I'm planning to be at Superburger for lunch, probably a slightly late lunch, in case anyone is wandering around in that area.

Weather radar has showers in the area. Grrr. I'm going to do a longer ride tomorrow instead. edit: aaand, it's raining. Out.

I'm in if it stays clear ... and that could go either way. (Already got rained on this morning)

I dunno about that. Speed cameras are universally despised ... except for the one you want them to put on "your" street.

Factory race bikes can have situations like this at the end of the bike's racing career. NVIS paperwork, "a little damage" ... there may be a whole lot of history, with lots of parts swapping involved. Ask questions ... lots of them. That bike may have seen a lot of hard use, and may have been...

The street sweeper needs a street sweeper. Trail of oil on FOTC Road near the village, both directions, ending at the broken street sweeper stopped at the side of the road, as of late this morning. The trail of hydraulic oil is highly visible and not too hard to avoid, although westbound you'll...

Google AI: 1 ChatGPT: 0 ChatGPT probably googled how to tell you the video wasn't fake.

Manufacturer who kicks the bucket completely after building a small number of half baked vehicles is a whole different situation.

My 1990 (model introduced in 1986) Yamaha FZR has the turn signal flash function built into a relay module with a bunch of other stuff. My 2004 Kawasaki has a simple dumb flasher relay. Fancier newer models are likely to have the lighting done through a multifunction control module.

25 000 per year manufacturing capacity in Canada. (Not sales!) Probably this is from last year, and that capacity is accounted for almost entirely by the GM Brightdrop commercial van. Now, this year, the Charger Daytona should account for a manufacturing capacity increase ... except that the...

House internet relies on Bell hardware. It's still down. Cell is with Rogers; that still works. Do they take turns breaking?

Breaker-points ignition? Points good? Condenser good? With key on, is there power to both sets of points? Rotate crankshaft -> do the points successfully interrupt power to the coil side of the circuit? With points open, what's the resistance of the primary side of the coil all the way...

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.
