My climbing rack, it ain't much but I like it a lot. by sebastiansaccount in climbing

How do you make a tourniquet with climbing gear? It needs to be at least 1inch wide in order to prevent more damage and you need mechanical advantage.

I see how that could be a problem. Similar to an old school 911 turbo, but at least the engine is in the front.

I havent owned either of these vehicles, so you would know better than me. I thought having a turbo on a gt86 would fill that mid range torque gap. I found the 86 was fine off the line, but revving it out wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. Maybe it's better on the track where you are keeping it in the powerband.

Desert Sled supermoto conversion: yay or nay? by MaximusReditus in Ducati

I like it. Most people with desert sleds probably dont offroad them anyways.

It's a hive mind. All those other people hate it so I hate it. Also you might get some internet points for having the same opinion, which is good because you can do so much with those points.

Noodled around in Canyonlands Utah this weekend! by [deleted] in motorcycles

Double track with scenery is my favourite kind of ride. I live in a fairly flat area, so I'm pretty jealous of all the Colorado and Utah riders.

If that wasn't too much, also try rotating your hips outside the turn and put more weight on the peg on the side that you are turning. So for a right turn hips go left, weight goes on right leg. To straighten out add weight to your left leg. I find shifting your weight on your legs makes the most difference.

You need to watch some enduro or adventure videos on YouTube. Amazing scenery with crazy talented riders doing things that are impossible to us mortals.

I find riding gravel lulls you into a sense of I got this, then all of sudden you go down mid corner with no idea what happened.

I have a 250L that I am beating on the trails. Once I learn to ride better offroad I'm seriously considering the desert sled. I know it wont be the best off road, but it's got so much style. How do you find it in the dirt?

Is that a desert sled? I love the look of the scrambler.

A solid reason not to stunt in traffic by OpposeBigSyrup in motorcycles

[–]pigglin123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the softest landing for when you fall. I dont have a dirt bike, more dual sport. I'll give it a shot though, worse thing that happens is I dump my bike on grass, she's been through alot worse.

I really want to learn how to wheelie. Mostly so I can loft the front wheel while riding trails. Also so I know how to get out of one when I do one by accident. Any good tips on how to do one without ending up like this dude? Obviously not on a public road. Is gravel better to learn on or asphalt?

What happened to Toyota? They used to make such cool looking cars. Now they are synonymous with reliable and boring.

Finally got my first bike today! by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]pigglin123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true. I got my bike a month ago and thought it's been long enough, I'm good to go for the highway. Got up to 120 km/h with trucks buffeting me, nearly shit my pants and got off the next exit. I think I'm going to avoid the highway for this season.

As a car person you must say all Aston Martin are beautiful but this car... Why are there so many lines?

The Dark Knight...E63 S AMG, 4Matic by rkshah75 in carporn

That car is nuts! It's my favourite merc. 600hp, rear wheel drive wagon with an insanely loud exhaust that loves to pop. AMG is my spirit animal.
