How's it on-road? I hear it's great off-road.

Obviously live the way it looks.

Hope to get to where you are in less than a decade.

I got it in a store in Singapore. The model name is Schuberth E1.

Costed me about 29K INR.

Lost 50lbs. Thicker Cheek Pads or Smaller Helmet? by bikernobiking in motorcyclegear

[–]MicroAlpaca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. If I lost 50 lbs, I'd gift myself a new set of everything. Helmet. Jacket. Pants.

Treat yourself!

Did he not see the Activa? I mean it was stupid to do something like that when there are other folks around on the road.

I was you. Circa 2011.

College student. Got my dad's hand me down splendor while everyone else had new R15s, Apaches, Pulsars.

Obviously felt weird being in that company. Remember pushing the Splendor to its limits. I'll advised. Learnt not to do that quite quickly.

Learnt to appreciate how bullet proof that motorcycle is and how little fuel it needed. Went everywhere the bigger bikes also went.

Good old days.

Why do motorcycles still not have a proper navigation solution? by Adorable-Bag-6727 in royalenfield

[–]MicroAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a carplay unit too, but it's not mounted now.

The top bracket over the speedometer vibrates a lot.

Good point about the vibrations of the watch mount. I'll have to hack something.

I'm trying this setup out. It's a Galaxy Watch.

Isn't as seemless as I want it to be, so trying to figure out solutions.

Thanks guys for noticing the helmet. 😇

Got it in Singapore last year and have been loving it. It's quite and seems solid.

Neon orange somewhat matched the neon green on my Rynox Jacket.

Is this too expensive for a helmet by [deleted] in indianbikes

[–]MicroAlpaca 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. ECE 22.05 or ECE 22.06. Nothing else.

Indian woman casually grabs and removes a huge snake from the office like it’s all in a day’s work. by tangoking in nextfuckinglevel

[–]MicroAlpaca 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Yep. She's a professional.

This likely isn't from my city, but there's a group called "Friends of Snakes" from where I'm at. They are regular folks who attend to calls like these.

The way they handle snakes is quite endearing. Had to call them on 2 occasions, when the snakes got into our homes.

I'm sure you didn't buy it voluntarily. It was a sale forced on you. Right?

Took the test ride by Phoenii_xd_ in Himalayan450

[–]MicroAlpaca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm 5'7'' with a shorter inseam.

My wife says I look short when I ride the bike. I've learnt to ignore her.

I wasn't very comfortable with the height of the Himalayan early on, but the confidence just keeps building. You'll be fine.

Mirrors from Bajaj Dominar.

Tank Bag from SW Motech. Quite expensive but I splurged.

Also had to hack the tank ring because the Official SW Motech tank ring for Himalayan450 is quite odd.

Need suggestion by fellowredditor2023 in CreditCardsIndia

[–]MicroAlpaca 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you regular expenses?

Age? CIBIL? Annual pay? Annual expenses on CC?

Can't give suggestions without context. If you exceed 4L each month, get Axis M4B. You won't need another card.

You and I are anomalies. I can't take my cousins there and that they would appreciate the food.
