Interesting that you're calling this out for aesthetic reasons. In California, bikes must have side reflectors (or reflectorized tires) that are white or red at the rear and white or yellow at the front (CA VC 21201), so this would not be road legal.

I'm on the mandate amber turn signals side. Every reduction in recognition time is valuable. To which end I have another proposal: hazard lights should be blue (or some color not currently in use for vehicle signal lighting), on all four corners, so that they will not be mistaken for turn signals if you are only…

Airliner–Drone should be with an en-dash to denote things meeting rather than a hyphen to denote a single compound thing. It was an airliner and a drone that had near miss, not an airliner-drone all by itself.

I find middle mouse button more useful than the scroll wheel (mostly because of X copy/paste, which I've also enabled in Windows with True X-Mouse and Auto Copy for Firefox, but also for opening links in new background tabs), so I use a mouse with three buttons but no wheel (Sun Type 6 Crossbow USB—I prefer the Type…

We'd be remiss not to mention Linux, which has one particularly famous (and awesome) middle click shortcut: if you middle click in a textbox, you can paste text from the clipboard in just about any app. It's pretty darn handy!

Digital gauge? Looks very out of place. It's not even trimmed to match the rest of the cluster.

The grinder may be the most important or at least the most underrated piece of equipment for making coffee, and a good burr grinder is the way to go. When I got an espresso machine, I did a bit of research on grinders, and found that the general opinion among espresso snobs at the time was that the Baratza…

Perhaps slightly easier/quicker and thus more likely to be used (by certain people) because you only have to open it to retrieve items, not to put them in (although you can't organize items when putting them in)...but basically a drawer, yes. Sort of like some mailboxes, with an open slot on the front and a door on…

Sadly, IE6 is not dead yet.

There's a strange anachronism to this installation. It looks like mainframe vacuum column tape drives, but the mechanisms on top look like audio reel-to-reel players, and not cassettes...

CVC 21658(a) states "...as nearly as practical...until such movements can be made with reasonable safety." When it is not "practical" to be in a single lane, or when movement across lanes can be done "with reasonable safety", it is not a violation of CVC 21658(a) to split or cross lanes. I agree that "Safe and prudent…

What I linked to starts with "Lane splitting in a safe and prudent manner is not illegal in the state of California."

It's tough to control such a big bike at such low speed, but it is possible.

Lane splitting not illegal in CA.

It's important to note that emails sent between Gmail and non-Gmail users will remain unencrypted. What has been announced is that your connection to Gmail will be HTTPS (encrypted) and that connections between computers within the Gmail network will be encrypted. The wording of the Gmail blog entry also seems to…

I think I replied to your reply too early in the morning and didn't quite get what you were saying. It has as much space as it does, where it does, because it reduced the components that would give it range/speed. This is true (neither the Zero S nor the Honda NC700 has as much storage space in the gas tank area as…

I agree that it's silly and overpriced. I was just pointing out some motorcycles that better do what this motorized bicycle is supposed to (and what you were pointing out as its flaws). Maybe it makes sense for someone, but generally all of its features are done at least as well by some existing vehicle, and with a…

I was going to nominate Jeff Lane, if his museum qualifies as a garage (he does occasionally drive the cars on display).

The 2014 Zero S (electric motorcycle) has a removable trunk instead of a gas tank, but will only get more than 150 mile range with an extra battery instead of the trunk and in "city" riding conditions.
