    Choosing tires via review

    Yea I do the same for cars and bikes. Read **** tons of owner testimonies and professional reviews to narrow the selection down to 2 or 3. Then go with whichever I can find the best deal on.

    Smart Phone Wallet

    I have one of these on pre-order: https://plastc.com/ Hoping the actual product will deliver on it's promises. If it does it'll seriously reduce the size of my wallet.

    Smart Phone Wallet

    I have a TUCCH wallet case from Amazon for my S7 Edge. It's nice but I stopped using it because I found it cumbersome. I might still use it on occasion but for every day it's kind of a pain. Also the cash pocket sucks because you have to fold your bills to get them in there. It offers really...

    Tank slapper... in a car?

    Yea my understanding of the term is that it's named after the motion of the handlebars on a bike during oscillation because it looks like it's slapping the tank. I know what it is in a car but I was asking why it's called a "tank slapper" and I was given that reason. Makes no sense to me so...

    Tank slapper... in a car?

    So I just heard the term "tank slapper" being used for the first time to describe a car losing control. Apparently the term is fairly common in car circles but I fail to see how it makes any sense. Is this one borrowed from the bike world? Gotta be right? One friend explained that fuel...

    3/4 of android phones/tablets/devices are at risk

    If you just want to upgrade away from version 5 I would say to ask a techie friend to root the phone and install a good custom ROM. Then ask him to disable root access and side loading.

    3/4 of android phones/tablets/devices are at risk

    iOS is not immune to malware. There's a bunch out there. But it probably is less susceptible than Android due to the reasons stated above. I can live with this level of security though. Just have to be careful like you--hopefully--would on a PC.

    Torque Wrench Calibration

    Completely agree. Also I find Mastercraft tools pretty good in general. If your job entailed the use of tools, Mastercraft would still get you by no problem despite not being the first choice. Their lifetime warranty is also pretty awesome. I snapped the drive head of a 1/2" breaker bar once and...

    Biker Cafe Idea - need some feedback from all of you

    Very similar threads have popped up from time to time in the past. So far none have come to fruition but it might be useful to find and speak with them about their experiences. I would check out a place like this, especially if races are being shown.

    TV shows currently watching

    I'm starting to feel the same way. It's been a great show but I'm not getting anything new out of it so it's pretty much just a downer now. I'll have to see how this season goes. Westworld I am loving so far!

    Next track day tire after the Dunlop Q3 that doesn’t necessarily need tire warmers

    They warm up very quickly which is one of the things I love about them. 1 to 1.5 laps on a warm track and they feel good to go (depending on the track and other variables). Sometimes I even start pushing halfway through the outlap.

    Next track day tire after the Dunlop Q3 that doesn’t necessarily need tire warmers

    I'd say the Q3 are pretty much as sticky as you'll get in the street tire class. Pirelli Supercorsas I've heard are a bit better but expensive. The Q3 lasts me about 4 bogie track days at intermediate pace. Hot temps set to ~31 front and 29 rear. Next up would be DOT tires. The D211 can be run...

    Time to get back on the road!

    You could also just wait to insure it in the spring if you buy it over the winter.
