Had a sleep paralysis episode

Im curious to hear what’s causes this phenomenon, as well as other people’s experiences.

Felt a heavy weight on top of me last night, around 1:30-2:00am. apart from that, felt someone grabbing onto my throat. I thought it was my wife for a second. For context I sometimes sleep with a blanket over me so in theory if it was my wife I wouldn’t be able to see her until I pull the blanket off of me. I tried to speak, my mind was telling me the words to say but the words were not speaking into existence. Terrifying to say the least.

Does sleep paralysis have a paranormal phenomenon behind it? Or is there true scientific research behind it?.

Hit head on with a car on my bike

Was coming home from work, coming down from north valleys to the street that connects into sun valley. I had a green light estimated speed 40 mph. On impact was thrown 25 feet down the street. Vehicle pulled out from the mini mark to my right. Conclusion on the spot, was told I was out for about fifteen minutes. Got consciousness as they carried me into the ambulance.

By the grace of god nothing broken, no serious injuries, I am just in a tremendous amount of pain. Driver was deemed responsible for the collision. Reno do better, drive safer, be considerate for two wheels on the road. I am alive and still in shock that I am after a head on collision of that caliber. I think I’m done riding on two wheels.

Needed somewhere to vent… out of work for who knows how long.. be safe everybody.

I dropped my brand new bike today.

Today I dropped my new 2025 XSR 900. I’ve been riding for five years. I started on a 400cc and have built my way up in regards to skill. It was a slow speed right turn.

Worst parts about it is that I have been putting off buying engine guards since I’ve bought it, now I’m kicking myself in the behind. Need a new right mirror. Thank god I scratched the oem engine covers, could use new foot pegs, scratched my gas tank just a little.

To end my rant I walked away with a shattered ego, I am now questioning where my skill level truly is, & my confidence is a little on the low end. Welp I don’t know where I was going with this, ride safe people.

9th gen si tire size

Title speaks for itself, I have a 9th gen si, lowered.

Currently have some 18 8.5 35+ offset rims

Not sure what the best tire size would be before I’d have to go into rolling the fenders.

I’m stuck between 215/40/18 or 225/40/18

I appreciate any and all advice.

Advice to remove tint

How would I go about taking this tint off. The surface of the tint was removed and it left a whole layer on the window. I sprayed it with ammonia and got a razor blade to see if it would peel in one piece, doesn’t seem that, that will work.

Is this much of a gap normal between the seat, there’s also a lot of wiggle with my taillight.
