By that logic, we should make it such that nobody can change lanes except at special, designated spots. Imagine the clusterfcuk that would cause (those designated merge zones area already a nightmare, especially if you're stuck behind some idiot Corolla doing 20 under the limit, as they all do)...

I prefer my intelligent method for discrimination: More competent drivers are permitted to use lefter lanes, and incomptent idiots in Corollas shall stay to the right. You get specific licenses for usage of the lefter lanes, and the default usage is for the righter ones. Middle lane usage is...

Yes, and only YOU were in heaven during that PanAm Games fiasco. The rest of the city was dying. Existential proof that HOV lanes aren't a viable global solution. No, I would not support HOT lanes, nor do I like the 407, for the very same reason that it is preferential treatment for those who...

HOV lanes don't work. Nobody on Planet Earth makes the mistake of altering their lives just so they can take advantage of two car trips. They make that mistake once, only, and then realize that the convenience of having your own personal transportation outweigh the benefits of being stuck behind...

Normally I'm all about the motorcycling posts of your adventures, Gene, but I really liked this post despite it having no motorcycling in it. I'm saddened by the mistreatment that you describe taking place elsewhere and am glad sanctuaries like this exist.

Yep, we all see that now.

How far behind is this blog, anyway?

YES! This happens so frequently I find, too! You sometimes have to choose between enjoying the scene for yourself and deciding to photograph it for others, or even stopping to do both (which is more of the latter than the former), and for me more necessary, as shooting with a giant DSLR with a...

I have that same Swiss Army Knife. My grandfather gave it to me back in 1994. I wear it to this day and it can't stop coming in super handy. I hope it serves you just as well.

Exactly zero, unfortunately. This thread is more of an obituary one.

Drunk checkers is the best. They say that if you beat the border guards at it, they'll let you roam around the country for as long as you want. You become like family to them.

With six spare days, why didn't you head back to Norway?

I found that when I was on my expeditions I didn't really have time to laze around and get fat. It's the opposite (undernourishment) you should be more worried about.

My favorite part of this thread lately has been all the times I get an e-mail with a thread update and I get all excited thinking I get more of what makes this story great, but it turns out it's just a bunch of people asking irrelevant questions that should be asked in private messages instead.

Mathematics shows that if you're over enough and your leg is long enough you can knee down at any non-90 degree angle. But being on a distant trip in the middle of nowhere and crashing your bike is not something high on a priority list that's reasonable, and having been there myself and even...

Update: All these years and 62,000 km later, my mount is still functioning excellently. I may have had to unscrew and re-screw on one bead one time. The mount itself has never given me trouble.

Nobody does California Route 36. It's the best kept secret in North America, hands down. Better than the Tail of the Dragon.

Exactly what you think they are. The right side bracket DOES NOT have the mount for the OEM exhaust pipe, so these pegs are more suitable for people with some kind of aftermarket/shorty exhaust pipe. Used, but fully functional. $35 OBO, I'm reasonable.

Touché, even released prisoners miss their friends still stuck on the inside ;)

Why would anyone return back to Canada after leaving it for places like Europe, or some parts of Central America? If living in a dull, flat, frozen Arctic Tundra nightmare of a country where fun is banned across the lands by law while getting shafted by a population who are terrified of anything...
