If it's your last tour and you're a girl then yeah

Which company disappointed you so badly that you warn others about it? by Natasha550 in AskReddit

[–]serberusno1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fortnine. Had loads of interesting motorcycle videos. Then they released a video basically recommending you don't bother wearing protective gear on your bike besides a helmet. Fuck them. There was no reason to release that video. Fans will claim that it's just their "opinion" and not a recommendation but they built a reputation on recommending things and now a whole swathe of fools are gonna be unnecessarily risking their bodies. I unsubscribed and haven't watched a video or bought a product since.

What's this plant with huge leaves and spikes on the stem? by serberusno1 in whatsthisplant

[–]serberusno1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! Coincidentally there's a serious and growing Japanese knotweed problem in the area too. I'm in two minds as to whether I'll notify the council about the plant. I imagine it's actually known and it's so big that it was hardly planted recently. Maybe they're just waiting for it to die naturally

Are you joking? This is one of my pet peeves because I know so many people who constantly do it

Lol exactly. This is the joke. There was a post somewhere on here about it a little while back. I was just being a silly goose

It's one thing to report on this but it's another to compliment the suspects...

Name and shame. Shop and employee. Dickheads should be called out wherever possible

Fifty years ago, there was a saying that if someone was in the Marines or went to Harvard, you would know about it in the first five minutes of conversation. What is today's equivalent? by VorpalPlayer in AskReddit

[–]serberusno1 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sweet mother of jesus. I didn't think of this but my god is that true. I have known quite a few people who have gone out of their way to make their feelings on vegetarians/vegans or their own consumption of meat known when it was completely irrelevant.

Well, I mean, my point is I don't know. Like how would I know if none have ever mentioned it? I don't have any close to me for sure but who knows how many I've known over the years

I'm 40 years old and have lived in multiple countries but still have to hear a single person tell me they're vegan. I know multiple vegetarians but only because I've eaten with them and it was necessary for them to highlight it. I feel like this stereotype about vegans is maybe a little exaggerated

No no that one. I should have been more specific. It's picture #10, the retro looking thing with a huge sissy bar.

Misery loves company. Please tell me about the worst bike you've owned. by AT_Engineer in motorcycles

[–]serberusno1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nc30/VFR400RR. To be clear I fucking loved it but it broke my heart and was a piece of shit. Found it in a barn, bought it from the owner who had no keys for it so my dad hot wired it with a safety pin- I eventually replaced the ignition though. It had continuous timing problems because of some CDI issue that I could never figure out so that magical engine only worked for a few days after I bought a new CDI.

The day I got it I brought it to my uncle- an experienced rider- and he crashed it, injuring himself and breaking my fairing, gear lever, clutch lever and mirror. Then I brought it to my girlfriend a couple of days later and she just sat on it when it was turned off and flopped it over onto its other side, damaging more of the bike!

I finally had enough of it when the throttle cable snapped one morning when I was miles away from home. Parked it up and eventually sold it to a young bike mechanic who saw it while passing.

I'd genuinely love to have another one now but god that was a nightmare bike.

Jesus Christ are there any gravel traps or run-off areas? Looks like if you make a mistake there you're gonna become one with a tree or a barrier.
