I don't think you understand how this works. When a job is being filled, there's three stacks resumes go into. There's the first stack, those that are immediately disqualified (grammar or spelling errors, lack of any experience, even if it's just fluff, mentions an unsavory past time, has an email like [email protected]). Then there is the second stack of people that are completely qualified. The third stack is equally similar people, they could be the same, but they have a reference from someone that influences the decision or carries weight with the individual reviewing said documents.

I've got aptitude in several skillsets. I can understand most mechanical and how programs work, I am great at talking to people, and I'm pretty positive outside of 4chodes.

Whether that makes you cry, "not fair he's cheating the game." Is irrelevant. All that matters is if you can communicate and can deliver.

This ad seems shady.

Just had a motorcycle accident, well about an hour ago. Live in Australia and some dickhead from sri lanka who has been driving for 3 months decided to brake right in front of me (wanted to turn right) but did not use a blinker or anything.

Smashed my hand and fucked all the left fairing up, headlights too and mirror.

i was in the same camp for a while, but i took the plunge and test-rode a liter and never looked back. all the people who say it's """""""too much bike for the street"""""""" either don't have the riding ability and/or self control that's required. the upside is that you have power literally whenever you want it, and it turns out that power has surprising utility. it's not just vanity, and on a liter you have it literally everywhere you need it. that's not to say the 750 doesn't also have gobs of power, but it's still not a liter.

Nope, hurts to be wrong doesn't it?

Was going the speed limit, held the bike up, it was his fault. I hit his right blinker which hit my left side and damaged it.

Here in Australia we ride on the left side, hence why i was in the position so he can see me.

>>16651479
the central part of your argument is contingent on an element of trust in other drivers, which you should never be giving. my point is that it doesn't matter if you did everything right if you're involved in an accident. YOU should have done more to prevent that, and that idealistic, naive attitude of "he was wrong, i was right" gets motorcyclists killed.

>>16651483
>>16651485
looks like that distance wasn't quite as safe as you thought it was, because it seems like you hit him.

>>16651450
>backwards day in australia
but they drive on the wrong side of the road every day

>>16651491
actually your country should do more to keep idiots off the road, and idiots are at fault for failing to behave properly in traffic. in no case should any road user have to expect another to be an idiot, because all dangerous and stupid behaviours are strictly illegal and punishable to the fullest extent of the law.

do you also walk around with two revolvers and a belt of bullets because you can't trust other people not to fucking kill you?

>>16651497
Insurance companies and police look towards who caused the accident. Riding along and not following someone at your perfection of a distance does not equal the rider at fault.

It has been already said;
No blinker
Sudden braking (for no reason)

That crazy fault finding scheme sounds like it would be unfair to women and minorities. Why is your country so racist?

>>16651503
no, because my chances of getting murdered as a white male are infinitesimal compared to the much greater risk of daily driving a motorcycle in a major urban center. i agree entirely that we should do more to get people who shouldn't be driving off of the roads, but that doesn't change the fact that they are still going to be on the roads. when you live in a little micro-paradise you don't run into the problems of scale that you do when legislating for a country as enormous as america.
>>16651507
like i said though, fault doesn't matter. if you had been more careful -- even though the accident wasn't explicitly your fault -- you wouldn't have gotten into an accident in the first place.

>>16651507
Post your bike then, to confirm your low effort b8

>>16651517
>fault doesn't matter.

Yes it does, thankfully you aren't in the police force or in the government. You spark me as some guy who thinks he is top of the world and would get himself out of anything.

You'd press a switch on your 125 and fly out of that situation.

>>16651523
i don't know how many other ways i can put this. say you get hit by an 18 wheeler who blew a red light and you didn't look both ways before taking off even though you had a green. in this case, does it matter whose fault it was when you're dead?

>>16651462
>is it going to help you next time when there's an SUV as far up your ass as you must have been up his?

>>16651457
>Following too closely to stop in time
>Not your fault
Makes literally no sense.

>>16651528
Nothing you can say will get you out of the stupidity you have shown.

>fault doesn't matter.

Yes, fault doesn't matter. Lets pull out in front of a motorcycle as he is riding along in a 100km/h zone. In the end we wouldn't be to blame, it's his fault for not knowing of the dangers, he should have also been going a bit slower just to be cautious.

>>16651533
on the contrary, it seems like nothing i say will be able to get through to you.

>>16651443

I'll test drive a liter bike come spring, but honestly part of me just wants those ridiculously high revs and shifting at 16k. I'll figure it out when I ride them I spose.

>>16651528
Does it matter?

Yes, because then the dumb fuck behind the 18 wheeler can go to jail for manslaughter, because he was breaking several laws and the person he killed just didn't look carefully enough for people doing things they shouldn't be doing and should be thoroughly trained to never, ever, ever do on pain of financial ruin and years in the slammer

>>16651536
I'm only someone who thinks you are incredibly stupid. Only in America do rear end laws exist because it's a twisted country.

>>16651447

That's not a superduke!

