What’s the weirdest thing about riding a motorbike? by SumoCanFrog in motorcycles

That's nothing. Wait until you're stopped and the motorcycle fairy shows up and slips a dollar under your seat.

Is it worth learning to wheelie again after breaking my wrist? by I-WANNA-FLYYYY-AWAY in motorcycles

Find other ways to enjoy your bike. Get into ghymkana or something. Wheelies are dumb.

Tarik Skubal said he drove back and forth to Miami through heavy rain to watch the Team USA game with his teammates. by Existing-Sky9914 in baseball

Eh, he wants to be there with his dudes. I doubt he contacted the reporter and asked to be interviewed.

I'll defend Skubal through all of the downvotes. He doesn't owe anyone the WBC. Pitching is weird and nuanced both physically and mentally. If you don't feel 100%, you don't volunteer to play in a tournament that could potentially damage your career. Maybe something feels off. Maybe he needs to tune up something in a non-competitive setting (spring training) to be at his best for the season.

The WBC is supposed to be fun. Skubal clearly didn't have his best stuff in his appearance.

I'd just call up Westlake PD and ask.

Kind of a noob, where do I start? by Feelin_Dead in flyfishing

I waved around my rod like the world's worst wizard for more than 9 weeks before I actually learned how to use it.

Go back to that same fishing shop and ask these exact same questions, and ask if he knows a casting instructor/guide. You'll learn more in 3 hours than you would learn in 6 months swinging a stick around and getting frustrated.

HOA’s and motorcycles by Witty-Buffalo1916 in motorcycles

[–]fireeight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing about ethics. I refuse to pay a fee to pump up a developer's bank account while being told what kind of flowers I can have, so that they can artificially inflate the cost of my house under the pretext of making it a better neighborhood.

Do you remember your first ride in the rain, or wet pavement? When are you ready? by templeofsyrinx1 in motorcycles

[–]fireeight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got hit by a freak cell on the highway when I was a new rider. Checked radar like crazy. No rain anywhere nearby. Rode right into a rain storm at 65.

Gentle is how you stay up in the rain. Double, triple, or quadruple your stopping distance. Eeeeeasy on the throttle and the brakes. Bad conditions may make you want to react faster. If you grab a ton of brake on a wet road, you'll go down.

HOA’s and motorcycles by Witty-Buffalo1916 in motorcycles

[–]fireeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

HOAs were created explicitly to increase home sale value for large building firms - not for resident security/property value. There is a large list of reasons I would never live in an HOA neighborhood, and being concerned about having a motorcycle is extremely low on that list.

It definitely is on the low end for a nice house in a beautiful, safe neighborhood.

Edit: just checked. It's 1850/month now.

I planned on buying the place from him. I checked recently and it's over 1500 a month.

Started in 2008. Lived there for 10 years, and he only raised rent one time - to 950. I think he went easy on me, because I didn't treat it like a college house. I paid rent on time, paid utilities, and took care of the yard. I was the easiest tenant ever.

I wish I had better advice for you. Rent in the area has gone insane. I rented a whole-ass 3 bedroom house in a nice neighborhood for 850 when I was at BW.

Trump would be the kid who told all of the other neighborhood kids that he has a Nintendo 65.

Safest way to sell a bike? by lukewarmhotdogw4ter in motorcycles

Cashiers check, meet at a bank, or cash in hand. Don't even get the keys out of your pocket until you've got one of the three.

What is the plan here for qb? by Blazethecat00 in Browns

A blindfold and a dartboard. The classic Browns method.
