    Pit Bull--Home Insurance

    So here's the deal. I'm looking for a family dog. I was thinking about buying a puppy, but as I look at all of the dogs needing homes, it seems almost irresponsible to not get one from a shelter. The problem that I'm running into is that the majority of dogs are pit mixes. I had a pit bull...

    What do you know about Basenjis?

    Anyone have any experience with owning a Basenji? They sound like smart, energetic, self-confident little dogs. I'm not thinking about getting a dog right away. I just came across the breed while watching some PBS special on dogs. They look like a hoot on Youtube.

    Home Depot Hippies Get Off my Bike!

    So when I got out of Home Depot there was a little kid sitting on my bike. His hippie parents were watching him. I was pissed but hippies don't mind you being pissed at them. I guess they're used to it. After visiting my mom, my bike wouldn't start. I had to push start it to get home. I...

    New Battery Effect

    My old Bandit 600 can be a pain to start in cold weather. Once its warmed up it will restart no problem. I put a new battery in it last week and its way easier to start cold, but it also seems to run better. Is that possible or am I imagining it? It seems to idle more evenly and launches...

    The Best SuperBowl Ad

    Bush loaned the car industry something like $17 billion and Obama loaned them like $60 billion. Without the money from Obama's administration the Bush money wouldn't have amounted to anything. I guess Bush/Obama can share the credit for Eastwood's inspiring words!

    Commuting with hard panniers

    I commute with these Givi panniers. They're a bit small but they work. You need to be more aware as you laneshare. It's not a big deal. Lanesharing on the Versys is more fun but the side bags sure are convenient. Cheap too.

    Nitrogen

    I'm telling you what. Sounds like you're low on fluid. Check around. You can usually find it on sale if you look around. Here's the brand I use, right after I pay someone to put nitrogen in my tires:

    Shervin Ultimatum

    I didn't dare post this in general. This really has nothing to do with motorcycles. It has more to do with Internet drama. Shervin, the master mechanic of ZX-10's delivered an ultimatum to the ZX-10 forum: Either make him a mod, or he will leave forever! I thought it was funny...

    The Language of Humanity

    I found the video below very interesting. There has been a long standing debate over the origins of blues. No one has been able to find a place or a time when "the blues" first became a musical form. The blues is based on a pentatonic scale (for the most part). IMO, the pentatonic scale is...

    Red Light Camera Flash

    Does a red light camera flash every time it takes a picture? In other words, could someone get a ticket having never seen a camera flash? Umm...yeah. I got close to not making a yellow today right in front of a camera and it started me thinking. Does no flash mean no ticket? Thanks...

    What would You do? (09 or 10 Versys)

    I'm thinking about buying a Versys. Apparently they don't sell well so there are tons of 09's left selling way below MSRP. According to reviews, the 2010 model is slightly more refined. I'm primarily interested in the fact that rubber motor mounts on the 2010 model cut down on engine...
