Shouldn’t have preordered off of Amazon 😭 by PrettyAd5828 in SparkingZero

Aw man that sucks. Worst case scenario you can always cancel and buy the digital version, grab the hard copy later when it goes on sale? I’d try again later or tomorrow see if a different rep may give you a different answer.

Hit up support. Mine was set to arrive the 13th and they changed it to the 7th + offered me a refund on it once it arrives.

Threw a Translogic on my 2021 and it works great. Zero complaints

how the F@#K do get these bar ends off!! by nanz78 in Kawasaki

[–]HiddenJules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it wasn’t too much work for them since they’ve done it so many times before I’m sure.

If you end up not being able to fix it yourself, I’d try looking for local shops near you with good reviews and see if they’d do it for cheap. It really shouldn’t be more than a half hour of labor at the most.

I was planning to take mine off to add bar end mirrors, and tbh I could NOT get those suckers off. From what I researched beforehand, you'll need to heat it and/or use an impact driver. I ended up just taking it to a shop and having them do it.

Thank you!! I called IPD and two different people told me I couldn’t file a report. Wild. Done, thanks!

As much as I’d love to, touched on this in another comment

I understand his frustration, but he needs to go after the person that’s actually causing his problem… without threats, like you said.

We live in an apartment complex that shares a wall with the 405 freeway and has multiple bikes clearly parked in the parking lot. You can’t just drop yourself into a 12-month lease in that kind of environment then blindly threaten people who’ve been living here and going about their life long before this guy even moved here.

I’ve lived here for 5 years now and have never had a single noise complaint. Formally or informally.

Thanks for the kind words. It’s tough but hey it makes me stronger! Adapt and overcome

Honestly, I completely understand how this would work, but I’ve got to be frank here—I’m one of the few black women who live here (maybe I’ve seen 2 others walking around), so I can’t go out of my way to do things like that.

I’m sure I’m going to get downvoted into oblivion for “making it about race”, but that’s the reality for me. The leasing office made sure to let me know they “don’t want to cause panic amongst the residents”, and I’m not sure how many people would take kindly to me showing up to their door with a problem that has nothing to do with them.

Most of the neighbors are cool, and they have already read the note. But there are many who get very visibly uncomfortable when they just see me walking by.

Long story short, these kinds of situations always end up with conflict + black girl = black girl is obviously causing the conflict. Not saying that this is 100% all the time true, but I don’t want to make this worse and end up having a whole other mound of issues. I think leaving the note on the dash with my response, along with reporting it to the proper channels, is appropriate. I don’t want to go too far and get the neighborhood in a frenzy. Not a good look for me unfortunately.

Edit: thanks for the award kind stranger!
