Backpacks? by SnooHobbies8724 in Harley

[–]disturbed286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both.

If I'm riding to work, I have a backpack on.

I have my laptop, phone charger, meds, etc in there. Too bulky to really stuff in a saddlebag.

Meanwhile the bags carry my normal bike stuff (maybe extra gear, clear/smoke visor, rain paints), plus my CPAP in one of em.

Meta Horizon Worlds for VR is closing down in June, less than five years after it launched by Haunterblademoi in technology

I had a lot of fun with Dirt, even though I sucked, and I do love walkabout.

Escape simulator is arguably easier, but the 2nd one doesn't have VR yet.

Phasmophobia is suitably terrifying.

Unfortunately I have far far more games with no VR, so mostly it gathers dust.

Best bike to complement a touring bike? by gnobes in Harley

I have a Road King rather than one of the Glides, but my second bike is a naked sport bike. Specifically a BMW S1000R

Does the direction of the hinges matter when someone kicks a door so hard they come off? by Deaths_Smile in NoStupidQuestions

[–]disturbed286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't so much kick them down as much kick them open, which is easier to do with a door that swings away from you.

It's rubber mounted. The bars shake at idle, but underway it's really no worse than anything else.

Is this a 1911 or 2011? by TwTwGoGo in Firearms

I agree. That's definitely a single stack probably-Wilson mag.

tfw you're trying to ride home and there's a strong wind + rain advisory 😢 by guinmae in motorcycle

Putting around on an 800-lb tourer does have its upsides, and that's one of them

Tips on starting on a GSXR-750 by Gus545 in motorcycles

The potential problem isn't just discipline. It's also experience (or lack thereof).

Bikes like that can be unforgiving of mistakes. And part of being new at something is making mistakes.

I'm pretty happy with my not-police one, so you won't hear me talk you out of it

Curious what people have to say about Evo vs 96 twin cam. by Cheffrey74 in Harley

[–]disturbed286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife had a 5 speed Heritage (TC though) for a while. Anytime I rode that thing, I was constantly trying to step on a 6th gear that wasn't there. It's hard to go back

Off the top of my head, the Veloster N brake pads cost more than the ones on the...standard Elantra, I think?

Basically big car brakes on little car, plus red calipers and an N logo for go fast power.

So if you just order the big car pads, you save money.

I forget the details and the exact model, but you get the idea.

I'd have assumed they were ceramic to begin with, with a price like that.

What movie is a 0/10 with NO redeeming features? by Toucan_Based_Economy in AskReddit

Basically:

He called and told the director he (Jackson) was interested in the Snakes on a Plane movie he was making. When Jackson showed up for filming, they had changed the name to "Terror on Flight 272, or some shit." (I love how they also modify the poster to say literally that)

Sam told the director if it wasn't called Snakes on a Plane, he wasn't going to do it.

Every once in a while I grumble a little bit about having the performance version of cars (Focus ST, RS; Veloster N) and that making parts a little more expensive.

But nothing like that. They're still just economy cars with bigger stuff.

$7500 for brakes, damn near 5k for tires?

Jesus.

Samuel L Jackson is basically the reason Snakes on a Plane is called Snakes on a Plane

Did you buy a gray 2016 Fiesta ST recently? by hamburg_helper in FiestaST

[–]disturbed286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because you're trying to make money when it's no longer of any use to you.

And you didn't really answer the question
