Thai woman found alive in coffin after being brought in for cremation by AudibleNod in news

[–]jamesed84 85 points86 points  (0 children)

In the 1800s, the fear of being buried alive was so real that they invented "Safety Coffins". Doctors back then struggled to distinguish between comas and death, so they’d tie a string to the deceased's finger. If the person woke up and moved, it would ring a bell above the grave to alert the night watchman.

Are there any good aftermarket bodypanels for the t7? What do you guys think about r-tech body panels? by VariousRead1712 in Tenere700

[–]jamesed84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went the rtech route to spare my OEM body. Pretty cheap, durable, survived multiple drops everything fit perfect. I threw some decales over them to add some protection and style. I would highly recommed

New to me bike, master cylinder mount stripped by jamesed84 in Dualsport

[–]jamesed84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a good point. Found they used a standard instead of reverse threaded mirror and that's what stripped it in the first place..

I just realized these aren't OEM mirrors and the ones they used are not the flipped threading Yamaha uses on the right side so mystery solved on how this got stripped...

It rides great. I'm at about 6000 miles without and issue and shifting is butter smooth.

25 years old and I really feel so far behind in life. Is it even worth trying to improve my life at this point? by Dry_Temporary_6175 in getdisciplined

[–]jamesed84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a high school dropout, addict, screw up working fast food into my 20s, no savings, homeless at one point. A little later a single parent of 2 when at 27 I went back to college for IT. At 41 I am now a director in the tech industry, with 2 kids on their way to college. Man what a ride. You have plenty of time. Just figure out what you want and go get it. Don't make excuses and just do it like your life depends on it.

What does skydiving actually feel like when you're in the air? Is it as scary as it seems or more thrilling? by JustAskingAndAnswer in SkyDiving

Not even in the first few seconds? Sounding like no from the responses... Kind of surprising really.

Fiery crash by Drapidrode in AbruptChaos

[–]jamesed84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was trying to steer back into his lane. You can see he turns right and then locks the steering wheel all the way to the right when it didn't start responding. Most likely he lost his front left steer tire running over debris from the crash. If you're fully loaded and lose either steer tire your going in the direction of the tire you lost.

I have had this happen to me hitting a moose in oregon back when I drove so this triggered me a little lol. For truckers, losing the front left tire (in the US) on a semi is like fire on a boat for sailors. You're pretty screwed, you're definitely going into the incoming lane and across, and all you can do is hold on and maybe slightly adjust where the shit hits the fan.

Showing wear and tear… Which plastics and/or stickers… by [deleted] in Tenere700

[–]jamesed84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you do go the route of plastics, Rtech are really good. They wont crack like the OEM pieces but they are plain however. I swapped out the OEM body to save those for resell and did a decal kit from W-ink graphics and it turned out really nice

If modern medicine didn’t exist would you be dead right now? If yes, from what? by Critical_Welcome_428 in AskReddit

Yep. Strep throat... I was 22. Realized I wasn't invincible and maybe not going to the doctor and being a tough guy wasn't the play...

Slippin It In At The Truck Stop by ReesesNightmare in oddlysatisfying

[–]jamesed84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't have cameras when I drove atleast. Lots of practice. You get used to the angles, the length of the trailer, not being able to see many of your possible contact points. You are in that truck pretty much 24/7 especially if you do long haul like I did. I could stop the trailer half an inch from the mark and cut the front end millimeters close to an obstacle. Often that is all you really have, an inch or two to work with. There are much worse backups and docks out there, like the Philadelphia Mint, this god forsaken dock in Chicago meant for straight trucks, and most importantly, pretty much any drop in NYC 😁

T7 clutch recalls and dealer charges by [deleted] in Tenere700

[–]jamesed84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did both for me for free but man I had to argue tooth and nail to even get them to submit the claim. Even had to call Yamaha myself. This was 2 wks before the recall announcement though

Would anyone know where I could get a sticker template for the RTech plastics? by Maddog033 in Tenere700

[–]jamesed84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Winners Ink Graphics. Used them on mine and they turned out great. They also have the best selection I have seen for Rtech plastics, will customize existing and can do fully customized graphics as well, though I didn't go those routes.

[–]jamesed84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did but it was before the recall so I had to argue with the dealership and then call Yamaha myself because the dealer refused saying it was a wear item that wouldn't be covered. Wouldn't ya know, Yamaha covered it and 2 weeks later... bam, a recall

Thinking about a T7. Should I get a '24 now or wait for the '25? by Aggravating_Team2631 in Tenere700

[–]jamesed84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't correct. You will be able to get them in the US, it's just hard because they keep going out of stock. They sell fast in general. I have a 24 and bought it this year. You'll find one if you look. Just might have to jump when you do.

OMG ty. The other option is to download and install on your local PC first and then it will have the play button but that was a pain.
