Popular Post nute Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 @Smoother, yep, been on holiday quite a bit recently. Italy next month I think. Apart from whale sharks saw giant manta's, assorted other sharks but no hammerheads which i really wanted to see, turtles, a million fish and a few very cool oddities such as mantis shrimps. If you like diving I can recommend a live aboard, beats shore diving from a resort any day. We did have total novices with us but the current was, even by the standards of our dive guide, "very strong" in a couple of places. It was hand over hand crawling and then hook on to watch the sharks. I did get a good vid of octopus mating which was very unusual and pretty cool. Not sure if the mods allow octopus porn on this site tho ... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great video! I liked the part where the whale shark almost surfaced, and let huge amounts of water fall into it's mouth, I suppose it was rinsing it's mouth. Not to mention the rest of the video. Was there a shark in that video? ? All I saw was a blonde.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2018 Some impressions from today's ride. Nice weather - clear sky, sunny and warm up to 15°C, just a little windy, but nice views! 68km (says the wheel) / 60km (says the GPS), and battery from 100% down to 11% Here's the route, it starts at the right. Read the circular part clockwise. Bike paths along a river pretty much all the way to where I turned around, then a little detour north along some hills, and then back to and along the river. View from the hill where I turned around (all photos are from the way back). Hard to see with the shitty phone camera, but very nice views of the snowy mountains. Deer in an enclosure. A bee got into my collar while riding and stung me (guess it didn't get out due to the wind and got desperate). Quick diagnosis photo I made, as I was worried the entire bee would still be attached. You can see the leftover stinger. Nice views on the way back along the hillsides. Tiny, scenic village. Horse farm with horse bust Purple spring flowers. Fantastic colors, wish my phone made better pictures, looks much nicer in reality. Pond with a view. More mountain views. Weihenlinden church (just some random church along the way, but nice ensemble). More mountain views. Back at the river. Mainly photographed this for the colors. The sign and memorial cross tells us not to swim here, as some 14 year old boy died here in 2016. Spring! New housing along the river. River path. 16 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasenutty Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 What does the red slash through the road sign mean? I see those on Euro Truck Simulator and I just say "Hmm that's weird" but I'm sure it means something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see those on Euro Truck Simulator and I just say "Hmm that's weird" but I'm sure it means something Slashed sign = cancelled sign, which implies there has been an identical sign before just without the slash. In this case, it means the village/town/city (yellow sign with its name) "Altenburg" ends here and 0.5km ahead a new one starts (there, you'll have the yellow sign without the distance and arrow on it to signify that). Which only matters because of the different speed limits inside and outside of settlements (50km/h vs 100km/h).

kasenutty Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Thanks for the explanation! I usually just fly by at 145 km per hour and say "Wow, Europe!" Now I know 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Does Euro Truck Simulator not have some playing children you can run over when speeding?! Lame! Unrealistic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kinda lame. I enjoyed it for a while, but it got boring, so I turned off the police and started hauling all my loads on the wrong side of the street/freeway. Then that got boring and I started playing Dirt instead. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. Seriously. Its in an abandoned tennis court behind an old elementary school that’s been closedown a few years now . Kids must have made it to jump bikes or skateboards. I figured why not EUC ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pingouin Posted March 31, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Hi guys, Here are a few pics from todays trip in the moutains, over 800m climb overall, and a 55km ride, very fun ! 450km total with the DT ultra for now, I'm starting to really enjoy this machine, it's definitely meant for moutain riding (road & offroad), capable of incredible +75kph speeds climbing on steep roads, the torque is insane ! I would never bring an EUC on such long trips (overheating) in the moutains, but the DT is a champ !

Smoother Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Damn @meepmeepmayer there are no people where you ride. It looks like one of those movies where someone wakes up from a coma and everyone is gone. I'm moving there, no people is my kinda place. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like one of those movies where someone wakes up from a coma and everyone is gone. I'm moving there, no people is my kinda place. Now that you say it.... It's semi-intentional, though. I tend to wait until all "distractions" are gone from the scene, did that for several people in these photos. And what I'm photographing is usually also something specific, some landscape thing or so, so also no people there. But there really wasn't much going on on this quiet late Friday afternoon, and together with the sunset sidelights it does look zombie movie like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 @Pingouin Your descriptions almost make me want such a scooter now. And it's clear the form factor is more practical than a EUC, if only for the stability. But really what I want is just a mountain-ready EUC.

meepmeepmayer Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Dealer (electricunicycles.eu). Marty got the same (or a similar one) from Amazon.

Bob Eisenman Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 @meepmeepmayer you right about the other post. Check out the car (helmet cam)/at the private entrance where I ended a ride before turning back home today. Do you recognize the car type? Jaguar ? Monster is against the Sea wall but hard to 'see'. 2902 km on the odometer today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty got the same (or a similar one) from Amazon. i got this tire and installed it on my tesla a few days ago (still no control board ) i bought it off ebay. very cheap. first impression. it looked slightly less wide but its just the studs that are taking up more of the space. It also felt more flexible than the kenda tire i had on it. And when sliding it along the floor. I already know. This thing has a lot of grip the studs are nice and soft so i wont be expecting the studs to make loud noises on asphalt then i went on to install it. then it looked kind of thin like if it was smaller than 2.125 but its just the studs make up more of the space. i think the kenda vesion is harder and more stiff. i was in a recycle store and there was small kids bike that had 12" kenda tire that looked exactly like the one i bought. Coincidence?? i inspected it a little. It felt a lot more stiff. so i could definely see why it would be louder and now. I need to patiently wait for a new control board 1 week or 2 weeks left i dont know but it has already been 2-3 Edited April 2, 2018 by Shad0z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The city tires usually have a wider central run and a slightly flatter profile, which makes them stable when running fast, while the Mad Mike's feel a little more "skittish". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
