Had my first ever lowside on trackday wearing my revitti pantalona. Some of the stitches on the top lining came out unfortunately. My question is, would it make sense to bring them to some leather worker to fix it? Or do I just wear them and tear until they are done?
Also to some of you more experienced folks, how far are the from tearing completely?
My clutch cable for 2019 honda cb500x just started breaking. I can't find any OG replacement that wouldn't take 2+ weeks to ship, and I have a longer trip planned in a couple of days.. not sure if clutch cables are rather universal or do I need to find some specific ones? Should motorcycle workshops have one available? Sorry for dumb questions but it's first time I'm having problem with clutch cable and searching for quick help since I need to get it done as fast as possible
I'd really love to be not blinded by my phone in the middle of the night when I'm searching for something and suddenly a white ass screen appears for split second. Any way to disable it or at least make it dark? It's really not necessary
Seems like my left grip on handlebar started engaging in circular motion when applying firm force. This is not optimal as far as my knowledge goes. Can you guys share your ways of dealing with such impediment?
I'm kind of thinking of going the psychology route now at 29. I have an office job in IT which I have zero passion for, but was always interested in psychology. I really lack something in life that I could be devoted to, and gaining knowledge that I could later use in order to help others sounds great. Obviously had a fair share of trauma and bad experiences myself as well so it's only amplifying that need.
I'm wondering if any INFJs actually found fulfillment as psychologists or therapist? I get INFJs are very good at reading other people, but wouldn't it be too daunting to be doing it every day? Anyone here actually chose this path and can share their experience?
It seems this season my cb500x is using more gas than it used to. It used to be ~3.4l/100km, now it's about 4l/100km. I'm not sure what could be causing it. I've used fuel injection cleaner a couple hundred km ago but it didn't help. Valve clearance was done about 15000km ago, together with spark plug change. Air filter is fresh and clean.
My Honda currently has about 42000 km on the counter. I maintain it as the manual says, with oil changes every 6-8k km. Only thing I've had to change out of ordinary maintenance is cam chain tensioner which started making weird sounds early this season.
Do you guys have any other thoughts what could be causing it? Since I'm out of ideas 🫤
I rode some pit bikes last week, after meeting the tarmac a couple of times I've noticed there's small tear above where the boot guard ends. Not sure if this is anything to be worried about or just superficial tear? Cheers

I've got a nice office chair about 2 months ago. Lately, I've noticed that it started 'wobbling' a bit in every direction, when my back is not fully rested on the seat. I've noticed that at my work, almost every chair has this issue as well. I'm not sure if it's something that I should cover with warranty? I'd say it's a bit annoying, but I suppose it will happen again sooner or later even if I get it fixed? I've done some research, and saw that even some Herman Miller chairs get the same issue. I'm a bit surprised, since before I've had a very simple chair that I couldn't even regulate the seat tilt. I've had it for a couple of years and it didn't have that issue.
After about 3 years and a couple of "adventures", seems the stitches on two fingers of my rev'it gloves gave up. Is there any way to save it or new gloves are the only option? Cheers!
So I'm automation tester with about 5 years of experience, a couple of months ago I've started applying to other companies for position of automation tester, due to changing politics in my current company and overall unsatisfaction with my position. In that time I've had 5-6 technical interviews. And holy shit am I bad at it.
I was kind of expecting that I'd need to upskill, but I didn't recognize of how much I don't know. I usually do fine with the testing related questions, but things related to programming languages, principles, CI/CD, or even frameworks which I used, which is mostly Playwright and Selenium, these questions I fail on a lot of the times. Not mentioning the leetcode type exercises which are stressing as hell, I get some of them right, but still need a lot of practice.
Anyone got that same "clash with reality" after you started interviewing for new companies? Not gonna lie sometimes after these interviews I just feel like I don't know shit about automation lol
So I'm pretty new to track riding, last time I was on the track my instructor told me that you're supposed to actually lean your upper body IN the corner, not before it? It kinda shattered my whole worldview, I always thought that you position your whole body before significantly leaning the bike in. Can someone please explain to me the logic and point of doing it that way, also when exactly should I lean in my upper body?
Just asking since when going through leaderboards on tracktitan for brands hatch, I've noticed that cars in ACC usually have 2-3 seconds faster lap times than the ones in AC. E.g. ACC for BMW M4 GT3 2022 best time is 1:21.812, in AC best time for BMW Z4 GT3 is 1:24.091. Any reason for that or just less people record laps in AC?
