Sure, if you only want people to notice you at junctions... you could probably be invisible the rest of the time and be fine.

Well you generally don't get run off when you're between cars, do you?

I don't actually know what that means? What is 'run off'?

But yes, you get people generally just not noticing you quite often. They might even be parked and just open a door... no-where near a junction at all!

As a chef, I guarantee that you'll end up using just 1 or 2 of those knives and the rest will never get used

Absolutely 1

Apart from the brief few seconds when *shock and aghast from knife-geeks* the dishwasher is on and you need to slice a lime for some gin.

Dishwasher and knife? Never even with just one, I mean it blunts them

Were you never taught to give clearance to parked vehicles to prevent just that? FML I even do it in the car.

It's just one example... I see you're in the North, maybe there's enough room up there, if you do that all the time in London, you will take hours to get anywhere. There are various roads you couldn't even drive down.

How can a dishwasher blunt a knife? It’s just spraying hot water

Maybe he uses the washing machine as a dishwasher ?

But seriously, dish washer is really bad for knives

A used knife with whatever you've cut still on the blade will sit in the dishwasher for probably several hours, and that will eat away at the edge of the blade where it is thinnest. The strong detergents used in dishwashers will also eat away at the edge of the blade as it's being cleaned. It takes quite a while for most dishwashers to run, so the knife edge is effectively sitting in water for an hour or two, also damaging the edge of the blade and wooden handles. Those things will blunt the edge more quickly, meaning you have to sharpen it far more often than simply rinsing, wiping and drying the the knife after you've finished using it.

A quality knife that you like using and that you want to keep sharp deserves a little bit of TLC to keep it that way. That's why anyone that really cares doesn't use a marble chopping board and gives it a little hand wash when you've finished using it.

Absolutely, my wife’s knives are basically butter knives. My one knife doesn’t see the dishwasher and is rinsed and slid into a safe spot.

I love the secret knife hiding place.

To put you all at ease, I only own two knives because I am not a savage - a bread knife, and a chef's knife. Both Victorinox. Neither have seen a dishwasher, ever.

Im the same but I like having a little paring one for things like strawberry’s (just cut a few moments ago) chef knifes way to big to control to cut the white crap out.

Everyone's taste is different obviously, but it's a bit too bland for my taste. I do like real ale but this is one of the worst for me. It's a pretty poor example of an Amber too, which I also like.

Like I say, it's a good session

Ever heard a bike horn? They are ****.

Denali sound bomb.

Air compresssor horn sounds like you're an artic lorry

"Loud pipes save lives" is complete nonsense espoused by fair weather idiots.


Car driver can't hear **** at 5 am with thier radio on barely half awake still sipping thier coffee

On a serious note, it is interesting, the first time you ride a motorbike, just how vulnerable you feel and actually maybe those that haven't just don't get that?

Ride where they can see you then

Guys, as I said:

Lol @ trying to question bicycle and motorcycle rider logic.

Or take it to the bikers safe space (a subset of motors).

 

[Tefal]

You did say it's the "most important reason" you bought a loud exhaust though, which implies it's pretty safety critical.

It's not really though is it? You bought it because you like it and the sound of your bike with a nice exhaust, so just say that.

Any perceived benefit to safety is a secondary convenience, nobody is genuinely going out buying new exhausts as a safety feature.

Only tangible benifit to an aftermarket is the weight saving really.

Or to remove the vlave in stock exhausts as it will fail sooner or later its too harsh an environment for them.


My h2sx is rated at 98db at 5000rpm by its frame plate all stock.


That's enough to cause hearing damage, it doesn't need to be louder
