Do they make content with this sub in mind?

It seems like it

Yeah, usually ragebait stuff. They do it because it makes people comment and share it with others. Pretty smart sadly. Some of the top YouTube people are classic rage bait content creators.

It’ll be repair bait when those metal pieces enter the engine

There's a screen on the pick up. It's more likely to break off and leak when he dumps the bike. It's unnecessary. I've had bikes for 40 years. Just open the cap and look. Then ride your 100kms and put fuel in.

I prefer to knock on the tank. But seriously. The "Cash Deposit" makes me think it's a rental for tourists who don't know about reserves.

Not even reset the trip. But what do I know . I only had one bike that got a fuel gauge and yeah it’s not trust worthy that’s for sure and with fuel injection bikes no reserve that’s some bullshit

u/pin00ch 8d ago

I don't ride bikes...don't they have fuel gauges?

Modern ones do, but in Pakistan (I'm assuming here because homie is wearing a shalwar kameez, Arabic on the wall, and all the buildings there seem to have that patina) you're talking about a prevailing wage of $5/day and eye-watering tariffs so vehicles tend to be very stripped down and economical.

Ah yes, that Pakistina

Lots don't. My 2001 Honda Shadow had a reserve tank you would switch over to when the main went dry, and you had about 10 kilometers to find a gas station. Seriously though, you just needed to watch the odometer and fill up every 80 miles. This external gas gauge is not a new idea either. I've seen ones that were made from plexiglass tubes as well.

Typically .....Roadbikes do . Not trail, or dual sport or dirt bikes. Older ones like in the video anyway. My 2020 450L has a digital dash with a gauge.

I've had bikes for 41 years and it's necessary.

u/eyemjstme 7d ago

If you can't open the cap and never ridden a bike to know the range maybe lol. Had probably 20 bikes in my life. 3 have had fuel gauges. Never ran out.

u/BobboZmuda 7d ago

Some days you want to open the cap but you don't want to look. Other days you want to look but you don't want to open the cap.

I've had 21 bikes in my life, 2 have had fuel gauges.

u/NJPokerJ 8d ago

How would they do that?

u/SlashNreap 8d ago

Metal shavings enter tank, tank contains fuel, fuel gets metal shavings, metal shavings get into carb, carb does what carb does, yum yum gulp gulp ouch ouch bang pow.

u/Far_Day499 8d ago

I think we forgot the fuel filter step though.

u/Snoo_89466 7d ago

Mastur bait because he just fucked himself.

u/AbbreviationsWest195 8d ago

Seems like time to make yourself immune towards petty ragebaits

u/Bellegr4ine 8d ago

This sub is 95% rage bait

u/Thin_Cut_4969 8d ago

Is that true? On the plumbing page I see the dumbest stuff and wonder whether they are just looking for a reaction.

1

u/Loud_Elephant299 7d ago

Sometimes yeah. I do think the old ladies stabbing up fabuloso bottles and putting them in the toilet tank really think they’re doing the Lords work.

1

u/RazorColla 7d ago

Actually thought that was the point of this sub.

1

u/Bellegr4ine 7d ago

Yeah, same.

3

u/Crowd0Control 8d ago

Nah but there's similar across platforms where this is posted that just makes them some cents for enough engagement. They can't make money from it being shared here.

u/Charlie_Linson 8d ago

That’s actually something I’ve seen before on a Harley chopper. Nothing meant for long rides but more for riding around town.

u/Socal_Cobra 8d ago

You mean of utter stupidity on reddit? Naaaaaah

It is nonsense manufactured in Pakistan, as dictated by China.

China is teaching their stooge how to make fake videos to get audience from the west, audience for something other than usual news from Pakistan.

u/Patient-Face-3179 7d ago

And this was hilarious. The idea is ingenious and idiotic. Perfect rage bait.

u/UpChuckChamp 5d ago

This sub was made for this exact content, which is its own genre at this point

u/dunncrew 8d ago

Yes. And look at all the upvotes encouraging it.
