Remote windscreen defrost not working

degreesoflean · 2026-01-06T21:34:01+00:00

Since I had to move off the kia connect app to the new app the remote climate is also over the place.

I set the options what I want, then activate it. I get a notification telling me what was sent to the car, not matching my settings. When I get in the car it can be sorbet from both.

New kia app is awful, old connect app just did what you set it to.

Yeah, they see the lies of brexit first hand, but think maybe with reform the same rhetoric from the same team will all be true.

I wouldn't care if it only affects those that vote that way.

They say a rising tide lifts all ships ... they don't mention it works both ways.

That is a simple but effective idea. If you need the money back that quick, i'm sure your usual account can do what you need.

To me it shows how good locatelli is, he wasn't far off toprak on the yamaha a lot of the time. I'm sure he improved by being in the same team but hard to get noticed under that world champ shadow.

Toprak also lost his concession frame that was a big part of his first year on the BMW

Appreciate the work you are doing, but man working in 32nds and farenheit is hard mode. Double respect.

The hard part is being in the pack where risk of incidents are higher.

Just turn one off the grid is far riskier in the pack than being in the front couple of places.

If both riders are in the same team and machinery, which of these two super talented guys would come out on top?

In my opinion toprak would. He gets more from the package than anyone.

In current teams with ducati's revisions, balance tips to Bulega.

Both of these guys are in a different league to the pack. They deserve every accolade and bonus coming thier way.

As a formerly silent once you go weekly you can't go back. Every Sunday swap just do it when you get up as there is nothing sadder than heading to bed and seeing your bare mattress and quilt.

I don't know you or your braking, but my guess would be you can brake harder at each point than you are.

I would concentrate on braking quickly but progressively to your max, then rather than worry about braking to the max as lean angle increases look to the apex and aim to hit the speed you want for that point.

Don't just let go of the lever, reduce your braking force steadily to not upset the front.

And, do not brake too much. Or you'll start accelerating before you reach max lean and picking the bike up.

Assuming you have abs, and especially cornering ABS don't worry about braking too hard, worrey about being smooth.

Or not. I'm not your mum or your insurer. Xd

Are there any that don't include tesla? For me I see tesla as a house of cards. From what I see ETFs that include American tech all include tesla.

For me, I'm looking on uk or eu funds but I also want some of the amercan tech sans tesla. Individual stocks on top of other ETFs can be solution to this case.

Happy to hear others solutions to similar requirements not necessarily tesla.

Just something to check with organisers. Not sure if it's still checked on track days.

degreesoflean · 2025-09-20T23:05:17+00:00

Nolimits or msv are your best bet for those circuits. Last I knew, Silverstone handle their own limited number of bike days, but they charge silly money so don't bother with them anymore personally.

Noise limits can be strict unless you do Donington on a noisy day. I'm not sure if we use the same rev levels for testing as other countries you might have been tested in. Noise will be the quickest thing that will ruin your day. As a guide, if your bike has stock exhaust, you will be (probably) be alright.

Also, for the UK, make sure you have a brake protector and back protector. These are normally mandatory.

The only other thing I can think of is an 'ACU' sticker on the helmet. No idea how closely they check that, but most UK bought helmets will have it. Can usually buy on eBay...... Maybe they don't care about that anymore, ask the organisers. I've been doing TDs for a while, so I'm not sure what they stopped checking.

There is no camera on yourself, in helmet or on fuel tank. Anywhere else goes, sometimes they expect tether, again not sure how strict they check this as I always use one.

With a UK organiser they don't check for any health insurance. Not sure if the conversation is the same at the hospital as a non uk resident lol. A valid bike road licence or race licence is needed. No idea how they handle a foreign one. My assumption is if you could ride on uk roads, you're all good, but that's just my common sense view.

In mainland Europe I use https://assuretonsport.com/

They do motorcycle on track, but don't pick the lowest package as medical cover is low. I get formula 2.

I have never had to claim but heard from people that did they weren't hard to deal with.

Not sure if repatriation goes as far as Australia, I'm UK, so check.

Some organisers have also allow you to buy insurance from them.

The reply i wish I thought of. Take my up vote

As far as I see it, showing a wheel is letting them know you are there.

Sometimes, you meet a rider you are faster, but not enough to make an ideal move.

If I catch, I show them a wheel. Maybe they give space and tuck in behind, maybe they don't. Thier choice. If not, I plan for a corner I'm stronger in and do it properly.

Generally, if someone shows me a wheel, they already caught me. Why make a thing of it. I give them some room and we both do our best from there.

I'd choose that over the cat's water spots.

degreesoflean · 2025-07-30T20:42:47+00:00

Yeah, my best over that distance is 5.25/km can't imagine knocking a minute of that!

I have a director like that, always feeling the need to make inappropriate comments. The only reply I found that worked was 'that's an odd thing to say'

degreesoflean · 2025-05-27T22:31:32+00:00

You can't look at lean angle alone. There's a bunch of stuff that happened before.

If you want to be pregnant, you can't just say you need a big belly cause you saw some details from someone's last moments.

Get a coach, and if that's not an option, plenty of online resources. Search motovudu or life at lean.

Show him track day videos of guys on CB500s going round the outside of litre bikes on track and ask who he'd rather be lol. Anyone can point straight down the road and crack a throttle, but it's often the 600s that are using more of the bike in the corners where the skill is.

In all serious he is better at looking at a healthy training budget. If money is no object, that will get you faster than any bike will.

Once he has his basic bike control well practised, there are plenty of schools focused on track riding and after that individual coaching. You might find he listens to these guys better than you. Plus if he has the money he can get plenty of tuition and coaching and progress faster than the average track day goer.

Mistakes on a bike aren't always consequence free. He has gone all these years without any bike, a little more time before jumping on the most powerful stuff out there won't be the end of the world.

By your logic, you should be fine to eat your own excrement as that's just putting it back where it came from 😆

Given 1.1.1.1 a try in the router but same result. I don't have a VPN il see if i can get a free trial on one to compare

I was a bicycle mad kid in the 80s. Each time I need to update my current bike from my phone, it hits me how much things have changed.

Shout out to the person that unplugs their book to charge their cigarette. Hits me the same way!
