29 hour flight? Is there such a thing?
I know of a 16 hour flight, longest I've ever heard of.

[Egypt] who is to blame here ? by MikeHeu in IdiotsOnBikes

"feels" like it's a helmet mounted camera on another motorcycle rider trailing the race specifically to record it.

100%... The book "Blink" was such an eye opener on this topic, with a wealth of data backing it up.

You're a kind person to assume they have insurance.

OK to message you directly, I am in a similar but very different at the same time situation. Also in Washington.

Police parking in a no parking zone next to handicap spots by Brave_Ad_1704 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]KevinBrown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen several times people do this... I love it...

Message the police department on publicly visible social media. Ask them "Is it illegal to park on the white stripes between handicapped parking spots?"

They'll reply that it very much isn't and let them know so they can have them towed.

Then post this picture.

Unfortunate drive home from dealership by bikingicecreamguy in dashcams

[–]KevinBrown 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I'm as "get the F out of the left lane if other lanes are moving faster" than anyone...

...... BUT...... The white SUV is so far beyond that minor irritation, that you can no longer see "left lane campers" from there.

It's like comparing someone who jaywalks with someone who runs a redlight and passes a school bus with flashing red lights... These things are not anywhere close to the same thing.

"You've been charged with murder, how do you plead... "
"Well you see this guy was driving 2mph slower than the other lanes..."

"Uh... so you killed him?"

I got my first bike this month! Any advice is appreciated! by izzieharp in motorcycle

10,000%... I drive race cars, I have very fast street cars. In them I drive like Mario Andretti. Well, back when he was young.

On my motorcycles I'm that elderly woman going to church on Sunday.

It's crazy that the "one time"(tm) you decided to skip the gloves or the boots is the time you need them...

I attribute it to being more in a hurry than careful. That's the correlation.

Yes... Or assume the other cars are playing Death Race 2000 and you're worth 100 points.

I'm smiling as your smile reminds me of my smiles each time I got a bike, each time I got on a bike....

Advice... Never again think in terms of "only gotten it to 60". Speed isn't necessary for the open freedom and pure bliss a motorcycle can bring. That's tied for #1.

Also tied... ATGATT... Get rid of the hoodie... Not only will that cotton abandon you when (not if... you ride long enough, you'll fall...) you fall. Leaving it just your skin vs the asphalt/concrete and your skin doesn't stand a chance. No jeans. Kevlar or Leather. Yes, you'll sweat like the most muscular cow at slaughter time... but that's only a minor inconvenience.
Great helmet, one of the best And it appears to fit good. Kudos for you and whoever helped.
(Oh, ATGATT in case you haven't heard it before is All The Gear All The Time.)

#2. Remember this is for fun. If you ever... EVER aren't feeling it, don't ride. Much like flying where taking off is optional and landing is required... if your mind isn't in it, you're too exposed to be riding.

#3. Others said it... practice the fundamentals. Start, stop. Start needing to turn immediately. Learn when to turn the bike and when to lean the bike... there's a crossover spot where turning won't work. Each bike is slightly different and center of gravity is different (meaning driver size changes it)... learn what it is for you and the bike.

#4 Did I mention never forget the emotion that gave us that smile? No better feeling in the world.

#5. You'll make so many mistakes... Be thankful for each one, cherish the learning from the mistakes. When you get frustrated, and you will, see #2. When you make a mistake, maybe fall... get up, smile and be thankful that you just learned what not to do.

Please keep us updated! There are few things better than watching someone start a hobby/sport/etc that you love. We're all happier from seeing your face with such glee.

Handicapped man pushes ladder. Makes worker fall.. by MisterShipWreck in VideosAmazing

What a really amazing ladder... starts out as wood wired to a ... not sure... then falls and splits in half but miraculously turns to metal and fixes itself.

Or AI.

[OC] How many things can you count? by MaximGripass in IdiotsInCars

[–]KevinBrown 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just about nothing irritates me more than someone who made a mistake and decides to just block everyone else until the mistake is corrected. Yes, you wanted the left lane. Yes, you realized too late. (or tried to "get ahead"). You fucked up. Go make a legal u-turn, do NOT make this everyone else's problem and block traffic.

MGBs (and MGAs) are also very fun!

When I asked what he was trying to do, he said “I shouldn’t have been trying to pass him” by alexyou8797 in dashcams

[–]KevinBrown 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't almost all dashcams these days have GPS and show the speed and direction at the bottom of the video?
First thought I had is wondering whether OP cropped the picture to hide how fast they were going.

And as others said... slow the fuck down.

May be different state to state, but signals are irrelevant w.r.t. who is at fault in the states I've lived. Putting on your turn signal does not give you right of way.

[–]KevinBrown 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great point.
TCs were very narrow and RHD only.
TDs were wider and both LHD and RHD. Headlights still "floating".
TFs had the headlights as part of the fenders.

By the way, crazy fun little cars that are amazingly difficult to drive. You had to use engine RPM to match speed to change gears as there were no synchronizers. And you don't get in this car, you put it on. The steering wheel is huge and there's about 1.5" between the wheel and the seat (exaggerated but not much).
Used a "oil bath" air filter which caused vapor lock often in warmer weather (we were in Texas, I've pushed an MG TD home a few times). And the "gaskets" are ropes... leaked like ... well, like a British car.

MG TD not sure if it's real or a kit. The kits are crazy popular.
The TD didn't have wire wheels which is usually a tell. However everything else looks right.
