The sites where MotoGP is of interest are busy as hell! The championship has been epic, and the last two races in Japan and Australia have been super intense. Phillip Island was tonight and there were several cracked fairings and rubber-to-leather incidents between the top riders and they all...
I had the pleasure of speaking with Petey three times and it was always a nice experience. But I never had the courage to invite myself along for a ride as I knew I'd be humiliated by my lack of skill.
I'm sure for those who knew him well this is a terrible loss - I'm grateful I had the chance...
There are interesting dynamics in this business. Out here in the west there are a lot of sunny days, but with real estate prices skyrocketing in California, we don't typically have large lots or roofs to install huge systems. My house is good sized but its two story so not a lot of roof area...
HRZ - another thing to look at is leasing instead of paying up front a huge sum, you pay monthly for the electricity the panels produce at a lower rate than from the grid. in this scenario its the company that wants to keep the panels and inverters in good shape since you pay them for the...
Great race in Misano last weekend! Sorry for those who aren't interested with Rossi on the sidelines, but you really have to love Marquez! he could have settled for 2nd in really lousy wet conditions but he doesn't know how to take anything less than the top step of the podium, not to mention...
My comments are the same as Mike and HRZ. I pretty much fall in line in the diamond lane when I'm commuting as generally its doing 60+. But when it bogs down I'll lane share but at much lower closure speed than that guy was doing. You have to assume that every guy or gal is going to pull...

Congratulations Kevin. I retired from Honeywell last year but picked up a part-timer at a golf course just to keep myself occupied. Being at home 24/7 is not my idea of fun...
Rear brakes are overrated! Confession time - I spent the last 5 days of a trip in the Rockies back in '13 with Beemerdons without any rear brake at all. The only time I missed it at all was when we'd pull over onto gravel shoulders and such.
Unfortunately my observations are the same as yours. As my kids grew up I observed that they never played with friends without adult organization. Youth sports have turned into choreographed events with professional coaches, trainers, travel teams, year round all-star teams, etc... there seems...
Wow - you've got a very together family! One of my co-workers told me once that she had bought a 2016 KTM 1290 Super Adventure for her husband without telling him. I thought she was wife-of-the-year but it looks like she has some serious competition.
Congrats!
Me and Brodie visited Yellowstone back in '12 (was it really already 5 years ago?) - we camped near Lake Lewis for 3 days in late July without having any reservations. Like SacMike said, you need to be there early in the day but its not quite as desperate a situation as some have made it sound...
I use the FuboTV app. It works on iOS, Android, and is available on FireTV. $10/month and you get MotoGP, SBK and MotoAmerica. I shut it off for about 3 months in the winter then turn it back on again when things thaw out again.
Highly recommended.
I wish I had noticed this post earlier - but since I don't know your family I'm not sure how to react to this photo. You're either walking your daughter down the aisle, or celebrating your own wedding to a beautiful woman who appears to be young enough to be your daughter!
I'm either happy for...
Wow! that is certainly a massive "Pro" when it comes to deciding between bikes. Never suspected that the black bike I have now is the main reason I do so poorly with "smokin hot chicks"! I always thought it was my gray hair, increasing waist line and lack of money that were the primary...
Yeah - I thought about it for awhile before posting thinking I might be flagging it for someone to buy it out from under me. But I'm still procrastinating so it's my fault now if anyone buys it....
If you're really interested, here's the info...
I rode the '17 ES at the Yamaha demo truck event in Hayward yesterday. They keep you under a tight leash so unable to stretch its legs, but through the 4 gears I actually used I was really amazed at how silky smooth the transmission was. No clunking into 1st or 2nd like I'm used to with the...
