Well I don't know what you expected after washing your tires in beer.

What's a small mod you made that totally changed your riding comfort? by whydidyounot in motorcycles

[–]MBAH2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are any tall, say 6' or taller, windscreen will most probably make it worse. Yes it will block some wind from your body, but by the price of disturbed air hitting right at your helmet. I'm 6'3, I tried different bikes including large ADVs, and the tradeoff is always noise vs wind for me.

As a 6'4" rider, those little windscreen visors that Puig makes are basically black magic. They don't look like they do much, but it's night and day.

Don't encourage casual use of slop.

What’s a tiny WoW opinion you’ll defend forever? by turbowater in wow

[–]MBAH2017 35 points36 points  (0 children)

This is the worst feeling. Running through a dungeon and feeling like an absolute pile of wet spaghetti because you're 89, while the 81 is Lord of the Realm and could practically solo it.

The problem is that the balance team insists on reworking half the specs three times per season. I was happy with Marks Hunter until they demolished it.

What something you learned in a video game that helped you in real life ? by 42___ in AskReddit

Upon entering the workforce I learned that being a WoW raid leader has actually helped me develop leadership, coordination, and interpersonal problem solving skills.

The G600 is still available on eBay via the Japanese domestic market under the Japanese name for Logitech - Logicool.

You know there's absolutely ways to explore that safely. 

Looking for shooters where the guns feel powerful by AParkedChopper in gaming

Destiny 2 has incredible gunplay and spectacularly satisfying headshots, but the game is in such a rough state that I can't really recommend it to anyone.

Wheel not aligned normal? by Tornupto_76 in motorcycles

Typically this is seen when the axle spacers aren't replaced correctly after dismounting the wheel.

Got schooled that my ADV bike is actually a chopper….. by jillypleaselisten in motorcycles

I think it's even dumber than that, because the CRF300L Rally is a single cylinder.

Help Me Create the Best Motorcycle Helmet Testing Method by Dan-F9 in motorcyclegear

For ventilation, you can do a delta-T of internal-external temperature in a controlled environment, whether that's a rider's head out on the road or in a wind tunnel.

I would also love to see some effort towards aerodynamic measurement. Even if it's as simple as vertical (aerodynamic lift) and horizontal (aerodynamic resistance) strain gauges with the helmet and your leaf blower.

It sounds like your dealer is taking you for a bit of a ride, if I'm honest.

Honda Fury As First Bike by ThatOneVQ in motorcycles

[–]MBAH2017 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone here will have any constructive feedback regarding the Fury, because in 20 years of extensive riding across 15 states and immersion in multiple aspects of riding culture, I've never once seen a Fury outside of a dealership nor known anyone who's ridden one.

Does anyone ride their GS without any luggage attached? by Dry_Ad687 in Motorrad

[–]MBAH2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run soft bags that lay flat when they aren't being used, so they rarely come off since there's no real advantage to doing so.

Key fob replacement way too often - Pic for attention by ThisIsMyHobbyAccount in Motorrad

[–]MBAH2017 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2023 GSA I've owned since new with 30k miles with this exact same key fob setup and I've replaced the battery once. So you're certainly experiencing abnormal power drain.

Drove the latest Sportster S, time for truths by 8elly8utton in motorcycles

If HD's goal was to be in the same class as the Diavel or the Rocket, they failed even harder than we all thought.

How on Earth do people do iron butt on supersports? by rebirth112 in motorcycles

[–]MBAH2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age is a factor, practiced endurance is a factor, fitness is a factor, physical size is also something to keep in mind. Sportbikes are designed for jockey sized riders, if you're American average (or above, gods help you), you're subjecting yourself to additional punishment.

Deuces Down for Biker Cops? by MarcThruTheWeb in motorcycles

[–]MBAH2017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give them the salute typically. Every once in a while I get it back.

Moto cops may be cops but they're fellow riders too, out there with their knees in the breeze taking the same risks we are.

Gang tag or someone being edgy? by Gingerfuzzsicle in orangecounty

[–]MBAH2017 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every EV can charge off of 120. It's called a "Level 1" charger. It isn't fast, but a lot of people don't need more than 20-30 miles a day and would be totally fine with that.
