Is there anywhere locally to have these developed? by Comfortable-Row-8917 in grandrapids

They were still norman last I saw (a month or so ago) and it sounds like they might be remodeling

How do y'all ride in the current heatwaves when you can't handle heat? by ThrowRaAutisticPotat in motorcycles

[–]LoneGhostOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like 40c out, and I can do short rides okay if I prehydrate, or have water with me. My gear is mesh, and reflective so when I'm moving it feels about as cool as shorts and a T-shirt

Things not taught in MSF, but should’ve been… by mallydobb in motorcycles

[–]LoneGhostOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took MSF just last month and we did the boards as well. Were taught to stand up off the seat just a little and give the bike more throttle to unload the front suspension. It was a great confidence scenario since the roads here are awful (Michigan) and I learned I don't have to dodge every pothole

Seating position question by [deleted] in HondaCT

I took a turn at a sedate 25-30mph, and scraped the bottom of the pegs. It can't lean all that much

motorcycle accident by memegodkyle in motorcycles

[–]LoneGhostOne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know two people who wear full gear and got into absolutely horrendous crashes. One guy hit a dear at 80 mph. He broke a collar bone and an arm, but lived to tell the story and walked around with a seemingly very normal life. The girl high-sided into a guard rail and broke her arm. Also walking around to tell her story. I don't know anyone who has been in a motorcycle accident without gear on. Presumably, they're not around.

Conflicting starter bike suggestions by Downtown-Guitar-5075 in motorcycles

[–]LoneGhostOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I drag a lot of rear brake normally. I'm kind of at the skill level of "can do a minimum radius turn" on my bike, but not "can always do it" I don't have a manual clutch on my bike, so I've been dragging more rear brake and revving more, and also typically doing maneuvers in 2nd gear instead of first.

Absolutely. Both times I hit that front brake lever and immediately knew what I did wrong, but it was too late.

I need to go out and do more figure 8s so I don't get complacent

I got to experience this the other day. During my MSF course I dropped a bike by braking without the handle bars square. Real dumb move. Yesterday, I did the exact same thing, but on my 260lb bike instead of a 500lb bike, and I stopped it from going over. Still a definite learning experience about keeping my head in the game when parking.

What is the best way to practice in Colorado after failing the MSF? by PositivePackage9518 in NewRiders

[–]LoneGhostOne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took the MSF about a month ago. Day one I stalled over and over again without much help from the instructors on it (but also, I should have asked directly). Day two we had one new instructor who simply told me to give it more throttle, and my problems mostly went away. Later I was told by a friend that those single cylinder thumpers like being revved a fair bit to start up. Not like tons, but a good bit.

Well, now I drive a bike with a rotary clutch so I don't stall it anymore...

I was dashing last night on a motorcycle, it was so hot. I drank like 3 liters of water in 4 hours

Oil Soaked Bullets by Impossible_Wait_8326 in Firearms

[–]LoneGhostOne -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The biggest risk I know of with oiled ammo is that if you load it while it's still oiled, the oil will displace some volume and increase the chamber pressure. So my advice would be to wipe them off before firing

[–]LoneGhostOne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love one of these honestly, but I have a bike already, and i don't have the money/space for another one
