I flew with a woman who was holding a 1yo on her lap. As they were pressurizing the plane, she made sure he had his binky and was using it. No tears for the kiddo on take off.

Did you read the study about corvids where they had a person put on a mask and go out and capture a crow? They let the crow go, but that crow apparently taught the other crows to watch out for a person with that specific mask on. Most of the other crows never saw the mask, but when someone wearing the mask would go…

Neither does spelling “roughly” as “rougly” on one of the slides.

Thanks for posting this! I think my only reservations about working on this bike are really centered around valve adjustment.

I only put a few thousand miles a year on my 916. I’m 58 and I’m good for a couple hours a day on that bike - max. At this rate, it’ll be another few years before I have to do anything to it.

I bet it sounds GLORIOUS.

If you’re reasonably competent and are OK with pretty much removing the entire front end. YOu’ll need a couple long drifts to pound the old races out, a bearing puller to get the old bearing off the stem and and a level of bravery that is required to install your new bearings on the stem and races in the head. You…

Those that don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

I think I talked to those guys at Pebble Beach last year when they were showing that black Corvette. They’re hoonigans like us and should be accepted with open arms into our families.

It’s the best part of our system, isn’t it? There’s room for both of us.

I suspect he was one of those insufferably naive college Libertarians, as well. You know, the kind that think once we get all those dad gum regulations out of the way, every business will play nice with each other in our free enterprise wonderland.

We can differ. :)

I bet it’d make a nice replacement for the current Presidential limousine and would be a little closer to the President’s heart.

Totally agree. I also remember that I was once in my 20s and thought I could get away with anything, including riding/driving marginally functional motorcycles and cars long distances.

My optimism has proven to be a personality defect from time to time.

Might want to pack a set of gears for when those explode.

My company is going with the future - fully electronic LED blinkers, which will preclude the need for fluid.

If you ride in it all the time, it gets utterly filthy. I have a preference for red/black/white gear and the white/red portions get really dirty, really quickly on my textile gear.

My wife, who’s also my riding partner of the last 40 years, thinks pink gear is kind of stupid, but she does want gear that doesn’t fit like a burlap bag. There’s a spot in the middle, which BMW seems to occupy along with a few others, that appears to be the sweet spot for her.

Which would be exactly 0. But sure, if it makes you feel better to comment about things you don’t know anything about, you go right ahead.
