    What do you consider tailgating?

    I have been meaning to post this for awhile. I want to know the variance of what folks think tailgating is and if it’s different bike vs. car. For me, anything less than 2 car lengths is tailgating. On a bike that seems too close for me. Chime in.

    Who has had the most bikes?

    Ok, the way I see it, it could be what's in your garage right now, that run (or at a specific point in time), or over the course of your riding career. Curious to hear what is the highest number for 1 rider (households of riders, different category). To keep it clean, let's do a tally for...

    Does a tire leak more if you ride on it, or if it's stationary?

    Or does it leak at the same rate regardless? Anyone know? I would think it would like the same no matter what... This is the shit that keeps me up at night.

    Who loves the gear, the wrenching, et al, as much as the riding?

    I hopped online just now to pursue any good sales (not like I need more gear, have more moto gear than street clothes), and I thought, hmmm, I think I love all the accoutrements as much as riding. Detailing the bike, maintenance, shopping for the bells and whistles, riding gear, of course bike...
