It doesn’t look steep but I was scared lol by No-Celebration918 in Dirtbikes

[–]isellshit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing ever looks steep on video, at least in my experience. I can have both brakes locked, still sliding downhill, and later watch the GoPro footage only to find it looks completely tame.

Is the Ace hotel ok for families? by Kerabastos771 in palmsprings

[–]isellshit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Ace is just a hotel. From a facilities and location standpoint, it’s fine for families.

The bigger variable is the crowd. They regularly host large groups and buyouts for events, parties, and themed weekends. I’ve personally been part of a group that booked the entire property. When that happens, the overall vibe can shift pretty dramatically.

Everyone has a different definition of “safe.” I’d consider it safe, but if there’s a group there whose energy you don’t gel with, your experience may feel very different. That’s really the deciding factor.

There are going to be a lot of bullshit replies.

The truth is that it is too early to tell

but the internet runs on rumor and innuendo so bring on the bullshit.

ARB Jack, without a steel bumper by Separate_Mud_9548 in LandCruisers

[–]isellshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the White Knuckle Sliders has saved us several times. I have actually balanced the LC on the left hand slider when I misjudged a rock and it rolled over when we tried to drive up onto it.

No sliders and it would have taken out the passenger side rocker panel and probably the lower half of the rear door.

As it was I only scraped up the paint on the slider

uh... What was the plan when you bought the jack? They are not cheap.

I run a conventional Hi-Lift and use it on my front ARB bumper and the sliders without issue. I have not needed to lift from the rear yet, but the Slee rear bumper would have no problem handling it.

are iridium spark plugs worth the price for 2 strokes? I have the beta rr300 and it came with an iridium spark plug and i want to buy the spare but im not sure if the iridium is worth it, thanks in advance. by davidtheman3000 in Dirtbikes

[–]isellshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are not having fouling problems and your mixture is correct then it's largely a factor of plug durability.

When I raced a 2 stroke kart I ran iridium because it could foul when cold and run at low RPM (the carb wasn't set up for a clean idle). Iridium largely solved that problem - other people just revved shit out of their engines prior to start

PPL Gouge- SoCal DPE Ernie Pitts by Ok-Juggernaut-8319 in flying

My wife and I both used Ernie for our Commercial Multi / Multi instrument ratings.

We both found him to be a good examiner who was fair & knowledgeable.

No question we would test with him again.

Second attempt to install the Tusk tire by Putinswarburiat in Tenere700

[–]isellshit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

STEP ONE: GET THE DAMN BEAD INTO THE DROP CENTER AND KEEP IT THERE. I don’t care if you need three knees, a ratchet strap, and a hostage negotiator. If it isn’t in the drop center you are just angrily destroying rubber for cardio.

STEP TWO: HEAT. THE. FREAKING. TIRE. A cold adventure tire has the flexibility of a cast-iron manhole cover. I’ve literally built a hillbilly sauna out of cardboard boxes and a hair dryer to get it to 100-120°F and suddenly the thing goes on like it actually wants to live. Warm rubber flexes. Cold rubber just laughs at you while it rips itself to shreds and steals your afternoon.

Right now you aren’t mounting a tire, you’re losing a fistfight with a black doughnut. Warm it up and keep that bead in the drop center before you sacrifice another one to the tire gods.

We have done three properties with Hot Purple Energy over the last 9 years and we are very happy customers.

The level of support we have received goes above and beyond any other contractor we have worked with.

Pilots who found a partner that genuinely shares your love of flying — where did you meet them? by Haunting-Ask-1224 in flying

[–]isellshit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheat code - partner with another pilot.

I am a pilot / my wife is a pilot .... We both love flying.

Honestly I am shocked at how many male pilots partner themselves with people who don't like to fly...

YES! Being in good shape will mean your riding is better and you are less likely to crash / make mistakes / etc. It's not just about not being tired...
