I'm a little ok with this, a couple walked in to the supermarket and she had a Beretta in her shoulder holster, outside of her nice dress. Sure it was kinda sexy but...

I was glad she and her wife were ready to protect each other or others, but I really don't like losing the element of surprise and the possibility the gun can then be used against the owners if things go poorly.

If you're carrying, get the drop on dumbasses trying to fuck your day up.

I use it because on my bike I need to set the correct minimum RPM after cleaning my carbs. Also sometimes I want to go faster than I should in 6th, a quick glance at the tach tells me how much headroom before redline I've got.

Nah man, if you see your tach wobble, you know you've got a carb jet issue, or dirty injectors.

No, I'm building a replacement unified speedo/tach for my motorcycle, the tach is huge and analog, speed is digital in the middle.

Don't they sell add-on projector Huds which snake a wire down to OBD-ii port?

Lmao, high beams, no seatbelt at 108kph for a 30kph speed limit. Ooof.

Cry about it and reflect on it, bitch.

I do that for my bicycle 😁

Dude that's serious as fuck, wow. How did your wind up stopping, parking brake? I've been worried about this ever since parking brakes became electric vs the older cable types.

[–] RubberElectrons 1 points 1 day ago

Totally reasonable guess, at this point.

Anyone have input here?

I'm trying to decide which I like, yammie noob had a cool vid comparing the two with the xsr seemingly on top, but spec-wise, the z900 should be wild. I'm aware there are tune and exhaust kits to wake the undertuned z900 up.

I like spirited riding, but mostly on straights as I roar off to a campsite in the mountains. What do you folks think?

Google Pay alternative?

Hey there, I'm looking for an alternative to Google pay that'll allow me to use NFC payments etc. Thoughts?

I don't have a Google account, nor am I interested in opening one.

E: Just to clarify, the payment part would be convenient, more annoying is how I don't get to use a single place for my subway/gym/ticketmaster passes.

 

What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode.

NBD, but what the fuck?
