Stick shift drivers - would you get an electric vehicle?
  • I'm a daily rider/commuter by motorcycle and I'd love to get an electric bike. I don't think I'd miss shifting gears at all, but (and I've been thinking about this) I think I'd like to have some kind of electric "clutch" that doesn't work at all like a regular clutch but performs a similar function. In this case it would adjust the throttle map. Clutch full in = throttle does nothing. Clutch full out = aggressive or linear throttle map. I have not actually ridden any of the high end e-motos to know if this is necessary, but in my mind I would miss the ability to feather the clutch.

  • What is your dream motorcycle garage?
  • Yeah, I'd be getting a lower class ebike coz in Australia basically an ebike has to be 250w or less and pedal assist or it falls into a grey/illegal area. I can't be arsed with running an illegal bike - even if I might never get caught/questioned.

  • What is your dream motorcycle garage?
  • I feel like it'd be something like:

    1. KTM Adv 790
    2. Zero DSR
    3. Cake Osa+

    Something for offroad motocamp trips. Something electric for daily comute and runabout. And an electric grocery getter - which tbh should probs be an ebike so I could ride on bike paths etc, but I'll keep my answer more moto related.

  • Warpaint - Disco//Very - Keep It Healthy [2014]
  • I really love their Exquisite Corpse EP, but they're an awesome band all round. Such great layers of melody and rhythm. One of my favourite drummers - saw them recently and Stella was awesome to watch (although I thought the sound mix for them was pretty bad, which was disappointing, but other people thought they sounded great, so dunno~)

  • Garlic Nun - Dear Tracey [2021]
  • Haha so wild to see this here. A few of my friends are in the video and I met the front man at a few parties. I'm actually not sure if the band is still together, or broken up tho

  • Small Hand Advice
  • All good. Just wanted to check you weren't trying to play some beastly classical and thinking "what's wrong with me?!" when the neck is a mile wide haha. You'll probably be fine with most electrics, just give it time or refer to the other advice in the thread. You could go to a guitar shop and try a short scale guitar like a fender mustang/Jag - see if it makes a world of difference or not.

  • [DISCUSSION: WEEKLY ALBUM CLUB] Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation (1988)
  • I first listened to this album real late at night while finishing uni assignments. (I was going thru a list of highly recommended albums at the time.) Well, essentially as soon as Teenage Riot started and the guitar tones filled my ears I stopped working and just sat there. Listened to the whole album and didn't do any further work that night - I definitely succumbed to the Daydream Nation. Still an all time top 3 for me and Eric's Trip is a personal favourite track.