>>16651536
my mentality as a motorcyclist is not looking for people to cast blame on for being retards. i expect everyone on the road to be an idiot and put the onus on myself not to give them the opportunity to be retards. if i fail to drive defensively enough and i get fucked up, obviously i'm going to do what i can to go after him legally, but i would prefer not to be in that circumstance in the first place. i believe this is the single most effective philosophy in staying alive on a motorcycle.

>>16651547
the irony is that you think i'm stupid because you don't understand what i'm saying.

>>16651550
if everyone thought about solving problems by adapting to the world instead of changing the world to get rid of the problems, then we wouldn't even have a fucking society

>i figure that if i'm nice enough to everyone and don't have a lot of fancy stuff, nobody will ever want to kill me or steal from me
>get your crazy murder/theft laws outta here, it's like you want to be beheaded after bandits take your gold

>>16651555
I understand well, you are just very stupid and cant structure your words properly. Stop trying to sound smart. Not all rear ends are fault of the driver behind.

It's an easy win, not using blinkers to turn? sudden braking? clearly not head-checking?

Interdasting.

>>16651547
like the 3 second rule?
it exists in most 1st world countires, 3 seconds behind any car, 1 second to recognise the car in front is braking, 1 second to start applying brakes, 1 second to lose excess speed as the car in front will already be going slower.

If your country does not have laws that enforce this then your country is run by retards.

>>16651547
The funny thing is the brakes on your bike are probably 10 times better than the brakes on the average car. Even on shit bikes with single piston/single front caliper setups. So not only were you following too closely but you also clearly weren't paying any attention or you would have stopped in time.

Motorcycle brakes are officially "okay", but only for sportbikes. I think the most you can get is a little over 120 feet for a 60-0 on a 600, and it only gets worse with heavier liters (let's pretend things like sport tourers don't exist. because if they ever had to brake, they wouldn't)

>>16651594
when that 18 wheeler comes crashing through the intersection, make sure you tell it that it's in the wrong. i'm sure it not being your fault will matter when they're putting you six feet under.

>>16651615
I'd the the same to you, but first you need a bike.

>>16651565
More like 10 times as many people can brake in a car properly than people who can brake on a bike properly.
like most of bike crashes are people using too much brakes.

you won't always be able to avoid everything no matter how far you hang back and how often you look. sorry, but it's how it is, so good fault laws are essential to get people who actually create danger off the road.

i'm not saying fault doesn't matter in a macro sense. if it actually, really needs to be said, people obviously need to be held accountable for their actions. my only point is in that instant when you find yourself sliding across the ground into a telephone pole or under the wheels of an 18 wheeler, it doesn't matter for shit whose fault it was. you might have done everything right but you're still sliding across the ground about to get fucked up. you might be happy with the idea of resting assured that you followed the laws to the T while your nurse is changing your colostomy bag but i'd personally rather leave fault and expectations of lawfulness out of the equation and take it upon myself to assume the burden of every ounce of accountability i can wring out of the road. keeps me safer that way.

>>16651547
>Only in America do rear end laws exist
Nope

The one hitting someone in the back is 99.9% of the time guilty.
We have the 2 second rule, meaning you have to be 2 seconds behind the person in front of you.
Also stopping in the road for an exit is fine and even during driving/riding lessons the instructor will say don't worry about the people behind you. They have their responsibility to have enough distance.
This dude was stupid enough to follow too closely, giving him not enough time to brake. He's 100% at fault even if that guy didn't use blinkers.

>>16651646
I don't understand how in modern cars, how 60 to zero matters. At this point your braking distance is pretty much up to the amount of grip your tires can geberate

Come on now, that's not true. None of my japanese bikes have snapped below the fuel tank. One did break on the rear subframe though, can't blame it after all the crashing I do

Considering getting a 2006 ninja 250 for $1000 to use as a more efficient college commuter and something to fuck around with. Has only 5000 miles but it has, as the owner puts it, "A slight carb leak". Would that be too difficult or expensive to fix? Doesn't seem like it but I've never messed with carbs before, thought this bike could prove to be a learning experience, but don't want to get in over my head.

>dropping a bike on a wedge from 20+ feet up is something that should be designed into the frames integrity while maintaining a light agile bike.
you know cars get fucked up pretty bad when your jump them or hit stuff with them. clearly theyre made like shit too

i was just dispelling the myth of KTM's being unreliable, they were about a decade ago, now they are one of the most reliable on the market though.
their frames included, it simply is not possible to make a frame out of alloy that is as strong as steel, that is why a ktm will snap triple clamps where a Japanese bike would have snapped below the fuel tank, the triple clamps are also made out of steel you see and steel > alloy as previously stated.

the original discussion was a ktm 500 exc being better than a sxv550 if you want to try stepping in on that one.

>>16651972
so you realise that the alloy frames were less desirable in some areas because theyre too stout?
somehow i doubt ktm is using a steel triple either

>>16651993
All bikes use a steel triple, alloy does not work for a triple clamp because it has no give.

So you really just don't know wtf you're talking about eh?
