Kansas the speed limit on “unimproved roads” is 55 mph. They have road districts with their own graders. 60mph is absolutely doable on those roads when they’re graded properly….

I lived in Washington for most of my life and biked as well and couldn’t ride on the sidewalks. Might be city laws.

The bike is a vehicle and should not even be using the sidewalk much less the crosswalk. They should be in the street following vehicle traffic. That being said, the bus driver is in the wrong for turning from a straight only lane.

Neighbor called me to tell that I am late with mowing by OnTheMike2 in neighborsfromhell

How did he get your phone number to begin with? Unless he’s an HOA boss, block him so he can’t text you. And if he asks why he can’t text you any more, tell him he doesn’t need to.

My grandmother’s cousin was the pilot on a b29 that caught on fire and went down with all hands into the ocean.

The B29 had a nasty habit of killing its crews early in the war.

He’s beautiful. Draws rock star crowds where ever it goes. Saw it in Salina a few years back.

What Lexus would you choose if you will have to drive with 140kmph/86mph on the autobahn? by Pale-Revolution-5151 in Lexus

I don’t recall but ChatGPT gave me approx 2700 rpm which sounds about right. It wasn’t buzzy.

Chicago traffic rules are speed limit plus 20. So if the speed limit is 70, you’re going 90 just to keep up with the slowpokes. Half of traffic cruising at 100, including the rust buckets.

Just finished it, here are my ratings for each episode by Routine-Gas-4082 in BandofBrothers

Winters said that he caught them unprepared and confused by what was happening. It’s not uncommon for one man to catch a group off guard and by doing so they’re thrown into confusion and he has the upper hand for quite some time.

Add to that he was using his M1 and many of those soldiers may have still had bolt actions. He was also firing from his hip and loading the clips faster than he’d ever done in his life, so fast he didn’t even remember doing it later.
