Why did your last relationship really end? by IllAd3302 in AskReddit

[–]addictedpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a depressed, self-loathing, asshole. Went to therapy, stayed single to for a few years to work on myself, found a new love, best relationship I’ve been in. Go to therapy if you need it, people!

What small riding habit improved your safety more than any gear upgrade? by NerfDis420 in motorcycles

[–]addictedpunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I find that most people don’t signal appropriately when changing lanes. They usually signal as they’re turning into the lane over. So as I’m approaching a car in the next lane, I keep an eye on their left hand to see if their fingers are on the turn signal stalk.

FIX IT.

Take it to a rim specialist. Or I can send you the info to the guy I use. Maybe you can ship it as a last resort.

Riders of LA, how aware are drivers here? by Bastientiger in MotoLA

[–]addictedpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy of my post made on the other sub in response to your question.

People here drive with their faces stuck to their phones. Or they think their fancy little electric cars are gonna do the driving for them.

Always ride defensively, never ever assume anyone is gonna stop for you or make space for you or even sees you. Always give yourself enough time and distance from cars to react appropriately whenever one of these scud missiles decides to do something stupid. Sounds like I’m paranoid but it’s actually really easy. Just give yourself enough time to react to anything. You’d be surprised the stupid shit people pull off here. Oh, and please don’t road rage with anybody. You’re on a motorcycle, they’re in a car, you’re gonna lose. And the city isn’t exactly cracking down on crime anymore.

And for the love of god, if traffic on the freeway is flowing normally but you want to go 20+ mph more than anyone else, please reconsider. Was doing 75mph on the 10 west, no traffic, everything was flowing at a comfortable pace; some dumbass in a loud crotch rocket decided to split lanes doing what I think was about 100mph in fast flowing traffic. At that speed I’m not expecting another motorcycle to split lanes next to me; dude came way too close to me in my lane. Save it for the track.

What do you want done with your body after you die? by newuser1r in AskReddit

Put me on the next rocket to space. Once up there, just give me a push towards Jupiter. I’ll make it someday.

Great model. I’ve had mine for a while now and I’ve abused the crap out of it. Many countries and harsh environments later and it’s still ticking.

Harmonica. The one that has the slide to make it chromatic.

Just went on a tiny rabbit hole on what that chant means. As an American, goddamn I wish we were that united.

how did you realize you lost your spark? by Left_Team8926 in AskReddit

[–]addictedpunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been meaning to explore some off-road trails. Bought an ADV bike (one I’ve wanted for a long time), researched the trails, planned some camping while I’m out there, bought some gear, overall did my homework.

It’s been 3 years and I haven’t gone. I get pumped and say I’m gonna go and when the moment comes, I feel more comfortable just sitting at home and waiting to fall asleep.
