i was in a accident and landed on the Council bit of grass with the car stuck in a tree. was wedged so bad the tow truck had to yank it out for 15min. first thing house owner says to me while im pissing out blood "you cant leave your car there" "your going to have to move ya car" said it to me like 5 times made up 90% of what he said.

Reminds of when a rider got killed some years ago. Car did a turn in front of him, and his R1 bounced off the car, hit the stobie pole (died on impact) and bike ended up in the front yard of a property.

I had to talk to the cop about the incident. Despite the rider being killed, the owner of the property immediately comes out to save his garden (replanting and watering) and demanding the bike be removed immediately. Major crash had to come around and do their investigation first, but this shithead had no heart. Went on and on about it for over an hour.

Selfish k*nts like that really shit me. I ride past there often and rev the guts out of my bike when he's out front. :P

    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
