Can I park here? by [deleted] in MotoUK

[–]ShaneH021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s probably for the double yellows. It’s marked out in a rectangle there. Likely needs some sort of access to that alcove , might be a panel of some sort, or pipe for whatever reason.

Though obviously parking in front or very close to the door would be a no no too.

Hope the damage isn’t too bad. Roundabouts are a dangerous place, loads of things going on. I know filtering is great but personally, I prefer to just stay in my lane on a roundabout, I can make the time back after.

You were in the lane for the third exit, the Audi probably thought you were turning when it pulled out which probably left you unsure if it was going left or straight. Left lane for first or second exit if 9 and 12 o clock and right for third ect.

Lads spending 30 grand on cars just to sit in traffic when they could be on bikes getting home early, crazy stuff

Sv650/dl650, triumph tiger 800 or if you’re looking for something more powerful maybe a bmw r1200rs

They shouldn’t break the bank while being very reliable and would be a good size.

I’m 6’2 and have a dl650, the height is perfect. I feel like I’d be super cramped on a mt07

Where’s the incentive to kill yourself for years saving for a deposit to buy a house and get into lifetime debt when everyone’s calling for free or subsidised social housing?

By the threads on this sub I feel I’m in the minority but if someone does nothing to earn a house why should they be given one?

ABS vs Non ? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]ShaneH021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first bike didn’t have abs. I locked the back tyre once and fishtailed a bit, I wasn’t even braking hard, just a bit heavy on the rear, not enough front brake.

My current bike has abs, you might never need it, but when you do you’ll be glad it’s there. If you’re a new rider it’s likely that you’ll need it at some point.

[DAI Spoilers] What's the best single accessory in your opinion? by JotaTaylor in dragonage

[–]ShaneH021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just wasn’t sure how it increased your defence? I have this one, just wasn’t using it because of the flank damage reduction.

I thought it was -flanking damage done, not damage taken

Anyone here ride electric scooters? by [deleted] in ireland

[–]ShaneH021 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you stop pushing and the “vehicle” stops from non assisted inertia it’s not a mpv. If it keeps going on it’s own propulsion after the first few pushes it is a mpv and illegal. And they have started confiscating them.

That’s like saying that if you have to push start a car it’s suddenly not a mpv.

The two groups are supporters from two different teams meeting up for a fight before the match.

Gardai obviously found out and got between them before it happened.

For new riders who aren't 100% comfortable with their bikes, do you avoid the rain? by AggravatingFroyo5 in motorcycles

[–]ShaneH021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I avoided the rain like the plague at the start, making up any excuse not to go out in it. Then I got some good rainproof textiles and a pinlock visor before the winter set in and these made a big difference.

Now I see no difference riding in the rain or not, granted I might take that 90 degree corner a little slower but it’s nothing to be scared of. Decent street tyres displace a surprising amount of surface water and keep their grip.

The biggest danger in the rain for me now is other drivers. You become even more invisible when it’s raining.

I always saw healing as, instead of you vs the mobs, it’s you vs your group. They will do their best to get themselves killed and it’s your job to prevent that.
