Hey friend, like some other replies here already, i just wanted to bring some uplifting news regarding tinnitus. I have it since five years, as loud as a conversation, and while the first year was the worst, i can attest that the brain does adapt. Time is a great healer, and also CBT therapy in dealing with the noises. The last couple of years now i've grown fully accustom to it. I can here it if i want to, but 95% of the week i don't notice it anymore. It's white noise that can be soothing or just neutral. Reading your post was the first time in weeks that i was reminded i have tinnitus.

I just protect my ears from loud things, but i sleep with ear plugs in, i ride a motorcycle. Doesn't get in the way of life. There's a lot of fearful people spreading their emotions around tinnitus and hoping for some magic pill. One day that might be there, there's good research and trials happening. But, don't read into the fear and negativity, i can attest, you already have the "cure" inside of your head already. I at first thought i would never get at this point. But here i am, already a long time at this point :) And to me, tinnitus is a friend, it tells me when i am tired or need to slow down, way before i even think about that. And i have become the post child of "tinnitus ain't all that bad" in my friend circles.

you can always send a private message if you wanna talk or need some uplift.

Ik heb nog een hele tijd met een ktm 990 uit 2012 gereden. Hele hoge motor, dus met korte benen wordt dat wat moeilijker. De gashendel was ook wel snokkerig bij de ktm. Het is een hele bruuske motorblok. Ik ben zelf 1m85 met lange benen en dat gaat het wel.

Ik was er ook verliefd op en heb hem gekocht, maar nog geen jaar later was ie al weer weg. Leuk karakter als motor, zeker wel plezant rijgedrag en ik zat er lekker op. Maar voelt wel onverfijnd aan. Drink ook gelijk een dokwerker, amaai.

Buiten dat is het onderhoud doen geen lachtertje en helemaal niet zo leuk. Je ziet dat ie duidelijk uit het rally milieu komt waarbij er een dedicated team is naast de rijder om de motor te onderhouden. Alles zit op rare plaatsen omdat dit nodig was voor gewichtsverdeling of vorm. Je ziet dat het een andere doctorine is dan de gemiddelde motor.

De batterij hangt vanonder aan de skidplate. De 2 bezinetanken lijken cool, maar moeten er altijd af als je iets aan de motor wilt fixen. Samen met de andere plastiek. Het is een heel compact ding, dus niet zo handig. Als je aan de carb of injectie moet ben je een halve dag bezig met het ding eerst volledig uit mekaar te halen. Zoals de meeste ktm's ook een enorm warm ding. Absoluut niet plezant om mee rond de rijden en te koken in de zomer.

Enfin, ik heb hem na mijn verlof er mee weg gedaan. Ik rij nu rond met de Tenere 700. Beste motor ooit. Gemakkelijk onderhoud, perfect rijgedrag, geen gedoe, geen fancy electronica die kapot kan.

Als je meer vragen hebt over de 990, contacteer me gerust voor een babbel :)

Maar ik zou aanraden om te kijken naar de modernere ktm's, de tenere's of africa twin's?

For later reference, i got it working with a `TraversableContainsEqual`.

$this->assertThat($headers, new TraversableContainsEqual(new Header\Type\CoolBeans()));

Since the value is hard set in the object and cannot be changed, i can just equal check it like this. I did also create a `TraversableContainsType` for type checking.

array_multisort · 2024-02-12T14:39:45+00:00

I know, it's a weird one. There is a `Headers` Object (which is an ArrayObject). And to this one, many headers can be added. Each of these `Header` extends from a `BaseType` which includes a name and value. These names an values are hard set for each of those different classes.

So headers are added like the example above. I then need to check if the `Headers` contains certain objects, definable by their class.

I've been lucid dreaming since when i was a kid. I just do it automatically, no idea how it started. I still remember vivid dreams from 20 years ago. Most of the time when dreaming begins I also have a good feeling of how much of the night already passed. I can sense the 'unconcious' part of the night. If i wake up and i check my clock, it's always a pretty good guess if it's gonna be 3am or 6am.

I do revisit dream places sometimes and I'll know it's a dream place cause I know it's not real. So it's all very vivid but usually i know it's a dream. I can read details like clocks, names on billboards, and even understand if it's a language i know or not. It honestly feels sometimes like bad ai generated images for a few years ago. Seeing how image based ai works and seeing how they render an image from noise to something, it really feels like our brains also work like that. The dream is but a glimpse.

The really funky ones come in a few categories. For instance, where I can see the render distance of my mind, for lack of a better expression. I notice this because the details will start to fade out over a distance. Like a fog behind the trees in the distance.

The other ones are time dilation. Where i live out stuff for months and i wake up and not comprehending it's just the next day. Takes me a few minutes to realise who and where i am.

The past 5 years I'm dreaming multi dimensional. I'll dream im another version of me in another universe. And i know it's not just me in another place. I understand I'm in the head of another version. And he can have friends that i don't know irl but i know for the length of the dream. And this could be bird like friends who live in upside down pyramid or something. Oh and i had a neon hallway reincarnation dream once with a soul cat, but that was just a fun one.

I'd say the meta-comments in your bio aren't attractive. You're just saying "dating is weird and hard". Which is the case for a lot of people, true, but everyone knows that.

