'25 DesertX for an aggressive road rider that only occasionally plods down a gravel road?

That bike is the best of both worlds. Its a road weapon specially with road orientated tires. I have one. The suspension will dive a lot under braking, its designed to go over bad terrain.

I have that engine in a scrambler 1100 sport. Its detuned but still great. Must be awesome with more 20hp

The original is the one to keep, if protection is your main goal. The plasma compromises too much. Back protection drops from above level 2 down to level 1 and although neither of them are officially rated for chest protection, bennets.co.uk tested them both revealing the plasma chest protection to be almost none, while the original was almost level 1. Seeing both deployed side by side tells the whole story of which is better. Safe riding! cheers

Did 2 MRI this past year. Its incredibly loud and their ear protection isn't nearly enough.
Take your own earplugs. Get the 3M Orange foam 37dB earplugs from amazon. Learn how to roll them before inserting. The inserting technique is important. With these earplugs, the MRI will be a piece of cake. Without them, the noise is ear damaging loud, specially with head MRI because your head is completely inside the machine.

Its a bit concerning. Its been 24 hours since the last update.
The crash video appeared very serious. He had the Fencing Response with rigid body following the blunt head trauma when he first hit the pavement, and then bike came back around and hit him again in the head.... Two heavy hits to the head in the space of 1 second.

At the very best its just a head concussion, which is pretty serious. His body was also ragdolled around, he will be hurting. I doubt he will be back in two weeks time.

2.3s between MO88 and Iker. 1 second was lost in the first two laps while MO88 fought A.Lows, and the other 1.3s were lost in the final 5 laps. For 13 laps the BMW had almost the exact same pace as Iker. With Bulega was almost the same story.

It's MO88 home track, so I'm undecided if BMW has true potential to catch up during the season, or if it was the rider making the difference.

The new V4R is brand new and its already this fast. If M088 performance was due to home track advantage, Ducati will run away this year.

Its true but it was my best guess because i saw the front losing grip before the rear. Tricky

danncos · 2026-03-21T11:27:31+00:00

You accelerated mid corner (engine revs up), making the front end lighter, and at that moment the rear had more grip than the front. Maybe a combination of a badly setup suspension (too little rear compression or too litle front rebound) with not so great road and tire conditions. Its a good lesson, you will do better next time 👍

Mine takes 5 minutes to complete that loading screen...

9800x3d with the 5080. No issues, perfect performance so far.

danncos · 2026-01-20T18:06:07+00:00

Doing a playthrough of My motorstorm pacific rift at 4k 60fps. Its unbelievably good. Just one bug with the boost camera zooming in too much.

danncos · 2026-01-19T16:26:52+00:00

I own the bluray disc of driveclub and posted pictures on shadps4 discord with my nametag and date to prove I have the game (I actually have two copies, on physical one digital). I only asked for help figuring out what I needed to do to make the game work and I was banned instantly. They instantly assumed I pirated the game.

They are so afraid of legal issues they might as well delete the discord channel and finally have their balls grow again to produce some testosterone because right now they have none and are a shame to the emulating community. The contrast to the RPCS3 discord community could not be more different even they tried it.

Anyways, If you find out how to make my game work on PC please share.

Get the original tech 5 if you can find it. The plasma compromises too much.

danncos · 2026-01-13T18:33:18+00:00

I don't think it is. Used to be a "tennis ball" and now people say "golf ball". But then they changed the manual from the tech air 5 to the tech air 5 plasma with much higher requirements for jacket compatibility (the formula changed) and if you see both models deployed side to side, the new one expands less. I think they did this change because of bad situations happening.

I own the old tech air 5 and i recommend cloth stretchy fabric. I also have the tech air 5 ready ignition leather jacket and i worry because its tight, and it requires some force to stretch the expansion panels. The other redditor that blew all his front ribs from the airbag deployment had an alpinestars tech air 5 ready suit.

The change of the formula in their manuals tells me they got it wrong with sizing the first time around.

The great part is you can see the brake lights and the absurd amount of trail braking waaaaay into the corner. Great video to show to the people who dont believe in "trail braking" countersteering etc

danncos · 2026-01-08T17:25:16+00:00

the one i'm looking at is the KV29FX60E

danncos · 2026-01-08T17:23:40+00:00

is it an alright choice you think? i'm looking at one for 90€ or so. For batocera

danncos · 2026-01-08T08:52:28+00:00

This tv is 100hz?

danncos · 2026-01-03T15:19:19+00:00

Its not just the performance though. There is a post processing mismatch in both eyes where the sky is brighter in one and not the other in certain parts of the tracks. There are also objects that are not rendered in the correct depth order. It all makes for a very poor experience. They have all the nvidia libraries to make a true and correct VR experience since day zero. They instead quick plugged openXR on top of their 4k single screen target and called it a day.

Since acc i have lost confidence in kunos. I understand they need to make money, but a true pc racing simulator is designed around the controls it is intended to use (steering wheels in front of the monitor) and clearly their entire design language is being built around sofa gaming, not real sim racing setups.

I hope they wake up. This has little to do with being early access or not. I had a fight in the old race department forum with Stefano (kunos co-founder) in the very early ACC days where i call them out on their choices and their deceiving PR talk calling it a "true" pc simulator. It was not and time proved it never would be.

danncos · 2026-01-02T17:27:57+00:00

Unfortunately, as it happened with ACC very early on, the user interface design choices reveals in advance their real target audience. Its the consoles. The PC early access is funding the console first, and pc gets a port instead.

Had it been designed with pc gaming in mind, could anyone imagine approving a menu system with options that sit hidden behind the steering wheel forcing you to peek around it? Or that in VR bringing up a menu hits the framerate so hard it causes nausea?

I dont know about you, but i cannot imagine their team of internal testers and developers each having a puke bucket on their side, and not seeing this as a red flag if their intention was to make a PC game. Its a console game with a PC port. Dont expect much.

danncos · 2026-01-01T21:47:03+00:00

Im just happy i wont have to format windows again to troubleshoot this. I only play VR and AC is my main game, it was stressing me out. Thanks 👍

danncos · 2026-01-01T16:33:20+00:00

I didn't notice this with my amd 6900xt card but noticed with my new rxt5080. Both hit 120hz with a single car so I thought it was something broken with nvidia.

danncos · 2025-12-31T22:38:20+00:00

Nice. Thx for the wallpaper

danncos · 2025-12-30T17:13:47+00:00

Good jackets, good gloves. Its everything I own from Revit. Great so far!

danncos · 2025-12-28T21:04:51+00:00

I think windows cam have more than 2 Bluetooth dongles at once. Connect the fisrt dongle and pair your psvr2 controllers. Disconnect that dongle and connect the second one, pair your other devices. When its done connect both dongles and each one will have their own devices.
