    Danish TV kids show about a guy with a huge pickle

    Just go ahead and file this under the "You can't make this stuff up" category. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/07/europe/denmark-john-dillermand-controversy-scli-intl/index.html Move over Bert and Ernie. This guy has some new world kickstand issues.

    An actual kitchen sink question for The Kitchen Sink. Water pressure issue

    Our house was recently remodeled with essentially all new plumbing and fixtures throughout. The water pressure throughout the house is fine with strong showers and bathroom sink streams. The one area of concern is the kitchen sink which has abysmally low pressure. I've checked the basics (yes...

    COVID HOV Lane

    What is the official (or unofficial) position on HOV lane enforcement? As traffic seems to be slowly ratcheting up with COVID restrictions beginning to relax (at least in the north bay) this is becoming more of a question. I tend to find myself in that lane as a single occupant car from time to...

    Are you ATGATT?

    I understand the concern but at the same time I've seen some crazy stuff out there. The most extreme example (so far) was the cashier at my favorite sandwich shop up here in Santa Rosa. Several days ago and well before the shelter in place order I stopped in to get my "usual". The place was as...

    Would you respond to/acknowledge a car driver tapping his roof?

    Would you recognize/acknowledge a roof tap from a passing car? I work in West Marin and commute on some of my favorite riding roads. Due to my late hours I'm often in my car. (I get off at 11:00pm) Driving to work today I saw a large number of sport bikes on my way to work. Lots of people off...

    Chuck Darwin claims another one: RIP Mad Mike

    The thread title says it all. Evel Knievel never had anything to worry about. Frankly, I wasn't sure this guy was ever serious. I guess he was. https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/22/us/science-channel-mike-hughes-dead/index.html oh....and did I mention he was a 'Flat-Earther'...

    Be honest...what do you think motorcycling will look like 15 years from now?

    The thread title says it all. I was going to drop this link in on the electric motorcycle thread until I started thinking about what the riding landscape will look like later. The boom our sport enjoyed died 12 years ago with the recession for a variety of reasons. Young people are not in the...

    Can't imagine a bigger bummer...

    ...than running over your own kid. :rose But....alcohol, privilege etc.... There was a lot going on there. https://www.marinij.com/2019/09/16/tiburon-boy-killed-one-injured-in-boating-accident-near-angel-island/ I have crewed on several race sailboats out of Corinthian Y/C. I know that area...

    Post your AFM Labor day pics

    Like I said in another thread, I am uncharacteristically away from the track today. The least I can do is provide an encouraging platform to post any and all AFM pics from the weekend. Pit and spectator pics count too! Show me what I'm missing! :ride

    Bad one on 9

    I heard about it on the radio.....moto accident with a tree down with 9 closed in both directions. I saw nothing in print media or on here (barf) for that matter. Anyone have details? (sincerely hoping for mild or no injuries or anyone we know)

    Deceased rider found by cell phone pings

    The title says it all. This story reminds me of the rider that was lost in the water by Hwy 37 a few years back. https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/07/25/man-found-deceased-in-ditch-along-fairfield-freeway/ :(

    Free Solo: The Movie

    Saw it last night. Absolutely unbelievable. We like to think we engage in some high risk activities. This guy is on another level. The one point that I took from the movie that surprised me is I sincerely don't believe he's an adrenaline junkie. I also found the somewhat unexpected conflicts...

    RIP Jeff Adachi

    This caught me by surprise. Clearly I won't be alone. Dude was a pit bull. He will be missed. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Public-Defender-Jeff-Adachi-dies-13638785.php
