The other day I was watching Capitalism, a love story by Michael Moore. Quite suitable for discussion in this forum. If you didn't already read up on the credit crunch, how banking works, what money really is today and who control it then it's an insightful movie. Otherwise it's a bit...

Yesterday I went on a Winterday ride with Cloggy in Thulst. I had to go on my winterbike (FJ600) as my FZ6 is in winter storage, the others drive year round on their FZ6s. It was a clear chilly (4 dgr. celcius) day. As I was traveling back home from Germany in the morning I met up with the guys...

I've been reading this blog for some time now : http://market-ticker.denninger.net/ This guy really has a way of putting the finger on the sore spot. And he's right "We The People" as they say in the US have been conned and frauded by the banks and the government just watched. Another...

I'm planning a trip to Portugal in the summer so it reminds me that I need to get a new more comfy saddle for these kinds of trips :spank: But uhm Berlin, would it be an idea to meet at the (in)famous Nordschleife/Nurburgring? Or maybe organise another trip for that, the more rides the...
