“, a four-mile Uber ride to pick it up,...”

Good to know. We road trip a lot for various adventures. As such we usually have a good set of tools with us and are pretty self-reliant. I’ll be on the lookout for the helmet on the ground. This is a new one for me. 

I really wanted to like it. I thought it looked cool, had loads of space, decent motor... I just couldn’t get to feeling comfortable in it. 

Still not fast enough to outrun the ugly.

Les Nessman, you magnificent bastard. 

I mean, we all know that these are stars, private planes, and a bunch of people deciding to fuck around.

Terrible driver ergonomics. Truly one of the most unpleasant driving experiences I’ve ever had. I’m not an odd-sized person (5' 8"). I have appropriately proportioned arms and legs.

Spread some avocado in there and kill the little buggers. 

My brother and I are having that conversation with our aging parents right now. Dad’s 81, mom’s 78 and while they’re both super fit and healthy, they need to start getting rid of some stuff they don’t feel they need around anymore. My brother and I really don’t want anything.

Two of those things sold like hotcakes when they were unveiled. Just sayin’

People do sometimes just move-on. I have a literal one-of-one Larrivee Telecaster guitar. It’s got good provenance, plays beautifully, looks amazing, sounds really full. I bought it when I was 25 years old. I’m now 54. I’m contemplating selling it. I’ve had a great experience with it. It’s played shows; done a little…

Yep. In Canada we have a 15-year rule. Everything seems pretty darned safe.

The fact that Highway 1 through Banff National Park has a year-round 90 km/h speed limit is patently ridiculous.

Ah Alberta. Never change. Let me guess, these were Freemen on the Land living out past Sundre, Caroline, Raven, Prairie Creek etc...

Or, they could implement the system we have in Alberta. On-line updating for your registration (in one or two year intervals) and the license plate sticker is gone.

Thanks. Not a bike guy, so I appreciate the answer.

“...a license-plate removal kit...”

You sank my Bimmer

At 54-years-old there are lots of things in my past that maybe shouldn’t be revisited; I’m not as bendable/repairable as I once was. And then my reptile brain sees this and thinks “yeah, maybe...”
