While that is “technically” true, it is an absolute farce in reality. Example:
I’m going to privately fund a company that makes widgets and gizmos. I tell them that my money cannot be used for gizmos - only widgets. They go “SURE!”
They have a budget of $40 for both production lines. I give them $35. Their other…

I wouldn’t even have them if I wasn’t trained on them. You are correct, though.

I’ve done this several times as well. None of my vehicles have dealership decals on them. If I am looking at a vehicle and it already has a decal/emblem on it, I ask them to remove it as a requirement for me to purchase it. If they decline, they are effectively declining a sale.

I’d ride the ever-loving hell out of it...IF someone else purchased it for me.

I linked one that is decent, but, frankly, it is best to build your own. First find a container that will fit on your bike and is easy to carry to the victim. Then fill it with essentials:
#1 GOOD gloves (I use 9 mil nitrile glovesfrom Harbor Freight)
#2 Blood clotting agent for deep wounds
#3 Sterile bandages
#4 Good…

*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!
