    Rear Ended

    Not quite true with regard to MI. In MI, you only need to stop for a school bus if the overhead red lights are flashing, unless you are on the opposite side of a divided highway/boulevard. If the school bus only has its hazard lights or overhead yellow lights activated you do not need to stop...

    Game Of Thrones

    Hahaha. In the HBO pre-season vignette, they asked several of the actors/actresses about their character's favorite quote or scene. The actor who plays Hodor said his favorite scene was that one where he said "Hodor". Blah

    Pretty upsetting...

    I can see how stiff gloves or a style that had a large palm/wrist pad or puck might cause some issues with the throttle. I had a pair of riding gloves that had a hard puck on the heel of the palm that caused me to do some funny things with the throttle as I took my MSF. That said, it was still...

    Game Of Thrones

    I watch it. It's an excellent tv series adapted from an even better series of books. George R. R. Martin has written 5 out of the planned 7-ish books in his A Song of Ice and Fire series, the first of which was A Game of Thrones. Like any television or movie adaptation of a series of books, it...

    Pretty upsetting...

    I'm not trying to be a d*** or anything, but how do gloves grab and twist by themselves? I can understand being a little more sticky than the old ones but the twisting part doesn't seem possible to me without human input. It sucks that it happened, but ultimately either you're in control or...

    Great Tune

    I like the song...but the video is just a bit creepy. The dude reminds me a little of the guy in Silence of the Lambs. It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

    Never relax.. never assume you're safe

    Agreed. Just Sunday, the wife and I were in the home stretch from an out of town wedding (read: less than 3 miles from home via two lane roads with double yellow lines). We were in the car, and I see in the mirror some guy scream up behind me to tailgate for a few seconds (I was going...

    Need Lid Suggestions

    I can vouch for the Shoei Qwest being a very comfortable helmet. IMHO, if you are a lucky size to get one for only $215 (I'm assuming motorcyclegear.com?), I'd say it's worth the extra $20 over the Scorpion you also noted. Noise-wise, I notice a small difference depending on how I tilt my head...

    Member here?

    I'm in Traverse City, MI with the family staying at The Beach condos. Noticed a snazzy blue fz6 on the parking lot sitting next to a red Kawasaki. Does it belong to a member here?

    ever been bullied? (story time)

    This is urban legend material, kinda like the "gang initiation" urban legend every new cage driver hears from their friends. Maybe just a case of mistaken identity? They thought you were another one of their friends/acquaintances then realized you weren't as you stopped to chat with the...

    Headphones/Earplugs

    Got it. (Again.) Based on the number of times you've chimed in with that in this thread alone, I'm beginning to think you have some vested interest in sales of these earbuds. :confused:

    Shoei Qwest Helmet review

    So by that logic, that makes me Ethereal? :BLAA:

    I did a bad thing...

    Hahaha...every time I heard a spot on our local radio station(s) for this event, a little stream of drool spontaneously appeared from the corner of my mouth... (Think Homer Simpson.)

    Shoei Qwest Helmet review

    I'll throw my $0.02 in here, too. I have nothing but positive things to say about my new Shoei Qwest. I got it for a ridiculously good price online. It replaced a Bell Vortex, which while good, ended up being too big after I lost 60 lbs. (And really paying attention to how my helmet fit...

    You lie like a dog...

    Maybe that's the amount of oil he had to put in to cover that range? Or the amount of coolant lost?
