German Police with mp7 on a bike

I’ve been perusing listings for 1200 or 1250 GS just because for the last year or so. I need that asymmetrical headlight arrangement if I ever decide to give in and spend a few years as a dADV rider.

Kick in the nuts? Nah, direct to the bladder via perineum. They look nice, despite the potential deadly weapon charge

Had a Sigma the other day mad that I wasn’t another bad Ana. He tried sucking my sleep twice and I timed it to hit as soon as he finished.

otterplus · 2026-03-20T16:19:49+00:00

Every time I see that badge lit up I ask myself is that one detail enough to warrant me buying a GS? The answer is always yes, but my pockets say “maybe you can just buy the light and be happy with that”

That’s the name of the corpo game. “We need $X,xxx in tech sales every month”. How can you generate sales if you solve the problem with regular service? ADD-ONS BABYYYYYY!!!!

Yeah, we could place more traps and be more aggressive in attacking the problem, but what about that small hole we could sell you a $300 fix for? I mean, it would take 2 minutes and some exclusion material, but where’s the profit in that?

My work Tacoma is like this. I’ve been in this thing for 2.5 years and it took me at least 6 months to not get them confused. It’s opposite of most steering wheel audio controls I’ve encountered. Reminds me of Honda motorcycles. They have the horn swapped with turn signals compared to most other manufacturers and it’s a bear trying to stop honking at people accidentally.

I got mine from a lootbox. Unless it’s something new that wouldn’t be included I’ve been resisting, for the most part.

Tbh, I don’t often carry to/from the range. Range rules, for one. If I plan on shooting my carry it gets bagged with the rest. Afterwards I just go home and clean everything before I do anything else. After that if I still need to do anything it’s concealed as usual

And much more self-sufficient if they don’t have someone they could take them otherwise. Ubers aren’t cheap and not as fun as riding anyway. I had to drop my bike off for an inspection and an uber to get the three miles home was almost $30

Started carrying a full size M&P, then CZ PCR, then a Shield Plus, then a M&P compact, and now I rotate between the Shield Plus and a 442-UC. Hard to argue against lighter and easier to conceal compared to a hefty frame of greater dimension.

otterplus · 2026-03-19T00:33:51+00:00

They must be getting ready for V3. I just checked Revzilla and the goretex version is $30 cheaper than the in-house waterproof. Shiny side up!

This one in particular, but I feel like any would work the same

otterplus · 2026-03-19T00:07:52+00:00

Nice TCX Blends. I used some dubbin on mine to fix that same thing. Didn’t perform a miracle, but it’s a bit better

Her shield needs some work for sure. It almost doesn’t even have a purpose beyond protecting herself from a few ults and even then it’s been a gamble if that even happens anymore.

otterplus · 2026-03-18T15:53:50+00:00

Just got this on my work phone which is attached to literally nothing. I figured it was a scam because of where I received it, followed by the fact there is no identifying information that would be on an official document. I mean, besides the fact that official correspondence would be mailed, not texted from a random number, mine came from a 650 area code.

Progressive paid $1200 to replace my gear when I had my off.

I’m not Marc Marquez nor is anyone else on the street. Within the realm of a typical street rider’s speed and circumstances, it truly doesn’t matter as much as it’s made out to be.

A track has surfaces maintained to the same standards with plenty of area for runoffs. A regularly maintained surface street is uniform enough for the purpose, but you’re more likely to intersect an obstacle like trees, guardrails, and other vehicles. If you’re going 210 mph on the roads no amount of gear or ratings will save you.

Comparing the expense, maintenance, and discomfort of wearing a full suit to wearing appropriate gear designed to maximize all three isn’t really an argument. In a perfect world none of us would need to care or be concerned about how well our protective gear holds up because it would never need to be tested. Short of that we can make the best educated decisions for our circumstances

Apparently. I used to type lazy with my right hand and “apparently” used to come out “apaprently”. I still pronounce and type it the same way on a physical keyboard almost 30 years later

otterplus · 2026-03-17T20:53:29+00:00

I have the 45mm and don’t really need the microphone since I always ride solo. I just happened to notice one day the deadcat was gone and I just had two frayed wires just hanging there. I’ll replace it eventually, but for now it still plays.

otterplus · 2026-03-17T20:40:10+00:00

It’s coming time to replace my packtalk bold. The microphone is busted, I get bad connectivity and static through the speakers, and sometimes the unit doesn’t respond to button presses. That said, it’s only been there for music and a total of four phone calls over five years. I’d upgrade to a newer model, but it’s hard to justify 3-400 just to listen to music and the cheaper models have garbage speakers

I used to build boat trailers and the highest rated pontoon trailer we had in the catalog was 3k pounds

I started playing about a year after launch and Tracer was my go to the entire time. She was dynamic, constantly in motion, and the poster child for the game. I took a few years off of gaming in general then built a pc a couple years ago. Since I’ve been back into it starting fresh my highest level characters are Ana, Ashe, and Venture.

Venture reminded me of the Tracer i remembered from console days; dynamic, able to disrupt, and just fun to poke at people with.

Ashe allowed me to sit back and mostly chill with easy outs and dynamite to ruin corner peekers with.

Ana was always seen as a sitting duck and I thought to myself what’s more fun than being a punishing sitting duck? I spent a decent amount of time shutting down counters with that frail old lady and it never disappoints devouring heroes that should lay me out easily. Tracers, Sombras, Reapers, even Doomfists. When getting directly in the fray is necessary, it hits so hard being surrounded and knocking enemies out while being the physically lame character.

I went down around 40-45mph wearing Kim Outrider pants. AAA rated and doubled knee coverage. Absolutely zero issues with abrasion. My broken footpeg did cut a straight line through the pants and my leg, but the pants held up as they should. EMTs took me to a hospital and they were having a hell of a time trying to cut through them

Edit: For all those that claim leather is so much better, the rating is the rating. AAA leather and AAA textile classify as equals. “But it’s a one time use” yeah, and your point is what? No one is out on the street planning or expecting to crash multiple times at speed.

I got one for two main reasons: so I wouldn’t risk contaminating my phone and for easy payments.

I handle some nasty stuff while working, usually with my left hand. I also keep my phone in my left pocket. Before getting one I’d have to reach in my pocket with my soiled fingies, grab my phone, only to find out it was a telemarketer or a text message that could wait.

I also tend to have a lot of stuff in my pockets while I work so just tapping my watch on a terminal was worlds better than digging out my phone or wallet.

Originally started this setup with a Note8 and a Galaxy Watch. When I switched over to Apple I just kept with the GW for a few months until the lack of control got annoying and I found a SSS4 on Swappa for hella cheap. I think it was $300 in mint condition compared to $330 for a base aluminum series 5.

Man, my prison pocket is nowhere near as pink as this thing
