Good article with common-sense reminders... always welcomed during this time of year. :)

Fine — just don’t ride on Maui. The squids (and drunk wanna-be tourists on cruisers) roam in schools here...

Being an ATGATT rider all 21 years (had to give it up to save my hands for my work)... riding around Maui, and its parrothead-cosplay tourist culture, makes an enthusiast want to, well... put up their gear.

What happened to the wrist? Had a track wreck on my racebike almost 10 yrs ago that saw both ulna and radius shattered and plated... luckily it was my left hand, but it’s still only about 80% as strong as it used to be (scar tissue binding everything that’s supposed to slide over each other, sucks).

Here’s a…

Jalop AND steampunk... well-played, sir.

When I was a kid, used to be a locomotive that originally transported burnt sugar cane from the fields to the mill back in the early 20th century, restored and run for the tourists, right in front of my neighborhood. Friends and I used to try to catch up to the caboose on foot,…

Is that a big rig’s tire carcass under that Vette’s booty? Any correlation to causation here?

Ditto on D-Dubya’s sane suggestion (no prep or extra stuff to buy, likely availability of location, no LEO involvement), but with the caveat of doing it all, with the A/C plus all electrical loads on (wipers, fans, defrosters).

Led Zeppelin, up to Zoso... relaxing and chill yet energizing at the same time. Used to listen on earphones in the shops I’ve worked in. Come to think preferred a lot of classic rock while wrenching in my day.

Personally now I like electronic, either more mellow or more intense than classic rock. If it’s a long job…

The TaoTronics set, is exactly the same as AYL’s QY8, save better earhooks — in fact, the AYL earhooks are the simple loops seen in the left-side box contents image in the Amazon ad. Even the box itself is identical to my former AYL one... so obviously a rebranded generic BT QY8 headset.

That stupid headset paired…

^^ Apparently has not been in a five-lane, 30-mph logjam in a big city with a dudebro squid riding at 100 dB right next to his driver’s door.

Stock. It’s stealth, plus you likely don’t know how to ride anyway, no sense acting like you need addons. Stock and/or sane has saved me maaany a time from betraying my location…

Sage advice on moderation when it comes to running... I’m reading a few of the commenters also cite that adherence to form is equally, if not more important. Agree with both, variation in workout and focus on form.

My contribution’ll be from a deep-tissue bodyworker’s perspective. I see common syndromes like ITB and…

Then I’m dated as well... had Testarossa & Vector W2 posters next to Elle Macpherson on the bedroom wall...

What’s going to be terrifying, if Trump does pull this off... are the first four years.

He and his rich friends will plunder the country, siphon more revenue streams from defenseless social programs at Wall Street, military-industrial, and D.C. elites with legal intrigue, while making the low/mid-income idiots who…

“In their desperation, they turned to a man they don’t fully understand.”

Wish there was a real version of Koriko, the city in ‘Majo no Takkyuubin’ (Kiki’s Delivery Service) you could take a few day’s timeline from the anime exploring...

Maybe when we’re all in sleep pods, waiting out the hundred years to landfall somewhere else in the galaxy. Or just the afterlife...

Nothing, not even the RC166's 350-class brother, the RC174, sounds as good revving through the gears — even being virtually identical save displacment:

RC166:

GODDAMN those Weber side-drafts sound good...

Have to say... as a ‘70s and ‘80s kid... this was pretty much peak Jalop.

Those were the days *sigh*... but based on that Dodge minivan revenue stream-er up there... you can’t even count on the Mickey-Mouse-ear spotlights anymore (which are present on the Explorer cruiser at least)...

Maybe that’s the key — I need to draw more horrible-er. :D

This stuff is the bomb — super roasted peanut-y flavor, fraction of the fat...

I’m restricted by a gut condition (hypertriglyceridemia) so can’t eat normal peanut butter anymore. But this is within the fat content guidelines — and the lack of that fat ironically allows the flavor to really come through. My kids steal…

Concur. Drew three ¥ symbols, and three times a different wrong symbol was answered.
