Definitely the darkest timeline.

I am usually like this. http://i.imgur.com/89rbC.gif

When you find the troll that did it, don't eat him. That's the best way to lose your vocal chords. Just ask Troy.

That looks more like how I am when I come to a post in /r/motorcycles and just find a daft meme or animated gif instead of anything interesting :)

So meta.

That's actually more like how I am when I come to a thread and someone complains about a basic and harmless form of internet communication, because they themselves have absolutely nothing to contribute other than unnecessary negativity.

[–]HAMPLANET 6 points7 points ago

Are you seriously arguing that a mindless .gif post of the sort you find in all the shitfest default subs is contributing more than someone commenting on it?

Also, for that matter, are you contesting that someone commenting negatively is inherently less valuable than someone commenting positively? Or making a reference to the same show to demonstrate to others that they too watch the show? They all contribute equally little, but you're not deriding those posts.

In summation: fuck off, you're a retard.

I don't have a bike quite yet, very soon though. How often does this happen?

[–]no_shoes_in_house'09 250r, 06 R6 8 points9 points ago

Depends on where you live. In the city more often because of congestion and parallel parking is common.

I've had both of my bikes tipped over just this past year. One instance on a street where I was gone for all 10 minutes grabbing a coffee, the other was in a designated parking spot (bike parked in the middle, ~30 deg angle for max visibility and space hogging.)

At night, avoid areas where bars / clubs are located because of drunk revelers. Don't purposely fit between tight parallel parked cars. Attempt to avoid parking behind high height cars (trucks, jeeps).

Still, you can be as careful as possible, and it can still happen when you're out and about doing errands.

It's enraging especially since I haven't come across anyone who leaves a note, but simply commits a hit and run. I know they know they hit it because they stood the bike back up.

I don't want to say that I've never had this happen, because if I say that, it will happen almost immediately to me....

[–]Banyah 1 point2 points ago

I panic when I walk back to the filled parking lot and forget where I put my bike. Until I find it, it's stolen in my mind.
