    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    re: brake lights on doesn't mean stopped. The static snapshot of the vehicle with the brake lights on and not in the intersection is one of the two photos provided (the other is of the vehicle approaching the intersection). Brake lights on, in a static pic can equate to "vehicle stopped". Would...

    Red light camera ticket for turning right

    Adding to the saga ........... I was also the recipient of the similar "surprise" in the mail, a red light camera ticket! "Surprise" because it wasn't me that was driving the vehicle - however it is registered in my name, so I have to deal with it. The wording: The photographs show the vehicle...

    HD demo ride

    no 18 wheeler on site, the gal incharge of the paperwork was a rider instructor (instructress?), the peeps leading the demo rides were not H-D staff - so I am guessing that this may have been a "dealer demo". The head honcho was a guy from the dealership named "Mike".

    HD demo ride

    The HD dealership at Dixie Auto Mall had their demo ride today. The only bike that did not have the feet-forward riding position was the new 975cc Nightster. It was the bike that I chose for the ride, It rode and accelerated well, I was able to keep up with the 1300cc bikes. Surprisingly smooth...

    Quick Shifter

    IMO, depends on your riding style. Had ridden the BMW S1000 equipped with a QS and was impressed by the way it improved rideability, acceleration times and to take corners. My current bike does not have a QS, but with timing the engine speed and throttle, I can do a clutch-less shift, it is a...

    A frugal comms set up...

    Any chance of someone sharing what the universal signals are? (illustrations would be nice!) This way, the newer riders will know and the more experienced riders will be on the same page.

    Aliexpress

    Ordered a oil-fill cap from AE, cost me $25 vs a store price of $60, the quality of the item was the same and the order delivery tracking matched that of Amazon. It was delivered in 12 days vs the ETA of 15 days. Also, was not dinged by custom broker fees. AE used a courier outfit "Apple" for...

    Home office

    India, used to be the go-to for offshoring. That country now has rivals in the Phillipines, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt. IMO, offshore support is largely "reading from a supplied script", nothing to match the "can do" attitude of onshore support and no way do the offshore match the cultural ethos...

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    Issues: - Had to blow the manufacture installed WIN 11 and re-install from MS Cloud. This was coz I couldn't partition the disk to the size I wanted as the said manufacturer dumped the WIN 11 image right in the middle of the disc instead of at the begining. They are aware of this problem and...

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    WIN 7 was a good release. With WIN 11, MS is playing the Mac game i.e. bringing in hardware specs for O/S eligibility - before, the key word was "recommended", now it is "must have".

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    GG has aptly summarized the answer to your question. In short, after-market anti virus programs are a roll of the dice. None of my machines run any of these programs.

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    Banking? Then you definitely need a computer that will receive security updates. As of Oct 2025 (or Oct 2026, if you pay for the extended support), computers running WIN 10 will stop receiving updates. Based on your stated usage, you may want to (a) check if your current machine can be upgraded...

    Are you switching to Windows 11?

    Once upon a time you could run Windows with 2GB RAM, the latest iteration requires 16GB RAM. Linux requires less, you can get away with 4 GB to 8 GB RAM. That being said there is a reason why most companies operate their IT on Linux based platforms - stability and inherent security.
