The official 'Why?" thread 2016

As in:

WHY DUCATI? Why is every friggen bolt coated in red loctite?

or after tonights effort starting with the above and finishing in:

WHY EVOTECH does your rear peg eliminator/exhaust hanger not fit my bike? (the stock ones are a shit to remove... so imagine my surprise when it did not fit).



So, post your own 'why'

[Laava]

Why Suzuki? Why are you still putting budget ball race bearings in your steering heads?

[nzspokes]

Why Ducati owners? Do you not understand that they need to have locktight on the bolts so bits dont rattle off?

Why motorcycle retailers? Do your sales staff have no idea what they are selling?

[eldog]

Why Suzuki? Why are you still putting budget ball race bearings in your steering heads?

makes you wonder if that happens there then WHY don't they put cheap arse bits everywhere else. Maybe because it doesn't really need precision parts for that job.
It just needs to hold together and not disintegrate on normal use.

Why don't they sell, After market Traction Control kits

Why can't some people spell Loctite correctly?

[eldog]

because they are using the cheap Chinese version

[oldrider]

Why? - it's a word that drives conformists crazy! - Why? - because they like everything tidy and bundled up according to the first explanation that they hear! :done:

Not exclusive to CCC. same out here too. It's in the contract wording - if it doesn't specify relevelling as part of the contract it doesn't get done.
If it's cheaper to leave it out, then whoopdefuck, we can get more road done for the budget money - and the contracts supervisor gets his performance bonus as exceeding expected levels of financial chicanery...

I was wondering about that - if they are contracted to 'resurface' that is all they will do. A road I travel each day has just been resurfaced - familiar old dips still under it and give it a few weeks that part of the new surface will fail and they will be out there cutting a section out to the fresh road, patching it and if true to form the patch will then sink and form a big lip on the tail end ........

Resurfacing out this way has ended up using a mixture of flour and water then pouring some gravel on top. Road that was completely dug up and redone before xmas has just had a new surface covering (so lasted 3 months) and in 2 days there is a couple of smooth tracks where wheels have been. Dangerous on the bike.....

technically more visible, also differentiates from any other vehicle lighting. Blue flashing lights are illegal (reserved for police), green.... Im guessing the visibility thing. green wavelength probably not easily distinguished in driving conditions.

I had to pick something up from a moneyed up, high value area of the city yesterday. A quarter of a mile away, peoples houses and lives are still fucked from the big event of five years ago, the shocks on the bike were being pummeled by what some Afghanis may call a road but is really not much more than a MX track bounded by war torn buildings, yet a right turn into a knob area and it looks like nothing ever happened to disrupt their lives and that council workers come and polish the road daily with a toothbrush and possibly wipe their arse for the residents also.

Bullshit. In the areas concerned, the property values were so bloody high that EQC simply said straight off that they'd be over the cap.
As soon as the insurance companies got involved, that sort of property owner pulled the " I've got all my business and rental properties insured with you - and I'll pull it if you don't give me what i want" card....And as that's how one social strata of Chch has always worked, those properties got fixed first.
On one of my routes into town, I go past a magnificent new all weather surface set of tennis courts...privately owned I believe. As Ellipsis said, not far away, houses still being lived in, buggered.

Rates..,.HA bloody ha...those property owners have lobbied to keep their rates increases lower than average....

But Ellipsis knew this anyway, he was just testing to see what sort of response would come from out of ChCh. After all, the standard response from the NI generally has been "harden up" i know several people here who pray daily for a major quake in Auckland or Wellington. And the PM today saying some problems are to all intents unsolvable doesn't indicate much good intent there...
For a current look at how things are not working, I believe TV3 tonight at 7.00pm will be worth watching.

I saw a red rear indicator today on my ride in. Was on the back of a Mustang or some such wide American car. I guess they have special dispensation for it. Initially I thought it might have been a single blinking brake light but later on saw the shape they use for those.

US manufactured vehicles have had red rear-indicator lights for years... some British cars, particularly Fords, had red rear-indicators around the mid-1950s.

WHY? The new surface northbound from Ellerslie/Penrose is like a bit of a rollercoaster...nice new black tarmac, but the middle lane just sloshes up my latte :baby:

[Kage]

US manufactured vehicles have had red rear-indicator lights for years... some British cars, particularly Fords, had red rear-indicators around the mid-1950s.

