Re: Credit card fraud and gas station skimmers?

I had my number used a moth ago or something like that and had to get a new card. Was caught pretty quickly and I wasn't out anything. But this is one of the reasons I use credit cards and not debit cards.

Re: MSRC March 5th-6th

They seem to tolerate a lot of rain, but not lightning so much. They have been known to run with standing and or streaming water over the track. It is apparently "good experience" to have, which I'm sure is true, but it doesn't seem like much fun.

Interesting. I suppose we'll be seeing a Daytona 765 in a couple of years then.

Re: MSRC March 5th-6th

For those that thought they missed the window for Sunday... They have now killed the cruiser class and gone to a 1.0 and a 1.5. So it looks like there are some openings in level 1 again.

Re: 2017 Progressive International Motorcycle Show

Had a few interesting things there. It was interesting to see the R9T cafe racer. Cylinders sticking out farther than the handlebars, but it did look cool. Chatted up a pair of OKC motor-cops about the various Cop bikes at the show. The seemed to really like the HD for around town (I don't get it) b...

Re: Ride Smart Corner Working questions

Two in a row wasn't a problem for me last year. I did skip the last session both days, but I may have done that anyway. As for working corners. There are no bathroom breaks outside lunch. Sessions run back to back. Figure out if there will be shade or if you have to bring your own, it depends on the...

Re: Victory going away

I hope that their racing group gets folded under Indian and I'd like to see the Empulse electric bikes continue even though the look and technology doesn't exactly fit in with the Indian brand.

Re: Tankless water heaters

That's good news. Just out of curiosity, you said you can't get to the anode without pulling the tank. Does that mean that where it is sitting you do not have access to the top of the tank? Or at least very little space above the tank? Or is it something else?

Re: Tesla upgrade looks like its great success

You all got me curious... Interesting from Wikipedia: 1992: Mitsubishi is the first automaker to offer a Lidar-based distance detection system on the Japanese market Debonair. Marketed as Distance Warning, this early system only warns the driver, without influencing throttle, brakes or gearshifting....

Hey man, don't knock it, the white chocolate mochachino is awesome, just too bad it's full of sugar. Yeah, I hate that part. There is a chain where I used to live that has a mint mocha that is awesome. Then I found out a medium was over 400 calories. But back to the subject at hand... How living in...

Re: Anyone have a clue about drones?

Yeah, I get what you mean. It helps to think of it as momentum vs. position. When you move the stick away from center you are imparting a change to momentum (overcoming inertia). When it is centered it is neutral, not braking or reversing. The other drones that stop themselves on centering the stick...
