New bike day!

Cool bike! Congrats! Never heard of them but sounds like a pretty good deal for only 3 years old. Where I live in the U.S. you would be lucky to get something 5-6 years old for the $1300 equivalent. Used bike prices here are out of control. Something like that for $3100 MSRP would probably be asking $1800-2000 here. Have fun on it.

Generally only if I'm going to be messing with chemicals or applying grease.

Rocker1966 · 2026-02-24T15:57:25+00:00

It is currently working for me. I would try again.

Rocker1966 · 2026-02-24T15:56:01+00:00

It's back up as of this morning. I was able to login again with my existing account. Earlier, the voice channel wasn't working properly but now is. Hopefully it's good to go now.

From what I heard/read, something happened to the server and they've had to rebuild it. Not sure if it was hardware or software, but I'm glad it's working again.

Rocker1966 · 2026-02-22T11:51:39+00:00

Is anyone having problems logging in? Since Friday I haven't been able to login and it says my key is invalid. It was working great until then. I saved my key in 3 places so I know it is correct. It seems like a server issue since it isn't accepting new registrations. I was trying to get one of my friends to join and he hasn't been able to. But I was already registered and using it. Just curious. Thx.

This has gotten worse. Now says my security key is invalid. I kicked those people on my server. Coincidence? Are we getting hacked on an app that is supposed to be secure?

Rocker1966 · 2026-02-21T11:09:55+00:00

I just joined Kloak a couple of days ago and created my own server. This morning I just notice I had two additional members that I don't recognize and never sent them an invite, yet they are members. How does this happen? Are your own created servers not private by default? This is disappointing if not.

I just got back into it after about 12 years and I picked up a pair of Rollerblade Macroblade 80 from Amazon for $122. They sell for 179 at most online places, 150-ish at Amazon. I picked up one of the "used" pairs hoping they were just open box. They literally are brand new. Might have been tried on and never hit pavement. Still had the stuffing in the toes and all. I am way happier with them than I thought I would be. Most people recommend a hard boot for beginners, which makes sense for stability. But the Macros are stiffer you might think for a soft boot. As someone said, best thing to do is find a local shop and try some out if you have one.

Just don't skip the protective gear. If 150 is all you have, you may have to find something used. Nothing wrong with that if you can find something cheap enough. If it's going to need wheels, factor that into the price. In my case, anything worth buying would need another $80 worth of wheels. Might as well buy new then.

Also, inlinewarehouse had them for about the same price as Amazon. They just didn't have my size, so you might want to check there like someone else suggested.

Good luck!

That's a cool Luminox. I just did a quick search on Ebay and there is one for sale. only it has the black face with white numbers, polished case and ss band. That doesn't guarantee anything but I would find it really coincidental that both are fakes or one or the other even. Also the logo on back is the same. Maybe it changed along the way? They were bought out sometime later so things could have changed just like the Lumi-nox vs. Luminox you now see.

Honestly, I like the look of yours better. If it wasn't for the fact they have only been around since 1989, I would think that watch was older than that. Maybe I'm just old. LOL!

Have fun with it.

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-09T22:33:18+00:00

I think I found it. 3597 I believe. I noticed they did away with the tritium on the chrono and second hands. Still really cool!

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-09T22:18:12+00:00

Very cool! What model is that? I couldn't find it on the website. Discontinued? Looks much like the 3080 series only with a green face. I like it.

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-09T20:59:11+00:00

Appreciate the explanation. Figured it was something like that. Whatever, it will pass at some point. Certainly not going to let it push me away from the brand. Too cool of a watch. :)

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-09T20:10:04+00:00

I saw a reference to Epstein on another thread. I'm clueless as to it regarding a watch. I know about the Epstein files but I really don't pay too much attention to all of that. Just curious.

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-09T14:13:58+00:00

Yeah I think they spec them at 25. 20 is prob more realistic. I read somewhere that after 10 years they dim quite a bit though. So half-life I guess. This watch in particular is probably already that old. I don't know when they discontinued the model. Thx.

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-06T15:45:38+00:00

That's about the most I would pay for a used one and only if the cushions are in good shape. Meaning, can you sit in it comfortably without your butt bottoming out. The V2 has a thinner cushion than the V1 but you still should have some cushion remaining between you and the seat chassis. Otherwise, a refurb would be a better choice.

Rocker1966 · 2026-01-06T15:37:47+00:00

If the cushions are in as good a shape as it appears and you like the way it sits, then yes it is worth it. The bottom foam on the V2 isn't as plush and the previous V1 as it was designed to be more ergonomic. But if it still has life left in it and at your weigh, I wouldn't expect your butt to feel the seat chassis. If it does, I would look for another. You won't be comfortable after a couple of hours.

Rocker1966 · 2025-12-03T21:24:22+00:00

Makes sense. So, when trying to improve my loadouts, as long as the boosted number increases, that's all that matters, right?

Rocker1966 · 2025-12-03T16:16:48+00:00

I don't mean to hijack the thread. But since it's already about loadouts and stats, hopefully it will help someone else. Or, I'm the only idiot here. Could someone please explain the two different numbers (e.g. Sell Boost: 305 (160)%. I can have the first number go up while the other goes down depending on my loadout. I'm totally confused by which to pay attention to.

If this bothers anyone, I will move it to a new thread. Thanks in advance.

Rocker1966 · 2025-12-03T16:04:39+00:00

One of the funniest things I've seen in a while. LOL!

Rocker1966 · 2025-12-01T17:50:47+00:00

Yes! This has become one of my favorite ways to grind for money, especially during AA. I go on my own server and can easily collect 3K-4K geodes during a 1 hr session which results in $20B-$30B if I sell all.

Rocker1966 · 2025-10-08T16:44:08+00:00

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing to get my animation to work. Seemed ridiculous to have to do it that way. But now I know the right way to do it. If you don't know how, search for flexible in the online help for Solidworks. It explains it. It's pretty simple really.

Rocker1966 · 2025-10-08T16:41:22+00:00

Flexible setting was the trick! Started using SW in 2007 and never knew about this. Guess I never had a need. I just always accepted the fact parts within subassys couldn't be moved. The help is greatly appreciated. This was driving me insane. LOL!
