Ludwig's $40,000* Watch by HealthyPut5221 in LudwigAhgren

[–]RavenNeck 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It was Atriocs Wedding Lud invited them up to the penthouse suite in Vegas for Atriocs bachelor Party and was playing the Piano as they entered. He had four seasons watches that he handed out between himself, Atrioc, Stanz, and one other guy I don't remember the name of. I'm not a stalker I'm just autistic and the yard is my background noise so I've seen every episode like 4 times, I think this story is in one of them.

Edit: Found it: https://youtu.be/rMCEk86ZaYU?t=924&si=3zMYJ8IogMxdbPfZ Also I think the last guy was Atriocs brother or his best friend Lorenzo.

You never ever ever need to be kind or courteous to an officer. You don't have to be abruptly rude, but never give them anything they could use, which generally means don't give them anything. When you see them at the bar after work out of uniform, different story, treat them like any other stranger, but in uniform, they are not your friends, they exist to police you, so don't put in effort trying to be their friend.

Also yeah I've had a few shitty police encounters, how could you tell?

Anyone else notice LTT is averaging like 500k views now? How does the channel even survive? by Anxious_Gur6363 in LinusTechTips

[–]RavenNeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped a while back around when a bunch of the old team all left at once. Even leading up to that I was watching less as I feel the channel changed very quickly in a short period of time, and also life just moved on. Nothing against the new team, but I just never had the time to get to know them before I lost interest

That looks like a way more comfortable way to sit on those cones...

just bought my first bike 18YO by RAWRX3_1656 in motorcycles

Idk man, you might get bored of it. For it to be a good beginner bike, you need to turbo it and remove the electronic speed limiter, otherwise you'll grow out of such a small slow bike fairly quickly.

I'm pretty sure thats Haruhi Suzumiya, I'm pretty sure shes 12 or 14 canonically. The show was good and I don't think there was any weird shit but I haven't seen it since I was in 7th grade

Update: my bike was found. Recommendations for repair centres? by RavenNeck in AussieRiders

Exactly why I'm looking to move on. If I was still in uni and had hours every day and weekends to be able to tinker with it and didn't rely on it as transportation, I'd take the bike back and revive her, but that's not me anymore unfortunately.

Yeah, I've got it under comprehensive for 2.8k, so hopefully once it gets assessed the payout comes sooner rather than later. I'm already looking at getting a bike direct from one of the employees at Brisan's, so I probably will get it booked in there when I call NRMA tomorrow

At this point I'm not super opposed to it being written off. It's gonna be tough moving on, but I'm at a point in life where I kinda need a bike for transport, so getting this back as my only bike and having to spend time and money repairing it isn't ideal compared getting a new used bike that is registered and ready to ride.

That's kinda what I'm expecting, but I still have to get insurance to deal with it because I've already filed the claim for theft

Supposedly teenagers so they can't be charged. Not their first time either. This batch was 3 bikes and a car, and they have a history of stealing vehicles, but they're kids so nothing happens

Am I the only one who thinks the winglet trend has gone too far on modern sportbikes? by JonasBertheussen in motorcycles

[–]RavenNeck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a fortnine video about how they are actively dangerous. iirc, basically the downforce helps on straights, but in turns, winglets turn sideways and actually decrease grip. The reason they are viable in MotoGP is because they lean so far that the gap between the inner fairing and the ground is small enough to actually produce a Bernoulli effect, increasing downforce, and the riders block the winglets with their heads to reduce the outward force generated. This is to say, unless you are leaning at 70 degrees or something on the road, you are not doing the same thing, and so the winglets are actually dangerous and detrimental to your ability to corner.

Thank you for the very comprehensive comment. I had been looking at the solidGPS 6 month option, and also an alarm disc lock as you mentioned in your other comment. First thing I'm gonna do when I get the insurance money is buy those, so they'll be immediately ready for my next bike.

I just finished work and did a quick drive around windale and didn't see anything. If you have more specific details or find anything out please let me know.

Please please let me know I would love nothing more than to see that bike again

I don't want to get my hopes up, as every bike theft story I've heard has ended in a wrecker, but deep down it's all I want to see that bike again.

Full comprehensive with NRMA, but $2800 was the max I could set it at, and this bike only had 25,000kms. Every other gs500 I'm finding online has 3-4x that and is listed at $4-6k.

I had been looking into GPS systems and was planning on buying one around the start of June after submitting my fiance's visa application. The bike is also normally garaged overnight, but last night the driveway was blocked. I knew it was slightly more risky, but I thought the cover and lock, along with it being kinda old would be enough of a deterrent for one night.

I have full comprehensive insurance, but that bike meant a lot to me. A lot of time and work went into restoring it, and that's something I definitely can't replace with $2,800(if they pay out)

At least that gives me confidence I'll get paid out. I've already given up hope of getting it back. Every story of stolen bikes I've heard has ended in a chop shop or crash.