Did a bit of "research" (Wikipedia) and discovered there is a UN convention on vehicle lights. Apparently, since the 60s, both front and rear are to be Amber in most countries now but not the US and Canada. US lawmakers believe that amber adds no benefit nor visual improvement on red rear indication. What was crazy is you could still make cars with trafficators (those pop up indicator flags on the sides of the car) until the early 60s.

[Scuba_Steve]

The WOF regulations allow for white or amber indicators at the front and red or amber at the rear.

Why can't they just change it to a sensible "indicators must be amber"?

I've got three cars with red indicators, I see heaps of others too.

Never had thought there could be an issue with them being red. :scratch:

What I DO have an issue with is:
Why do dumb-arse manufacturers that insist in putting the indicater about 50mm from the brake-light and in the same cluster thereby frequently rendering said indicator indistinguishable from the brake-light.

Likewise up front beside the head-light, can't see the indicator in certain circumstances....

I see that VW have perpetuated the "nipple-styel" that Ford had in the 60s...

Agree - saw something the other day that had the front indicator so well hidden it could just be seen if in front of the vehicle - was a wally-trolley, but what sort no idea...

Not sure which is more tedious and painful - the washing of wounds as the bits of gravel and road muck are picked out over a period of time or the following skin grafts...

Remember how a grazed knee hurt... now multiply that over a large section of more delicate skin... :shit:

No, it's because dickheads crash, regardless of what they are wearing.



Personally, I can't lick my balls. Can you?
Are you still at 120A?

[RGVforme]

Why do whinging cunts feel they need to comment in everyone who doesn't wear atgatt?

I ride in jeans and trainers. Almost always. Lick my dick the fucken lit of ya. Often test ride bikes with whatever I wore to work on it, and helmet.

Why will riders who wear ATGATT still have their kneecaps and toes attached after a minor scape or get off?.

Unlike our mate Drew here.

The reality is that most of us posting can't ride for fucken shit. If we were better riders, we would lower the number of injuries far more effectively than what you perceive as appropriate fucken shoes.

Oh yeah, still got all my digits attached. And ya really gotta know where to look before any scars become apparent.

[F5 Dave]

Ahh, so if you're a good enough rider you won't get injured. Thanks for clearing that up.

And if you really rate yourself you don't have to wear more than the law requires.

[Drew]

Ahh, so if you're a good enough rider you won't get injured. Thanks for clearing that up.

I didn't say that. But read into it what you will.

The scars are emotional ones huh? Scurry off to listen to some Staind cds.

[Berries]

Ahh, so if you're a good enough rider you won't get injured.
That's the plan. Might not happen but trying my best to stay upright. On the flipside, if you think that it's inevitable that you are going to crash then you would be better off on four wheels with a cage around you. ATGATT proponents seem to ignore this logical end point when they start banging on about putting in a back protector to go and get the milk.

Everything is a risk, and no `accident` is inevidible, but risk mitigation involves making the risks acceptable to oneself. For some, ego seems to be their shield.

[Banditbandit]

Yeah - exactly. I've walked away (well limped away occassionaly) from somthing like 11 offs .. and I still have everything in place (well ... maybe not my brain .. but who cares about that .. unnecessary weight ... )




The reality is that most of us posting can't ride for fucken shit. If we were better riders, we would lower the number of injuries far more effectively than what you perceive as appropriate fucken shoes.

YES !!! But then how do you account for the expert riders at MotoGP level who fall off ??



And if you really rate yourself you don't have to wear more than the law requires.

I rate myself at least above average - it's the other shitheads (who have taken me out in the past) that I don't rate ... You never know when the shit is going to go down .. so ATGATT and I'm still here, still in one piece .. after more than 40 years riding ..

[oldrider]

Anyone who has yet to experience a serious off, will be surprised at how much their brain can think about and rationalise between the oh-shit and ouch moments! :wait:

There is a lot to process but the time is extraordinarily long and if you live through the next turbulent phase you will appreciate safety gear for what it is really worth!

Why did the nurse with the shaking hands need to keep going with the tweezers until she removed ALL the melted jean material from the road rash?.

So it did not get infected.:sick:

If your this sensitive already you def wont like that experience.

