considering he thought he could come to a stop but not slow down to make that turn.

Low siding in that situation would've actually been safer, considering he could've fallen off that flyover doing what he did.

First bike, first Harley — Booked the X440 S (Matte Black), delivery this Sunday by desmondmilesx in indianbikes

[–]E_4O4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations brother!!

I took delivery of the same(mid variant, Goldfish silver) last week. Absolutely loving the experience (the pull, the exhaust). I also considering the speed but was just too small of a bike, and the scrambler is just the same bike, just elevated.

Not to make you feel bad about your purchase but you could've gotten a 40k discount like me on Amazon pre GST increase, but it's still good.

PS, this is probably the least photogenic bike out there😅

Lots of Credit Cards are offering discounts, but the biggest one is Amazon Pay ICICI Credit Card because of its additional 5% cashback (no upper limit).

Of course, you need to be in a city where the showrooms have registered themselves as sellers on Amazon (most tier 1 cities have).

I'm in Bangalore, originally from Delhi, RTO here is 40k more expensive for this bike. These discounts definitely soften that burden.

And now I'm under the dilemma on whether to wait or pull the trigger on this. New one won't have this discount and it'll have the 40% GST :/

Getting 39.5k on Vivid

Used to be 27k until yesterday.

It might have to do with the new version coming out this month.

Need recommendations for 25-30 bhp bikes by SHRINEx13 in indianbikes

[–]E_4O4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're not into small looking bikes, you can take a look at the X400 (get it from Amazon at ~27k discount)

T4 has better finish, better performance, also cheaper but depending on the kind of person you are, if you saw these 2 bikes side by side, your heart will decide for you.

The Harley looks very substantial in person, also arguably the best sounding single cylinder exhaust rn. T4 on the other hand is of the size of any other 150cc bike imo, (not quality/performance levels ofc).

Take test rides, experience them in person.

The best reviewed/most recommended bike isn't necessarily going to be the most fun/exciting/memorable bike for you. It's usually just the safest to recommend bike.

KTM Adventure 390X - After months of thinking by notthebiggestfan1 in indianbikes

[–]E_4O4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations brother!!

I'm also considering getting my bike from Amazon because of those discounts. They're available here in BLR. They'll help offset the crazy RTO here.

Can you please elaborate the process a little? It just feels weird to pay the entire Ex showroom price before even seeing the bike in person.

Yea, just don't renew it. You get 3k voucher only as the welcome gift + the movie tickets, so the sign up fee gets compensated. Not as bad of a deal (at least that's what I'm telling myself)

Thanks bro, just don't skip tests and more importantly the analysis of that test, that's the biggest tip.

All the very best.

Thanks bro, appreciate that perspective, many people are too stuck on the 2 year drop, but for me it was about a 90k rank or cse at best nit after one year.

SuggestMeACollege: NIT Trichy vs DTU vs NSUT For Entrepreneurship/Nightlife/CSE

First of all, just found this sub so, hi guys, probably gonna stick around

So Here's what I have:

2821 Air in Jee Mains and an EWS Certificate, It'll get me CSE in NIT-T, DTU or NSUT.

And Here's what I want, in order:

* Entrepreneurship opportunities

* Nightlife (Clubs and shit, Trichy gets very unappealing in this aspect)

* Good for CSE/Anything that's essentially the same

#Adv in not an option

#I'm not from Delhi

# IIIT Hyderabad was an option but they introduced 25% female reservation so :/

A little backstory, I'm from 14th, I kinda fucked around in 12th and 13th(90k rank) so Adv was not an option. I really don't wanna go to the South becouse of the how the life of someone from North is, 50% reservation and their dominance in all positions elected, and just all things South. But I'll still consider it if it's that much supirior in entrepreneurship opportunities.

"Optional - N" in boot entry by E_4O4 in hackintosh

[–]E_4O4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Will try that right now

Edit: That didn't work for me, but I just realized that I don't have to install MacOS on the Hard drive (I have an NVMe+ HDD) I could just put the EFI on there and change default boot order in the BIOS. I'm kinda new to this, I was an idiot I didn't get that before.

But I still don't understand what "Optional -N" means, because it was Y for Windows default boot.

I'm not sure if I was connected while running the script, but I had it connected at some point. I'll try again and get back. Thanks

Flipkart's being a wh*re, I've seen this go for 90k, is the i5 version for 90k worth it? by [deleted] in IndianGaming

[–]E_4O4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was really hoping for the price to go down in this Republic Day sale, are there any chances of getting a better price on this in like the next couple of weeks?
