  1. Tailgate

    My impatience almost cost me dearly

    Some traffic scenarios these days! Worse one recently was trying to maneuver (cage) in order to get into the dedicated lanes for the US border crossing in Tijuana (world's busiest border crossing?). A turn off was coned off Mexico style (no info). It was unmanageable. Anyway, nice recovery...

    Rear Ended

    It used to be that driving on a boulevard (say 2-4 lanes in same direction) there was no such law with a school bus flashing lights, say, dropping off/picking up a student who is not even crossing the road. Only on a two-way street (typically residential) were motorists expected to stop both...

    Rear Ended

    Well, driver may have been in the middle of a very important text or call. ;) This type of accident reminds me of one of California's most stupid and dangerous recent laws: requirement that motorists come to a complete stop for a school bus picking up/dropping off students. This, even if there...

    VR's Trip To The Land Of The Rising Sun

    Boy, you got that right! I and siblings are musing through 100's of photos, of which, some are of just weeks ago. The funeral home and we are finalizing a CD memoriam, including some photos over 100 years old.

    VR's Trip To The Land Of The Rising Sun

    Hey Kenny, I'm surprised you didn't post about Japan's NASA toilets that are standard just about everywhere. ;) BTW. this thread hits home as my mother passed away May 29, 2014 after 95 years. As your father, my mother was part of the (worldwide) Great Generation.

    VR's Trip To The Land Of The Rising Sun

    Noodles, noodles! I remember when I was in Tokyo 2 years ago even for breakfast---everybody is having noodles. Pretty complex transit systems there, too, huh? Nice pics.

    ACH ride

    As usual, this thread makes me sick. I just came from Tecate, MX (car) and, wow, that is one nice highway to possibly navigate on two! Anyway, seeing that summer is here, I hope to meet up again for something.

    how much do dealers usually mark up?

    What the heck happened to the CAD? Was is not worth more than the USD not too long ago? Man, what a surprise. Back to the dealer asking price, yeah, I about fell over because that's about the price I bought my '07 new seven years ago.

    Met The Pavement This Morning

    Some motorists seem to get upset if I maintain a safe distance from vehicle in front. You can just sense it, they may tailgate (even more reason to open more distance to avoid getting rear-ended) or make a big effort all just to switch lanes, then return to same lane but now in front. All this...

    600riders.com?

    The way I see it, Yamaha is blowing off its big toe. I mean, really, you're going to listen to your attorneys over enthusiastic Yamaha riders promoting your product and recognizing your identity? Excuse me. How much do you want for licensing? Are you sure you want Yamaha riders in your circle...

    California Law Mandates “Tobacco” Warning Labels To Be Put on All New Motorcycles Sold in State

    I was believing because CA already has ridiculous, unnecessary legislation. Take Prop 65, for example. The damn warning labels are EVERYWHERE! I barely pay attention to them anymore. Just about everywhere, we're warned about this nonsense.

    Outpatient Surgery with anesthesia

    The post treatment requirement sounds like what was supposed to do after colonoscopy pick-up: no drive, no drinking, easy eating, 24 hour monitoring rest, etc. What did I really do? Drove to casino, got sauced, gambled, buffet dinner, PARTY!

    I need a DIY maintenance pep-talk

    Of course, before anything, I advise one to get head together. I find cans to be convenient.
