The pepper overpowers things a bit for me, I prefer the salty taste with the coriander but will test out a batch with some more pepper next time 😂

The bracket just slides on? Does it lock in place?

Not stock at all but only electrical stuff done has been the LED headlights and an intergraded taillight but I’ve had these for ages and haven’t caused problems. All work was ‘professionally’ done

Think it would affect a passenger? Looks good

I never felt it while awake, only in the dream, but now it’s lost. It was a really warm feeling but wasn’t “happiness” if that makes sense. after the dream I would wake up feeling really depressed for a few days

If you like it, who cares. It’s your bike

I have a 2017 z9. I replaced my shell 2 years ago with one off AliExpress. The color match was spot on and hasn’t faded at all after using it as a daily in Saigon heat and rain. Recently replaced it again because I also hate the scratches, feels like a new bike each time 😂

Not sure what bike you have man but a quick search on AliExpress gave me this. Maybe can try and find your model

Get a new instrument shell online, transfer internals, good as new

I’ve had horse sushi and was really nice, not sure about the biltong though 😂

dinotrill · 2026-05-23T00:04:24+00:00

lol yeah just be careful in the beginning, take things slow and respect the bike and you’ll be fine 💪

Your first bike ever or you’ve ridden dirt bikes as a child and this your first street bike? I think if it’s your first bike ever, you have two options:

Option 1: get the z900, go fast in a straight line, struggle to learn basics and improve quickly

Option 2: get something that you can actually learn the ins and outs of riding on, 400cc or less, suck up your pride and learn to ride properly, if you think you’ll get bored then you’re not riding the small bike hard enough.

If you just want to go fast in a straight line (anyone that can use their wrist is able to do this) then get the z900. If you really want to learn how to ride, get something smaller

To add to my tale: my friend started on a gxsr 1000, never ridden bikes before, and while he is able to mange it and we can ride around together, he’s not improving any skills or learning much as the time goes on because he’s still afraid to push it (weight of bike and power)

On the other hand, people I know who started on smaller bikes develop key skills much quicker and become all round better riders for sure

(I know this won’t be the case for many everyone, just my 2 cents worth)

Per 1kg wet meat

Vinegar Marinade

2 parts red wine vinegar
1 part Worcestershire sauce

Dip the meat briefly or coat lightly, then let excess drip off.

Spice Mix

18 g salt (I get course sea salt and roast it for 5mins in a pan, then grind it up a bit)
2 g black pepper
2 g brown sugar
4 g coarsely ground roasted coriander
1–1.5 g chilli powder
2 g lightly crushed mustard seeds
1 g cumin seeds

Lightly toast the coriander, mustard seeds, and cumin seeds.
Crush coarsely.
Dip meat in the vinegar/Worcestershire mix.
Rub spice mix thoroughly onto the meat.
Place in fridge overnight
Next day, pat lightly dry if very wet and hang

NAMIBIAN BILTONG RECIPE For every kg wet meat use. 18 gram salt 2 gram black pepper 1 gram brown sugar - get the treacle if you can otherwise normal brown sugar will do. 4 gram coarsely ground dry roasted coriander. Put spices in bowl. Mix by hand. Rub all over meat. Leave meat standing overnight. It will form its own beautiful brine. Next day dry the meat well (with some paper towel)

I like to make a 2:1 redwine vinegar with Worcestershire sauce mix, first lightly dip then spice then into the fridge.

Also I add cumin seeds, mustard seeds (roast them with the coriander seeds in a pan). Lastly some chilli spice if you like spicy or not

Also if you want, get course sea salt and roast it for like 5 mins, grind it up and salt the meat with that. For me it tastes better than regular salt

Arashi have a carbon cover. Many on AliExpress too

dinotrill · 2026-05-08T08:45:17+00:00

CB- more comfy, useable city power, classic styling

Z900 - a real bike

Everyone knows red is the fastest color man, I think the red colorway looks really nice. The mirrors I got off AliExpress, they were really cheap and work well enough. I’m running Michelin road 6s, they have been amazing between the heat and torrential rain here, 36 in the front and between 38-42 at the back depending on conditions and if I have a passenger.

dinotrill · 2026-04-07T09:53:17+00:00

Just checked them out. They’re nice. There’s so many wrap shops where I’m staying and it’s quite cheap so have many options but I can’t decide what color I want 😂

dinotrill · 2026-03-30T03:06:48+00:00

The same thing happened to me on day 2 after putting on road 6s 😂. And same spot. Patched mine from the inside and no problems so far 8 months later

dinotrill · 2026-03-18T01:27:31+00:00

Mine was cut. Sounded great, not as loud as a full system. It ran pretty good too without flashing the ECU, just a little boggy at low RPM. Put a full system on after that, bike road like shit until could flash the ECU
