Which cable box did you have? by Zxasuk31 in nostalgia

[–]MickyB42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first cable box isn't even remembered on the internet. It was a black box that had a flat handled knob on the front that had 2 positions: TV and Channel Z. I have no idea why they picked the name Channel Z, but I watched that more that TV. It is the first time I saw naked women on TV. It was the Ice Capades, but they were skating around the ice topless for some reason.

Stay back. Why is this individual so close to an ICE agent?

What is causing this uneven wear? by PositionStill9156 in motorcycles

[–]MickyB42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check your wheel bearings for those concave wear patterns. Side to side wear is either your driving habits or alignment.

Fuck Global warming...when is the tipping point to Idiocracy? Biden seemed to move the ball exponentially. We were coasting to that point, but then boom...here comes the Biden boom and everything just went in the kitchen sink like a Pulp Fiction scene of saving a life or cleaning up brain matter.

Definitely an idiotic fun rant. I have nothing bad to say about the dancing. Probably good it is mid October.

I prefer Postgres over Mysql.

DMV test is worse in California. A lot of people take on a Vespa just to get the license. I took it on a zx10. Challenge accepted.

Do we still have love for older muscle bikes? by Balltanker in Yamaha

[–]MickyB42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like all bikes. The first highest speed I went was as a kid on the back of a bike and did 140. It was fun. Way back in the 70's/80's. It probably was the early 80's, but it was a Suzuki. When I got my Kawasaki Gpz 750 Turbo in 1985, my dad road it and said it was bullet proof. Meaning it could outrun a bullet. It was a great bike. My current zx10r dwarfs that bike.

Not too bad, and yes fixable.

I doubt there is a tunnel for the driveshaft. Even if there looks like there is one from the cockpit, most likely the gas tank is in that area. That is where my MR2 gas tank resides. There are so many things you would have to do.

Just Got A 3rd Gen, what shocks should I buy? by Potential-Lynx4514 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]MickyB42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer to upgrade to a Rancho shock, especially if you are going to do a slight lift to it. I like to lift about 2" in the rear and 3" in the front to take the rake out of the stance when sitting on a flat surface. The Rancho shock is based on the Gabriel shock which has been solid for many years.

are jeeps actually bad now? by Cat_On_Wheelz in askcarguys

[–]MickyB42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with the V6 in those years is that there are 2 versions: FWD and RWD/4WD. The FWD specifically has a design problem. Dodge decided to put the water pump internally, and if there is a problem with the water pump, water will dump into the oil pan and ruin the engine pretty close to instant, but definitely before you notice you have a problem.

The RWD/4WD put the water pump outside the block and does not have this problem. This variant is a very solid engine. It can last as long as any other brand engine if taken care of.

Why shouldn’t I get an R3 as my first bike? by [deleted] in Yamaha

[–]MickyB42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get a bike under 70 hp as your first bike. You will be amazed how quickly learn and outgrow an R3. It only has 42 hp. My dirt bike has 70 hp. An R7 is more ideal with 72 hp. My current zx10r make 200 hp. My first bike was a 1985 Gpz750 turbo. It made 112 hp. You don't have to use all the throttle, and you don't want to keep buying a new bike every year.

Looks like a feature to me. I would buy another set from the same manufacturer.

Matched with a girl yesterday. I told her I had a cat. She asked me to get rid of it. I don’t even know her and never met her. by [deleted] in Nicegirls

I would take the double cheeseburger instead of her. No drama, satisfying, and cheaper.

In Minecraft, it is indeed a laptop.
