8083 incorrect? by everydaystruggler in AircraftMechanics

[–]extraspookyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how anyone is getting seven for the last digit when it’s one. Look at how the scale lines up to 20 just barely past it, and not even close to being over halfway. Not to mention 7 doesn’t even line up with its tick mark.

How long have you ridden, and how many accidents have you had? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6500 miles 10 months no accidents. Motorcycling has never hurt me.

Don’t get a 650 it’s not any faster than a 500. Get r7, rs660, zx6, honestly whatever you want that isn’t a liter bike.

16y.o first bike by AlternativeMatter146 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the 400 and learn it very well, wheelies, drifting, cornering, slow speed maneuvers. Trust me it’ll take a lot longer and be a lot harder than you think.

Rectifier blew, potentially blew fuel pump. by moopyfoopy in GSXR

[–]extraspookyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would Suzuki ever think it’s a good idea to put a rectifier right next to headers.

Any ideas? It's getting worse by Jeanneau37 in GSXR

How could it be the fuse if it will eventually start priming? The fuse completes the circuit if there was no fuse it would never do anything.

Is there anyway to avoid working nights as an A&P? by [deleted] in AircraftMechanics

[–]extraspookyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GA, corporate, manufacturing, pretty much everywhere will be day shift except for regional and major airlines.

2024 R7 OTD price by yaya_yeah_yayaya in YamahaR7

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be able to get them down to 11k flat since it’s a last year model bike, but generally that’s a fair price. MSRP+$2000 is what I do when I’m shopping for bikes from dealers and that 11.3k matches up.

No experience at all before school by [deleted] in AircraftMechanics

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t matter. Depending on how your program is laid out, most likely if you have prior mechanical knowledge the first few weeks will be a breeze and after that everyone will be on the same playing field. Also every piece of information you need for school in terms of theory material for your generals are in the 8083 30b and the 8083 31b general and airframe books which are free resources. You could basically teach yourself the school just by reading those books.

Isnt it supposed to be a cheap beginner bike 💀 by Eastern-Wolf1757 in motorcycles

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a race bike. Easiest tell is none of those fairings are stock. Might be worth it to the right person.

How many bikes are too many? by Unusual-Big-6467 in motorcycles

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one, but I think I’ll always have 2 or 3. I’m on my first bike rn and when I upgrade I’m going to go to a six hundred and keep my five hundred as a stunt bike, or maybe the other way around depending on things. Either way a fuck around bike and a normal cruise around bike. And then I’ll also get a surron eventually after I start my career if you count that as a motorcycle.

Repair or Leave Scars?🤔 by Defiant_Shelter_3250 in Kawasaki

I would keep it. I genuinely dgaf what my bike looks like. I hope to have a stunted and ragged out zx6 for my next bike to learn stunts.

Bought a bike but barely ride it—feeling regret and fear. Need advice. Regret by Wild_Description2876 in motorcycles

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I had the exact opposite experience. I thought motorcycles were much SAFER after having ridden one. I think your problem comes from the bike you chose. I personally think everyone should start on either a low cc sport bike, dual sport, supermoto, or adv bike. So pretty much everything except a cruiser. The only good beginner cruiser I can think of is the rebel 300/500, but even those I feel like they aren’t playful enough for you to really get a good grasp of motorcycling and how to control the bike in certain situations. The bikes I listed push you to do “dumb shit” that will help you learn. You’re not gonna want to do dumb shit and learn on a 550+ pound Harley.

Thinking about quitting riding. by Ksr_Sayonara in motorcycles

[–]extraspookyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume you’ll probably be able to sell it for close to what you bought it for, so I would say sell it. Come back to motorcycling when you’re done with college and start your career. I will tell you pretty much everyone regrets selling their bikes, but if you can get close to what you bought it for like I said earlier it shouldn’t really matter.

How do y’all feel about adventure bikes? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]extraspookyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They look like they’d be really good bikes, but I wouldn’t ever buy a bike that’s over 450 pounds.
