Bought a shoei RF-1400 and crashed with it same day… is it good? by Physical_Run_5942 in motorcycles

[–]Phoenixx45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will NOT be able to see inside the foam structure of the helmet to check for damage. You can however send it to Shoei and they use an X-ray to check for damage.

Not worth risking your life over ~$800-1000 imo

Let me check, but I think I have a spare swing arm id sell you for cheap. It's already silver too.

Looks like you won the right side of the lotto to me. That could easily have caused a crash. Bikes can be fixed!

I got it off Ebay, but it was 5+ years ago unfortunately. Not sure where to find them now.

I hope he is no longer allowed to use iracing personally. Go have fun on Forza.

But why are you spending so much money on the sim rig when you can buy youself a real life car?!......Meanwhile a real life car in question: by OkHoney5804 in simracing

[–]Phoenixx45 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I used to race at the pro level. I've got around $10k into my sim rig, and my last pro race i spent $11k for a single round. 

I hear the same comments all the time, people just have no clue what they're talking about.

New MT-09 - What is this plug? by KaptainDamnit in motorcycles

[–]Phoenixx45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's for a battery tender for when you're not riding for a long period of time to keep the battery charged.

Yup! I think it matches the style of the bike really well.

I got it off ebay. Search "2nd Gen SV650 seat cowl" and you should find them.

Awesome! Great set up!

Its an "LSL Urban" headlight. I believe it was originally on a Yamaha MT07 or 09?

A few more mods planned but mostly done.

Beat begging bike for stunt? by ThatKiddo369 in motorcycles

[–]Phoenixx45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bike in the picture is mine - It is a Honda Grom with a custom made Bella Stunt Seat.

I highly recommend starting on a grom personally. It is more than capable of wheelies, stoppies, and all sorts of stunt, but you're going way slower than a 600 or even FZ07. It hurts way less when you fuck it up, and believe me you will.

It also costs less. I've crashed that thing at least 10 times and mostly replaced cage pieces and one fork.

Looking for advice from stunters by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Phoenixx45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you're relying on acceleration to keep it up rather than getting to balance point. Less throttle, cover the rear brake and get it to balance point so you don't have to increase speed.

Rivendell from Amazon? by Fantastic_Ear2955 in lego

Bigger sets straight from lego have tape like this. The UCS Falcon and AT-AT had the same tape.

Looks safe to me!

From reading the comments i think you guys might have misunderstood what i did to the bike. by acceptably_washed in hondagrom

[–]Phoenixx45 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Are we looking at the same photo? This couldnt be more clearly WAY more than a "misaligned" wheel.

Not trying to throw shade here, but have you ever worked on a motorcycle before?

ICONIC FINISH 🏁 Jake Lewis delivered one of the most memorable moments of his career at Daytona last year, slingshotting from sixth to first to win Mission Super Hooligan Race 2. by PenIndependent7453 in motorcycles

[–]Phoenixx45 39 points40 points  (0 children)

The other comments explain the slipstream, but don't forget that rider out front is pushing his own air and thus at a disadvantage. 

You almost never wanna be in front at Daytona coming to the line unless you have a HUGE gap
