I agree, but this goes hand-in-hand with a sense of dignity. By stripping away benefits from people at risk, I think you disrupt the dignity these people need to then value their lives, and make better choices going forward. It's a hard balance between the system being a landing pad for those...

I guess my thing is that it's a pretty major investment, especially for my 11-year-old car that I'm not sure is going to see too many more winters. I'm going to run all-seasons on my old '01 Accord but just put full winters on my wife's Subaru. In town I don't find snow tires as essential, but...

A few years ago, I would've been right with everyone else in this thread. I've been steadily employed since age 14, have a good job now, and have worked my tail off to be where I am. However, it does seem a lot tougher these days. A family friend is 20 and has had a heck of a time gaining ANY...

I just bought snowshoes. Bring on the snow!

He could at least dress his Vanilla Ice-wannabe self in a suit. Even a gaudy pimp-like one with a shiny purple shirt. For f's sake.

I had Shad cases on my last bike. They were decent, and a bit cheaper than Givis, but it's harder to find 'fit kits' or compatible base racks with Shad luggage systems. For the new bike, the top rack was available but not the side racks - and I was broke - so I sold off the complete set. If...

http://youtu.be/6Y9BukEBI9c Someone had to dig it up. It's a great quote even if you're not a misogynist.

I haven't done much personal travel. I went to work straight away after university, bought a house not long after, and have been busy and/or broke since. I have been fortunate to go some pretty cool places through work - rural England, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Istanbul. I thought...

Well that's just, like, your opinion, man...

Wouldn't say it's a bad deal at all. You might at some point find them cheaper (and you could sure do a lot for $600 used) but that's always how it goes.

We're talking about Justin Bieber here. I'm straight and married. Even if I were into doods, c'mon.... we're talking about Justin Bieber. Please tell me there's other dudes you'd rather get busy with than the 'biebs, Mr. Swag 24/7, who tattoo'd Believe to his forearm to commemorate the new...

Just wondering, do older Paradigms sound a lot like newer ones? I have Mk 1 Titans (hooked up to an old NAD 7220) and I wouldn't say they're edgy. (And for the price paid, they make quite a tandem.) I'm trying to remember the newer Atoms I had and if they were too tinny/harsh... You're quite...

A local shop had Monitor 7's in an uncommon color (birch?) for $500 a while back. I think MSRP is $800 or so. I've heard that the Monitor 7's are good speakers. The Monitor 7 has one 5-1/2" driver whereas the Monitor 9 has two. A sub could make up the difference I bet. If you're starting...

I've gone down Forks of the Credit twice on my new-to-me VFR with a two bros slip-on. I was going the speed limit and keeping the revs down. Both times there were 3 cruisers parked all along the road. No issue at all - with the locals or the cops.

Not really, and for a young successful guy he could be way worse. I like that he comes back to Stratford fairly often and brings publicity to the area. I also wouldn't turn down the money. I do think that when a young man becomes rich and an icon to young girls overnight, it's difficult to...

If you really like touring and want luggage and comfort, the bike that comes to mind is a V-Strom. The only potential issue there is seat height - it would be better suited to a taller rider. Maybe the X version of the CB500 would be suitable too. I bet you could really improve your bike's...

This is such a missed marketing opportunity. If I were with Joe Rocket, Alpinestars, Teknic, Dainese, or any other brand, I'd FedEx him a complete set of riding gear and ask him to wear it so that he's safe on the road. If I were Keith Code I'd totally offer him a free run in the California...

Yes and yes.

That's exactly how I see it too. Wouldn't rush to go buy one, but make it cheap and I'd take one. ...once my 2001 Accord finally kicks the can, which could take a while :) Low resale's really just an opportunity in disguise - if it comes with reliability and parts availability.

Congrats! I'm from those parts. Was lots of fun insuring my NX2000 at age 17, full coverage, for $730 annually, and not having tickets count against insurance. It would be awesome to have the RC51 out there, but... I don't think there's a road course in the province, and the best you could do...
