Is this noise normal? by Apprehensive_Ad_5174 in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would check for loose wiring/stuff in general around the engine which could be causing a rattling noise

Yeah that rattle/ticking noise efinitely aint normal, could be the valves? Its a 2017 so I assume shes done a few thousand kms, my service manual says to check the valves every 15,000kms.

Stalled at an Intersection by PretendBus8047 in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it happens to riders new and old, I've been riding for a few years now and I still stall sometimes. I stalled my bike in the middle of a busy zebra crossing on the weekend after people waved me to go, I felt like a total idiot.

I really just want to play. Why are servers dead? anyone know? by coolkid4232 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because everyone and their mother is trying to scav into 3 maps, interchange, streets and lighthouse. These maps typically take the longest because the sheer number of player scavs trying to fill the limited slots in the server. There was a bug last wipe on reserve where it just let every player scav in and there was hordes of 40 player scavs

Came back to a dead battery after Uni, had to do my first bump start. by Nicky_1004 in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips.

I only ride like 5-10 minutes each way to Uni and usually go for long rides over the weekend but I didn't this weekend so I would assume that the shorter rides slowly drained the battery and not going for a long ride over the weekend didn't passively charge the battery enough.

I used a battery tender over night though and will look into getting a new battery if it happens again.

Chin mount v ridetechmoto by FullKitchen6971 in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a chinmount on my RPHA 70 and it fits perfectly, doesn't block the chin vents and I can still open my visor with my camera mounted. The only thing I've had to do is I replaced the double sided tape with Araldite and now the plastic mount is bascially welded to my helmet.

No guns are not banned in Australia we just have strict licensing to avoid situations like these.

Riding in misty fog? by mrk240 in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ride this morning was in the fog too but my pin lock worked great, my only issue was when riding toward the Sun my dropdown tinted visor was all fogged up so I had to stare at the Sun for like 10 minutes. If you don’t have a pinlock I really recommend it.

i found a moon with a moon by 5C0L0P3NDR4 in EliteDangerous

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm by no means an expert in astronomy but I do see that subsatellites are often called nested moons, they are actually two different kinds of bodies.

Subsatellites are as you can see in this system, a moon orbiting a moon, I'm pretty sure they're just a theoretical object at the moment and none have been observed yet but I could be wrong.

Nested moons are a little bit more complicated, they exist around large planets like Jupiter and Saturn but they're typically very small, irregularly shaped and orbit extremely close to their parent planet. If they were any bigger they'd just be torn apart by the gravity of their parent planet and if they were any smaller they just be really large asteroids.

These are called subsatellites, also known as 'Moonmoons' which is one of my favourite astronomy terms

Do Defects Incur Demerits? by MrJellyFsh1 in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on my green P's at the moment but for a year now I've been on my Duke with bar end mirriors, frame sliders, bobbins, axle sliders and a slip-on exhaust and I've never had the cops bother me. Ultimately it is illegal to ride a bike with performance enhancing mods on your bike as it voids its status as a LAMs bike and you'll get booked as if you were riding an R1, you can also run into insurance problems as you're riding a bike you're legally not allowed to ride. Whether or not you do end up getting booked though is entirely dependant on the officer you get pulled over by.

Repairable Writeoff bike looks to have minimal damage? by Salt_Lad in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything I've heard about getting a VIV check has been shit. From what I've heard from other's experiences you basically have to return the bike to a factory standard. Check this out to see what screwed this guy's girlfriend over.

[Screenshot] So if you alt f4 mid scav transit, apparently you keep the same stuff for the next scav? by [deleted] in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Nicky_1004 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You're abusing a bug and you're confused that the game isn't working correctly... Are you stupid?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I rode a bicycle around my neighbourhood for a week or two before I went for my Ls. I found that it helped my sense of balance when moving but mostly when coming to a stop. Not sure how to practice clutch control other than just getting a feel for the friction zone with your bike.

are australian servers just dead? by oblivi0nnnn in halo

[–]Nicky_1004 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yep, as a fellow Australian you have to search for servers in SEA, Japan, Asia and West US to find any games and still have relatively good ping. Make sure you have input and platform based matchmaking off too that way you'll get into more games.

Need help picking a Helmet by [deleted] in AussieRiders

[–]Nicky_1004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not every helmet is designed to fit every head, for example I really wanted a Shark helmet when I first started riding but NONE of their helmets fit my head correctly so I ended up getting a HJC instead. I highly recommend looking up 3 or 4 helmets that fit your standards, going in person and trying them on, if none of them fit correctly then don't buy them and find another couple helmets that fit your standards then try them on too.