Riding better will never fully remove the threat of the crash being caused by another road user.ATGATT ups the % of safety no matter how you ride....Every extra bit helps

Im hoping not as it may end up with you getting punched in the face...But my moneys on the fact that you would not tell the guy standing in front of you with his pants leg rolled up showing you the skin grafts talking about how long he was in Hospital and ATGATT to go fuck himself.

You got to love the brave that comes with the distance the internet don't you.

[Drew]

..They're going as fast as possible, on the absolute limit. Of course they're gonna expect to come off. They aren't allowed to race without all the gear either.

Brave that comes with a keyboard? Look around. I'll bet $5 and a bag of chips that less than 5% of the times you bleeding heart types have seen someone in less than full gear, you've ever said anything to the person.

I'm not telling anyone to wear less safety gear than they do now. I'm saying the majority of us that ride are shithouse at it. If we were all forced to be trained, the toll would drop even if we all wore jandals and stubbies.

So what does statistics tell us? That most accidents happen within ten minutes of home. So that is precisely when you should ATGATT. Or you can argue with maths.

I've raced plenty of times with full kit and as much body armour as possible in scorching hot days, and you aren't just sitting around like road riding. Was it hot? Yes. Did it affect my performance? Barely noticed at the time and racers will do anything to gain an advantage.

[Woodman]

Not talking about racing, just popping down to the shop.

[Akzle]

So what does statistics tell us? That most accidents happen within ten minutes of home.

because, wherever you go, you usually leave home first.
ergo you statistically spend more time "within 10 minutes of home" than elsewise.....

[Akzle]

also, that statistic applies to cages too....(or, originally?)

so, move away from anyone who keeps a car at home.

[mashman]

You're statistically more likely to have an accident in the home than anywhere else. Get on yer bike... or some such nonsense.

My wet weather gear is Hi Vis (a lot cheaper than black for the same degree of waterproof).

This week I went to the same course, but exterior cladding black leather. As I am taking my gear off I get asked (by the same person) "oh, do you ride a motorbike"? (cue a room full of people noticing for the first time I have arrived in bike gear and carrying a rack bag.)

Why does HI Vis wet gear make Big dog look like a truck driver?..Does he have a protruding trucker like pie belly perhaps :crazy: lol.

I actually rode with a new Hi Vis vest Yesterday Arvo coming back in the dark later on.My First time riding with any type of HI Vis on at all.

I noted a big difference in oncoming traffic reactions to seeing me during the day part of the ride.

In Hawkes bay we tend to be a oncoming vehicle target fixation drifting towards the center line while looking at you bunch of :tugger:!.....90% the time not some of the time or the odd driver.

In a car or on a bike I noticed this bad habit.
Today I seen that the whole seeing me start drifting over then realization "Shit im drifting over" thing was happening further away from me and a lot quicker than past situations.

I wasn't riding like a cock (not when they took me out .. I can't say I didn't ride like a cock .. just not those times ..) was tottling along minding my own business a car failed to give way ... and oncewhen a car tried to run a red light ...(I hit both of them on the side) Lucky I was ATGATT.

I did hit a push bike when I was riding like a cock ... (I was on a Honda Step thru' racing a Honda 100 .. for shits and giggles ...) no damage to me but the pushbike was a write off .. and the rider was shaken .. and dumb .. he tried to run a red light - on a pushbike for God sake ..

ok so everyone likes watermelon. Why does the last half always get wasted?

[RGVforme]

Why... are so many cage drivers so frightened of corners?

If you talking blind corners......My guess is fear from having seen many other cage drivers and motorcyclists alike come around the corner towards them on or over the center line....
If your talking more visual open corners and braking late into or halfway around them then like above both situations point to bad/poor driving or riding

The sad fact is that there is not that many different corner designs used by engineers and they even give us signs telling us about the bad ones so not getting the hang of going around them all is truly stupid.:facepalm:

Most of us like to think we are good road users but reality is far from this so much so tvnz can make a dash cam tv series from it and good luck trying to tell someone this as bad driving/riding is often a sure sign of a bad attitude.:no:

Yeah, that puts it quite nicely, but not quite what I meant - I'm talking about utterly paranoid driving, the kind where any G-load exceeding 0.2 to the side could mean (gasp) a whisper from the tyres, or worse - A SKID!!

