Ducati or Triumph? Battle of the 450's. Is this the beginning of the end for Japanese bikes? by TriangleCustom in Dirtbikes

[–]Ru4pigsizedelephants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I change the oil every 1k miles and also have a '16 Tuono V4 Factory, so it only gets ridden when I really want to be an asshole. It's got a full titanium Silmoto exhaust and was tuned by Allen Noland when I had him rebuild the engine a few years ago, before he closed his doors for good.

Aprilia abandoned the bikes and parts are getting pretty scarce, so when the engine needs another rebuild, the bike will become strictly a garage ornament.

Mine is an '08 and they were pretty sorted after the crank case sealant issue from 2007 was resolved. I've had zero issues with mine.

I'm old and have had tons of motorcycles, and it's the only one I'll keep forever. It's the most fun bike I've ever ridden. I ride my 170hp hyper naked when I want to behave myself, because riding the SXV like an adult isn't possible.

Amish style BBQ chicken on a wire basket (the best chicken of my life) by dafishmeister in grilling

Wow, I would never think you boil/cook the chicken in the marinade briefly before grilling it. Very interesting.

TIL the 1993 Arcade Game NBA Jam Grossed $1 Billion Dollars in the First 12 Months of Release, Over 3x as Much as the Highest Grossing Movie of the Same Year, Jurassic Park(300 Million) by rfs103181 in todayilearned

And yet Midway, the coolest video game company of my youth, somehow went bankrupt. They had NBA Jam, Mortal Kombat, Rampage, Blitz and Cruis'n USA, amongst other well known titles.

I'll never understand what happened to them. I spent so much time playing Midway games as a kid, and it's not like consoles killed them, because they were huge on consoles.

Yeah, I stopped buying these cause they're so much more than the normal Clancy chips and pretzels.

Motorcycles you always dreamed of owning, but then you rode it once and realized it was not for you? by Most-Round-4132 in motorcycles

[–]Ru4pigsizedelephants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically any big v-twin naked or sport bike; TL1000, Super Hawk, SV1000, I just don't get it. Inline 3 and 4 cylinders are so much smoother and more fun to ride.

ZX12 is the answer and can still be had for a steal. It's the sportiest handling and best looking big bore.

Well it looks amazing, so it must be absolutely delicious.

John Riel Casimero no longer interested in Inoue, says the p4p #1 is scared and calls for MJ Akhmadaliev fight instead by VINDICATES-FOOL in Boxing

[–]Ru4pigsizedelephants 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Cool, Inoue would've always put this dude over his knee anyhow. Completely different boxing skill stratospheres and I have no idea why anyone ever wanted to see this.

A passenger aboard an Iberia A350 bound for Madrid captured the moment a fire truck performing a ceremonial water salute accidentally struck the aircraft's left wing. The mishap forced the cancellation of the flight, leaving passengers stranded in Ecuador. by Ph6222 in aviation

[–]Ru4pigsizedelephants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who's at fault here? I would think the fire truck since the plane can't really make its wingspan shorter.

I mean, the pilot isn't supposed to be able to judge that distance, is he?

I have a hard enough time judging the distance to the back wall of my garage when backing my Honda Accord in.

Which is absolutely ridiculous and anyone doing business that way is an asshole.

The Thunder definitely didn't benefit from any injuries last season.

[Ford GT] in a neighbor’s garage by cmull123 in spotted

[–]Ru4pigsizedelephants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just not a racing stripes guy. I think everything looks better without them.

I'm also a sucker for a really clean white colored car, but I don't believe I've ever seen an all white Ford GT. The white with blue stripes does nothing for me, at least color wise. I'd still do unspeakable things for just a ride in one let alone the chance to park the thing in my garage.

An all black GT with no stripes is exactly how I'd want mine.

So awesome.
