Mine’s 25 years old and still killing it.  Rode it yesterday (and December in Chicago means that’s rare).  

I already daily drive a 30 year old motorcycle to work, so I'm almost a third of the way there!

And more often than not, it’s the Chinese. Their fishing fleets invade other countries’ home waters because they’ve overfished their own territorial waters, and more often than not, they’re accompanied by their naval militia in “civilian” vessels with hardened hulls or their armed coast guard cutters that harass and…

My dad once told me “its better to stay warm than have to get warm”. 

I’ve been riding every winter since I got my license in 2018. I still do things the old-school way. I bundle up in LOTS of layers and hit the tarmac looking like I ate an entire cow or something. But, I do stay pretty toasty. I’m looking forward to seeing how your approach works!

Illegal overfishing is what drove fisherman to piracy in the first place.

Something tells me that “King Vanga” will disappear from Stanford’s student registry and be replaced by someone known as “Richard Johnson” or something similar.

Popehat is an amazing attorney, good on him for helping the family.

I’ve been snow bicycling for decades. Studded tires are essential or your BMW is going to be taking an ice nap. I don’t run studs offroad unless the ice has set in. Your best bet would be another set of wheels set up with studded tires. But you’re not all-in on that BMW it appears. There are lots of Russian YouTube…

This chud looks like Chet at the end of weird science.

I just parked my bike for the winter, so I’m happy to hear you’re still riding!

“Getting from my apartment to my rock climbing gym takes about an hour by train, but riding a motorcycle halves that time.”

I disagree. That Miata with 100% of engine torque available at zero RPM would be a riot. Without engine vibration the tire feedback becomes much much better. This is a thing with electric motorcycles and it’s what makes them so quick around a track. Plus I bet the weight bias moves towards the rear of the car.

Zero drill drop in conversion with only a moderate increase in weight? That is seriously impressive.

My first thought was to use the kit with a (relatively) cheap to acquire automatic NA. Maybe bonus points if you know someone who needs a 1.8l to swap into their tired 1.6l car. Buy a clean automatic, sell off the engine, give the car new life with an EV conversion.

It’s fascinating Voyager 1 & 2 are still operating and how far they have travelled.  I remember learning about them in elementary/middle school in the 80s.

Sad that these things will one day stop transmitting. They’ve been around nearly as long as I have and I always enjoy reading about updates about them.

Battlebots (as member of a crew, 2 seasons), and their smaller brethren (my own team/bots) through a half-dozen or so competitions.

Logged in for the first time in a year solely to give you a star. Well said.

Motorcycle haters? How do I put this eloquently? Oh! Got it:
