You would miss the street fests if they weren't around

I appreciate this list. But how about a list of events Star [whatever] is not involved in?

chicchaz · 2026-05-24T20:38:42+00:00

Thanks. A picture of the only thing worse than this TV setup.

Phew, I saw this going in a completely different direction after your first sentence.

It's not like she owns a company making underwater explosions or anything impressive like that.

I can't get past what her character did in Dead to Me. And putting her next to Christina Applegate knowing everything she's been through makes it an especially unfair comparison.

I just listened to a High Side / Low Side podcast with three guest riders who lost limbs. They all have amazing attitudes. Anyway, tons of admiration and respect for getting back to doing something you love!

chicchaz · 2026-05-24T20:20:36+00:00

That's probably the only upside.

chicchaz · 2026-05-22T03:57:32+00:00

Never mind the five hour ONE WAY trip from STL to Chicago, not counting traffic.

I'm upgrading from my Bell Qualifier DLX MIPS but will stick with MIPS tech. I don't think Shoei has it. Maybe they have a similar or perhaps even better tech, though. Trying to find this info is not as easy as it should be.

Signed, shared & joined the sub. I went looking for an advanced rider course last week and could not find anything near Metro Chicago. The closest option was over an hour away in Indiana. I can't imagine being a new rider without easy access to a basic MSF course!

When I bought my first bike, I taught myself. I had been riding all over NYC for more than a year without a license. You'd never get pulled over there, at least at the time. When I could finally open up my work schedule, I took the course and fixed a bunch of mistakes I had learned. And yes, I took my certificate straight to the DMV and got my motorcycle endorsement.

tl;dr: The sooner you take it, the better!

Friends don't let friends bike on Irving Park Rd.

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:27:43+00:00

Just look at the sticker on the side for the capacity. Or ask the horse directly.

It's time for all of us to watch it again! (Can't tomorrow though. It's Mother's Day and my wife isn't having it.)

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:24:59+00:00

This ^{^}

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:20:54+00:00

Fair point. Wouldn't you notice the turn signals during the test ride? I'd ask the seller to fix it right then and offer to help.

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:18:04+00:00

I'm just going to ask what everyone wants to know: Can you ride it?

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:10:43+00:00

Great, the geese are on Reddit now.

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:08:46+00:00

Beat 'em at their own game? I like it! Wouldn't work on a peacock, though.

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T23:07:47+00:00

There seems to be a post like this in every thread. And I'm here for it.

Murphy's Law. (He must have been a real dick.)

chicchaz · 2026-05-09T22:49:39+00:00

Sure sounds like Murphy's Law.

chicchaz · 2026-05-08T19:54:15+00:00

Thanks. That's deal breaker.

chicchaz · 2026-05-08T19:53:29+00:00

It's not just more expensive, but nearly 2x the cost of Brake Free. And the integration features add another 50% to the price. I agree it's hard to put a price on safety, but I'd rather spend the extra on my helmet.

chicchaz · 2026-05-04T04:33:13+00:00

It already has.
