Alpinestars’ Tech-Air Street and Tech-Air 5 are around $700 and don’t require subscription services. HIT-Air and Helite vests are even less expensive. Add in some D3O Ghost armor in your riding pants and you should be good to go.

The parallel you tried to draw doesn’t make any sense. The airbag vest is not an integral safety component of the motorcycle while steering wheel airbags and seat belt locks are to a car. A riding vest is not mandatory, it didn’t come with the motorcycle nor was it touted as a safety device by the motorcycle…

Details Mathers.

Says the guy who misspelled marshal.

You’re right, individuals do not necessarily move for the same reasons that a corporation does but one of the top factors that compel individuals to move out of any state is cost of living, and taxes (income, real estate, and sales) are a main component of that factor.

You’re unfamiliar with CA personal income taxes. CA is arguably the most aggressive state when it comes to taxation. If you’re a 1099 and never set foot in CA but take on a project for a company based in CA they’ll tax you. If you’re a part-year resident they’ll tax you on worldwide income for the period you’re in CA.…

Who the hell banged your wife and pinched a loaf on your side of the bed this morning? Why TF are you being such a twat waffle?

KTM’s website talks about this bike’s daytime running lights making you “visible to other road users” so it appears that this is indeed a street-legal machine.

You missed the part where I said that he didn’t back off. A proper PIT maneuver would not have continued to push and gone under the truck the way it did. Watch videos of PITs - many of the cars do in fact flip over. As for your “seemingly minor contact” comment , look at the Hellcat’s front. It was not minor contact,…

Seemingly minor contact? Highway speeds? What the hell are you even going on about? The Hellcat basically performed a PIT maneuver on the pickup but didn’t back off and kept plowing forward, flipping the truck. 

Wrong, not ALL flights that can be covered by train in less than 2.5 hours are banned. The routes mainly affected are expected to be from Orly to Rennes, Lyon, Bordeaux & Nantes, and Lyon to Marseilles. Connecting flights to/from CDG will not be affected.

I was caught up in the December 2019 train strike. The TGV, RER,…

4-5hr round trip commutes are indeed absurd, but not unheard of at all. Ask those people commuting to SF from Sacramento or Contra Costa County or from Orange County to LA, just to name a few.

Yeah, not white. She claimed she was Dr. Dre’s daughter. Her name is Ashely Tamika Greenwade.

According to news reports this morning the Sheriff concluded that Woods was speeding at around 83mph in the 45 zone, and that the SUV gained speed just as he lost control of it. 83mph is fast on a freeway, and stupid crazy fast on a local road with twists and undulations.

Homicides are the taking of life of another, period. Manslaughter is a form of homicide that doesn’t involves malice aforethought. In this case I would guess the idiot didn’t intend to kill someone with his stunt so that this recklessness may well fall under involuntary manslaughter.

There are canal pilots. They act as consultants to the captain, advising them of what to do, what to look for, where to steer, etc. The captain is still controlling the vessel though, unlike harbor pilots who tend to take over the controls of the vessel.

I’ll take whore ads for $400 Alex.

Like these? I never was a fan of this design myself.

The man might be in the UK as chav is a Euro term. And, seeing his name, this just might be the case. All that you describe does not really exist there.

Cream cheese and jelly combo was a standard for me growing up (NYC).
