*ahem* I’ll just leave this here:

Great article full of sound advice!
What I would add: If you have the space on your bike, keep a First Aid kit, or, even better, a trauma bag. I have a “Plain Clothes Medical Carry Kit” in my saddle bag at all times (as well as my “cages”). I also have extra blood clotters.
Get 1st Aid training.
Get CPR certified.
Carry a…

I prefer to think that she and Hillary are the real couple while their husbands, by contract/connections only, are out womanizing because they can/the marriages are a sham.

If those quotes are accurate, I’d have to defend him. He never said that there were too many women working there, he simply remarked that there were a lot. I can see myself making a similar remark. Not because I thought that a 50/50 ratio was excessive, just because it was different. I’d go so far as to say it was…

Exactly this. While I enjoy looking at twenty-somethings, I definitely do not enjoy conversing with them. The experience gap raises its ugly head very quickly. I could not fathom dating someone that young.

This needs all of the stars!

This reminds me of the night before my best friend’s wedding. The Maid of Honor got so bombed at the bachelorette party that she couldn’t wait on the elevator to get up to the room to pee. She did what any soundly drunk girl would do and backed up to the potted fake tree and gave it a sound, albeit unnecessary…

This is the only appropriate response.

For the life of me, I cannot see why they went with a single disc system. I can only assume they did this to save money. Then again, the MoCo is not exactly renowned for their innovation.

Which is fine. I don’t hang out with assholes. We’re both covered.

Ahh, snark. Such a quality way to reply to people who are responding to you. We should hang out and have some beers.

Ural with side car: Zero to 80 in..hahah, just kidding!

I’m not sure. I know a *lot* of fourty-somethings that read blogs. I’m a 41 year old who owns a cruiser (albeit a Victory). I check this site daily. Mainly when my BP is low and I feel the need to get pissed off at some self-absorbed hipster from a large city telling me what bike to ride and how to ride it when I’m a…

This is the best rebuttle that I’ve read. I no longer feel inclined to write one now.

I was wondering how I could write eloquently: “Hey, Sean, try to ask people their opinion without saying their opinion is worthless first.” You did it well. Thank you.

My only “horror” story when one was my own stupidity. I used it in an anodized aluminum pan. The stainless steel was harder and I ruined that pan. Since the rest of our pans are either stainless or cast iron, I don’t have to worry about that any more. Boy, did I get in trouble from the Mrs. for that, though!

We make our own pasta sauce and salsa to can (jar). The immersion blender *the* go-to tool on those days. You can get the texture exactly how you want it. Chunky? Smooth? Somewhere in between? No problem!

Those of us over the age of forty already disregard anything that the under forty have to say anyway.

I’m sure glad they did, though!

We can’t lane split here in Texas. Although, when I lived in Germany, I lane split all of the time on a BMW K1200LT which is a much, much larger bike (mine weighed right at 1,100 lbs.).

Funny you mention that. A BMW R1200GSA is probably going to be my next purchase. I think it would make for one helluva fun commuter bike.
