I wish everyone who operates any kind of vehicle on public roadways could somehow have a year of motorcycle riding under their belt. It's amazing the 'traffic sense' I gained after riding, and how that serves me both on bike and in a car.

LOL, I love doing that to distracted drivers. One of my riding buds caught a woman eating a bowel of cereal once. Wish I had seen it, but the story is still funny as hell.

When I demoed my bad-boy air horn to a friend, he went out and bought 4 of them for his bike.

Instead of loud pipes, I use a loud aftermarket airhorn. Sucker has already saved me a few times.

I can't tap into my bike's brains unless I have a set of wrenches, think it's because I have one of these on it

I had a new RZ350 and never before had I been stung by so many bees while riding. No more yellow bikes for me. Besides, I am the only one looking out for me, not gonna trick myself that color changes that.

Loud pipes make deaf riders, My bike is slightly louder than a BMW 325i and I like it that way. but then I ride way way more than most bikers that have loud pipes. Try 6 hours non stop with straight pipes. 900 mile ride on the weekend is not out of the ordinary.

BMW Canbus has been completely cracked for a while now.... you can even buy Service tools to reset warnings and codes that are not sanctioned by BMW in any way.

Speaking from 50+ years of riding, the single best piece of advice I can give is ride a yellow bike.

Voice recognition in a helmet (even an open face helmet) works fine with the right equipment. You just need to get rid of your shitty Chatterbox and get something better, like the Sena SMH-10. I've never heard a single person say that they had voice comms or voice recognition problems using the newest generation of…

As a 20+ year veteran rider, I already have that.

The hello Jarvis thing is not a bit much, it's fucking awesome. STARK all the things!

I'm from the east coast, so I'm obviously biased to the weather patterns around here. The midwest and northern part of the country would likely have them, but on the east coast, it's unlikely that anyone south of northern NY would bother. While the winters get cold (record cold, this year) in southern NY, NJ, PA,…

It looks like a fuckkin world of pain, that's what it looks like.

I love the Antonov AN-225, but remember that only one of those was ever built. The AN-124, however, is the airplane that was the base for the 225 and there are 55 of those flying around.

You do, but people south of, say, Buffalo, NY, likely don't. Unless they have a diesel.

Won't even work in 5 years :(

You don't even need a P Code. With LCD, they could actually use words to describe the issue, and maybe tell you if it is safe to continue using. IE Stop driving immediately and tow, or take it easy and drive to the dealer/mechanic.

Modern cars have all sorts of LCD displays in the gauge cluster and in the dashboard, and yet we still have an idiot light? It just seems incongruous in the age we live in to have to use an OBD II reader to check for a misfire or catastrophic engine failure.

Buick says "no"
