My parents got me one to use on motorcycle camping trips a few years ago, and it's so handy. I'm thinking about one of the larger ones to keep at home.

I had to clear the app cache and local storage before it would work. Cache alone didn't work.

/r/snakes was surprisingly active given our fairly niche position in the greater pet community.

One of my friends has truck nuts on his 70's moped, and it gets a laugh out of people wherever he goes.

My 2017 Africa Twin in the Parque Nacional Huascaran in Peru, 2019 Tuono V4 Factory on a random Tennessee back road, and 2012 Daytona 675R in its home environment at NCM Motorsports Park. Pretty big fan of my little collection.

Hello fellow motorcycle fanatics! I wanted to make a plug for /c/trackdays, a community I formed for anyone interested in getting into track riding and/or club racing around the country. The subreddit of the same name has been a great resource, and I'm hoping to build a worthy counterpart for anyone that's migrated over to Lemmy. I've compiled a pretty extensive list of track day organizations, racing schools, and sanctioning bodies for club racing, and I hope it'll make a worthy addition to the motorcycle-focused communities on here!

Not just the front wing, looks like the nose is straighter and maybe a bit lower overall.

So far wefwef has been my favorite. It's a web app and has to be downloaded through Safari or Chrome, but it was made by the developer of Apollo and is very similar the overall experience of using that. Liftoff is a close second.

A gentleman, a scholar, and an all-around good person.

Conde Nast has owned Reddit in some part since at least 2012. They've tended to stay pretty hands off with it though.

That era ended when they fired Victoria.

Is motorcycling inherently more dangerous than driving? Yes. Can much of that danger be mitigated with education, technique, and awareness? Also yes. The single best use of your time in learning to ride would be taking an MSF course; you can learn most of the techniques they teach on your own in a parking lot, but the instruction in mindset and awareness is entirely worth it. I've been riding for 12 years and the lessons taught in my initial class still pop into my mind every time I get on a bike. Hyper-awareness of other drivers and road conditions is the best thing you can learn; I've been in three accidents in my life, two of which were caused by drivers pulling out in front of me, the third due to sand on the road surface that was invisible until I was sliding through it. In each case, proper gear and a full-face helmet saved me from major injuries.

My parents were there yesterday, and sent me the same view! They also got pickpocketed by a group of scammers that were dumping bird shit on people and claiming to try to help them clean off.

I imagine it's going to be a near-vertical spike.
