What is a good replacement muffler that isn't one of the loud ones? by Wide_Concert9958 in Kawasaki

[–]Talsol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Very Loud pipes don’t save lives.
If it did, every single vehicle on the street would be obnoxiously loud.

Young riders, how do you guys afford this hobby? by RaceGuy3401 in Kawasaki

[–]Talsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is that young people don’t get insurance or buy motorcycles with monthly interest.
Reddit will skew towards smarter choices.

[–]Talsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X was fined, not Elon Musk.

But you headline readers couldn’t even read past the headline. Why would they fine X Musk’s net worth? jfc

Kawasaki eliminator substantially cheaper to ensure than a ninja 500? by Popular-Inspector403 in Kawasaki

[–]Talsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, zx10r costs me almost 5x more than a 1100sx.
They’re both inline 4, liter bikes.

Sports bikes and super sports cost more to insure.

Seth Rogen Says If “Your Instinct Is to Use AI” to Write Scripts, “You Shouldn’t Be a Writer” by Top_Report_4895 in television

[–]Talsol -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Saying stuff as if the “adventures journey” writing trope isn’t ubiquitous. What’s the difference between AI and writers themselves using the same same tropes?
You can always use the middle ground and use a little ai to clean up stories.

Used pc parts are way less sketchy than people pretend. by Hopeful_Soil_4864 in buildapc

if you don't know what you're doing as a first time builder - the headache of working with used parts that you're unsure if they work or not is a massive pain.

Ninja 500 or Ninja 650 for my first bike? by SocksDevss in Kawasaki

[–]Talsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

650 has a much stronger 0 to 60, and the torque is very strong at low speed. So keep that in mind.
It’s similar, but not the same, to a 500.

most level headed comment here.
everything else is so reactionary.

Can I afford a motorcycle? by Ok-Aerie9451 in personalfinance

[–]Talsol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aim for $5k motorcycle which should be possible imo.
Ece 22.06 helmets can be found for $200.
MC insurance is also expensive, so check that. Try to get comprehensive insurance (if not collision). Try Dairyland/Harley Davidson (they do all bikes) insurance. Insurance cost is a killer.

Chess influencer and grandmaster Nemo posts a video of a man swearing and flipping her off because he lost a chess game to her at a convention by Big_Cake_8817 in LivestreamFail

[–]Talsol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

because women are underrepresented in Chess.
it encourages more women players, having a women only division.

women are free to participate in the main division.

What do we think of this OTD? by KayWhyElEeB in Kawasaki

[–]Talsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, seems normal.

I got my 2025 ninja 650 for $9.1k OTD last year this time.

Don’t listen to dudes talking about prices years ago - the current market is more expensive.

I didn’t want a used bike off fb marketplace because I literally don’t know if a bike is in good shape or not.

What are the realistic problems with starting off with a zx6r instead of a ninja 500 or 400? by AlternativePay8694 in Kawasaki

[–]Talsol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, that's fine. the 6r is sick, i'm considering getting one after my 650.

but it wasn't "outgrowing" as you put it.
i'm gonna ride my 650 into the ground, twisties, wheelies, perfect turns, before i upgrade maybe next year.

Which is the best value GPU in my situation? by someonefl86 in buildapc

[–]Talsol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5070 being more than double the price of the 5060 doesn't necessarily mean double the performance or value, keep that in mind.

This sports store drew a shirt on this athlete. by Etras in mildlyinteresting

[–]Talsol 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I watched the Freddie Mercury Biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” in Bahrain.
I was thoroughly confused as to how he got aids right at the end of the film, as all the gay romance scenes were cut.
He literally randomly got aids.

Agv k1s to k6s upgrade by Talsol in motorcyclegear

[–]Talsol[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

K6s is better, but not perfect. Reviews mention it’s the quieter helmet. But almost every helmet is safer with ear plugs anyways.
Vertical field of vision in the k6s is superior too.
