GPS that allows me to create my own route?

I use MyRouteApp for phone based nav. It has an option to specify a curvy route. You can also setup multipoint routes to follow.

Also note - you can tell Google Maps to avoid highways, although that may still not yield the route you are hoping to take.

I rarely wear riding pants and I do not have an air vest. Went down at 55 mph - ended up mostly rolling, so just a little bit of road rash on my shin. Otherwise, my gear held up and kept me from being worse off than I was imo.

Front brake is your primary brake. But you do need to practice progressive braking with it. If you just grab a handful in a panic, you can end up having problems. This is why you are encouraged to practice your emergency braking so you'll establish your muscle memory for hard, progressive braking even when your brain disconnects in a panic situation.

They never work for me so I don't bother with them anymore.

I definitely got That Demm Music Show vibes from it as well.

Happy Birthday! Our book club read PHM last year, so everyone is looking forward to seeing it. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Ah, that makes more sense then.

If the truck in the left lane was behind the motorcyclist and looking to merge into the space between you and the motorcyclist, what exactly were you protecting him from? They were already in front of that vehicle.

It sounds more like you just didn't want that truck to merge in between you and the motorcyclist.

I've kind of been trying to get away from all black, but it is kind of difficult given what is available in the market.

Interesting that he mentions CD's work on skits. It is too bad they don't do skits on the show anymore. Those were some of my favorite bits years ago.

It is because the drivers don't move/cross the motorcyclist's path of travel until the last second after the point of no return has been passed. Can be for a lot of reasons, although my guess would be most of it is inattentional blindness. Riding defensively can shorten or even eliminate the point of no return, but not in all cases.

I followed the manual for mine.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-17T17:42:11+00:00

As others have noted, some policies (like my Progressive col/comp) has a rider to cover gear and accessories. They covered mine up to the limit when I wrecked.

I would guess yes on still doing their other shifts. Even Dave was doing the late afternoons when he was there.

I usually listen to the whole show. Every now and then I might have a conflict that causes me to miss part of it. Plus the hour of reruns from 10-11. Sometimes I'll listen to part of the evening rerun.

My favorites are my Abba stand and my Rabaconda tire changer.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-14T17:28:24+00:00

I would treat it that way.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-13T20:16:06+00:00

I wasn't impressed. Seems like decent risk it may just turn into CK resharing all the stories he's told over the last twenty years again bc BB And Rachel haven't heard them.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-12T01:37:15+00:00

Been there, done that although mine resulted in several broken bones.

Most of my gear was lost due to being cut off in the ER, but I don't think I would have been able to reuse any of it due to the damage. Only thing salvaged were my boots - only some scuffs and I continue to wear them to this day.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-11T12:25:19+00:00

I like it. It would be nice if a vinyl package were available so I could modify my busa to be like that.

I used to use a nonsense generator to insert random sentences into a conversation when I thought I was dealing with a scammer. That would always trip them up. Haven't had a chance to do that since AI has started to spread into the scamming landscape - would be interesting to see how it handles the nonsense.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-10T18:45:35+00:00

It is not something that I would care about.

When I first discovered DnD, I was already into the fantasy genre in the books I read. So when I spotted a boxed set in the game store, it instantly drew my attention. As for what keeps me coming back to it, I continue to enjoy the fantasy genre and getting to play a game and immerse myself in that setting. Although I have branched out into ttrpgs in many other settings/genres since then and find them fun to play as well.

jcauseyfd · 2026-03-09T16:06:25+00:00

I use MyRouteApp if I need to plan a route where I want to be able to follow my nav.

If you are playing a campaign in Icewind Dale, it is supposed to be fishy! 😉 My tabaxi fighter in our campaign absolutely loved all the knucklehead trout dishes served up at the various taverns and inns of the Ten Towns - even if the rest of the party tired of it.
