The stock gel seat isn’t that bad. Considering this with the addition of a sheepskin. Huntington Beach to Golden Gate Park, then through Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, finish down the 395. 1088 miles just using I-5 to San Fran, or up the coast first for 1142 total. Google says just over 20 hours, but I think it would be a…

So, didn’t suede steering wheels start out in racing for the extra grip that it provides? And these were expected to be replaced as needed... Same for seats, it keeps the driver from sliding around in the seat. But again, replaced fairly frequently... So, because racecar, make it a premium “sport” option!

Notice in the first picture how all the bikes just fill up the street? Allow more lane splitting and sharing, and there will be more riders (once people adjust to being able to do so safely.) Being able to be at the front of a light here in SoCal makes it much safer between lights. Being able to get through gridlock…

But a motorcycle. And then take it to a nice curvy track. Or the Tail of the Dragon (NC), GMR/Malibu (SoCal), Mt Rainier (WA), etc. ;)

As far as I know, yes, you are liable for damages to the course, i.e. damaged barriers and such. I’ll point a friend who was an instructor there to this article for more info.

And to top it all off, he was hauled off wearing a NASA t-shirt. And now, he won’t ever bring another invention to school. This kid would rock at a science fair, but has already been beaten down by the very system that’s supposed to lift him up.

I had a similar experience, but with a much less exciting vehicle... When the transmission on the wife’s 2003 Mini Cooper (the CVT auto) started behaving badly (again - two prior replacement transmissions), we started looking at the Fiat 500e. While in the showroom, and finalizing what they’d give us for trade in,…

As with all situations of this type, if the car behind you is following closely enough that they can’t react and slow/stop when you do, they are following too closely. If you decide to hit the cat, that is your choice. If the guy behind you can’t stop if you have to, then he needs to back off some more, or he’s going…

I’m still amazed that EditPad Pro never gets a mention (or it’s free sibling, EditPad Lite)...

That’s a pleasant side effect. Another pleasant side effect is that filtering at lights reduces overall congestion for all.

Lane splitting is primarily a maneuver to a) avoid being rear ended in slower traffic, b) continue rolling so the bike maintains active balance, and c) maintain airflow over the rider to avoid overheating. It gets really hot sitting in the sun on tarmac in full gear.

I’d vote for the 1991 BMW 3 series 1.8l 4. That little motor was so much fun, and in a two-door was almost as good a car as the M3. Not as powerful, but on a nice road where balance matters those cars could fly.

I know, this is a late replay, but the Duc Diavel has the sprocket outside the swingarm, not between the swingarm and the wheel.

You can know basic car control and still get in over your head on that track quickly. Like the guy was saying, there are bumps that you can’t see, and if you are braking too late and go over one of those it will quickly unsettle the car - ie toss the car - right off the track. There many are other tracks with similar…

Since this bike is NOT for street use, then the gentleman’s agreement doesn’t stand... That agreement was for road-going vehicles (like the H2, not the H2R), and was technically only between automobile manufacturers... :D

My guess is that this is a turning point for Theon’s character, and that this scene was more about the effect it had on Theon that what it does to Sansa’s character. I suspect that very soon Sansa will be the one controlling Theon’s puppet strings, much to the disappointment and detriment of Ramsey...

My take - this will be “the thing” that turns Theon back towards the light, and from here (or soon) will back up anything Sansa asks of him. It’s unfortunate that the writer(s) found this to be a necessary part of the plot, though.

If you are looking for a rooftop tent, don’t forget that Bigfoot is right here in Huntington Beach just south of LA... my wife and I bought a cheap ‘93 Navajo and added a used Bigfoot tent as an emergency vehicle and occasional camper... Total cost so far just over $2k.

OMG, this gif just cracked me up beyond measure. Thank you!
