Mitzy Dupris ........................... She could smoke a cigarette .................................... oops, same as you, never mind.

Brilliant! This must assume that you've not just peed and you've got enough piss to fill the hole (which he should have stated was a water tight tube). The fork, wrench and the wire was a decoy, unless you consider that the pee is damaging to the tube. Another possibility (if there was a hole...

I totally agree. But then, it's these sorts of goofy myths that "Mythbusters" love. It makes good press and it's entertaining for the guys who do the show and for the people who watch them. BTW, I can lift myself off the ground in your example. I've got Pixie Dust in the buckets. :bleh:

Didn't see that one. Can you point me to that discussion?

These things always intrique me, not so much the physics of it, but rather, the types of responses and beliefs that arise from it. In my view, the whole point of the conveyer belt is to negate airspeed. If it wasn't for that, why do it at all? It's just like if you put an airplane in a wind...

I always get sucked into these things. The premise of the conveyer belt is that the plane is held stationary relative to the ground the conveyer is bolted to. As more thrust is applied the conveyer belt speeds up so the plane remains in the exact same place relative the ground the belt...

It turns out that my FJR uses the same size of filter that my Honda Fit uses. I can get the PURE ONE Purolator just down the street. Pure ONE is one of the top rated oil filters and is convenient for me to get. The Yamaha dealer that I'll buy from is on the other side of town. I've never...

Not to take anything away from the motor officer's skills because they ARE impressive. A little true story. In 1997, I entered in the World Police Fire Games held here in Calgary. I (Fire Dept.) entered in the "over 1000cc" category in the competition you see in the vid. The course was...

The Can Am Spyder was my first choice before getting back into motorcycling after a 7 year leave of absence. It looked unique and "seemed" to be more convenient to operate. Then I looked at the dynamics of it and realized that it would be like riding a snowmobile or a quad at speed. With...

There should be 3 clear plastic strips per side. 2 to protect the paint around the top slots where the side bag hooks into and 1 for the slot on the underside where the lock mechanism turns into. My dealer installed them very poorly on just one side. Whoever did it had filthy fingers and left...

I've seen the thread where people have punched holes in their stock screens. Is this CB good enough without the holes or do you think it would benefit from the holes. I've also seen the reports from people who have the Vstream and one fellow indicated he gets a lot of head buffetting...

This one really appeals to me. Does the smoked undervisor easily flip up while riding? I can't quite tell from the links you put up, but the does the clear outer visor flip up independently from the whole chin piece? In other words, can I run with just smoked part or the clear shield or both...

I am impressed with your sense of curiosity. Not many people would bother. Being a Cannuck and having the Calgary Stampede every year to remind us, a travois is not too far in our past. We used to have this old guy made up to look like a gold miner from the turn of the last century. Every...

That's an embarrassment. BMW people don't seem to hesitate to do whatever they can to make their bikes look ugly and just plain weird. Do we have to do it to our great looking bikes? Geez, let me know when you're coming my way so I can go another route. Why not just drag a travois behind...

I asked about importing an Ariel Atom to Alberta. It's like a "Catch 22". The Feds will NOT allow the importation of a "kit car" or any parts thereof, however, the Alberta Soliciter General WILL allow the registration of such a vehicle. If you can get it here, you can register it, but you...

Mine is purchased. Just waiting for it to clear Canada Customs.
