Fin

Unless you are using a grind finer than medium ground (typical peculator grind) you really don't need that much coffee. Turkish, extra fine, is outstanding but you're practically eating the coffee if you don't wait for the grounds to settle. And even when the grinds do settle, you are still eating the bean. Espresso, fine, is great for ramrodding pressurized heated water through it. You are still eating bean but not as bad as Turkish coffee. But medium fine to fine is great for my process. You are still eating some bean, but you are also trapping the grounds with the filter. To make Turkish coffee you use 1 teaspoon of coffee for every 3 oz of water, that's about 10 teaspoons for my 4 cups of water. And you drink Turkish coffee when the grinds are finally settled after the pour. It's thick as mud. I used to drink coffee like that but that's too much effort, and not enough holding a warm cup enjoyment. I'm not living in the 6th century and need to run off on my camel somewhere. For normal potted coffee Maxwell suggests 24 teaspoons of medium ground coffee for 10 cups coffee. That's 9.6 teaspoons for my 4 cups of water. Now, compare a cup of Turkish coffee with a cup of Maxwell. They use nearly the same amount of coffee to water but have a different process and a very different grind. You will see that the Turkish coffee is much, much stronger, blacker, thicker and full flavored. That's because all the flavor is removed from the bean and some of it is floating as a cloud in the water. This also explains why you have to use a mountain of coffee to make your cup of joe. Not only are you using a medium grind there's also no bean cloud in your water. And hot water releases so much complex flavors of the bean. Adding heat is a chemistry which allows different molecules of flavors to be formed. Your cold water specifically does not release acids and tannin which is useful for people with sensitive stomachs when it comes to acid. Just as I cannot image eating French Onion soup made from cold water, to me coffee made the same way will have the same results. But... keeping an open mind, and having done my research. I'm willing to give it a shot. What can I say, I like science and food. If you and I meet at an event we'll have to share our coffees and broaden our horizons. https://ineedcoffee.com/coffee-grind-chart http://www.turkishcoffeeworld.com/How-to-make-Turkish-Coffee-s/54.htm

HD... not exactly the lead dog on motorcycle technology.

Just sat on a '17 CB1100. Classic. I used to ride the CX500, another classic.

That's because you are cold steeping. Maybe I'm oblivious to tannins... but I sure make a mean cup of joe. Try it, you'll like it... smooooooooooth, rich and strong. Heck... get freaky and put in five tablespoons.

Fired up Black Betty, turned on the heated grips, threw on my leather jacket, sported my shades and headed out. Went to State 8 Motorcycles from Black Horse and sat on some crotch rockets. I didn't see any Yami YZR-M1s. Lord knows what I would do with that kind of power; can anyone say Smokey with Bandit on two wheels? Then I tried on some jackets... i can't believe I'm going to be practical and pass up some leathers for a touring jacket. But a Fieldsheer (a Fieldsheer? What is that?) for 1/2 off retail (about $200) sounds like a good deal unless anyone can convince me other wise. Back now and everything just seem right as rain again. Life without a bike!? That's crazy talk! https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Black+Horse,+Ravenna+Township,+OH+44266/41.1537783,-81.3581849/41.1538123,-81.3603682/41.1591445,-81.3618297/41.1849068,-81.3653278/41.2028581,-81.4961804/41.186202,-81.5081562/41.1521088,-81.5087919/41.1548019,-81.3601998/@41.145562,-81.4470182,12.25z/data=!4m16!4m15!1m5!1m1!1s0x88313844eed2ff5d:0x1494fcce42a1e43a!2m2!1d-81.2731598!2d41.1589454!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m0!3e0

I washed my bike and took it out for a spin... before i "Pop Goes the Weasel" Larry, Moe! Cheese! Cheese! I need cheese!

There are only three sensors, a front and back radar (sonic) and a LiDAR on roof (360 spinning mirror w/LASER). The sides are complete blind spots. Sun can possibly "blind" the mirror. Radar can misunderstand signatures. And a trajectory, like motorcycles or bicycles passing or being passed with three foot clearance leaving or entering the self driving vehicle's blind spots is problematic?

Tesla 'autopilot' car hits Phoenix police motorcycle Well hell! Wasn't I just talking about this? A Phoenix police motorcycle was struck by a Tesla Model X reportedly operating on autopilot last week, police said. The incident happened a few days before an accident involving an automated Uber vehicle in Tempe. Phoenix police on Monday confirmed that the incident occurred when a Tesla driver and an on-duty officer exited the Black Canyon Freeway onto Utopia Road on the afternoon of March 21.

Jesus! I'm going to fit right in with you misfits! LMAO

Noooooooooo!!! Damn you! My beautiful bike! What the hell did you do to it!? LMAO... Screw Starschmucks.

Thanks! Learning something new every day! $32/4L is a good deal.

Yes... the best damn coffee does not come from Starbucks and I'm going to teach you how to make it. The method is as ancient as 15'th century Turkish coffee and you don't need a $100 K-Cup or $200 Espresso machine that clutters your counter to make it. There is no acidic after taste and you get the full body flavor of a French Press without messy cleanup and filters. So, here it is, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Get yourself a bag of your favorite flavored ground coffee. Get yourself a pot and add 4 cups of water. Add 2 teaspoons of that brown gold. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for a few minutes, maybe five. With a fine filter strain the coffee into a serving vessel and your cup. All the grounds should be in the strainer and can be easily dumped in the trash. Rinse an put away... you're done! Now, if you want to throw two eggs into the pot and do a 5 minute egg while camping or whatever, now you got your self a complete breakfast.

Where do you get this? Are you going to BMW Motorcycles of Cleveland for this because the oil alone is around $45 w/o shipping? I just happened to see it also being sold at Walmart ... wa, wa, wa, what!? I never thought to look there.

I'm 6' 260... I never felt comfortable on anything smaller than 500cc, even when I was in my 20's, unless it's on dirt. And if it's a sport bike... well, let's just say, I'm not excited about dragging my big toe while my legs turn blue. But more power to those of you who can ride those bikes. I would if I could... looks like fun.

Buy Castor Oil and get movie tickets to "The Fate of the Furious" http://www.castrol.com/en_us/united-states/promotions.html

I'm glad you are posting this as it is time for me to do a full oil and filter change myself. So... what oil are you using? I don't mind buying BMW SH or SG oil, but if I can use Mobil V-Twin 20W-50 or Golden Spectro 4 and save a few bills that would be great.

Extra Virgin Oil is my preference... you know, the Italian kind.

Shouldn't that meme be called Yokohama-ono!?

What the... is nothing sacred any more? What's next, you are going to tell us that Budweiser beer isn't American owned any more too!

LOL! You make a good point about sport tires... but touring is not bad.

LMAO! True that.

Revzilla is running some deals on tires and shipping for what you'll be spending is free. I went from Metzeler to Shinko on my bike. I saved a lot of coin and am very saticfied with the quality. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle-tires

The "tink" sound sounds like something is cracked or loose, not a valve clearance issue. At different vibration frequencies you'll notice different sounds. As for tires, personally, I never risk it. Tire pressure, tread, and fluids, three things I never take for granted. I've heard of too many people taking a high end or low end on a corner because they didn't check pressure and tread. And with Spring rain on built up oil and gravel from the Winter is a bitch on bad tires.
