Held pressure overnight. Piece of contamination in the valve core that temporarily held it open? (it's getting new valve stems at the next tire change, which will be soon regardless)

It's possible. Valve stem is original and therefore 21+ years old. It's one of those things I've thought of replacing, but never had that thought at the same time as actually doing the tires. It's going to happen this time.

Could have done better today. Odd-feeling steering turned out to be low rear tire pressure, which wasn't low a few days ago, so there must be a puncture. I limped it home, added air, sprayed tire with soap and water ... can't find the leak. Tire is about two-thirds done, so if this turns out to...

That was quite the race-long battle ...

Maybe worth considering. https://www.moodys.com/web/en/us/about-us/usrating.html

Of course. And this is probably why the safety benefit isn't as much as one might think it would be. In my car, I set cruise control in speed-camera zones.

I am OK with requiring justification for community safety zones. I can point to several ridiculous ones. As for the prevalence of speed cameras, go drive in the UK or Australia ...

My portfolio is +/- even relative to 6 months ago, even though i'm drawing an income, but that's after doing some rebalancing to reduce cross-border risk. I don't think the cross-border risk is all in yet, either.

Yes BUT. The charging system voltage has to deliver 14.4 volts to charge them properly. Most modern charging systems designed for sealed maintenance-free batteries will do that, but some old skool systems designed for the old batteries with fill caps do not. A charging voltage in the 13s will...

Slide this sideways into a ditch out in the boonies, and you'll need a Sikorsky to get it out.

I'm out. First track day of the season coming up, and I need to get ready. Bit cold, too.

Standards exist for a reason. Imagine what would happen if they didn't exist. A Ford Model T had different controls from a curved-dash Oldsmobile and both were different from what became the modern layout of instruments and controls. Imagine if roads had no rules, no standards. Works when there...

That CMVSS lighting standard has been in place for decades.

It will be your first bike in the eyes of the insurance company. Also, your path of having the seller in Quebec be responsible for anything, is a recipe for disaster. If they cover up, or don't know about, a critical issue (e.g. something in the bike's history that prevents it from being...

Watch Supersport race 2 from Cremona if you've not seen it yet. Wow.

Friday practice from Cremona. No surprise from Nicola Bulega. Bautista fast but fell three times. Axel Bassani!! Locatelli may have won last round, but in free-practice, the Yamahas didn't do well. Jonathan Rea is riding again, but clearly still hurting.

Crank windows inevitably mean there's an option for power windows. Means the mechanism inside the door is different, and the door trim panel is different between the two. Means you need to tool up for two different door designs. Means either the wiring harness is different or (usually) it's...
