..oh, and a bit of Wagner in the evenings.

If you listen to music while riding, then how do you hear the release of nox cannisters and revving of Hemi's fading behind you as you overtake them? Personally, the weeping of my enemies and the lamentations of their women is all the music I need.

It was moral panic after that cab driver was killed on mount pleasant by a couple of kids racing. Were the kids going too fast, certainly. Do cab drivers roll into intersections, a lot. The prosecutors framed it as a rich justice vs. poor justice thing, and the AG saw it as the moment to hop on...

There is probably a function for describing it that incorporates force (kw) on the mass of the bike and rider (~400kg) x some coefficient for drag and momentum (p) for values less than t=3.4s and s=27.7m/s. You could use this to infer the instantaneous acceleration at a given point, but your...

The guy who was not arrested and is alleged to have been a part of this group should lawyer up, asap. His "buddies" probably didn't know him. He was just some guy, and under all that gear, who knows who he was? If it turns out they were acquainted, friends don't know each others' plates...

For most of the season, my bike seemed to be getting incredibly poor mileage and I posted about it here a few months ago. I was getting only like half of what was specified in the manual (~4.5L/100km depending on hwy vs. city). I was worried that one of the cylinders wasn't working, or that I...

Yeah, got taken in by that as well. What you might like is this: http://www.dieselmotorfiets.nl/ Designer jeans, meh. Not serious.

Re: Eric Lai, "Why ‘lane-splitting’ in a motorcycle is just asking for trouble" I see nothing wrong or even dangerous about passing between two cars that are not in a staggered position on the road, specifically if they are driving at less than the speed of traffic. Most early mornings on the...

Just to confirm details: It was Saturday Aug 25th, morning? - What mall? (intersection) - Description of car these guys got out of? Is there perhaps a coffee shop in this mall that would be worth popping in to? It sounds like just the sort of place to go and politely mind one's own business.

Gadzooks, /b-tards! "we will have over 9000 motorcycles doing 50 over pointed directly at your minivans..." But seriously, I see complaints about bikes "zipping by" at 150km/h, but before the HTA 172, that was the average speed of a Mercedes or BMW on a 400 series hwy. Actual speed limits...

Hey man, someone forgot to tell you that it's actually windscreens that are for wussies. At some point, a big bike just begin to resemble a crappy convertible. Might as well be driving a Miata. ;)

Any border issues with shipping your bags separately? I've fedex'ed bags within the US, but never across a border. It costs a bit extra, but it was totally worth it. I was thinking of riding down after shipping a suitcase to my destination in new york.

Own it, dude. Some of my best friends are rednecks, and I particularly like their womenfolk. Anyway, the joke was the equivalent of having George Takei (aka Sulu) or Jackie Chan explain that someone must be white trash because respectable Canadians don't behave that way. It's unexpected and...

Actual racism is considered such a ghetto attitude that anyone using racist language earnestly so completely discredits themselves that the alleged "victim" can't take them seriously. As they say, "It's not what they call you, it's what you answer to." It's probably a sign that we have less...

This was the story of two men in a lethal confrontation. One avenging the accidental death of his child, one having to defend his life. That one was a cop is secondary. What the cop did right was to not pull the gun immediately as a way to control the situation, since the father would have...

Withdrew consent after dealing with someone who needed an organ who was a total d1ck.

Rode in LA after only a few months of riding experience. I was too green to get out on the twisties. I went the other way. People spend their lives in their cars there, so they know how to drive. You can get a sense of a culture by their traffic, as it's all people by themselves who think...

Sunrise to 6:30am, King Sideroad between Weston and Hwy 27 (nobleton). Probably want to do it on a Sunday.

Midlife crisis is what people say when they are jealous, threatened or afraid. When my ex suggested I didn't really want to do fun things and that I was just going through a midlife crisis, I told her that when she turned 40 I was allowed trade her in for two 20yr olds. Hence, ex. Never stop.
