This is what happens when you call the cops.

How many gears do you need? That depends on the power curve of the engine you are gearing. The further apart the torque and power peaks are within the rev range of the engine, the fewer you need. The closer they are, the more you will need. For example, a steam engine needs no gears, but a peaky 2 stroke bike will…

Thurlow used to make the best gloves in the world out of deerskin, and the panel over the back of the thumb was always suede side out to make a wiper. I miss seamless palm Thurlows.

Give him a break. He could be a cop.

He’s the perfect combination of stupidity and authority.

No, never a windshield, I like my bikes naked. If I need a wiper my left index finger does the job.

How do you find water in PA? Cut open any hillside, water will fall out. We’re well hydrated here in NEPA, too.

I hate Billy Joel even more than the fuckin’ Eagles, man.

Give it a try sometime. It’s a hoot.

I never liked RainX - It seems to make light mist worse for me, without really making proper rain any better. IMO, YMMV, etc.

Exactly. I like riding in the rain, and water on the outside of the shield hasn’t been a concern. Fog on the inside, or even worse, spray and drips on the inside - That’s the problem.

The crew of the Squalus was rescued from 240 ft. in 1939. It’s an amazing story.

I don’t like polarized glasses on motorcycles because they do stop glare. The glare from that wet spot at the apex. The glare off that piece of black ice. The glare from tar snakes. They just mask too much info about the pavement for me.
I go for a dark shield or my dark prescription glasses. When the sun gets real…

Polarized glasses and motorcycles are a bad combo, because they mask the glare of spots of low traction (ice, oil, water, tar snakes, etc) that would otherwise show up well. IMO.

Lemme fix that for you.

...or get a job with Mojica.

Yes, you are correct sir!
Light weight is what makes a car fun. The most fun car I’ve had was my 1698# Ford Fiesta Mk1, with all of 70hp, and tiny little tires.

Glad you’re ok.
In my experience (splitting around NYC, so not legal no matter what) splittling the outside seams on a multi-lane is less safe than the middle seams. I’m not sure why - It could be that in the middle people know that there is a car next to them, an so are more likely to take a proper look before…
