I'll say that most car guys are secret rednecks with toys. Listen to a lumpy 6.7L v8 cold start vs a turbo-whatever, and unless the turbo-whatever is hailing from an Italian marque or Aston Martin, the v8 just has "presence". Then throw reliability and ease of DIY/finding a shop to wrench on it...

Not sure what the point is that I'm trying to convey, but riding in Spain/Italy is so unfamiliar if all you've known is riding in Ontario/New York/Pennsylvania. Most of my riding locally is "spend x hours on bike until daylight, then rest". Riding over there is way more 'rewarding'.. each road...

I've flown a few airlines with my helmet, most of the time, I'm quite a bit over the carry-on limits. No issues with the trans atlantic/pacific flights, but if you were going to take any regional flights within the EU, pay DOUBLE attention to their carry on limits. That $50 flight includes...

They perfected the front engine platform. Also: 2018 sales: 9600 Vettes vs 170 NSX's... The people have spoken with their wallets.

What's the over/under on the helmets arriving with a specific number of "drops on the ground" before they reach your noggin? The artisan assembler probably dropped their aforementioned avocado toast while working on the workbench.

I get my packages opened from time to time, I'm not shipping anything shady, so I have no issues there.

Something something about tire valve stem tools on aliexpress for $1.50.. **chuckle**

Amen + a good funny podcast and a Hellinox knockoff, I frequently post up at a beach for an hour or two leading up to sunsets and unwind at a nice quiet beach after the families start heading home.

Mandated stickers.... similar to how California has stickers for electric cars/HOV eligible cars Shame them in this day-and-age of social media and be a rolling laughing stock. Imagine seeing a pink/fusia/rainbow colored rear bumper in front, or front bumper in the rearview..

My only wish is for insurance companies to actually do their jobs in punishing ONLY bad riders, and not just casting a huge net and punishing those that are diligent in training. Instead, they're only too happy to encourage and write a huge policy to Mr Schmuck who just got his M2/M, blew 5...

Piggybacking this thread, is there any fear of driving (in a cage) in the dark around California's state/national parks? Rough idea: just over 48 hours in total before redeye on Sunday, likely skipping the PCH as I'll return with the missus for that. Fly into LAX Thursday evening, and heading...

Booked a Model S 90D for pickup in LAX for my 2 day stopover. Looking forward to vista-jumping-camping out of the backseats. Will search this forum for recommendations, but main idea is to drive to either Sierra/Yosemite peaks/lookout vistas, and to wake up to spectacular views. Anyone have a...

What's her name? Maybe look up if she owns other properties and in a round about way, let her know that you have some time to go around to her other buildings to survey whether she is a good LL or a slumlord and open a can of worms?

Slightly tangent suggestion, no idea if it will help, but if you can find access to a hot sauna (traditional is slightly better than infrared) go 2-3x a week for 20 minutes at a time to as high of a temperature as you can tolerate. Most are default to 155F, but if you can get closer or above...

Like the other fella said, use an existing frame and package the electric components wisely, maybe none of the additional parts will intrude on aftermarket parts? And with a frame that is designed from the getgo like the Rivian, I think the ground clearance without all the regular drivetrain...

Amazon is easiest or any of the online retailers (eshine/autogeek/autopia). FWIW: Just tried to buy Optimun No Rinse for a friend this week and it seems like most if not ALL local estores are OOS on Optimum No Rinse.. ended up ordering from autogeek during their mother's day 20% off sale. They...

F11's website: "The avg. life is 3-6 months" Any of the products in the first comparison video will do 3 months, cost only $20-30, and be much easier to apply. After washing, spritz, (I add in the step of spreading) and rinse off. Then dry as normal. I use Mckees', which is nearly essentially...

Tight figure 8's, lowspeed control (rear brake!), u-turns and emergency maneuvers first in a big lot. Then mornings during low traffic and less drunkards Hour+ rides in rural areas too.

Oh I hear ya.. I'm on year 3 of my first Kapsco battery, still good. I have a 4 year old one, but that bike has been in storage the past 2 years, can't really test if it's still good. Not eco friendly, but I am personally confident in them for 2+ years despite my erratic riding schedule with...
