Summer is almost here and it's great trail riding season! You find all sorts of weird shit.
There was also a fancy couch. It definitely was a vibe. But hate to see all the litter and dumping 😞

There's no list of all content you can watch, just categories that change each day.
It doesn't remember what you've watched or remember where you were if you closed a video halfway through.
The only way to keep track of videos or series you want to watch is by adding them to your favourites but unless it's a series, you can't remove single videos from your favourites after adding them (in the android app, Roku, and their website).
Thumbnails for most videos don't even load in the Roku app and Android app.
I've never seen a UI so unusable before. Free pirate streaming sites online have more logical UI.
At $9.99 CAD/month, what gives?
Ya that's brown rice falling out. These bags were supposedly designed for sport bikes with upright facing exhausts and apparently are specially lined to be heat resistant and able to sit in front of the exhaust.
Came home from a grocery run to find that my frozen salmon fillets were fully thawed, my sweet potatoes transformed into baked potatoes, my cinnamon sticks became charcoal, and my rice bag melted 🙃
I've done groceries maybe a dozen times with these bags without issue but I guess the bag got a little too close to the exhaust. I spent all day today scraping dried molten plastic off my exhaust pipes and trying to pull rice out of my exhaust baffles (only got 2 grains out 😣).
Hi all I need a sanity check.
Diagnosed ADD as a kid, struggled to pay attention and care in school, was on concerta for a decade. Parents would up my dose if my grades went down and expected me to grow out of ADD once I turned 18.
That didn't happen and my life fell apart and I vowed to never take medication again because I saw it as a conspiracy to sell pills and get people messed up in the head.
After 15 years of emotional dysregulation and crippling anxiety I spoke to a dr and tried an extended release amphetamine yesterday.
My whole world changed. No emotional noise, no background feeling of "I'm a bad person and I don't know why", social anxiety is gone (was able to respond to all my messages and even make a phone call AND talk to a cashier!!!). Was able to do tasks I left behind because the anxiety to start was too bad.
I feel like I can do anything I set my mind to now. My self confidence is up. I don't dread things. I woke up calm. My mind used to be a firehose of thoughts and emotions all at max level. Now it's calm and orderly and logical.
This seems too good to be true. I didn't even know existence could be like this. Is this normal? Is it the honeymoon phase? Is it just because I'm taking an amphetamine? I'm beside myself and life feels like I've got all the cheat codes now. It seems too good to be true.
I’m eating dinner and all of a sudden it really hits me that the riding season is genuinely over for me in the next few weeks.
It’s 0-2 C every morning now and the afternoon it gets up to 9-10. I just got this bike in June. The tires are probably not very good below 6.
How do y’all cope with having to put the bike up for winter? Do you pick up a winter hobby?
I’ve owned 3 Arizer Airs. The original with no screen, and two Air 2s with the OLED screen. All of them have failed after 2-3 years with “Error 5”. I tried fixing them but never got anywhere. I took them apart, cleaned them, shook them around, introduced percussive maintenance, and all other advice I found on forums and the other site.
At this point I’m done with Arizer. This is a design flaw that hasn’t been addressed. I want something that lasts. I loved the simplicity and low maintenance of the Arizer product line. I like removable batteries. Vapour quality was also neat.
What should I replace this with?

https://lemmy.ca/c/SpaghettiOpen linkView original on lemmy.caI go from stop to start in first gear. All is nice. I then shift up and my bike roars. This is because I’m in neutral instead of second gear.
Does anyone else struggle with this? I’m new. Any tips or is it just a matter of getting good?
Bought a new bike in June, been riding it almost everyday (when the weather allows for it) and haven’t had any oopsies with it. I have about 3100km on the odometer.
I pull into my garage and it’s a tight fit between my kayak and my car and I guess the ground was a bit too slippery or maybe I overturned (or both) and next thing I know my bike is tipping to the right and I’m not able to stop it.
I guide it down but it’s 414lbs and I am a small guy most days so it falls on my surron, knocks that over too. Fortunately nothing got super damaged and I was able to quickly turn off the engine and the bike.
My first thought was “I’ve broken the brake lever and my mirror I’m fucked”. Second was “how am I going to lift this when the hot side is down???”
Fortunately and to my surprise, the bike was quite easy to pick up. I’ve never picked up a downed bike ever. My feet slipped a bit as I was pushing but I got it back upright without a struggle.
My mirror seemed to absorb most of the impact and it just unscrewed so I screwed it back into place and readjusted. Test front and back brake and they work fine and no sign of damage.
I don’t even have any scratches. I guess maybe the foot peg also took some force. I’m a lucky dude and I feel very dumb even though it’s a guarantee one drops the bike at least once. Just waiting for the adrenaline to calm down. 😆
I posted a couple days ago https://lemmy.ca/post/48328336 complaining about losing 2-5 psi per day and always having to top up air.
This was because all the tire pressure gauges I was using were utter GARBAGE. It seems this is the norm. Not only are the gauges on air pumps wrong, the air pumps are even wrong about how much air they put out.
This led me to believe I had leaks in my tires. Because every time I test them with the built in gauge, they would show up as random-ass numbers. And when I pumped air into them, it gave me more garbage about how much went in.
I was sure I had pumped too much air into the tires. Turns out they never had enough air to begin with since I received it off the delivery truck. I’ve been riding 2300km a fair bit deflated.
Now to relearn how my bike handles (because for some reason, every time I inflated it the bike handled better 🙄😒). Just noob things.
My bike has held a constant exact pressure for 24h and is finally at recommended psi. Moral of the story, research accurate and calibrated digital tire gauges and don’t trust air compressors either.
I’ve been monitoring it for a few days. I carry a small portable air compressor and the digital gauge on it consistently shows the pressure being around 2-5 psi lower.
It seems the front tire loses air slightly faster than the rear but I can’t confirm that yet.
It seems I have to top up both tires before every ride now. I do around 80-150km per ride and measure inside a my garage before riding.
Should I be concerned? Is this normal? What has been your experience? Put my mind at ease one way or another 🤪 I just want to ride safely.
I’ve done dozens of oil changes on cars as part of an auto shop class I took decades ago in high school so I was familiar with the process, but I hadn’t ever done it on a motorcycle, much less my own.
The oil filter wrench attachment got stuck on the oil filter and I started to freak out but my wife (who has no emotional investment into this motorcycle) quickly googled it and suggested I tap around it with a hammer.
Came off immediately much to my relief! The rest of the oil change went by without incident. Drained all the oil, saw all the tiny metal bits that accumulate in a new engine, made a small oil stain in my garage, tightened everything up (I couldn’t get a torque wrench to fit on the new oil filter so I did my best to estimate tightness).
I was planning on going for a celebratory ride afterwards but it was a big emotional ordeal over whether or not I’d break something so to be safe, I’ll keep the bike cozy in the garage for now. I’ll take it out for a nice long ride tomorrow.
Thankful for my wife who was calm and level headed and didn’t freak out at the first sign of trouble like me. One day I’ll get the confidence to not expect things to blow up if I touch them. I’m just happy I’m good for another few thousand km.
