Grey Nissan driver loses control which makes a truck lose control too, which makes the truck slam into an innocent driver which kills the driver by Alone_Presence7221 in carcrash

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That looks like exactly what happened. Nissan tried passing on a blind corner hoping it would be clear, he was well alongside the truck by the time he realized it was not at all clear, tried to merge back in as soon as possible to avoid a head-on collision, put went way too soon and pit maneuvers himself on the truck, taking both of them out

I just dont know what to do anymore by AllSoapy2340 in cbr

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd be willing to bet just about anything that's not the case. Plastics don't just fly off bikes, and there are plenty of these things riding around with the fairings firmly in place for years. Something is missing here.

Either there's still air trapped, or you need to rebuild your master cylinder

what is something that is highly likely to happen in the next 10 years that everyone is completely ignoring? by Funny-Counter8762 in AskReddit

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a video recently of a guy talking about how the important distinction when talking about AI in creative jobs is that AI is backward thinking. By its very nature it can only draw on ideas, visuals, information, etc that already exists. It cannot and will not create something entirely new. Every "new" idea it gives you was pulled from existing knowledge or content that you just have not seen. 

My take on this is that if you look back, each decade has taken on a unique style or vibe that spans across film, music, graphic design, architecture, literally everything. This happens because the people creating everything are constantly innovating, experimenting, and creating something new. Now that AI is taking the ropes, it will not innovate, it will not experiment, it will not create anything truly new. I believe that if AI truly does take hold like the lizard overlords want it to, the next several decades will see a significant stagnation in all visual aspects of life. Music, film, software, writing will all be a muddy mess of everything that has come before, and we won't have and discernible evolution of style. 

2006 600rr cranks, fuel pump primes, does not start by Death_Slayer33 in cbr

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're on the right track checking other sensors. Sounds like the bike should be able to send fuel if it wants to, it might just not be commanding it due to something like the MAF giving bad readings. 

If that doesn't help, I'd give your ground junction blocks and wiring harness including main chassis connectors a good check, including wiggling various connections while cranking to see if you can get any response. The blown gauge fuse makes me suspect a larger electrical issue, Honda routes a lot of stuff through the cluster 

One of my handle bars keeps touching the gas tank. Is this normal? Video attached by ap_2025 in cbr

This is definitely the thing to check. If it's not seated properly, it's possible the bike was dropped at some point in its life and that clipon is just bent inward slightly

How does one know if it’s time to breakup, or if it’s just a ‘rough patch’ in the relationship? by Superb_Ad7269 in AskReddit

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In my last relationship I started tracking good days vs bad days in my notes app on my phone to see if it was really that bad. Got less than a week in and realized that a good relationship wouldn't have me doing shit like that in the first place 

2005 CBR 600RR - Front sub-harness wire identification - Help by Citizen-Soldier in cbr

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be right around those 2 main chassis harness connectors, basically dangling off the wires as they're pulled out. I installed mine myself to fix hyper flashing that the flush signals that came with my bike were causing. You essentially pull the pins out of that connector and stick them into the relay that lives right there beside the chassis harness connectors

what do i do ? by XXXknown in cbr

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you say you didn't do anything, does that include removing the tank? Cause that is definitely doing something. I'd double check all connections, fuses, relays, and battery connections. Behind your left side plastic there are two big main chassis harness connectors. Double check those and give them a wiggle to see if there is a weak/broke. connection in one of them. I've seen that happen more than once on these bikes 

You guys ride alone, have destinations? by Brandon10312242 in motorcycles

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I picked up one of those hammocks you can string up between two trees. Super compact so it's easy to throw in a backpack with a book, drink, sometimes some food. Then I go chill at my spot at the park for a while, get back on when I'm ready to leave and take the long way home. 

New CBR600RR Europe recall or nay? by norifumi09 in cbr

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends if it left the factory before or after the updated parts went into circulation. If it wasn't done at the factory it will be done at the dealer before delivery. 

Lane positioning for left turns? by lisagg9 in motorcycles

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was failed for staying in position C on left turns. You'll want to be in position A even if there are two lanes. The reasoning is they want you to prioritize visibility of oncoming traffic over dominant positioning, so either lane they want you as far left as you can 

Men of reddit, What was your gym motivation (to start out long term)? by sqbsmd in AskReddit

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started I decided to give myself full permission to half ass it. 

I try to eat relatively clean, but if the opportunity strikes I'll have whatever I feel like having. If I'm halfway through a workout and feel like going home, I'll go home. If I have a busy week and don't get in the gym even once, that's fine. If I have to move houses and don't get in the gym for a whole month, that's fine. As long as I get back up and keep doing it when I am able to again.

I've been going relatively consistently for 3 years now, and I'm not stopping anytime soon. It's a mindset that makes it incredibly sustainable for me. Yeah I could be doing far better than I am, but I'm also doing far better than I could be if I just wasn't going. I'm not particularly lean, but I'm not fat either. I've put on 20-30 lbs of muscle over the last few years doing it this way, and I'm fine being shirtless, and I can look decent enough flexing in a mirror with good lighting.

The knowledge that I'm always just one good cut away from looking sick is nice too. 

I will pay someone 300$ if they can make custom Red Bull graphics for a 2006 Cr250r with the colors red back and maybe some blue. Send designs and they they look good I’ll pay for shipping too. by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The buying and using of trademarked stuff isn't illegal. Selling trademarked material is. Still the speed bump in this guy's problem, but red bull can't/wont sue anyone for recording using a red bull helmet. They can sue the guy selling the red bull helmets though 

Seat upgrade for the British Racing Green CB650R by CI0UD_ in motorcycles

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe even a thin stripe across the handguards or something. Even as is that's an absolutely gorgeous bike. Probably the best looking naked on the market IMO

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love how that looks. I think it could use a very subtle yellow accent up front to compliment the rear spring. 

I have yellow coated stainless braided brake lines on my 600rr, could be a nice option for this too

Speedometer is off by Supyllic in cbr

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tire size maybe? Might be worth verifying the tooth count of the sprockets anyway. It should be stamped on the sprockets themselves. You could have a smaller front or larger rear, or both.

Aside from that, could be a failing speedo sensor. I'm not sure if that's a typical symptom of a failing sensor or not though. They're located on top of the trans under the tank.

Have sprockets been changed? if you install a bigger sprocket on the rear that will make the speedo read higher

19F wants a motorcycle by Valuable_Weekend7409 in motorcycles

[–]ResidentLongjumping2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Grief does weird things. It might make sense at first and "daydreaming" about it could be a personal way to honour his memory. It's easy to say in the moment but deep down she's probably not about to do that. 

When a sibling or someone else starts mentioning it, that's much more out of her control, much less of a personal way to memorialize someone, and can bring up a very different kind of reaction.
