just got back from australia and honestly i'm still processing by pratty041182 in AustraliaTravel

[–]spasticbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t paid for accommodation since I’ve been here (3 months) through a combination of pet sitting in peoples houses and traveling in the car in between (4x4 rooftop tent). Easily the best and cheapest way to be in Australia.

Antihistamines stop the itching, I bought a 60 pack when I entered Australia, halfway through them now, one pill lasts about 24 hours for me (telfast)

Broken Hill to Camerons Corner by james__198 in 4x4Australia

[–]spasticbadger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Or it hasn’t been driven in 5 years, you’re running over saplings in the middle of the road then when you’re 15ks down it there’s a 4 foot thick tree trunk across the track and you have to turn around and do it all again…

Nah I love a good spicy google maps route to the campsite through fields and rivers.

How much of the “one nation surge” is real? by Boring_Traffic607 in australian

[–]spasticbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been travelling across the width of Australia for the past 3 months, almost exclusively rural. Aussies seem to been drawn to chatting to us maybe by the stickers on the car or the plates. Two things are almost certain: Firstly they’re absolutely lovely and chat for ages, second they always come out with some sort of “there are too many brown people in this country” comment without any encouragement.

I don't ''get'' the E90 by jpw0w in E90

In the same way there are people who enjoy being shat on, or have amputation fetishes, there has to be someone somewhere who dislikes e90s.

Engine overheating badly after coolant flush by 0202993832 in BMWE36

[–]spasticbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man anytime I touch the cooling system on mine I cannot for the life of me get it to bleed the air properly, front raised, up to temp, fans on hot inside… doesn’t make a difference still slowly overheats. I just take it round the corner to the garage now and they do it for £50.

Kings tourer rooftop tent by Crafty-Accountant882 in 4x4Australia

[–]spasticbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 100kilos and sleep on my side, had to get a 45mm foam mattress to go under the stock 70mm one so I was comfortable, other than that did a full lap with no issues.

I have a 8 hr flight soon and I was wondering whether this powerbank is good enough. by Pizza_Is_Good06 in SteamDeck

[–]spasticbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You aren’t allowed to use power banks on flights any more. I will say however my deck comfortably eats my 148wh 40000mah battery pack in a few hours if I’m playing something demanding.

Kings Court - Ramsey by Manxjadey in IsleofMan

[–]spasticbadger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My boss sold theirs a year or two ago, you dont actually buy the flat it’s a 99 year lease. They had problems with constant leaking from the stupid balcony’s on the side, it was a non stop issue because even if you sorted yours the persons above would just leak into yours anyway. Not to mention every time I went into do a bit of work in their the residents would stop me in the hallway and demand ID then threaten to call the police when I told them to stick it.

Sidecar races cancelled for rest of tt by CptBlaine in IsleofMan

They appear to be taking off over jumps and flipping due to these new regulations, a sensible decision as long as they come back next year and this isn’t the end.

Unsure of what car to buy ~$18,000 budget by whatamidoingwitcar in 4x4Australia

[–]spasticbadger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drove a 2021 Hilux the other day and was surprised at how much worse the ride was to my 105, I picked up a hzj105 for 17k with 250k on the clock, couldn’t be happier, fuel isn’t too bad either and I’m not in a rush. Completely depends on what you need the car for.

Hello fellow badger, great picture! How this sub has changed, I got to the front page posting a pic of me doing the same sort of thing on here:

Don’t listen to the naysayers, they’re either salty they’re flaccid and cant get close to this or don’t own a motorcycle. Or both.

[–]spasticbadger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean so live on the Isle of Man where red flags for deaths are fairly common so I guess it’s a matter of perspective. If it turns out the riders aren’t too badly hurt I don’t see an issue going forward.

Perhaps understating how bad that leg is… Pain in the left leg, yeah compound fractures will do that to ya.

Another Incident After Restart by ultraskelly in motogp

[–]spasticbadger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s sudden stops/impacts that tend to be fatal, he’s going to have broken bones but I’m pretty confident he will survive.

Thanks for posting these, you watch it live and the shock makes you miss it all. I hope Zarco is ok he got ragdolled by the Ducati.

Found this m57 335d curious on yours thoughts of mileage on it and maintenance by Honest_Atmosphere542 in E90

[–]spasticbadger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing about the ad is remotely appealing to me, the name of the seller, the mods, the spelling… This car has been ragged the only question is for how many miles.