Grannie panties in a twist / incontinence diapers filled, again / heart medications reached for with shaking hands.

Here's a nicely graded corner, smooth road surface, sunny day, in a 100 zone. Let's take it at 40 k's an hour. And pull over never, because... well, who cares because. It's just what they do. Autistic fucking driving, no understanding that people might be behind them and might be getting pretty pissed off.

It's not even oldies any more. I'm seeing middle aged women driving like this, and just yesterday I had to slam the brakes on because a woman in her thirties (thereabouts) slowed to 50 for a country bridge.

Fucking sad bastards, and there seem to be more and more of them.

There are a couple of theories. The one I subscribe to most us it down to a safety margin perception. The driver will feel a bit hemmed in on single lanes and sit at a lower speed. Then when the road opens up a bit they feel safe to speed up.

There are probably a few people about who think they have a right to be in front of you, so don't let you pass. But they are surely a minority.

Edit.

I've done the forgotten highway two up on an FZR 750, it's not what I'd call an adventure.

Why do Triumph make a big old tech commuter bike and call it the Speedmaster?

Agreed, seen an Africa twin vid that was quite good. But a gravel road is not dirt. I can do that on me old Bandit.

Why are Adventure bike owners scared of going offroad?

Why don't you get a big adventure bike and come riding with me some time?

[Akzle]

cassey's first sensible post ever??


Christchurch roads have become a bit of an adventure since the earthquakes and the council only has money to repair a percentage of them plus the land has softened under them meaning
a lot of repairs turn to potholes after heavy rain. Christchurch could become the adventure bike capital of NZ.

Why do Harley call their 'little twin' a Sportster when clearly it is not a 'sport' bike.

Because when you advertise for a job that has limited prospects, low wages, high risk and no educational requirements that is more than half of what shows up.
Take out the stoners and you are left with roughly the ethic mix you see behind the counter.

I advertised 2 roles when I was running a convenience store in Auckland.
130 applications later (I had to call in reinforcements from other stores) I hired 3 and the other mangers hired 15 or so.
We got applications from 2 nz citizens.
No surprise then that 16 Indians / Pakistani and others from that region got hired that day?

Both of the NZ citizens came with excellent references, superior educations (and current uni students) were well spoken and presented.
Neither lasted a whole year before getting a job that earned 2 times the money.

Hearing you. My last role was managing a branch of a retail chain and trying to get good people on what I was allowed to pay was a nightmare at times. I actually felt embarrassed when I told them what the hourly rate was. And the beancounters wondered why we had service issues.:brick:

I'm concerned for The Motor Company. Under NZ trading laws they could get done for false advertising if a customer purchased one expecting it to perform like it's title..................

Honda were OK on this with that scooter they produced called the Joker........

Because he was the slowest sperm out of his Dads sack. The other sperms were all racing for the win and high sided spectacularly. This allowed akzle to sneak in for the only win of his miserable life

They're saying - put a quake where they can't ignore it and have to be seen to be doing something to fix people's lives.

I've said from day one that rebuilding the city center - where few now want to work anyway - was the wrong priority. Housing should have come first.
They should have simply fenced off the central city and left it for 2 or 3 years till housing was sorted.

They should have left it the way it was and hired it out to overseas movie companies for War movies and Zombie movies and Post-Apocalyptic movies and Disaster movies etc.

Huuuge opportunity missed.

US manufactured vehicles have had red rear-indicator lights for years... some British cars, particularly Fords, had red rear-indicators around the mid-1950s.

It's because he is a fake gutless twat who is in the mindset that a little red square will hurt more than ram fucking a virgin goat?

I would have to lower my IQ significantly to reach your low level.

But for all the shit, you aren't all that bad Akzle. Generally you troll where trolling is asked for.

no. it was "you're a sooky puss" and it was your assessment of my life as miserable that triggered it.

a shame, because starting out, your post had potential. it just ended with the lack of wit i'd expect from moohard or any other of the old white fuckwits, who seem to think insult is equivalent to wit.

to your credit though, you dont repeat it a thousand times and still jizz yourself about it.

now, dry your eyes. shall we analyse the green reps i gived you?

on second reading it could have been more flippant than i read it. but meh.
