BMW makes hybrids - they have a 3, 5, and 7 series hybrid...

Move to Northern California. I moved to the San Francisco bay area, and I can ride all year, and have hundreds of miles of twisty mountain roads within a 50 mile radius of my house. Going a few hours more gets me to roads that rival/surpass Deals Gap.

I already did ;)

It's not the same formula. They had to take out the caffeine after a bunch of people died and the drink got banned in several states.

Wow I wish they had this option when I bought my truck. I wonder if they charge more for diesels - an oil change on my F350 costs over $200 when done at the dealership!

Straight people assert their sexuality all the time, especially in day to day conversation. For example, I asked my co-worker what plans he had this weekend, and he ended up 'asserting his sexuality': Me: "Any weekend plans?" Male co-worker: "Yeah, my girlfriend and I are going camping this...

Another alternative is to get a propane (LPG) generator for backup. Propane doesn't 'go bad' the way gasoline or diesel does.

San Jose BMW! If I'd known you guys were in the area I would have stopped in to say hi. That's the dealer I take all my bikes to for service - they're 5 minutes from my house.

This might be why (from Car & Driver 9/2012):

This is why you move somewhere where you can ride all year ;)

To me, the ability to filter through hundreds of profiles was the main advantage to doing things online. Find the ones that have potential, and then meet up in person (if there is mutual interest) as soon as possible. It's hard to meet 'dateable' people on a day to day basis (even for straight...

Yeah that's not so much homophobic as it is just plain ignorant. But, just to name a few: Alan Turing, generally considered to be the father of modern computer science. He was also instrumental in breaking the Enigma cipher during WWII. James Pollack, who made many advances in astronomy and...

When my friend ordered me one from the VIP/EPP store, he told me that GoPro limits the number of cameras you can buy to 2 cameras per calendar year at the discounted price ($150). I guess this makes sense, otherwise people would just order hundreds and re-sell them for a profit.

I can tell you that's not how it works over here in California in congested traffic/rush hour. Car drivers don't wait for the motorcycle to clear the way before starting off, so there is no 'additional delay'. When I lane share, everyone starts moving at approximately the same time. The...

If I had a vehicle that could fit and could out-accelerate most cars, I would probably do it, and be okay with anyone else who was able to do it. But again, I live in California, and lane sharing is legal here. As it stands, though, my non-motorcycle vehicle is an F350, so there aren't very...
