As others have said, ease of play. When I am learning a track or a new game I tend to use that view. Once I have gotten better at the game, or at a track I like to switch to cockpit view as I like to make it more realistic, and add that extra challenge. Driving sims always have an issue of lack of real feedback, and…

The Kia versus Mercedes Benz, argument, at least in terms of how you put it, is not really relevant. They both meet the same standards, and a cheep helmet and an expensive helmet both meet the same standards. The difference in price comes down to other things. The standards are a bare minimum, that they have to meet.…

I have to imagine that a dirt bike is a little different than a street bike. I know dirt can be as hard if not harder than asphalt, but also it might not be.

When I lived in Germany I bought an Arai RX7-XX helmet, it’s too old to continue to use it (15yo now) but it is the best fitting helmet I have ever owned, and I love Arai quality. I had previously owned and Arai helmet here in the US, and am currently shopping for a new one now. My old US Arai helmet fit ok, but the…

I’ve always heard NEVER plead guilty, always at least try to fight it, the worst that will happen is that you will get what you would have gotten had you pleaded guilty. Makes sense to me, but every experience I have had in court has resulted in the later. First ticket I got in which I pleaded Not Guilty, the clerk…

I remember taking my car in for service, the old dealership had gone under, the company that bought it did not last long. When I bought my car they included vouchers for free service for 1 year. As they told me up front they want me to keep coming buy and if I trade the car in and they have a consistent service record…

Thanks for the link, very informative, but it only serves to prove my point. A point I was hoping I was wrong about.

Couldn't agree more! Even if it is the effect of a telephoto lens, ANYONE on a motorized craft ought to be well clear of anyplace swimmers are. He is clearly closer to shore than they are so that means other swimmers could be directly underneath him. A tragic accident just waiting to happen. It’s thoughtless dicks…

I grew up in Montana during the 70’s and 80’s. I remember as a child during the 70’s some massive sonic booms. Would never see anything, but at times it felt like it was doing a flyby. Not sure when they banned supersonic flights over land, but I do remember that in the 80’s and 90’s I never once heard a sonic boom.

Or you can just power your vehicle with Natural Gas, which a lot of trucking companies are already doing. It is clean, and you do not have the added expense of extracting it from what ever it is bound to. Lithium may rarely be found in pure form, but H2 is never found in pure form, thus it will always have the added…

Erik Buell is a genius at engineering, he is innovative, and creative. Unfortunately, as smart and creative as he is as an engineer, he does not have the business smarts to run a manufacturing company. As horrible as Hurley Davardsin was at restricting him, and controlling him, they also protected him from himself. On…

Sounds good, but I am skeptical already. I stopped reading almost ALL US motorcycle publications because they all seem to write with the assumption that motorcycling is a game of Russian Roulette. They pander to the safety Nazi’s with endless stories about safety. As I sit here the 3rd link from this story is “Know…
