afaik obasan are a type of rider who cuts erratically n shit... kinda like the hoons of the pedalling community in japan.

haha, best go at an "I know japanese but I don't know this word so I'll have a stab" translation. I thought you were a nihon-go student funkeh.

I hope you don't tell japanese people your gammy is oji-san... they may think it strange.

actually i thought obasan meant aunt or something, not grandma, but in the context of a bike rider it was the type of people who cut across you with no warning? Kinda like the "you drive like an old woman" thing in english.

meh I'm probably wrong, japanese doesn't seem to be my forte.

nah, people refer to their aunts as oba-san too...

apparantly im an 親父 ...an old man of sorts...!!! PEH! all that and i havent even hit 30/....

actually once you hit 30 you can categorically consider yourself an old man...

i keep telling my kids..IM NOT OYAJI!! im still 29 dammit!!

well, if you want to be picky

obaa-san (with the long a) is grandmother (or any random old lady)

oba-san (short a) is aunty (also used to refer to friends parents etc)

oyaji adam .... hahahaha

I'm quite famous for my oyaji gyaggu (old man jokes)

oh and yeah, I always called it a 'mama chari' as well dodgybrooks.... maybe that was just Kyushuu though?!?

I live in Kanto, so it's probably not just a local thing.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