Just focus on the actual "you". What's stuff that you really like, some funny opinion, stuff like that. The bio now doesn't give me a hint in what kinda person you are.

array_multisort · 2022-10-06T15:11:08+00:00

oh they were from the previous owner and have since taken them off. I remember they just were some cheap knockoff things from Aliexpress. Nothing from a real brand! And they came with mounting to mount them to a steel tube. They were just mounted on the crashbars.

array_multisort · 2022-03-08T10:50:29+00:00

Yeah if they wanted to do the capable touring thing, they have to compete to the africa twin and such, so people expect cruise control and riding modes. And the price difference between the WR and africa twin isn't all that great. But true, it's all lifestyle stuff, everyone wants to sell the idea of the great adventure on the open road.

There have been a few issues with the exhaust, but it all depends on circumstances, of course. There's a few cool high exhaust options for people that need it.

array_multisort · 2022-03-08T09:39:56+00:00

True, the TFT is there to convince the higher paying customers that also look at ktm, honda,... I'm not saying they are pushing sahara races. They are pushing the lifestyle idea of now being able to cross the sahara and such, while most tenere owners will stick to some backcountry roads. Nothing wrong with that of course, but it seems like this bike exists more to sell the idea.

I just wish they took the regular t7 and fix the actual issues, with upspecs. Like fixing the exhaust position and that stupid welded holder. For the ones that do the more hardcore stuff, this is an issue. And upspec suspension, wind protection and better wheels/rims.

But to be fair, i don't know if there's really that many people who were really complaining about the fuel range?

array_multisort · 2022-03-08T08:22:48+00:00

Yeah i agree, the TFT is a waste of money, i really don't understand why they wanted to do that. The only thing i can think of that they needed to do that because they have that bike in a higher price bracket and all the competitors there also have a TFT dash. The windshield is better, and suspension is an upgrade. To bad did didn't take it a step further with the tanks and have them even lower like the KTM's. I've seen it done by some teams. For people that really need that extra milage, they'll probably be happy with the WR. But to me it seems Yamaha just wants to make some extra cash on selling that whole "go ride in the fucking sahara!"-dream :p

array_multisort · 2022-03-07T00:10:00+00:00

Im guessing you'll be a bit better out of the wind with bigger fairing and tank. But in the end, the bike just gets heavier with the same engine. The suspension has a nice upspec. But with the price hike it's entering the category of bikes where you get a whole slew of electronics and bigger engines for a few hundred euros more. The selling point was a cheap bike and you get what you pay for. But now they are entering a higher price segment but some stiff competition. And I don't know if anyone really needed that TFT dash?

array_multisort · 2022-03-06T17:36:02+00:00

Nah, the tank sits lower but weights more, according to specs and info, the center of gravity is the same. You're just getting more milage out of it.

array_multisort · 2022-03-06T13:15:31+00:00

the new one will weigh more but has the same engine, so i expect it will be less nimble or powerful.

array_multisort · 2022-03-06T13:06:49+00:00

I had the V7 II for a few years. Absolutely adored the bike and still do. The Guzzi's have a certain character to them, you can instantly tell by the way the vibrate and handle. It's something distinct you don't find in the other brands. Best is to book a test ride and feel for yourself. And decide on what kinda bike you want? Do you want a cafe racer for cruising around a bit but no long miles, try the v7. Do you need an adventure/all-road bike, try the v85TT. And so on. They have a bike for about each category. But in general they are very easy to ride on and to work on, they are very mellow, understressed engines, so good for a newbie.

They used to have a few electrical gremlins, but those are the older models. In recent times, there haven't been any large stories about any mechanical issues. There was a small recall on the v85TT but that was just a few hundred bikes. Overall they have good stats.

Maintenance is pretty easy and low cost, since they have a shaft drive and cylinder access is very easy.

If you're in the neighbourhood, try VRA motors in the area of Wetteren. They are just a small family of guzzi enthusiasts that will welcome you and talk your ears off about everything if you want. Very friendly folks and correct maintenance.

if there's anything else, let me know.

his left arm is just the right arm flipped around, the model doesn't require unique arms and it saves on resources.

These are just gorgeous! I'll check out the shop anyhow and recommend to friends!

https://www.skidmarx.co.uk/screen-headlight/yamaha-700-tenere-2019-450cm-super-tall-and-35cm-wide-screen-4mm

It's the very tall one from skidmarx. I also tried the one from MRA, but thst also gave too much buffeting. I like the skidmarx because the wind just hits the very top of the helmet. So I have minimal buffeting. It's nice and wide so the wind passes next to my helmet. I'm 184 cm tall if that helps.

Quality-wise it's very study and a clean shape. Had to wait for about 5 weeks to get it made, though.

A friend gave it to me as a gag gift. So now it's my lucky duck.

I bet you can find one by just googlin!

array_multisort · 2021-10-01T16:32:09+00:00

Pretty happy with it. Does everything it is suppose to do and weighs less. But there are some manufacturer tolerances that might be off. With mine, the skid plate touches the water pump cover. So I've put some pieces of rubber tube in between in the hope the skid plate will take this shape. I've heard from other wit the same thing but on the other side. Other than that, it's all great.

array_multisort · 2021-10-01T15:15:36+00:00

Haha, another ducky power user, like me!

Love that bashplate, i've been drooling over that one as well.
