    Vasectomy

    I had mine two years ago. I have one daughter, age 9, with my ex, and I decided my baby-raising days are behind me. It was fairly hassle-free, other than learning that I have a pretty high resistance to local anesthesia. I felt most everything for the first snip, but the doc was kind enough...

    Those who went from a Busa to a B-King, any regrets?

    I do some pretty long trips with my better half. How does the King treat passengers? She's fairly comfortable on the Busa, but I've been feeling like changing it up some and have always liked the look of the King.

    Oh yes I will be there!!! 11/1/12

    For real. That's pretty much what I was thinking, although he was fantastic when I saw them a couple years ago. Bianca: I don't see any comments. Maybe not public?

    The Who kick off 'Quadrophenia and More' tour - The Who Looks like Pete was feeling pissy about the sound. The audience were less delighted, however, when Pete Townshend walked offstage towards the end of the second half of the performance and didn’t come back. This was due to sound...

    I went to the Darkside - AKA, car tire on the bike

    If it doesn't hinder your riding style or get you hurt, enjoy the savings. That approach isn't for me, but that shouldn't slow you down at all. :)

    Heated riding gear

    Gerbings heated jacket and glove liners. The only thing I would do differently would be to buy the Gerbings heated gloves instead, because the only gloves I can wear the glove liners under are a set of Olympia winter gauntlets with the inners ripped out.

    A Wreck and a Life Lesson

    Man, I really don't mean any disrespect. But this happened on an on-ramp? There are few places that serve as poorer choices for getting on it. Decreasing radii are actually NOT all that uncommon with on and off ramps, and they generally have pretty low recommended speeds for that reason...

    Leather Jackets with clip??

    My mesh Joe Rocket jacket for summer riding has snap loops that I attach to my belt. If your jacket has the 8" zipper in the back, you could probably have someone sew a mating zipper half onto your jeans.

    My Frogg Togg outwear thread

    I have 5 years on my set, no issues and they've kept me mostly dry for all 5 years. I get a little wet at spots, but it beats all spots being soaked. My better half is still using the set she hiked the entirety of the AT in almost ten years ago. She's due for a replacement. :D I'm not...

    you can have it for 27k...

    He must really like the way coke smells. It seems his idea of reasonable is in line with an expensive habit.

    What made you decide to buy the Hayabusa?

    Always wanted one, but mostly rode with cruiser and tourer buddies and the price was never right when I looked. That, and I thought maybe I'd enjoy a smaller bike for the twisties and keep the cruiser for longer hauls. I had just paid off a cruiser and a guy at work rolled up on his...

    No more synthetic oil change interval debate for me now

    I ran Rotella Synth 5w40 when I bought my '07 with 1.2k miles on it over Memorial Day weekend in '10, and the bike seemed happy. I changed it at 4-5k miles. Then I ran a couple cycles of Amsoil 10w40, sticking with the 4-5k mile interval, and the bike seemed happier. I never really noticed...

    So my sons 1st grade reading aide has a speech impediment.

    The phlebotomist who gave my daughter her first round of shots after birth was extremely cross-eyed. I had a nervous giggle, but everything turned out ok. Thee Thpot Wun, Blanca. It'll be ok.
