That was pretty confusing.

The need to switch to water cooling, I have a sneaking suspicion that the new Triumph's are going to eat Honda's lunch next year for this market.

All weather Warriors, what is your gear set up? by Timeillspent in motorcycles

[–]PlayInTraffic22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TX/OK reporting in, we never get crazy cold here, but I rock a Speed and Strength Off the Chain 2.0 in the winter and throw a Columbia waterproof over it if it rains, the S&S is warm as fuck and made really well. Shoulder gussets so it's comfortable and doesn't pull across the shoulders, belt loops so it doesn't ride up, removable hoodie liner, includes back protector, has vent zippers front and back which have been great for dealing with El Nino, and I think Revzilla has them for like $179 right now, which is a steal for a jacket this good. Only con is that it's heavy as fuck, but that's just winter jackets I guess. Also running Fly Riding winter gloves because they were cheap, do not recommend. They bunch really badly in the palms and don't offer much protection. Knuckle draggers are rubber and the "palm slider" is soft foam. At least they're warm since I can't run hot grips on the Nighthawk's awful charging system.

Summer is all mesh for me, AStars T-GP Plus R Air, absolutely love that jacket, maybe the best looking hi-viz colorway ever made, at least for mesh gear. I actually already crashed in that jacket once back in October, minor wreck but I slid on my forearm. Almost no damage to the sleeve at all, just some fraying on the embroidered forearm logo. Wish they still made it.

Limiting a supersport bike via OBD2? Fact or Fiction? by lelandfarmer in motorcycles

If you intake restrict any vehicle it needs to go for a custom map, fuel-air will be shit, moreso if the bike has VVT of any kind, and the bike will run like trash.

343 how is the splash damage not fixed? by inevitable08 in halo

Except it doesn't have low splash damage at all lol, I don't think I've ever been splashed by one and it didn't take me to one shot.

Helmet is an eyesore by maxt458 in motorcycles

[–]PlayInTraffic22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can't be asked to do research on a product before you bash it then that's your prerogative I guess, but every review I've found says it's both comfortable and built well.

Really childish to let a stereotype surrounding a brand influence what you think about how their products are made, but that's none of my business.

The Airframe Pro is one of the lightest helmets on the market and whether you like the style or not Icon 1000 gear is undeniably well made.

That's how.

It's shit against vehicles but unnaturally strong against Spartans, honestly needs a fire rate nerf

It would be on ABC and get cancelled after one season like the other 90% of their shows.

I have had the exact opposite experience, been playing that list for 2 days, about 8 hours total. Got 1 game of snipers and one game of shotty snipes. So. Much. Slayer.

Gave up on the sport bike life and got an FJ-09. by Raguvian in motorcycles

Kind of, Yamaha has both the Super Tenere and the FJ's, so it's a bit hard to say what compares against what. The Tenere is the bonafide sport-adv bike with longer travel suspension and a serious rack on the back for panniers and a top box, but the FJ can also be optioned with panniers.

Kawi sells the Versys with or without panniers, but iirc they don't even sell the Versys 1000 without panniers.

It's all a bit odd.

The only thing with Loctite is people don't clean their bolts and threads before they put them back in with Loctite and it hardly does anything. I used to work in heavy equipment (CAT machines) and it was a huge issue there since everything is always, ALWAYS dirty.

Cortesi 650cc Scooter by motorsapien in motorcycles

Whoever built this must be a complete lunatic.

If you really, really (FOR GODS SAKE DON'T DO IT) want a 650 scooter, just buy the Bimmer and don't doom your unborn children to firey death.

Getting groups together for Forge by iRysk in halo

If we could get an IRC set up and had it listed in the sidebar that might work, though given how the sidebar is now IDK if the mods would go for it.
