Dangers of installing HippoHands 20.05

[Winston001]

As some of you know I recently upgraded to a new mainframe, Ducati /ST4 20.01. It runs somewhat exotic hardware such as DESMO-CAM but the processor speed is blindingly fast. So much so that I'm thinking of adding further hardware like Microwave Link Detector to avoid other conflicts with government mainframes - and to detect Spyware.....

Anyway, I recently went to the Cold Duck Rally and a fine time was had by all. There was an element of trepidation involved because I'd only run the machine for a hour at a time previously so wasn't sure about its stability on a long run. Or rather my stability as the operator....

So, given the cool weather I migrated HippoHands/AllWeather 20.05 from it's previous installation on BMW 19.85 (where it worked brilliantly) to Ducati. Adding the hardware was simple and initially the correct drivers seemed to be installed.

However - and this is the point - I hadn't factored in the new mainframe's profile. It has a sufficently different operating system to the BMW that HippoHands was required to deal with far greater air pressure.

So when running the processor at 140kph, performance became variable and unpredictable. Sometimes responsive, others as if a virus was hogging the cache. It was at some point in the McKenzie Country that I discovered HippoHands has a previously unknown extension - AutoBraking!!

While clever, this addon is completely unwanted but cannot be uninstalled. Apparently it is a safety feature which responds to air pressure and automatically activates the front brake lever above 110kph in increments until forward motion is halted.

So any geeks out there - what do you suggest?? :D

Remove the brake lever :)

Go watch Back to the Future.............all three. Gota be a solution in there somewhere.:niceone:

Thats probably it....the Flux Capacitor just needs balancing.

[Winston001]

Yeah?? Thats a novel thought, worth a try....

Actually it occurred to me that maybe HippoHands has Law-Abiding Rider also written in but unfortunately the operator doesn't.....:laugh:

Any good Duc hacker should be able to bypass that for ya...

[vifferman]

Run a strip of flat aluminium bar inside the HippoHands from the bar-end to the switch block bracket?

This is a tough one. Did you try restarting? Just as well you didn't get any fatal errors, or any major system crashes.

You might want to try adding small spring 4.2 - it's hard to download, perhaps you can google for a licence?, but it's not expensive at any rate. I'm surprised that you would go from the safety of the BMW OS; Ducati, like any MS OS, can be problematic, and can sometimes cause problems depending on the hardware installed - especially pillion 6.4 (assuming that it's the wife plug in, and not hot chick 6.9).

If you decide you need more performance, and you would like to really improve throughput, try downloading GSXR vk6 or higher.

Kind regards, techsup.

:killingme:killingme . bless, I don't have the faintest idea what this is about and I don't care,it's funny.

What the heck are hippo hands anyway.:lol::drinkup:

Also very funny :lol: but I'm still none the wiser.It's some sorta kiwi code to confuse the poms eh. Yees.

I fitted some razor back elephant trousers to my sub division the other day,it's nearly airtight but nassa don't like it!

Crazier than a box o frogs on crack you lot. Funny though. :lol:

[Patar]

wait.. wat?

[megageoff76]

elephant trousers

i know what elephant undies are, but wtf?

im with you martybabe. Sounds like he cant make up his mind if he want to go for a ride or play on kiwi biker so just straped the computer to the tank.:2thumbsup

hippohands hippohands only used by a softyman
Softyman softyman crashed his ducati using hippohands



That's as good as my poetry gets unless you count the ones that rhyme with duck.......

OH Handle bar muffs, why didn't ya say. :apint:

[Pedrostt500]

So how do you have a good Wank with Hippo Hands, and do Hippos have Hands, and has any one told the Hippos, dont tell the Greenies about the Hippos with hands, cause they will want a hand job to from the Hippos with hands, So I think we keep this whole thing under wraps till we can all go thake some Hallucinogenic drugs, then the answer will be clear to us.

[AllanB]

Ah lets all do a google image search for 'muff' eh......:gob:

Thanks "Tech" and I'm glad HippoHands 20.05 has been clarified for the bewildered.

The Ducati/ST4 mainframe is actually running Unix (not Microsoft) but in Italian which causes read errors. Fortunately due to the superb operating skill of the technician, the system has not crashed - so far. Rebooting certainly works but once the BIAS on the tyres is run up to speed, AutoBraking kicks in again.

Actually I like Viffermans suggestion - install Comalco(TM) extruded case-mod - would I have to heat it to bend, or should this be outsourced to Engineer 9.9.9.0/1? I'd intended to use Cyclone No 8 extruded steel but that was a belt and braces remedy.

As for Spring 4.2, that would place extra stress on the operator although.....might just work.

Some people already run HandleGrip Protectors 5.2 on Asian sourced machines which are an easy solution but these are made of.......plastic...:girlfight: Hardly the answer for a Ducati.

Unix huh? Hmm. This can cause problems, you might find you get a lot of 404's when looking for gremlins, and be warned that Italian LAN's might have more reliabilty issues as you will be bandwith limited with such a lot of overhead (have you ever read a sentence in Italian?). Have you considered an open source solution such as freebeer 2.2.4? This might make you spend more time comtemplating the simplicity while sitting on your couch looking at it. Of course, this won't work with Wife 6.4, they tend to have contention issues when Ducatis are parked in the lounge. This seems to work just fine with OneNightStand 9.4.1, and Hotchick 6.9 - they will often allow their expansion slots or even their USB ports to be used on the bike when it's not in public.

Another thought, with the opensource app Wheelstand v4 loaded, you won't have the contention between your bios and the AutoBraking application. Finally, there is a virus called Stoppie that seems to be doing the rounds, this might not be a problem with your AutoBraking, but HippoHands needs to be used sparingly just in case. Stoppie results in Insurance Claim patches being required, along with long explanations to Wife 6.4 to explain what you were doing on that particular URL. My advice is to delete your browsing history, and ensure that your temp drive is cleaned regularly.

Kind regards,

Bloody computer GEEKS!!!
Can we get back to bikes please????:whistle:

I'm laughing too hard to reply!! :mobile: :niceone:

Actually I did install HotChick 6.9 at the Cold Duck and all problems disappeared......

I think you're confused with muff divers.
