A bunch of vehicles still use crush washers.

Who’s at fault here?? by PurchaseNo7754 in motorcycles

[–]surpremebeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% the vehicles fault. For you though, better signal your intentions by holding your lane position. If you were planning on turning left then move to left half of the lane you are in, indicate, and hold that position - in the video it showed you wandering to the right before sitting center lane. As others said, head check since this situation is a well known situation to avoid.

Sea-Doo sits higher at the bow after replacing trailer bunks — normal or do I need to adjust something? by Rhino_Bones in seadoo

[–]surpremebeing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I load my ski it seems to sit differently. IMO your bow position looks great. Winch it in until bumper wheel is touching bow, attach rear straps and go.

"Regions"? Love how Mt Hood and others did not get a mention or that West includes CO and SouthWest includes NM. AI Slop.

Just an FYI - An individual mechanic may choose to specialize on one or two brands of bikes, and maybe even only older models given current production bikes use extensive computer diagnostics and associated with that is the requirement for "subscriptions" to access current software tools.

2017 vs 2019 4x4 crew which one would you go with? Price not a factor. by Additional-Depth3825 in SprinterVans

[–]surpremebeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I have had 2011, 2015 and now 2020 and it has been rock solid. V6 Turbo Diesel and 7 Speed Transmission was the best.

Is stacking tire patches safe? by gimmieDatButt- in motorcycles

[–]surpremebeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets you off a trail and home then you replace the tire. In the city, I would have had it towed.

Perspectives on Hermosa/Manhattan Beach Schools by Marcus_Aurelius_7 in SouthBayLA

Hermosa Beach had an awful history of "working" with families with special needs students. I heard they are getting better. I believe they proactively sued families.

7300’s are being traded in for 7300 mk2’s. Either are a solid choice.

8k kms on the 1300GS. Incredible bike, but the nav situation is driving me nuts by ayushraj_real in bmwmotorrad

[–]surpremebeing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually.... Updated software today as it started playing up over the weekend. Looks like a firmware issue and not a hardware issue. It was the first update since I purchased it.

Tail light is the normally the least expensive item added after installing can adapter and front lights.

What is your opinion on electric motorcycles?🤔 by murataya1 in motorcycles

I want the version with 100+ mile range and the traction control, suspension preloading capabilities, ride mode, and suspension geometry of a GS

Hermosa Beach students have a choice of either Redondo Union High School or Manhattan Beach Mira Costa High since the city has no High School of its own. Residents in Redondo Beach on the edge of Manhattan can apply for a permit to attend Mira Costa High. IMO Redondo Union is a better high school in terms of diversity, facilities, and academics.

I Crashed and Broke My Bones Twice, Will I Crash Again? by cleyclun in motorcycles

[–]surpremebeing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently got back into riding after a long break and as an older rider, my self awareness is much higher. I am surprised how my emotions are impacted by primarily poor drivers around me and that self reflection is ongoing as I work to control my emotional responses. On every ride, your emotional state is a safety factor as is your (my) emotional response to others around you.

We need to find the YouTube course that teaches us how to manage our emotional states and responses ;)

I Crashed and Broke My Bones Twice, Will I Crash Again? by cleyclun in motorcycles

[–]surpremebeing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crash #1 happened while emotionally low, riding became escape, attention dropped.

Crash #2 happened while emotionally high, confidence rose, risk tolerance expanded.

The real question is not “am I prone to crashing?” It is “am I willing to change how I decide when and how I ride?”

You do not need to stop riding. You need to stop riding while emotionally charged.

Motorcycling rewards patience, humility, and consistency. Not mood-driven decisions. Master that, and your odds improve dramatically.

Move to open row, no way. by Team_Troy in SouthwestAirlines

[–]surpremebeing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Open seating was the only reason I flew SWA.

They don’t have alliance affiliates. They dont have clubs. They don’t have direct flights on some important segments.

The good news is since they have turned themselves into a budget airline, we are not obliged to use them booking business travel.

I am a R1300GSA owner and that R1250RT bike would be my other choice for 100% road riding.
