  • Comm System Advice

    Hi guys I just bought an HJC I71 helmet and because its a bit tighter fit then my previous helmet, I wont be able to use my IsoTune earphones anymore. I looked into getting a comm system for this purpose and a guy at my local shop recommended Cardo. Im split between Freecom 2x or going down the integrated route with HJC 21b. Can you recommend any of these or advise against? Thanks

  • Anyone played it? I have it for ps2 but never actually gave it a go. Any good?

  • A contract soldier of the Russian Armed Forces recorded a video about the situation during the attack on Volchansk - out of 100 people, 12 survived.
  • Can anyone from Ukraine confirm whats the situation like? How are you guys holding? Is there any hope for ending this war in favourable result?

  • Think what they are trying to say is why making a serious commitment like this when you can use readily available over the counter solutions like condoms.

    Which I agree with. But I don't condemn anyone here - you do you 😃

  • First Big Bike
  • Went to see it today, took it for a spin around the block and honestly felt amazing. Tip top shape, I tried that 9krpm, only got up to 6krpm but nothing rattled or made noises. The silencer had a little bit of corrosion, but at 1997 old bike, to be expected I guess. I looked everywhere I could, top bottom, and couldn't find any more corrosion if I wanted to. Pegs in perfect shape. Forks showing no rust at all, no leaks as well.

    The guy told he used ACF annualy, even given the fact that the bike was kept in a dry garage, rarely driven and never in rain.

    Picking it up this Tuesday!

  • Thanks buddy

    What you say makes perfect sense. I took a 600 for a test ride today and it really felt like plenty of power.

  • First Big Bike
  • I'm really tempted to go see this one today: https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/honda-cbr-600-f3/1476139290

    It's carburator rather than fuel injector. Should that be a concern? What would look at while viewing the bike?

  • What about this one? 1998 CB500S https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/honda-cb500s/1466287814

    Listing description: Honda CB500s completely rebuilt by a time served motorcycle mechanic of 35 years. Runs beautifully starts first time every time. Has a few upgrades, forks have pre load adjusters and 15w oil. Fender extended on the front mudguard. Nissin front brake caliper and master cylinder from a later model, straight fit. Carbs were cleaned and an in-line fuel filter fitted. Long mot.

  • First Big Bike

    Hi all

    Im happy to report that I recently passed my full motorcycle license. Ive been riding for a good couple of years on my 125 and im itching really hard to buy my first big bike.

    Found this Suzuki Bandit very local to me and I was wondering if maybe somebody could advise.

    Im having second thoughts because its a big engine and because its pretty old.

    I was thinking about trying to get this bike down to 2000

    Thanks in advance

    Can somebody explain the game loop to me?

    Hi all

    I recently picked this game up with three of my pals and we are enjoying the little voyages so far. Looking for the burried treasure, fighting off some skeletons and even some sea warfare (only fougt PVE so far).

    I was just wondering, is this it? There is no weapon/character progression apart from the skins from what I can tell. We have not seen a single player run ship out in the sea (saw some twice in a port) so we are wondering is this just a very repetitive PVE? Can't be since this game is going strong since 2018

    Thanks

    P.S. I play on the High Seas

  • Nice one - heard a lot of good stuff about Mazda 3

    I'm looking for something more sporty performing and more sporty looking though

  • Something like Type R

    Hi all I currently have a Honda Civic 2017 (a regular one) but I always wanted a Type R. Looking at used cars market in my country, they are a bit out of my reach at the moment :D Could you recommend any other Japanese cars, that could scratch that itch but not destroy my wallet? Have to be family friendly too as I expect kids :D Cheers

    Power supply for this little fella
  • So if I already connected it, does it mean it ruined the computer?

    They are selling replacements that are rated 2A:

  • Power supply for this little fella

    Hi all,

    I bought a Sinclair ZX81 on a garage sale some days ago for around 12 USD as a non-tested item as the guy said he had no wires to even try and run it. I have a couple of RF cable kicking about from my Atari 2600 and ZX Spectrum, so I have this basis covered.

    According to the manual LINK it takes 9V 700mA unregulated (I'm not sure what it means) 3.7mm jack power supply. I have a 9V DC 1A jack power supply I bought for the Atari (it's not an original one - a unbranded one) and I tried to use it, but to no success. Manual tuning my TV same as with Spectrum and Atari, and no signal.

    I was wondering if maybe the power supply is not up to spec? I was thinking that maybe 1mA is too much to power it up? But I went online to look for an unbranded ZX81 power supply and they are running 2A so I'm not sure what's going on here.

    Is it busted? Or should I get one of those unbranded power supplies that say they are made for ZX81 to test it?

    Thanks :)

    People who had a quarter-life crisis in their 20's, did you do right to stress?
  • Coming from a person having a quarter-life crisis being just a baw hair from their 30s.

    1. You are still extremely young but don't fixate on this. Telling yourself "I'm still young and have plenty of time to do X or fix the Y" means eventually you will be too old for those things. Unless you will fall ill or there will be some age restricted obstacles, it's not true. You can learn new skills in your 20s as well as your 40s if you are determined enough. Shifting your career? No bother, I know heaps of people that did just that in their uni days as well as ones that are long into their existing career.

    2. Don't worry about this. If you fell behind the pack with your studies, means it wasn't for you. Whether it was the nature of your course, or maybe a uni in general. Going to university is not for everybody, just like doing manual labour is not for everybody. Use this opportunity to ask yourself a question, WHY did you drop out. Is it because you were too lazy? If you had true passion for it, you would find motivation to do it.

    3. No shame in that. I know people that are in their 30s and live with their parents to save money for their first home. Use this opportunity to enjoy your life without certain worries. The time to pay taxes, rent and for your food will come and you will look back fondly on this period of your life :) It would still be a good idea to chip in for utilities and food to your parents if you have means to do so. Will probably make you feel better about living there.

    4. Good. Do mistakes. You learn more from your mistakes than from the things you did right. But the important thing is to analyze WHY you made those mistakes.

    5. Maybe check if there is a career advisor near you/on your campus? They offer free advise based on what interests you. Ask yourself what are things in your life that you are passionate about or what kind of stuff do you enjoy doing. Remember, if you are passionate about something, there is a way to make it into your career. There is a reason why some people that are truly passionate about video games, they go into streaming career, and they are very successful. Me for example, I love playing video games, but I don't see myself doing for a full on career, because I want to keep it as my private hobby, and I lack certain traits to become a successful streamer (English is not my first language, I'm self conscious and I lack certain charisma).

    6. Do it. Only by trying you will learn anything about yourself. Hypothesising will only get you this far.

    That's my advice :)

    Disco Elysium - Switch or Xbox/PS5

    As in the title - its on sale on all consoles at the moment for a very good price and I was wondering what console should I get it on. I like the idea of playing it on the go and I thought as it looks like it should run no difference what console im playing it. But I heard some mixed reviews regarding the performance on Switch.

    What kind of HDD USB converter do I need

    Hi troops, I'm trying to get photos files from my dad's old HDDs. We no longer have access to any old PCs to acutally plug them in, so I was wondering if you could point me to some sort of USB converter that would allow me to grab files from them. My cousin has a PC but it's a newer model with more up to date connection to HDD/SSD. Disks in question:
