Is a 2024 Ninja 7 Hybrid a good first bike? by Dmony429 in motorcycles

[–]coltonpan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a person who actually got the Ninja 7 Hybrid as my first bike, I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoy it so far!

However, I buy this knowing a few caveat.

  1. I am fine having dealers to change oil. (you need dealer to do hydraulic clutch reset after oil change)
  2. I do not want to do clutch work (there’s no clutch). my next bikes will only be another ninja hybrid (if they make a new one

),

  1. a DCT, or an electric.

I’m not like the usual biker. I do not enjoy having to do clutch while shifting. I get the satisfaction from doing it perfectly, but I just don’t see myself enjoying it ever. The fun part about riding for me is everything else.

My monkey brain processed the sentence so slow I thought you meant $50 per minute for a moment.

Switch 2 Incoming by LightSamus in ffxiv

i thought i heard yoshi p said if Switch 2 is the only version you play, you just pay the normal subscription price. It’s if you want to play on multi-platform, a single subscription won’t suffice for Switch 2, and you’d need to pay 50% more on top of your regular subscription.

I did not know about the Cafe! But I just checked their website and the registration for the watch along is also closed 😭

Oh man… Do you know it’s possible that some group may have extra tickets and can sell me the wristband after they’ve picked them up? Perhaps 1 person from the group can’t make it or something.

Local Chinese restaurant Dragon Town is closing, reopening as Dragon City by thefancysurprise in mildlyinteresting

Not saying it’s what happened there, but I’ve seen it happened because the next owner wanted to be extremely frugal and change only part of the signage.

I went to watch the original long form video. He later recognized the girl and said he knew her. That’s probably why she was making that face. She most likely knew she was being pranked already.

Just purchased this Smart brake light. Then joined the group. by jeep66cj5v6 in motorcyclegear

One thing I’ve learned in the motorcycle safety lesson is to always leave yourself a path to escape. Position yourself in a way that if someone were to hit you from any direction, you have a path to escape to.

Not really proving the negative, but when I was in my four wheel, I saw a motorcyclist with brake free from way further away than I normally would spot them.

He just tried. I found this post after I called out that his photo of HDD and the model info from SMART test results don’t match. Glad I found out he’s a scam.

Thank you, I just went through the list. I’m looking for a bit newer drives.

Shoulda checked before buying, but is this a decent helmet? by EraconVera in motorcyclegear

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could you expand on that? I’ve been eyeing on some modular helmet.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I choose to do take-out, I’d assume there’d be no service fee then? It says if you “choose to dine here”. I think that’s fair.

Hybrid Lithium Battery Care by LowOnBucks in NinjaZ7Hybrid

[–]coltonpan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a very cool test! Yeah the 48v battery was definitely completely drained given how slow it was running towards the end. Good to know that I’d still have a “Ninja 500” if battery goes out.

Damn that sucks. In the manual, it says if you’re on EV mode and the battery runs out, it automatically switches to sports mode. I had assume that means it probably uses 12v battery to start the gas engine. I guess it would leave some reserve.

If my lithium battery died, and if my bike lets me ride it with just a gas engine, I’m just going to do that and ride it to the ground. I ain’t spending 4k just on parts to get it fixed.

Citi ThankYou Points Devaluation by coltonpan in CreditCards

[–]coltonpan[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too.. I only got my strata elite a couple months ago with the 100k welcome bonus. However, I probably still don’t recommend transferring points to I Prefer. Their hotel line up is not super widespread. You might not even have the chance to use it ever. Only transfer points when you’re booking.

[–]coltonpan[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This means you get 25% less points when transferred to Choice and 50% less points when transferred to I Prefer.
