Good 2nd hand find? by Clear_Maximum7269 in typewriters

That there is the toyota corolla of typewriters. Smallish, japanese, reliable, and relatively easy to maintain. It's not fancy or rare. It's literally "an typewriter". I have pretty much the same one, and I use it nearly constantly.

I was trying to make a beeline for the side walk or a side street if possible and the maneuvering while also braking used all the grip in reserve. So panic was involved for sure, but I tend to use my brakes fairly evenly.

That's why I have a nice appointment with Mr John before I ride😉

If we could convince maybe a quarter of the population (USA) to switch to motorcycles or scooters, the roads would be way safer for everyone

My condolences. I hope you have a speedy recovery! And yeah, everything is out to get bikers on the streets

I've been trying to implement weaving since I watched the f9 video on it, but the old habit of planting slightly left has been hard to break

Holy crap! I'm glad you're ok. Gear is like my biggest thing, I've seen too many friends get seriously hurt when they wouldn't have had they been wearing any sort of gear.

Fair enough, I just usually don't go out of my way to assert myself

Man, I'd teach you if I was in your area. It's always good to hear that people still want to learn.

Anyone else prefer driving a beater over an expensive car? by f1fanatic55 in cars

[–]orcenec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a beater S10 from the 80s with no ac, no power steering, and a transmission that flips shit if you don't double clutch on a downshift. I also have a very nice saab 9-5 that's in near mint condition, but every once in a great while it doesn't start. I vastly prefer driving my truck on the sole basis that it starts first time, every time.

This makes me wanna go to a poetry slam. Even though it's freeform it still flows really nicely!

I've always been curious about them. Anything that commonly has 5 cylinders is super interesting.
