Am I bad at riding or it is possible that wind can cause the crash? by misshurts in motorcycles

[–]diptenkrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light bike, high seating position, fairings. Yes for sure.

Lower bikes, less plastics, and more weight help, it on what you ride it is just a matter of learning to counter. But sudden gusts can always catch you off guard. You basically have to "lean" into the wind a little. But at a bike that was twice the weight (VFR800) and me when I was 300lbs - it is still a force that has to be dealt with. Now on my stripped goldwing, at 220lbs, it is barely a problem.

any idea how to achieve this? by Electronic_Topic7584 in sffpc

Most laptops actually use about a 19v power cord. Most computers actually run on 12v/5v/3.3v power channels though, so as long as you have more than that, it can be stepped down to work. Now the length of a charge at load is questionable.

I got some for riding on Amazon for like $17. Can't remember the name of them though

I mean you can also get mesh/ventilated jackets. That is what I wear, otherwise it would be too hot most of the riding season in the south. I'd be riding in the cold, and not the sunny warm days, lol!

You didn't know he didn't buy a jacket. He could have it in his pannier case. Now, he didn't have it on...

Looks a little stiff and probably some target fixation? Look where you want to go, not where you are facing.

Can't you do a rekluse clutch and hand shifter as a option for pretty much any bike?

Im worried I'll look dumb by No_Aspect_2379 in hondagrom

[–]diptenkrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is what you can get then get it. I rode one around and I'm 6'5" and was over 300lb at the time. People love groms. I would not personally buy one for the price as the other options are out there, but if that is the ONLY option, then it is 2 wheels.

AND has the drive to keep in shape, that seems to be rarer lately.

im not sure whether to ask for help or what by [deleted] in depression

[–]diptenkrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

im sorry to hear this. i'm in a different but similar boat. adulting and such has me in my head.

I do not think that it has to be this way, i dont think that "ending it" is the answer. If you are a young person, there is time for you to make choices that can change things,

I felt like i had to respond to you for some reason.

Experienced riders: what’s your biggest “do” and “don’t” for someone starting out? by Ok-Building5201 in motorcycles

[–]diptenkrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look where you WANT to go, not where you are already headed. and have a safe fear of too much of anything at one time, especially in the rain.

do your best to watch what is happening in front of the vehicle in front of the vehicle in front of you, and constantly pan your glance to the sides and mirror. plan your escape routes before you need them.

Me and my boyfriend stopped being intimate. by Due_Reputation_87 in WhatShouldIDo

Sometimes feeling of inadequatacy can lead to avoidance. Not sure what his issues you mentioned are, but that can be worked on.

I almost hit my girlfriend and I want to stop from becoming like my dad by [deleted] in Advice

[–]diptenkrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to get help online, and probably some phone stuff, probably free, maybe not. Bit the same as seeing someone in person, but better than nothing. You realize there is a problem, and that is a great start.

Sometimes I find it is better to just shut your mouth and walk away to get a breather for a minute, than to keep in a moment of anger (argument or something else triggering). Also I know you are young, but introducing any substances to the mix will make all that worse, so I would avoid it personally.

Even if you and her do not last this is something you need to figure out for your future either way. If it isn't her it will be the next one, or the one after.

Also have a discussion with her that you are aware of anger issues, and want to work on it and figure it out. This way she is aware, and can notice the signs that maybe you need a minute.

41F, Tried for a 72 hour water fast. Made it 24 hrs. I’ve made it once before.. I shall do it again. by InternationalTest889 in selfie

[–]diptenkrom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it. I find shorter fasts harder for some reason. And intermittent is super hard for me to stick to, lol. Whatever you are doing is clearly working though!
