GM is bringing back the Hummer badge, and attaching it to an electric powered supertruck, which appears to maintain the Hummers distinctive boxy shape. GM is quoting 1000 horsepower, 11500 lb-ft of torque, and a zero to 60 in 3 seconds. So it will be a very powerful, very fast, and probably...

I don't think this should count as political on it's face. So long as people don't decide to make it that. A bankruptcy judge has ruled that student loans can be discharged with bankruptcy, In doing so she addresses what she argues to be a misinterpretation of the law, and overturns 32 years...

Ok, sort of free, sort of not. So, a settlement finally has gone through against Equifax for putting the private information of basically every person in the United States at risk. Now everyone who might have been effected (IE, basically everyone) can file a claim against them for $125...

I avoided the temptation to call this thread 'Most of the Sackler family deserves to rot in prison for the rest of their lives' Also, don't think this should be in political, since it really isn't political. It can be a heated topic though, so be good people. NY Times just released an...

https://www.wlwt.com/article/prosecutor-on-fifth-third-shooting-this-could-have-been-a-bloodbath-beyond-imagination/23006860 3 victims and the shooter are dead, with another 2 people injured. The police seemed to have responded very quickly which probably cut down the death toll a great deal...

D5VN56jQMWM So, google has been working on it's AI, and now it can make calls for you. Because human interaction is over rated, I guess. So, do you think you could tell that you are talking to a computer AI instead of an actual human?

http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-california-economy-gdp-20180504-story.html California has become the worlds 5th largest economy, kicking the snot out of the puny United Kingdom. We're at about 2.7 Trillion USD now, compared to Germany's 3.6 Trillion, so I guess we have our work cut out...

https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2017/07/google-robot-factory-raises-sterile-mosquitos-automated-device-will-release-a-million-per-week.html Google is making a bunch of male mosquitoes that will sterilize female mosquitoes that they mate with. By 'a bunch' we are talking a million bugs every...

Everyone say's it's bound to happen eventually, I guess today was the day for me. I went down coming off of Highway 101 NB exit ramp to shoreline boulevard, while turning and accelerating from a stop I hit a slippery patch which caused the rear to spin out and the bike to fall, it slid maybe 40...

http://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=1157&Year=2017 Quote from the bill, the parts that are being removed/changed are in (()) brackets. No rules on 'only in congestion' and 10mph delta / 35 mph max are lower then what we see here, but less restrictive then the rules set in place in...

http://www.cycleworld.com/2017-honda-crf250l-rally-finally-takes-dual-sport-riding-seriously I think this looks really good, they kept it basically as a dirtbike with ADV bike elements. It could make a good bike for a short or heavy traffic commute or for dirt track ADV duties. Now who is...

I was going to go up to Lick observatory with a friend who has an old, not good condition GS850 (like early 80's vintage). His bike crapped out on him on 101 near the airport. We were able to get Triple A, no harm, no foul. So I got to talking with him and not so much pressured as enabled...

So, looking at the Ducati website today. Basically all of the bikes come in 4 color choices. Black, White, Grey, and Red. I go to Triumphs website, and it's the exact same color set. Same with MV Agusta, same with Aprilia. BMW has a few bikes with some blue accents but otherwise uses the...

http://www.wisn.com/news/police-hostages-held-inside-neenah-motorcycle-shop/36812286 Looks like no one is dead yet. We'll see how this turns out. I guess this is what happens when you overcharge for valve adjustments.

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here in the south bay wanted to help me move on friday(short distance, Sunnyvale to Santa Clara) I don't have too much stuff but things like the bed and other furniture are a bit too large for one person to move. I can pay with cash or cases of beer if anyone...
