I have 15 years riding experience and have tracked my bike 4 times, yet I still don’t consider myself a good rider. I’d say about 1/4 of people at a track day are actually really good riders. The rest of us are getting passed on the outside by some guy on a Ninja300 riding 2-up with his 10 year old daughter on the…

Meh, we just need to cut loose all our colonial possessions. Except Guam and Hawaii, because those have military value. Guantanamo, Puerto Rico, USVI, Samoa, etc should all just be cut loose.

Natural gas is cheap and renewables are competitive. Coal is losing out due to market forces. This is the way it should be.

Seems like the good guys with guns made prudent choices. We can hereby to rest the theory of the reckless do-gooder with a gun.

What happened to Philando Castille was a crime. I am disappointed that the NRA didn’t mobilize in support of his widow and the prosecution of the police officer.

You mean a state where only police and criminals have weapons? Like Chicago, IL.

Suppressor have a legitimate purpose: many gun ranges are experiences urban encroachment. These sporting clubs were built in rural areas and now those areas are getting built up. The new owners of these McMansions don’t like hearing the sounds of gunfire from the range they built their house next to. These assholes…

People like to beat the gun control horse, but as you have said no law designed to prevent violent people from owning firearms would have caught someone with no criminal history or no mental health history. This shooting is perfect fodder for advocates of confiscation and restriction.

What is more galling to me is the total failure of security. In a town with as many cameras as Las Vegas, it took several minutes to identify the location of a person unloading 30 round magazines and send in a police response? Hotel security and LVPD are objectively terrible at handling this sort of crisis.

I have 6 kids between ages 10yrs to 7mos. Here is what we did: we bought a 7 seat crossover for kid number 2. After kid number 5 dropped we moved to a Chevy Express 2500 12-passenger van. If you definitely wont be having more lids, get the damn minivan. If more kids is going to be a possibility, try to find full…

The issue I have with the whole LF execution is that LF didn’t really do much of anything. He just asked the right questions and dropped the right information to lead others to make certain decisions. That is is the beauty of LF, almost nothing can be traced back to him. Certainly, none of the other characters would…

If offered with a manual, this will be proof of a just and loving God.

I don’t think anyone wakes up in the morning thinking that they are going to rape somebody today. Most rapes are dates/causal encounters that cross the line.

This young man will never live without the cloud of this rape over his head. Every job interview, loan application, business venture is going to find this out.…

Well, if you are going to break the law why no go all-in...

That makes no sense, I-6 was the best engine!

I think I am the only one here who gets that its a Hellcat joke. We love you Ralph Gilles!

I’m trying to figure out what will happen with Littlefinger’s story arc. Sansa doesn’t want him around and even his advice to her isn’t needed because she is already at super-saiyan levels of planning. If I were LF, I would peace-out back to the Vale. Bunker up and let the North and Cersei duke it out, wiggle out of…

No doubt. if you rode your motorcycle 10k miles per year at an average fuel economy of 45mpg, at an average fuel cost of $3 per gallon, you would spend $667 on gas. If you drove those same 10k miles in your SUV getting 18mpg, you would spend $1667 on gas. Figure in $60 month in motorcycle insurance and a $180 per…

Buell had a few problems, one of which was HD management. HD didn’t want any product from Buell that might deviate from HD’s core demographics. Competing directly with Japan was a no-no. Also, HD forced Buell to buy motors from HD such that HD made big profit on the motors, but Buell had to maintain thin margins into…

The electra glides come in at about 750lbs. This is actually on par with other touring models. 799lbs for Goldwing, 794 lbs for BMW 1600GTL, Yamaha Star Venture 963lbs.
