    Tony Stewart kills another driver on dirt track

    I think this, combined with this: "Stewart only returned to sprint track racing last month" would explain what happened. He wanted to razz the kid, but being off for around a year, he probably misjudged the throttle by a fraction.

    Top 10 Sci-Fi films of all time

    I think you may quite enjoy Snowpiercer, based on the films you've listed. There are some rather thoughtful questions and statements about us as individuals and as a society (along with the violence and distopian future). The interaction between the protagonist and antagonist near the end of...

    EXTREMELY GRAPHIC. Please don't watch if you are faint of heart!

    Israel and Hamas have had quarrels for almost a decade. Israel and Egypt can and have been crippling Gaza with economic sanctions for almost that long. Why would Israel go postal on a bunch of poor people NOW? Why would Israel drop 24hr notices to their enemy for air raids, and then provide...

    Emergency breaking - How not lock up the rear?

    Putting some thoughts into theoretically answering the question: As was mentioned, squeeze your knees against the tank. With the leverage of the tank, use your core muscles to focus your weight down and back into the seat, and your upper leg muscles to force your heels into the foot peg. NOTE...

    Emergency breaking - How not lock up the rear?

    Rossi: "I always brake very much with the front, road or track. I would say I use 80 percent the front and 20 percent the rear. Really, you only stop the bike with the front brake. You use the rear just a little, to keep the bike stable. The difference between the track and the road is this...

    2009 KLX 250 trouble starting

    I drilled the starter jet with the 0.018”. It helped with cold starts (not sure about the warm start problem), but it's not perfect. I read somewhere that a 0.02" might be better. Where ever you buy the 0.018", you might consider picking up the 0.02 as well, just in case. And in case it...

    The "Sag" look

    Me thinks it started as a socio-economic thing: younger brother got the older brother's hand me downs, but the older brother is cool to the younger crowd, so the younger brother is automatically cool for wearing them, even if too big. It happened often enough to become a status norm for the...

    Paintball

    Paintball City can be a rush with the right crowd; there aren't many safe spots to control a lane, since most spots have multiple angles of exposure. Granted the field FPS limit is a little low, but it's ok for the proximity. Play pistol and up the fun.

    TWO TYPES OF RIDERS - the kind that's been down, and the kind that's goin' down!?????

    A motorcycle is inherently unstable. Any environmental inconsistency can take advantage of that. You can spend your entire motorcycle career keeping a careful watch for these inconsistencies, but don't expect your riding to be fulfilling. To enjoy the freedom of two wheels, you have to put a...
