what

that's a pretty lady.

You ever get that tuono James?

Yeah it was a little nippley this morning even in my leathers.

Education and culture can go pretty much hand-in-hand. When I went through driver's ed I remember it all being brainless memorization and multiple choice answers. I got very little actual driving instruction. Fortunately I grew up driving/riding all sorts of motorized vehicles and had old work trucks/ a '52 willys jeep to mess around in and learned a lot on my own off-road/on private land. People that never get that type of exposure are essentially given a license, a pat on the back and told "good luck". They develop bad habits over the years because nobody ever told them any differently and then things like the article posted in this thread happen.

probably already know this but epic ride got pushed to tomorrow. just an fyi in case there's not much of a response

Thatll teach me to not check the boards before I leave.

It's set to clear up around 9am in McConnelsville, which is the general area we will be in for most of the ride. 10% chance from 9am-2pm, then from 2-3pm it's 40%, then back down to 10%.

Hmmmm, I can couch-surf in Austin. Will have to look into that.

Point is the driver education in the U.S. is severely lacking in almost all aspects.

It's finally come to this. You've opened a thread to flame yourself. I've been there buddy, there IS help.

looks like 20/25% chance for both mcconnelsville and sharpsburg. not terrible.

if it's actual video, no. if it's a composited animation, yes.

I'm sure it will go from 100% to 0% to ?? between now and tomorrow night.

the builder.

should be pretty easy now to upload photos. 10MB limit on file size...

I met Jesse James at one of my shows. He had an attitude the whole time. Don't care to meet him again.

I just did today. "Fit to drive", at least according to the BMV. Not saying much apparently ;p

Ohio weather is a fickle mistress. Sunday isn't looking bad after early morning.

There are companies that aggregate your data from all over the place (online, shopping habits on your credit cards, what you buy, where you buy it and even what you own) and sell it to advertisers. This is why people don't like google and Facebook One of my clients is a company that does this. In a meeting earlier this year their president/CEO said "nobody knows who we are and we like it that way. We're the people behind the curtain. We are the creepy people that take all your data." Sleep tight.

Not lately, been concentrating on playing in hayfields. Your CBR was looking pretty nice last time I saw you, did you get new fairings for some reason? (I'm also in favor of more stringent testing and [maybe] graduated licensing from the outset.)

hm, no problemos here. must be a lie.

I think by mean he means you didn't gift him that corvette he's been dreaming about after praying at the shrine he has of you in his bedroom.

I'm perfectly willing to submit to driving exams after I hit 65. You've still got a year or two left right?

rain rain go away

Get some quality boots if you don't have any. Make sure they go over your ankle and preferably cover your shin. Padded pants are a good idea too. Also, welcome!
