Make it more expensive to learn how to drive a car. And then, actually require people to learn how to properly drive a car. I bet more people would ride if they weren’t afraid of how pathetically simple it is for automobile drivers to get on the road.

I always wondered about Derby Days as it happened even at UCSC. Which, somewhat famously, doesn’t have an official Greek system (or at least didn’t for a long time, I haven’t kept up).

Does the membership come with a pill or salve to alleviate the crushing guilt of supporting a toxic company that treats its employees like garbage? Or is the $33 in savings supposed to somehow do that for you?

No one’s commenting that AdolfJoeBiden is a Twitter thing? That is so bizarre. I don’t even wanna see what else that account posts.

That’s a ridiculous argument. Most bikes can easily handle 3 panic stops in a row without noticeable brake fade. Even my dirt bike with a single piston caliper, single rotor, and a coffin reservoir can do this. Motorcycles should be engineered with redundancy. Even if it’s unlikely that you’d need to do three 60-o mph…

There’s a very popular barber shop for men here in Oakland that doesn’t take appointments, offers beer and/or whiskey while you wait, and boasts hour plus waits to get in a chair. All so you can get belittled by the manly barbers in the 15-20 minutes it takes them to give you a slight variation on the Hitler youth cut…

I like most of Hardy’s work. I was especially stoked to see him replace Mel Gibson as the re-imagined Max Rockatansky. Plus, he seems to have a great “zero fucks given” attitude. But I heard a rumor about him on the set of Fury Road that I really hope is not true. But is also not hard to believe coming from a dude…

Hmmm, maybe there oughta be some links here to some of the other Gawker site’s articles on Amazon’s corporate culture & working conditions. Somehow it makes these deals seem just not quite worth it.

Total aside, but my wife claims that happened to her too. I suspect there’s a “display” email, and an actual login email. Like you log in with Facebook, which is say, attached to your Yahoo account. But you fill in your saved info with the Gmail account you actually use. Meanwhile, sometime later you’re ordering…

I’ll admit that I probably finish less than 1/2 of the long form pieces on any of the Gawker sites. But this one was great. I think part of what drew me all the way to the end was they way you only hinted at your personal takeaway until the very end.

I don’t Uber if I can help it. But I would for this. WITNESS!

The problem is, if you “screw up” and kill someone in just about any other way, you usually get punished for it. I’m sorry, but being chased by paparazzi is not an excuse to drive recklessly and “accidentally” kill someone. If your state of mind was that messed up, you shouldn’t have been driving. But this is America,…

Not sure if you’re being serious here. The new Scrambler, the Monster— these are nice bikes, but “ultra high performance?” Not really. And let’t not forget the 350 & 500 twins of the late ‘70s/early ‘80s. Those are reputed to be straight up clunkers, aren’t they?

Multitools seem really useless to me. Pliers are the devil’s tool. They lead to stripped threads, mangled nuts, and all sorts of other bad news. That said, I totally understand that sometimes, especially when car camping, a dull knife that can barely cut paracord, a saw that functions only marginally better than…

I think I had nightmare once where I popped open a hood and saw something that looked thing that.

I took an SM school up here in NorCal that was on a dirt track, no asphalt. I’d say about half of the 10 or 12 participants crashed once or twice. I crashed the most (4 times I think). But I definitely learned a lot. I’d like to do a dirt/asphalt class sometime too.

Nice lede pic. Pretty much any Classified Moto custom will make me want to ride. All their bikes are drool worthy.

Ugh. V4 carbs can eat a bowl full of raw donkey dicks. OTOH, the carbs on my SV650 (V-twin) are super easy to remove and replace. They also give a satisfying “thunk” when they seat properly. A little WD40 on the carb boots help the carbs slide in I’ve found.

I feel like it has more to do with the fact that good at being a boss = good at being a sociopath. I’m a guy. I’ve had bosses that told me we needed to keep the front door open in the winter time, while it was raining, because people would think we were closed otherwise (Californians aren’t that dumb). This while he…

Yeah. I know about trials riding. Whether on pedal bikes or motorcycles, that shit is crazy. It’s like defying physics.
