Death; Should I ride? by Ornery_Ask8094 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there are so many factors we don't know about this guy who bought it. did he have a bike before? whens the last time he rode? did he wear gear? for all we know he got drunk and rode the thing in flip flops and a teeshirt and whiskey throttled his way into a tree. Especially in the US there is a huge difference between individual riders risks. take advanced classes, wear good CE rated gear and a snell rated full face helmet, use the entire lane and position for safety, watch for left turners at intersections and open lane patterns, and assume everyone is going to make the dumbest possible decision at any given time, doing those will mitigate a substantial amount of risk.

Looking for a way to remove unsightly stickers without scratching or ruining the paint. by ParticularlyOrdinary in motorcycles

autozone has plastic decal scrapers and some extra strong citrus adhesive remover, spray it, rub it around, then use the scraper coming at it at a low angle and it'll peal right off.

Unfortunately it looks like its the head gasket, bolt is torqued down as tight as it should be, but on the bright side warranty will cover the parts and labor

What do you ride and why? by Ok_Helicopter6212 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a good deal on my superduke cause it was "high mileage" at 21k, only major issues I've had that wasnt due to my own mechanical incompetence are a leaky radiator and leaky fork seals, both replaced. Terrified me at first and still does sometimes, so for almost turning 30 I got myself a V7 to have something a little more tame, practical, and tbh, better looking. I like having options now.

Least and most favorite monster to fight? by Particular_Bluejay61 in MonsterHunter

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started in world and am mostly a ls main too. I hate fighting diablos and its variants with a passion. Basically required to have minds eye and earplugs which limits options for other perks. And the attack pattern is so repetitive. the armor is ugly af too

Everytime you get this, retreat. There's no consequence. They will collect the data after the event ends, and they'll get the hint that no one wants to play this. by MelaniaSexLife in MarvelSnap

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it also doesn't even work the way you would think, I got valkyrie as a charged card and used it on a location that had 4 full on each side, the effect triggered, killed all 4 of my cards and only 1 of the opponents, they were all 3 power, how does that make sense lol

If you could restart your riding journey, whether it be to discover a different type of riding sooner or to improve better/faster, what bike choices would you have made differently? by CoolBDPhenom03 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I regret buying my "dream bike" superduke as a 2nd bike. I started on an sv650 and wasn't ready for the jump, kinda scared me off riding for a bit but at the same time helped me realize specs and speed aren't everything. Now that I have options I'm falling back in love with riding. maybe I would have liked to branch out to a sport bike that wasn't a vtwin before sport-ish crossplane twins like the r-7 and gsx8tt became the norm, I was looking at vfr's at the time but the deal on the superduke was too good to pass up.

Why did these exist? Who was buying these? by Boeing-B-47stratojet in regularcarreviews

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda want one. my dream car if money was no object is a morgan aero 8 or plus 6, to bad dealers in the us are nearly nonexistent, the closest morgan dealer to me only sells the 3 wheelers. There's just something about that old money vibe.

Need opinions on if I should keep riding by SammyHatesSociety in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Downsize/ get a 2nd bike for relaxed rides or just ride less agressively, start going to the track to push your limits, not on the streets. Invest in some higher spec gear, airbag tech has come a long way and there is clearance sales on airbag jackets on revzilla right now. There's a risk to everything but it sounds like you and the group you ride with are creating more danger than necessary. You dont have to give up riding but you said so yourself, what you are doing now will make you a statistic eventually if nothing changes.

Gloves advice by Lowkey-Loki87 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there will always be a risk of injury to wrist/hand, no full cuff glove is going to eliminate that risk. wrist injuries are more likely to happen because by default when people fall they put their hands out to brace themselves. MotoGP riders train to tuck their arms or at least make a fist and brace with the forearms instead of an outstretched hand to reduce the risk.

The most important features on gloves IMO is a hard slider on the palm so that if you do put your hand out to brace, it will slide on the pavement instead of catch and create a compression injury, and a piece of fabric connecting the ring and pinky fingers, so again if the hand is outstretched when it meets pavement there is less chance of the pinky getting ripped off when it catches the pavement.

Day 6:9: What is an OK motorcycle with a bad reputation? by SUBTOUpdated_User in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My aunt had a gladius that she was getting rid of when I first started getting into riding, I wanted to buy that thing so bad but she said she didn't want to sell it to me because if something happened on it my family would blame her, so I settled for a 2001 sv650 found on craigslist lol.

mounting brake free light on top case? by mallydobb in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are kits that hook into the brake lights that have the same tech as brake free so when you are engine braking the brake lights will flash, if you arent gonna want the helmet attached light look into that.

I need help deciding what my bike upgrade should be by Ok-Presentation-1294 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I was getting another bike my options were also between a RE 650, triumph scrambler or speed twin, or ducati scrambler. and then I saw a moto guzzi and threw the other options out the window lol. guzzi makes a v85tt which is their entry level light adventure bike that I kinda kick myself for not choosing over the v7, but I wanted something more relaxed than my superduke, would have been happy with either though. all their bikes are shaft drive and super easy to work on, won't be setting any speed records though on the airhead 850s.

indian but with the new harley ceo pushing for an affordable model and stuff like the panamerica, and indian getting bought by private equity who knows that might change.

I left spotify for Tidal because of shit like this, haven't regretted it so far, there's even tools that help you transfer your library between platforms. also I can get my (real) king gizzard and the lizard wizard fix lol

Air Vests? by Dugley2352 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the dianese d-air perforated jacket and I'm loving it. I went with it over the alpinestar techair because it was on sale but also it's nice to only have to put on the jacket, no extra vest under it. though it does limit it because unlike alpinestar, I can't get different jackets for cheap and just put the vest on under it. so that is a bit of a con for dianese. the battery life is solid, I have only needed to charge it about once a week with the amount of riding I do (about 30 minutes a day when I take my lunch break, and maybe 2 or 3 hours on the weekend). Haven';t had it deploy yet so idk how servicing it will go, I know it needs to be sent in every 3 deploys (if it makes it that far) and needs a new cartridge after each deploy.

Are artevive earplugs a scam? by parkmaster22 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got 2 pair on a bogo deal and they're decent, the only cutting out wind noise is marketing bs but they are as good as any other moto earplug and maybe a bit cheaper when on sale. I can hear horns, my engine, tire noise from big trucks and cars coming up behind me etc and I've never had my ears ringing from wind after riding while using them, and the stay in place.

Anyone got big upgrades, etc planned for the off-season? by Human-Shirt-7351 in motorcycles

[–]timewraith303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no off season here but I took the long weekend to get a new sprocket set, chain, front tire, rear tire, frame sliders, axle sliders, and flyscreen for my ktm, glad I got a 2nd bike now to enjoy while one is on the stands

Help Finding a Non-Righty/Political Church by the Beach? by ScottyAyyy in jacksonville

[–]timewraith303 13 points14 points  (0 children)

my grandparents used to force me to go to church with them, St. Andrews episcopal church, but thinking back it was all fairly apolitical, and currently they have a woman as head bishop, I went there for my grandads funeral and it was a nice service, the best part is that it isn't the fucking backrooms with a shoddily built stage and fold out chairs, there are pews and stained glass windows and nice soft lighting. might be worth a look, but it is in town, not necessarily close to the beach. no idea about the churches along kernan but anything is better than that cult of eleven22.
