    Tire opinions?

    My M1's are about ready to be replaced and I'm thinking of trying something different, since my last 4 or 5 sets of tires have been M1's. I ride semi-aggressively on weekends and commute a short distance (10 miles) daily. I plan on doing the occasional trackday in the near future. I'm thinking...

    Can anybody here make this small enough to use as an avatar without screwing up the quality too much? It cracks me up and I'd like to use it. Thanks.

    Mines 3/30?

    A couple of buddies and I are thinking of doing a Mines/Del Puerto run on Sunday. Is anybody else interested? Meeting spot will be the usual Starbuck's at 10:00AM. Post here if you're interested because if nobody wants to go, we may just join the Berryessa ride instead.

    How often do you get your helmet buffed?

    How often does everybody get a good helmet buffing? Do you do it yourself or have it done? I like to get mine spit-shined at least a couple of times a week.

    Wireless routers

    I have a Linksys BEFW11S4 router and a WPC11 version 1 card. My range is terrible. The signal drops to "poor" within about 10 feet of the access point and it disconnects completely within about 20 feet. I have an Aironet 4800LT card that works slightly better, but not much. I bought a Linksys...

    Memory question

    Will I screw anything up if I put PC133 memory in an older machine that currently has PC100? I don't intend to combine the two, but I want to replace a 64MB PC100 with a 256MB PC133. Will it work ok?

    WANTED: Older computers or components

    I'm trying to put together some computers for my kids (5 of them) mostly for word processing, chatting online, etc., so I don't need anything very fast. Something like Pentium II's in the 400Mhz range. They don't have to be complete as long as I can make them work. So if anybody can kick me down...

    Thanks, everybody

    I just want to thank everybody for all the nice things that were written following the announcement of my recent crash. It's great to see how many people care, even though I have never actually even met many of them. I'm at home recovering from my foot surgery now and it looks as though the...

    A big, fat dump trophy for the fat guy!

    Well, I guess I'm the latest DT winner. Wednesday night on my way home from school, I was taken out by a cager who ran a red light. The bike is totaled and my injuries are fairly extensive: Severely broken right foot (going in for surgery on Tuesday), torn ligaments in right wrist, badly bruised...

    What's this gonna cost me?

    On the way home from work today, I was the lucky recipient of a speeding ticket for 90MPH on the freeway (speed limit 65). Does anyone have any clue how much this is going to cost me? How badly it will affect my insurance? It would be the only one on my record (already went to traffic school...

    Personalized license plates

    Here's my new plate I just got today. What do you all think? Let's see some others, huh? And if they're a little bit uh, enigmatic, don't tell us what they mean and we can try to guess.

    Another Mines/Del Puerto ride Sunday 8/4?

    If you guys aren't tired of riding Mines Road and Del Puerto Canyon Road yet, how about doing it again this Sunday? I missed the last couple of BARF group rides, so I'm kinda having withdrawals. Who would be up for it?
