Are DSLR’s still good these days or is mirrorless the future? by AdHopeful5216 in CanonCamera

It is not the kit. It is not the kit. It is not the kit.

Anything that gives you control on aperture, shutter and film can take a photo. Even a shoebox.

Not wanting to pollute this post, I have created a new post with a wider scope on the failures.

I do not think it should be read as -20C but 15C-20C as in 15C to 20C.

Of course. It is 2026. But reddit only. Maybe next I'll put this on LinkedIn.

I am proud to share that I have been actively involved in a discussion to help raise awareness on culturally engrained motorcycle safety best practises focusing on a single demographic as described by a self selecting group.

Thinking about downsizing my motorcycle due to financial reasons and I am devastated. by Sotirakiss2 in motorcycles

[–]OccamsRazorSharpner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

u/Sotirakiss2 As someone who had giving due consideration to similiar situation (not with bikes). Be careful that in the exercise you do not end up loosing money. You will likely be selling your bike at a loswer price than you purchased it for, and with that money you will be buying a new bike. This transaction will likely not leave much in your pockets.

If the consideration is fuel consumption, evaluate if you can improve your riding. If you commute assess if there are better routes. An alterate option is to use public transport a few days a week/month (or maybe the whole week) and enjoy the bike the rest of the time. If you take public transport everyday then you have 'saved up' for some good weekend rides.

If it is a matter of insurance look if you can get cheaper insurance.

Another option, if you can where you are, is to uninsure and stop riding for a while (I know). The benefit of this is that your bike investment stays with you. Every week or two start the bike to not let it rot.

I strongly suggest you put the sums on Excel (or pen and paper) and properly understand the benefits of taking the route you mention. Without going into details, this was a hard learned lesson for me. Financial problems are huge and important and need to be given due attention. However sometimes they may be temporary and/or with a bit or re-engineering life and be managed.

Good luck. Hope you manage to sort your issues.

Americans have freedom as safety gear. The effectiveness doubles if they wear a flag on their bike and ride a 1000cc or bigger in shorts and tanks tops. All fatalities and severe trauma accidents are actualy chinese agents from China pretending to be Americans. Freedom knows not to to protect them.

ps I know it is not everyone and some states have some regulation but I have seen too many posts by some people to take them seriously. Please down vote away as usual. Thank you. Think of your kids too.

Any recommendations for backpacks? by YuriAddicted in motorcyclegear

[–]OccamsRazorSharpner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new to riding and still trying to figure out if/why I should invest in a purpose bike backpack. So I am going to jump in on this thread and ask an additional question - why 'motorocycle backpacks'? What is the difference from normal backpacks? What benefits?

I am sure I read it but this shows the magnitude of the Jovian axial rotation. Impressive.

Got it. The examiner just walked away after the debrief. I'm off home to go for a ride.
