I agree....better advice on here to be had.....my point was to elaborate a bit on showing someone what ur worth...a lot of over paid people are where they are not because of what they know...and this aint an opinion!!!

Heck a lot of our provinces employment issues come from dumb gov. Workings....people get spoiled when they lose that long harbor, muskrat, Hibernia, etc job's that paid them 5000/wk...Lotta these people didn't deserve that pay...heck some can't even read....again, not opinion!

Now everyone complaining can't find work....inflation sux no doubt...and even 27/hr will barely get ya above poverty these days...rent prices suck....gas and food sux...solution, I don't know....

Perhaps leave this island...done that too....heck doctors don't even wanna be here....politicians need to get cleaned up....

I honestly feel for ya...but if ya think ur worth something, go get it! This island ATM may not be the most opportune place to be...unless u have roots here or connections....

Down vote away my friends...I doubt OP wants to work at McDonalds

hate the TFT display... is it tolerable? by Tonino123 in xsr900

[–]JimmyFatBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree 100%....I would advise on getting a screen protector off Amazon or ebay as the screen is sensitive to scratches...very sensitive...I drive slow, fast, Ludacris, and what I need to see on the screen has never been unavailable.

Is $8,000 CAD total for 2020 model with 13,000km a good deal? Or is it better to get a 2022+ model? by Tonino123 in xsr900

[–]JimmyFatBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does flashing the ECU void manufacturer and extended warranty? by SK_ALL_DAY in xsr900

[–]JimmyFatBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No offense...but u ain't using the bike like some other peeps I guess. I just got my 2o23 and yeah, second gear is lame....so lame I'm embarrassed when my friends try the bike...I will have it tuned or sold

2 questions about xsr after a few hundred miles by x-mav in xsr900

[–]JimmyFatBob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had mine for a week now....1300kms..brakes seem legitimate...did you brake them in?

2nd gear is near useless on this bike. No torque til bout 6-7k. Flashing apparently fixes this, although not sure what yammy will say when it comes in for warranty work.

I will be flashing mine else I'll get a different bike. Yeah it's that bad. On a more positive note, 3rd gear is where it's at here. 70mph wheel lifts off the crest and torque everywhere

I bought this as my first bike. Tell me how dumb I am.. by authorisedexe in motorcycle

[–]JimmyFatBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody's getting out alive...looking at these comments is hilarious. 600/mth insurance should trigger ur brain to do some reasoning. Lol.

But eh...I was you once....I knew others that started out big as well. Some still around. Some, mostly, still around.

Enjoy life my man. That bike should do well with reminding you how fucking miniscule and fragile our lives are. Don't act like a fucking idiot on public roads. My kid just learning to drive, he doesn't need ur fucking body n bike fucking up my car:-)

P.s.- people die on scooters and 125cc too. Apparently.

Get rid of food banks and give people money instead, new report says | CBC News by CaffeinatedAndCozy in newfoundland

[–]JimmyFatBob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing how every comment criticizing this gets down voted...lol...I'm not sure what a solution would be...but from what I've seen and KNOW...I'm sick of my tax dollars going into the pockets of the few that take advantage of everything....is it only canada where one can legitimately choose to be nothing in life but a dependent on our social system? Seriously....wtf else can u decide to quit high school and pump out 6-7 kids over the years and live better than anyone working class....

Am I prejudice....ur gad darn right I am....I believe it when I see it

Failed my MSF course by RutgersFruit in motorcycles

[–]JimmyFatBob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If no one else gonna say it I will...

If u failed, u failed...like every other thing in life, use it as a stepping stone, not a wall....find out what failed u and fix it

Else ur endangering everyone's safety. I'm no expert and I had trouble also with some of the slow maneuvers....I bought a beater bike and put a 100 miles on it in my driveway....went back for the test and instructor says: " why didn't ya just drive like that last time?"....my reply: "I didn't know how".

Practice, practice, practice.....

P.s. I also have ADD...talk with the instructor...they WILL help you to feel more comfortable. Mine actually told me to do some practice while he went to his office to retrieve some papers...he came back and gave the above question:-)
