There are a zillion variables, weather, route, length of ride, blah, blah, blah. Wear what you’re most comfortable with. The most important bit of safety gear is between your ears, take a rider course, no matter how good you think you are, there is something to learn. For me it's jeans (slide 10' before you start…

I think that is my brother in that GIF!

No problem there, two, count ‘em, two playoff games with zero points scored when he was still in a snit about the signing of Bynam. Should have cut him loose then, good riddance. Now he can go learn how to be a professional narcissist from Kobe.

Been reading Arthur C. Clarke since grade school. I was unaware of the short story 'Superiority' til now. It is scary and disappointing how easily that story can be plugged right in to our current situation. You need much wider exposure my friend because this is not getting any play in any main stream conversations. I…

Puh-leeese, religion is a command and control device created by MAN for the acquisition of power and wealth. It is without a doubt the most evil scourge that has ever been visited on this planet with easily the highest death toll of any organized effort. More people have been 'righteously' killed in the name of God…

Excuse me, the word accident implies that the incident was beyond anyone’s control. Ex; The tree branch fell and damaged a car. That is an accident. Using it in this context relieves this asshat of culpability for his actions. Turns out, there really are very few ‘accidents’ when humans are involved. It is a word we…

That’s because we have perfected the large engine with minimal horsepower. Regular here is actually 87 and in many places 91 is sold as ‘premium’. 93 is the best regular type pump gas til you start getting into the 100+ specialty fuels. I have an old Harley that has been severely massaged, it will run on the 93, but…

I think what Turbineguy is alluding to is; at that speed, in a hi performance car like that, suddenly lifting (taking foot off gas) is akin to heavily applying rear brake only, in a rear wheel driven car. This is because the engine is so highly engineered and compression is very high that when you dump the throttle…

This is to prevent the pitcher from being penalized for the catcher's inability (for whatever reason) to cleanly field the ball.

If the question is necessary, the understanding is unavailable. He is obviously a mechanical genius madman.

States with lower population will skew higher in a 'per thousand residents' format, and states with low vehicle ownership (economic) will score better. I have made a couple laps around the country and I can assure you that shitty drivers are ubiquitous.

unaware of the proper use of a decimal point or proofreading more like...

It's about time. I am a huge sports fan, NFL, MLB and most all forms of auto racing pretty much in that order. Like most everybody here, I am paying around $100 per month for satellite and probably watch 7 - 10 channels 99% of the time. I have had Verizon mobile for many years, it's a good service but over-priced and…

I would say the mustang chase must be old, they didn't shoot the driver. Also, google 'Colin Edwards great save'. I won't bother tryin to explain it, he was crashed, then he wasn't crashed. I am lucky to be able to see Moto GP here at home in Indy. Those guys are devoid of the 'OH SHIT!' gene.

Several years ago my girlfriend bought for me an hour in the front seat of a T-6. I am not a pilot obviously but I was that day, best birthday present ever! The P-51 is a much more capable aircraft but the cockpit is not so different from the one I flew. When he took off, the memory of that day came right back. We did…

So it would seem that everyone is at least a bit racist. Most of you will shake your heads and say, "not me". The truth is we all have some pre-conceived notions of what people are or should be, it's pretty much unavoidable. The question is how you apply that in the treatment of others. I'm an old white guy and as…

A couple observations; 1. Ladies, most every guy below the age of 40 learned everything he knows watching porn. Teach him what works for you, if he is incapable of learning, find someone who can (or quit complaining....please) 2. This one is for the guys, slow the fuck down, it's not a race for her. Since 99.9% of us…

Looked like a bit of bad timing, he was back on the throttle just as he was lifted by the curb. The combo of adding power and reducing traction never works well.

Tune in to ESPN 2 tomorrow, he'll be racing.

Do yourself a favor, find out where the closest national event is and risk $25. Make sure you are there when top fuel and funny car are running and find a place as close to the track as you can get (starting line is best but anyplace along the track will do) and take it in. There is no description, audio or visual…
