Now, while scurrying about on the interwebs regarding the magazine decision, I stumbled over to calguns (where I don't usually frequent), and stumbled upon something interesting. Apparently the State is going to limit the sale of "precursor firearm parts" to be only through licensed dealers...

I'm just looking for some clarity on this machine. It's captivating to me. I guess, it's basically an electric dirt bike. As a dirt bike that means it can only be used in OHV areas. Do any of the "Green" and "Red" sticker things apply to these? I know those are basically emissions stickers...

What topics are searched by the "New Posts" link? Apparently, it's not all of them. The Kitchen Sink, notably, is absent. In that "new posts" in the Kitchen Sink do not appear in the search results. Wondering what others are excluded.

So, I'm going to just say that this happened twice in the past two days, and curious how it worked. The first incident, I'm heading home, gridlocked rush hour traffic, creeping along. Along the shoulder comes a CHP vehicle. He proceeds to cut in to the traffic a couple cars up, pulls in behind...

Saw a post on a new bicycle helmet with a different kind of liner. Can't see any glaring reason why it couldn't be used in a motorcycle helmet. https://wavecel.com/ Not in time for me to get a new one, of course. But, if the material is valid, be nice to see it come to motorcycles and other...

Posting for a friend, I'll just quote it: Wondering what the cognoscenti think. It's his daily commuter.

Seems like the "2018" middleweight BMW Adv bikes are finally showing up here in the US (or anywhere as far as I can tell). I haven't seen any local here in SoCal yet mentioned at the dealers, but a dealer in Dallas has the 700's in stock and is taking deposits on the others. The story earlier...

When I wanted rockets on my bike, this isn't quite what I was thinking. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/bosch-motorcycle-anti-slide-thrusters/?ftag=CAD-16-10abc4e

I don't want to be a jerk. I don't want to hoist a flag over a recent tragedy. But there was a single vehicle accident recently that got a thread here. One of the comments was, lightly elided: Also in the thread was a video of some of the riding done. The rider was, clearly, breaking the...

Husqvarna revealed its new street bike designs. Let the kibitzing begin... https://www.theverge.com/transportation/2018/2/22/17041672/husqvarna-401-svartpilen-vitpilen-interview-maxime-thouvenin

Posting for a colleague. Got a maintenance quandary for y'all. Have a problem that's happened twice in about 3 years. Bike ('09 Ninja 250) doesn't start after being off for a couple of weeks (first time was 3 weeks, this time was 12 days). Both times the tank has been relatively empty but had...

As I understand it, motorcycles arrive at dealers in a crate, partially disassembled, and the dealers take them and put them back together. I'm just curious what the state is of crated motorcycle. Is it more than the front wheel removed, and, perhaps, needing gas and oil? Are there any fluids...

There's a nice article about the dangers of the TT over at the NYT. Apparently, we've already lost 2 this year. RIP racers. :rose https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/07/sports/Isle-of-man-TT-motorcycle-race.html?smid=tw-nytsports&smtyp=cur

I'm hoping someone that might find themselves at an A's game would be willing to look around and pick up a Media Guide for me. I was able to get one for the Angels last year in their main store at the stadium. I plan on getting another one this year, but I'd also like one for the A's. But they...

I mean, of course it does. But more so, is there such a thing as "bad gas" today in California, or the U.S.? That is, from a commercial gas station (not that rusty can in the back of your friends shed). To here tell it, everyone gets their gas from everyone, branding is just that -- branding...

This is kind of neat in a "this is kind of neat" way. Enfield Himalayan Adventure bike. http://www.gizmag.com/royal-enfield-himalayan/41671/

Coming in to the office today, there's a lady on a scooter. Nice scooter, didn't note the make. Helmet, nice (fashionable) helmet, 3/4 helmet I guess I'd call it, maybe open faced, but the googles were part and parcel to it. Chin was open. And…that was it. Lightweight hoodie I think, jeans...

So, I have a jacket. Jackets in fine shape, textile jacket. But it has old, creaky "foam-ish" shoulder and elbow pads. I know those inserts have advanced quite a bit since when the jacket was made, so I was curious if I could just buy some inserts and replace these. Where would I get them...
