    I just found out that buried in the news of the 26 bike crash of Brother Speed on Friday afternoon, the Washington County (Oregon) sheriff's office reports that 59-year-old Frederick E. Erhardt died in a single motorcycle crash at about 1:40 p.m. on Northwest Laidlaw near the intersection of...

    Nolan N102, like it?

    I've had an N-102 for years, and I love mine. If I had to get a new helmet, I'd go with the N-103 because of the internal sun visor rather than the exterior one.

    Why do cops allow such loud bikes?

    In Oregon, the threshold is a lot higher than most would believe. I worked an event years ago with the City noise control officer with a sound meter, and we stopped nearly 2 dozen bikes. I thought all 24 bikes would have easily failed, but only 10 of them did. As a result of others experiences...

    Riding Across America

    I took a trip from Portland to Virginia round trip a couple years ago, and your route is similar to mine. Here are my suggestions: While you are right there, I would suggest going to Devil's Tower, WY. From your route, off Hwy 16 in Newcastle, WY, head north on Hwy 85 through Black Hills...

    Don't buy a Zumo 550 or 660 anymore

    Considering most people view the 660 as the 450's replacement, it stands to reason that a newer version, possibly a 770 will be released to replace the 550.

    Forest Rat Dead, Bike Dead, Rider OK

    If this is going to happen, this is how it should happen. One less forest rat, one safe rider. Glad you're ok buddy.

    What's missing in this picture?

    I was going to go for the more obvious and say "The Rider", but I suppose a missing axle nut/bolt (don't want to get into the brewing political battle over the term :) ) is more important.

    Didn't know him, but Ed and others that knew Andre, my thoughts are with you!

    Any Reason to not buy an '06 model?

    The transmission has some subtle changes too. Nothing to write home about though. 06-09 are essentially same bike, up to your tastes mostly.

    Megan Fox is hideous

    I thought she looked like a collagen inflated whore in Transformers 2. But, every woman in that movie looked like a ****.

    local Portland area shop for gear

    Dr Browns motorcycles, 118 NE 16th Avenue. It is a hole in the wall, and Gene (owner) can be grumpy sometimes, but he has GREAT deals and he really is a great guy (former racer). That's where I got all the parts for my new transmission.

    Computer gurus out there?

    I know how to manipulate and find stuff in Excel. I just want a quick, easy, open program that I click into, start typing, and it displays the contact info. Be it in Access, or SQL, I don't care. Doing CTL+F works, sure, but then there's the potential for the others in the office to mistakenly...

    Computer gurus out there?

    I have roughly 2400 contacts in my phone, with most of them provided by the City. I want to have those contacts on my desktop as well in a program where I can just start typing a first or last name and it will highlight all contacts that match what I'm typing. I had this feature in my Palm...

    Michael Jackson is dead!

    It's too bad about Michael. What a thriller the media accounts of his death are! He was about to be startin' something.... I wonder if he decided to stop because he had enough? Before he died, I wonder if the doctors were looking at the man in the MRI? Thankfully, they didn't take him to a...

    Firefox Personas

    I saw a few that had that problem too. The one I'm using now changed the colors of the bookmarks toolbar to enhance the contrast, thus, works great and looks good too.

    Firefox Personas

    For those of you that don't know what Firefox Personas are, here is a screen shot on my wife's Mac, but it works on Windows too. This one is of Oregon's Crater Lake. What I'd like is an FJR on the right side of the screen. Click Image to Enlarge
