    An actual Kitchen Sink question in the Kitchen Sink.

    Covering the current tile countertop in my daughter's house that she rents from us. Some cracked tile on the counter so will do a granite overlay with these guys: http://www.granitetransformations.com/ Question is, 50/50 sink or undivided 22x33. Give me your personal experience. I'm leaning...

    Why aren't these guys in jail?

    I'm sure I'll piss off the BARF gun lobby but :wtf http://www.wired.com/2014/10/1200-machine-making-untraceable-guns-just-sold-36-hours/ "Americans want guns without serial numbers. And apparently, they want to make them at home. On Wednesday, Cody Wilson’s libertarian non-profit Defense...

    Shocked by a great friend, nice guy, who thinks lane splitters should be "doored."

    Eric is a great guy, one of the nicest guys I've ever met, early 60's and I overheard him talking with other friends about how those who filter up to a stoplight are jerks. Tried to explain to him the whole solid reasoning behind the practice and when it is legal/safe to do so etc. He would...

    And YOU thought you had a drinking problem!

    :wtf I drink too much beer, six bottles is no problem whatsoever, but dear lord. "Gerard Depardieu, the titan of French cinema and renowned bon vivant, claims he sometimes drinks up to 14 bottles of wine a day. Even a quintuple heart bypass operation 14 years ago does not seem to have tempered...

    Just got Comcast's Xfinity X1 platform upgrade to existing service.

    Did this and managed to save $60/month. :laughing I think the picture is marginally better as you can select 1080p resolution, (I believe it's just upconverted), but wondered what others thought who have a 1080p set. Much more DVR space, (500 gigs if I remember correctly). Much smaller DVR...

    14 annoying riding/driving habits.

    Pretty darned good list Megaspeed splitters made the list. Whodda thunk! :laughing Glad to see that the autos blocking splitters were also mentioned. http://www.sfgate.com/cars/article/Annoying-California-driving-habits-5670297.php#photo-6688107 They didn't mention one of my all time...

    August 8th Chron article on Lane Splitting.

    Well written by the author but the comments are thus far running about 90% against the practice. Help educate them by posting your own comments. :thumbup "The DMV and the CHP are withdrawing safety guidelines for lane-splitting because they don't want to encourage the practice - even though it...

    For those of you who use a brush to shave...

    which I've been doing for 30 years. Just bought this at CVS and it is by far the best shaving soap I've ever used. As you all know, shaving with a real Badger hair brush is not only better but far cheaper and more eco friendly than any other method. The fact that it fascinates many women is...

    Does anyone think the $75mil+ to be spent on suicide net on the Golden Gate will work

    to actually prevent total suicides in the State? Is it really true it's only on one side of the bridge, (the side facing the City view)? :laughing Is it really that hard to jump into a comfy net and then crawl to the edge and drop off? How much in pay and bennies will it cost to remove...

    Is, gasp, Moto3 the most entertaining moto racing?

    I'm beginning to think so after watching Mugello. At one point the announcer says "it's 6 abreast into that corner...last lap we had 7...pretty boring." :laughing

    Major injuries in Highway 116 motorcycle crash 5/21/14

    This is an area where triple digits can be achieved if you so desire. Hopefully the rider survives, though it doesn't sound good at all. Complete story in the link. "The crash took place on Highway 116, just east of Old Cazadero Road at shortly before 5 p.m. The CHP is investigating whether...

    Does the "buddy" method work better than "formal" training?

    At the risk of being suspended, I was thinking about the thread (since closed) where "formally" trained riders were involved in as many crashes as those not "formally" trained. EDIT: Thread I was referring to has been restored: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=456017...

    Another uplifting animal rescue story.

    I mean, who doesn't like a happy ending? :) Use the link at the very bottom for the whole story, but dayum, these two guys are :thumbup:thumbup.

    What percent of riders you know drink and ride...

    even if it is only a beer and not on every ride? Unscientific poll...average has to be way less than the 40% of fatalities where alcohol is found in the system. For me it's 0%.

    Interesting "risky business" article in latest MCN (USA)...specifics on HD and BMW...

    and generalities about "all other" brands as HD and BMW evidently are the only two brands with some detail available from the FHTSA's FARS (Fatal Accident Reporting System. 2012 Moto Deaths per 1000 units: BMW = .24 HD = .55 All others = .46 2012 Moto Deaths involving .01-.07% alcohol: HD =...

    Jeremy Clarkson in the crosshairs.

    Is the offense of mumbling an insensitive nursery rhyme enough to have him sacked? Who hasn't he offended? Still love the show. :thumbup "The latest Top Gear controversy has been triggered by Jeremy Clarkson's apparent use of the "n-word" in a clip put together in 2013. Although it was never...

    New and improved MSF Basic Rider Course...what say you trainers?

    Sounds like a step forward to me, but then again I've never taken the BRC in my 30 some odd years of riding. Wish it had been available when I was crashing...um...I mean "riding" my first wee bike in Belgium whilst in HS back in the 70's. :laughing "The next phase in motorcycle rider training...

    Anyone want a free Ab Bench?

    Didn't know where to post this so I stuck it here in the KS. My wife got this for free from NordicTrac several years ago and has never used it as she already had an Ab machine. Well built. Come and get it in the next week or two here in Santa Rosa. Don't have the exercise guide that came...

    I'm no musician, but damned if this isn't a good speech.
