    Motorcycle Tire repair?

    Honestly, the results are mixed. Most of us do it. If I had the time and energy to remove the wheel to patch it, that would be ideal. Beyond that, plugs seem to work just fine. Every now and then someone has a leak or has to install a second plug, but that's pretty rare. Do whatever makes you...

    Ivan's ECU Flash

    Let's go GenII flash...I'm getting impatient. Like that takes much, or like anyone actually cares. Haha...

    Texting.....

    It's funny because it's not real. It is an extreme example of a solution to a stupid problem. Do I worry if people find it funny? Nope. However, I do worry about people who can't understand how in its context it is funny. It's like when Wiley Coyote used to shoot himself. Suicide is not funny. A...

    Which ADV Tourer? BMW GSA vs Super Tenere?

    Kind of a combo of all you mentioned. The GoPro never shows it correctly, but the deep parts are on hillsides, up or down, depending on which way we ride. The soil is soft, sand is in there, they get ridden, and after a rain, the running water erodes them. Actually, most of those eroded parts...

    Which ADV Tourer? BMW GSA vs Super Tenere?

    Here's a video of two buddies and I riding single track trails in Jemez, NM. A big bike wouldn't do well here but there's about 9 billion miles of forest road all through the area. Great for camping and just being outside. Anyway, at 3:04, turn it up. It was a good time to give Erick some...

    Ebike - new to the herd

    There's a decent published study that was actually done in the PNW. I don't remember if it was Portland or Seattle. Basically the question was: Will e-bikes offer any health benefit or just make the riders lazy. I don't remember all the specifics, but the jist was to give the test group e-bikes...

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    Why would anyone care what lane is speeding. You do know it's very easy to watch all 2 or 3 lanes at once? After that, with RADAR, it gets hard to target anyone but the super fast drivers passing anyone, so LASER comes into play. If I'm running LASER on a multi-lane highway, I'll hit each lane...

    Good news, bad news ...

    Umbrella girls Mac, umbrella girls. Jeez, what's wrong with you? Hahaha...I'm with the others here. Missing the racing wasn't as big of deal as you son getting to hang out with his dad. Glad you had fun.

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    Unlike that Wikipedia article, I don't think I saw any mis-truths in this one. It is very accurate and confirms everything I said. Mainly the LASER is sensitive to how it is aimed. A LASER mounted in a moving car will have a Hellavua time maintaining a split target fix. Maybe that cop blowing...

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    So this portion right here: "When used within a moving vehicle, the device measures the relative speed of the police and target vehicle. Police are required to follow the offending vehicle for 200 metres and have a certified speedometer, largely negating advantages of the device." Is partially...

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    Laser does not work from a moving vehicle. We haven't gotten the technology that far yet. Basically: The device sends out a beam to an object (car) that reflects it. It pulses at around 133,000 times per second. The unit measures the difference in distance from the first pulse to the last to...

    Radar Detectors for Long Distance Travel

    So, it takes around 3/10ths of a second to get a good speed reading off of a RADAR unit. The average person's reaction time is about 3/4 of a second, so by the time you see me and react, its WAY too late. Actually, jamming on the brakes simply helps confirm my speed estimation. Especially if a...

    What rack is this?

    WTF?!?! WHERE do you see welds? Am I missing something? Oh, and no idea where that rack came from. Maybe Garauld is on to something.

    In memorium...Richard Christensen

    I'm not sure exactly why, but I didn't even respond initially, because this just made me very sad. That's selfish, I know and I'm sorry. I just remember Rich being funny and just a good guy to hang around, and suddenly he's gone. These bother me more than they used to. Especially when the person...
