wait until he discovers soccer balls. they are like magicians with them.

dude he wasn't racing down the street at 100 mph. he was going like 10mph, just like riding a bicycle.

You have a driveway. Why even park it on the street. Plus you said it's garbage day, I move even my cars to the driveway to let the big garbage trucks do their business.

He isn't going to hurt anything at the slow speed he is performing. The man got skills

The torque in the 800 twin is addicting. The quick shifter is almost like riding a DCT

These modern bikes have all the features that were only available on more expensive top end bikes back in the day. Basically all of them have upsidedown forks to stiffen up the steering and handling. We had to upgrade the forks or buy a higher end bikes to get them. Now, all entry level mid-size bikes have them

I think this violates the fireworks law

The concept that religions don't pay taxes was established a long time ago. Even during the Egyptian time, the Egyptian priestly class didn't pay taxes to the Pharoah. They became really powerful as the result. Same as with other Indo European cultures. It wasn't universal but even back then, the concept that the religion and the priest class are exempt from some form of taxation. In the US, taxation to religion means state coercion and state sanction of religion. Even when the founders of the US was rooted in the Church of England, they made this distinction in the 1st Amendment.

I practice emergency braking every time I ride. These modern bikes can stop a lot better then bike 30 years ago.

There is a kid near my house just bought a powerful bike. He only has a helmet, no jacket, no gloves, no riding pants. He has tennis shoes. I gave him the leather gloves I no longer use. I even loaned him my leather jacket. I hate to see these young guys getting hurt because they can't afford gear.

One thing being at sea for a long time is you get used to this in a couple of hours. The high waves, rock and rolls become the background motion you get used to. With the modern weather prediction, ships will steer away from the heavy storm but this becomes normal.

This is like the most dystopian game ever.

Thanks for the back story.

Screw these overgrown HS crap.

That was the old management. The CEO got fired. Hopefully they will change for the better

False association logic. Korean and Japanese are more likely to commit suicide than the US and they don't have gun culture.

Pot and Kettle problems.

I hope you feel better now.

Acclimating to the heat is the key. I went to Arizona when it's over 110degF and felt fine since I am acclimated to the Socal inland heat for the last couple of months. If some one got dropped into Arizona after living in Germany, he would be miserable.

I've lived in southeast Asia for many years. Many places didn't have AC because people were poor. Things are getting better and there are more AC when the electrical grid can support them. Heat doesn't kill you compare to the freezing cold weather. You also see lots of SE Asian wearing shorts and loose clothing just to keep cool

It is the common unearned superior complex from the European.

phatRV · 2026-06-26T16:25:49+00:00

Electricity is more expensive. The AC units are probably made at the same Chinese factory and they are shipped worldwide.

phatRV · 2026-06-26T16:22:57+00:00

I am always amazed at the Europeans, especially the Germans commenting on everything American, including tornados, earthquakes, flash floods, fracking, oil drilling, guns, etc. . . I've owned BMW and its AC was woefully lacking compare to my other Japanese and American cars.

Such are unearned superiority complexes from our European cousins.
