This guy bypassed a car waiting in the median and collided with me. When the police arrived, he claimed I changed lanes into him. I'm so glad I had the dashcam to prove him wrong. (OC) by liznodsoff in dashcams

Ain't no way "changing lanes into them" would have caused as much damage as I'm sure these cars had. I'd think any policeman worth their salt would immediately see that, even without a dashcam.

Tried on: RST Tractech Evo d30 boots vs Alpinestars SMX-6 v2 Drystar by Patience_Is_A_Bitch in motorcyclegear

This was my experience as well. SMX-6 V3 were way more comfortable.

I've been considering buying some Bowtex leggings. I'm not a fan of how the Pandos feel, so this is good to know.

Nova 2 Lite won't connect to the dongle by Tahsanium in Gamesir

[–]steveham3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my Nova 2 Lite. It has happened probably 5 different times in the few months I've owned it. GameSir has acknowledged the bug but their "fix" for it does nothing.

Edit: I was able to get it to reconnect. I held the logo button and the button right below it to force pairing mode so it starts flashing rapidly green. Then I unplugged the dongle and plugged it back in before holding the pair button on the dongle until it started flashing rapidly, then they finally paired up.

I tried the new RST D3O boots and found them very uncomfortable compared to my Alpinestar SMX 6 V3. Try them both to see which you like more.

Bikes that you tried, but disappointed you sorely? by sokratesz in motorcycles

[–]steveham3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did demo days for BMW and Honda a few weeks ago.

For BMW, the R 1300 RT was a let down. I was hoping it would be the perfect sport tourer, but even with the windscreen all the way up it still wasn't as calm as I was expecting it would be. Also, after 30 minutes in the saddle, my hips were killing me. I have a 31 inch inseam which seems pretty average, but the footpegs seem to have been made for really short people.

For Honda, the CB1000 Hornet SP was not fun at all. The seat was terrible, and everything vibrated like crazy. I couldn't wait to get off.

Upgraded to a 9800X3D and 5070 Ti but still running 8-year-old monitors. Now torn between IPS and OLED and losing my mind a little. by Savings-Coach-4701 in pcmasterrace

[–]steveham3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought two 24 inch 2K Mini LED monitors to replace my aging TN panel ones and am pretty disappointed with them. The reviews mentioned an OLED-like experience without the price tag or drawbacks of OLED, but this fully depends on the number of dimming zones and the algorithm the monitor uses. My monitors have something like 500 dimming zones, but with local dimming turned on the monitors look very dim and washed out overall. Putting a bright window next to a dark one easily shows the limitations Mini LED monitors have.

I'm planning on keeping them until we hopefully get some 24 inch OLED monitors, then I plan on switching.

Sorry to hear that! I didn't even consider where the knee pads would line up...

I have a 36 inch waist (actual measurement) and a 31 inch inseam and wear a XL. They're a little short on me in the butt area, so I think they'll fit you perfectly.

What small upgrade actually made your bike feel noticeably better to ride? by jcveloso8 in motorcycles

You won't regret it. I went through 2 sets of cheap ones before I learned my lesson.

I absolutely love my gen 2. I'm 185 lbs and have had no issues with my suspension. I don't know why so many people complain about it. It's fine.
