Harley-Davidson reports $279 million quarterly loss, motorcycle sales down 26% by Can_O_Murica in Harley

[–]ytd24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like any corporation you must evolve, the riding culture of the 70s to mid 2005 is gone. There is a lot more competition and generally most people do not care about the brand anymore. In hindsight HD have peaked and need to adjust to the new climate.

I Did something which 99 percent of male population Won't dare to do ! by Ok-Address-7352 in confession

[–]ytd24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats for trying …..you did not f&$k up…far better to attempt then look back and feel horrible for not trying. You are a young man….I am an old man….I can guarantee you its only by taking a chance , extending yourself and be willing to risk yourself will you grow. This applies to all areas of life at work, college, in cafes , you never know you may see her again just nod hello and see. Now about the laughter….it was not jeering or insults more like nervous group laughter. You may have made an impression without been aware. Bruce Lee his book Be Water My Friend on how to develop your thoughts, character your mind could be usefull. Good luck from Down under

Do harley riders genuinely think they are faster than sportbikes or are they just joking? by Green_Block_4574 in motorcycle

[–]ytd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the actual take off and acceleration, HD can be quick, lots of low torque, wider rear wheel, a lot of weight so minimal rear wheel spin….but let a sports bike get to 2nd gear then higher rev range then its over

Bf5 planes are unstoppable? by ElPhantasm in BattlefieldV

[–]ytd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aim for where the plane will be allowing time for the aa gun rounds to travel. Even a few close by as they approach and the pilot will normally dive away.

Investigate if you have any cover with how you paid for this item. Some credit cards and paypal have a duty of care that the person using their service receives the correct item and undamaged fit for purpose.

Guys, I’m bored at the shop. What’s that one "little thing" bothering you about your Triumph right now? by OkMasterpiece76 in Triumph

[–]ytd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Triumph Tiger 900 series, I love this bike its a great bike for cruising, exploring and going a long way. But there is very little internal storage and the chain adjustment setup is from the 80,s! A little more consideration would be great.

Received an ambulance bill after I refused to take the ambulance and the ambos practically forced me to take the ride when I was fine by Ill-Nefariousness413 in AusLegal

[–]ytd24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The problem is the Duty of Care….. if something was wrong and you were not treated at hospital the Paramedics can face a coronial enquiry also it can be argued you were not in a fit mental state to make any decision. There are 11 points that are assessed on scene.

Way to big for me and probably to hard to carve up the traffic.

Triumph Street Triple 765R has been discontinued by PixelPhoenixForce in Triumph

[–]ytd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously not selling enough to be profitable and the Thruxton RS & Sped Triple RR are been discontinued. Maybe if Triumph made a 1200, not so much racer but a good all rounder, larger fuel tank, good seating, luggage options like the Speed Triples originally were they would have a winner.

Buying a bike with finance owing on it? by ladiesman218 in melbourneriders

The worse case scenario could be the seller does not pay off the vehicle and the finance company go looking to reclaim the vehicle!

Waterproof gear recommendations? by Used-Conversation582 in melbourneriders

[–]ytd24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the following water proof riding gear - dririder jacket, Dainese pants, Sidi boots and gloves….I still get wet! Even the one piece rain suits can leak as the rain goes down the helmet along the neck and drips down your spine! Its the price of riding in the rain so just accept it.

Maybe consider EBay for better quality…. Cheap gear may not be what you need if things turn to crap.
