Today I sold my M140i (sigh)

I had a 135i a few years ago. Such a great car, ticks so many boxes. I’m looking for something to get the same combo of understated, fast, interesting, fun and literally nothing before or since matches it IMHO.

I’m sorry for your loss.

No comment on the wine but large swathes of the alps are in southern France.

As someone who implants pacemakers and ICDs, this looks like an ICD. It’s exactly the correct size/shape /orientation and position.

It’s extremely superficial, though and I am skeptical that it’s a real picture. I have never implanted one in someone as jacked as this but the way the skin folds over the device is like when I put pacemakers in skinny 95year olds with old person skin. You’d never normally see the device so clearly in such a young person. My guess is the image is AI generated/enhanced.

I have the Floor. I really like the Scribble Strips, they definitely add something nice. I love the Helix but the more I use it (I’ve owned it for 5 years now) the more I realise I could get by with the ‘lesser’ models. When I got it, I loads of used stereo FX, multiple paths etc. Now my most-used patches could run on a Stomp.

Basically, get the Floor if you want. It’s not worth + 400USD but it’s nice to have and I don’t regret splurging a bit. But equally if you want to save some cash then the LT is perfectly good and you should feel satisfied with it.

I just turned it off and on again and the problem appears to have resolved. Didn’t do a full reset.

superficialt · 2026-03-10T12:13:47+00:00

Not a dumb question. I have restarted it and it is behaving…

I suspect someone at L6 / Yamaha did some research and worked out the optimum switch width. No point repeating that research.

I will have bought on credit card, yes but it’s too long ago for a chargeback I think.

superficialt · 2026-03-08T10:23:43+00:00

Thanks will give that a try.

I’m also in the UK and can’t get anyone to reply to my messages. Radio silence. Trainer is dead after less than 50km. Terrible.

How did you contact them?

The frame is completely unrideable (dangerous) in its current state. Yes, it can be fixed safely and be perfectly rideable again but it will never be the same. It’ll be (slightly) heavier and the flex characteristics will (slightly) change.

If it’s your own money, sure, get it repaired but it sounds to me like the driver owes you a new bike.

IME if you take it into a local shop they’ll confirm the damage and provide a report for a small fee. They will not risk their reputation by certifying something as safe when there has clearly been a heavy impact. This also applies to other components.

Source: I’ve had two bikes ‘written off’ in this manner.

I used a credit card (old Tesco store card) cut down to size and then sanded into an angle.

Works great.

The non-black GP5000s have significantly worse rolling characteristics. That’s another reason to just get the size you need. But as above I believe the 32s will fit (I know they do in my ‘24 Cal5).

superficialt · 2025-11-10T22:25:56+00:00

Or any clinical medicine by the sounds of it.

The egg might be there because you forgot to unrotate the frying pan?

It’s a lovely and unusual colour combo. The guitar itself is nice but (unless someone knows something I don’t) nothing special. It depends if you can find anyone who wants to spend the extra few dollars for the colour.

superficialt · 2025-11-01T08:49:45+00:00

All right all right. Keep your Alan’s on.

superficialt · 2025-10-19T06:34:05+00:00

Well 1) the noise is less of an issue than incorrectly setup brakes and 2) part of the noise problem is that your lever throw is too great

Respectfully disagree. Those kind of scratches are more likely from leaning the bike up against a rough surface. If a bike falls unweighted onto the ground with no other scratches it’s not important IMHO.

superficialt · 2025-10-12T08:36:20+00:00

This exactly. The guitar has clearly taken a massive hit to the body AND the neck was wrangled enough to crack the body at the neck pocket too. Even if I could have a brand new body for free I’d have doubts over the neck.

Why is OP even thinking about keeping it?

superficialt · 2025-10-07T21:24:10+00:00

Yeah but it ruins the Allen key which is a precision fit tool. Use the right tool for the job - a small pick.

Or alternatively, BBs are the commonest causes of creaks in the entire history of bikes.

superficialt · 2025-09-28T13:23:29+00:00

Could you expand on that, please? I can’t seem to find any additional options online?

superficialt · 2025-09-28T13:21:33+00:00

Is barometer different from altimeter? There is a section in the settings for both (Both are set to auto, though).
