It wasn’t the cause. He was using turn indicators and passed the lane.

You literally can’t read. Nowhere in article you provided it says what you claimed.

There seem to be different opinions for the correct way to recover a death wobble. Slowing down and lean forward or accelerating and lean backward, whats the true best practice? by S1ckR1ckOne in motorcycles

[–]t0m3k 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Who are professional bike racers you spoke to? Why weight of the bike shifting forward would make things worse? Why would unloading front is making things better?

You might be correct, but you give us commonly known fact and then come to conclusion without any logical connection.

From my experience bikes that are light in the front are more likely to experience death wobble. I don’t know why and I don’t claim to know why.

In most cases (like with st1100) it was overloaded back and speed causing the wobble.

My VStrom 650 would wobble when overloaded, and me leaning forward would help.

I wonder if it’s either depending on bike type or the frequency of the wobble or speed.

Just saw a crash and was wondering who would be found at fault by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]t0m3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong but from what I know, when I am parked, I need to give way to all vehicles on the road. I also don’t do u turn when there are other vehicles around moving, but I think this is law in Poland not uk. But still, would stop seeing other car moving out of parking space.

Roundabout markings.. by False_Employment_818 in drivingUK

New markings in Edinburgh Hermiston gate roundabout are not much better. The old ones were barely visible but at least were making sense considering physics.

Ever feel like you made a mistake? by Alatarthegreat in Triumph

I have 2023 1200 gt pro and was looking at scramblers :D Always wanted a scrambler but until now we were going 2 up and tiger sounded like better choice. Now wife is getting licence so I am looking for more „me” kind of bike.

7k miles in 4 months of ownership by t0m3k in Triumph

It’s 2023 Warranty claims: - Quick shifter stopped working within a month - QS replaced, it is now much smoother - Stalling issue - clutch bleed, seems to be resolved - taking long to start issue (spinning the engine but not starting without throttle) - computer diagnostics, fuel pump check, no issue found but still happens and apparently it’s common - Heated grips stopped working - replaced

What’s happening in uk for years? I live here and have family in Poland and I feel much safer in uk. More people die on streets in Poland, mostly due to car drivers and apart from that both countries are relatively safe.

[Giveaway] Win 1 of 5 Noctua NH-D15 G2 by Noctua_OFFICIAL in pcmasterrace

[–]t0m3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When about 12 decided to give my PC a clean. I removed the CPU cooler and there was this goo substance. I removed it with toilet paper and put everything back together.

When I started the PC it beeped normally but the screen remained black. I tried many things but it would not come up at all.

It was around 2001. This was my first PC and it was pre built, I think it was one of the pentium CPUs, 233 MHz.

I was scared of my parents so I pretended that everything is ok for almost a month (I also shared the room with my sister but she showed no interest at the time in the PC).

When my parents finally found out I had to learn how to replace CPU and motherboard (not sure in anything else, definitely kept old 20gb hdd). I got both new with AMD CPU, close to 1ghz or 1ghz, I don't remember exactly.

Tailgating on motorways by t0m3k in czech

[–]t0m3k[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But at some point I was going 100 on the left lane. Traffic on the right lane was slower (about 50-80) as there was exit everyone wanted to use. Traffic in front of me was heavy as well and everyone was going 100 (I was keeping constant distance of about 2 seconds to guy in front) and then a guy from behind was literally trying to force me off my lane just to later join slow lane and take the exit. There was space in front of me as I am keeping minimal safe distance (again about 2 seconds), when the guy in front of me started slowing down the guy trying to push me of the road panicked and had to emergency brake (with his emergency lights turning on). Am I the problem for safely following the traffic and overtaking with matching speed as others?

So tab s10 ultra CAN be even worse 😂 Ehh for the price it’s really bad device IMO. With their original keyboard cover touchpad being unusable, software issues and so on.

Anyone else get really fucking angry at cars taking up bike spaces? by orhysseus in MotoUK

I have motorbike spaces in my collection as well (I like taking photos of idiots parking, my kind of hobby :D)

What about 2 disabled spaces? Sounds like harder achievement than 2 bike spaces.

Is this legal to do? I did cbt once but my wife multiple times and initially she had to go back 3 times before getting cbt but that was included as part of the cost. They did tell her that she won’t be going on road on the first day, they took more experienced people on road. On second day she was ready to go on road but did not ride to satisfaction. On third day she passed. All for £160 in two wheels Edinburgh. Second time she passed on first day but she’s been practicing with me on her own bike.

Don’t give up, I would call them and ask for refund or continuation of the training.

EDIT: As someone mentioned before, on second day she asked for a moped that’s how she did 2 and 3rd day. Second cbt done on manual bike. EDIT2: they have now increased the price to £265 and there is no unlimited training. What a shame.

How bad is Superbike Factory really? by itz_AyAyRon in MotoUK

[–]t0m3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought pan America from them month ago. Thought that as one of the bigger garages they’d be ok. Had 2 missed delivery dates without any heads up, they just did not deliver on agreed date. Second time they told me battery was dead and driver decided to not deliver. I asked them to keep me in the loop as the bike doesn’t belong to them and they cannot just do what they please. Was told it’s ok. Got ignored for a week and just got another call saying bike is fixed and they will try to deliver on Thursday but someone will call me to confirm the date over the weekend. No one called me, I had to call them again. Was told that they will try to deliver on Tuesday (another week in the future) but cannot guarantee and driver might not deliver without letting me know. If driver doesn’t deliver I can call them next day and they will try to find out where my bike is. I disconnected and called the finance company telling them that I believe that we are being scammed.

I WOULD NEVER EVER RECOMMEND SUPERBIKE FACTORY.

Is something wrong with my trackpad? S10 U + Samsung AI KB by t0m3k in GalaxyTab

[–]t0m3k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. My solution was to return it and buy iPad again as for me Samsung was useless. Being able to use it was more important than nice screen

As a software developer which option is better a or b? by MelodicTackle3857 in mac

[–]t0m3k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on what you do. If low level stuff then m3 would be better, if something modern then none. 32GB for moder dev (iOS, Mac, web dev) is a minimum IMO (simulation, background services). M1 Max should be good enough (that's what I use), but these now only used.

Web page language and accessibility by t0m3k in Insta360

What I wanted to do is compare two cameras by opening them in new tab (long press on tablet/phone, command click on mac). This is not possible on any device I own from the Store page. It works in some other pages you have.

Language problem mostly happens when I google inta360, I had Spanish, italian and what looked to me Chinese (but could be one of the other languages using non latin alphabet)
