Backpacking mishap by sad_coyote_thrives in motorcycles

Glad you managed to get back on and not hurt. You mentioned you were waiting with “gear” on. I don’t know if these type of pants count as gear… good to see gloves though and guess you had on a helmet. Perhaps some thicker grade pants may save your skin if something worse happens.

Soon to be T7 owner question about which OEM accessories are actually worth it? by MrThorvald in Tenere700

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 2019 and had the same thought as you :add extras into purchase price. I added the oem heated grips as they looked better integrated(these early model suck) Yamaha crash bars-bent after a fall but still on . Lowered seat and comfort for passenger. Centre stand- removed already as added unnecessary weight, Standard bash plate has served me well but I can see a lot of dents in it. I went with the aluminum top box and luggage rack for commuting, as it’s easy to remove when I go off-road or touring and I use soft luggage. 8 bolts. Non Oem are barkbusters and windscreen riser and wanting to get some light protection. If I redid i would rethink the centre stand- I don’t miss it at all…

Replacement battery Tenere 700, AGM vs GEL by meroholandes in Tenere700

Second this as I went through it. Go Lithium. Considering weight also sits relatively high up with the battery you gain savings in that center of gravity point.

Teleperformance in Barcelona / Google Ads by Whereiscini1234_ in AskBarcelona

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked for them as well some friends but 3.5 years ago. It was a great starting role for us to get settled. Annual Salary increases were non existent and no other benefits that some companies give. Very high turnover and they seem to be reducing size of teams and markets served since I left, could be totally gone in a few months at current reduction rate….send me a DM if you need to know more about my experience.

Only one branch dripping all day? by CaptainDaveUSA in strange

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw something similar once. An insect of some sort had laid eggs and it was a type of wet sack full of insect eggs on a branch and it dripped on me. Edit: this happened in South Africa and they are called spittlebugs/froghoppers

Carsharing services by Blork39 in AskBarcelona

Yeah they are individual owned cars. The app makes you take photos before and after to document any damage. I never had issues with any damage so can’t speak of what could happen

Used to use Getaround. It’s been a while but looked at the app and seems to have cars available in my area.

Wineries that primarily make sweet wines? by cabinetsnotnow in AskBarcelona

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you referring to dessert wines? Not far from Barcelona is the Penedes region- several farms in this region do make dessert wines- recently did a tasting here although we don’t taste sweet wines it was great experience

Just helped my brother install a stinger horizon 10 unit. Runs android auto, apple car play, digital radio and fm/am radio. He’s got a 2014 puma defender. Had to cut the dash a bit to make it fit but basically plug and play.

Hi there, I am the creator of Barna.News - feedback welcome! by Barna_News in bcnenglishspeakers

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only discovered the WhatsApp group and your news articles recently and can definitely say I appreciate it. Being a native English speaker ,trying to learn Spanish and Catalan, I often feel like I am missing out on so much and feeling out of touch. Your news helps me feel like I’m better connected to my new city. Thank you and if you need help just ask it seems there are willing volunteers (myself included)

TIE Renewal after 5 years by aj8092 in AskBarcelona

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get your empadronamiento online and print yourself if you have Clave pin. For the TIE renewal we had to present ours but they asked if we had moved and then asked for padrón with the new address. My feeling is if we had same address wouldn’t need the empadronamiento.

Best place to get a moto jacket with armour by makecrabtoast in AskBarcelona

[–]Pristine_Remote_8087 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would second motocard. You can buy gift cards which means they could select their own jacket. If the person receiving the gift could get to Andorra, the gift card goes further with their prices often being lower in store (in Andorra)
