    Where can I get this kind of stitch in gta?

    Horsie leather stitching is usually hand done and uses a saddle stitch, very different, much stronger and long lasting than a machine stitch. With a machine stitch if a stitch has been cut the whole line can unravel. With the saddle stitch each of the two threads goes through the same hole...

    Where can I get this kind of stitch in gta?

    Anyone with a sewing machine can do that stitch, including all home machines. There's nothing special about the stitch. You'll need to use upholstery thread, because cotton will rot and weaken. If you wish to save some money then learn to sew. Before you cut your webbing, and do all cuts with a...

    Almost bought the farm x2

    They are indeed out to kill you, but just don't tell you when and where. Incident #1: It is possible that a bike's single headlight, that I can only assume he did see, gave him the false information that your bike was farther away than it was. Judging distance is best done with respect to 2...

    Red light camera

    I'm not really sure what to say. The cameras near me are on metal posts. I could recognize myself in the camera photo, as did my kids. I don't know where the MOT letter is, so can't confirm.

    Red light camera

    Unfortunately for me, I'd like to say I was lieing. 'Twas dark, 23:00, and not another vehicle in sight. The front flash is quite bright and did blind me for a bit. Gave the kids a laugh when the ticket and photos arrived via post. While the head shot is not used for court it worked well for...

    Rolling stop... on a bicycle

    With no vehicular, bicycle or pedestrian traffic at the intersection I am sure 95% of cyclists would have gone through, albeit slowly and carefully, looking in both directions before proceeding. It is still illegal. Rolling stops are much more dangerous when done by cars, when vehicular, bicycle...

    Red light camera

    They take photos from both front and rear, showing the red light and car plate, as well as a pic of the driver's face. The photos, unfortunately, are pretty clear.

    Tricep pain

    Right arm out, fully straight, palm down, make a fist. Slightly bend arm, and your triceps will flex. Lean forward on your wrist/hand with the arm slightly bent and your triceps will tighten. Maybe you're too tense in your arms when riding? Using your arms to hold up your weight? What bike are...

    News: G&M | 2017 Honda Rebel 500 ABS

    I've got no issues with manufacturers reusing their existing, and reliable powerplants. Not everyone wants to have a power rangers bike. Those that have short legs have issues with the CBR heights, so this is an option. I just don't see someone riding this bike being...a Rebel.

    News: G&M | 2017 Honda Rebel 500 ABS

    Please elaborate. I didn't see anything in the article, or in the photos, that hinted at such. What does pubic hair say about someone? That they are human?
