    Computer guys....need your input!

    Get her to try out the keyboard. I like my Acer laptop I bought 2 years ago and it's still running fine. I even like the extended use battery. I dislike the keyboard, though. The non-click type (I bought it without playing with it) drives me nuts.

    Scorpion EXO-400 Helmet

    No other helmets to compare this to, but my impression is: loud. The wind buffetting just seems loud, and > 80 K it just seems loud. Loud. Are Shoeis better, anyone?

    Insurance for British Columbia

    I just renewed my insurance today. The ICBC portion had to stay with ICBC, but the fire/theft portion I purchased with Beacon. It was about $900 cheaper than fire/theft with ICBC. It's totally ridiculous. This 42 year old guy with 1 year motorbike 26 year driving experience ended up being...

    Well, got my bike....but not an FZ6R

    I went to sit on one earlier in June at the local BMW/Ducati dealer. Almost talked myself into it. Wifey was there luckily and talked me out. Mostly, I don't see a lowering option on the internet for this thing. I would have gone red. I'm still on craigslist looking around. <sigh> it's...

    Helmets are worn for a reason

    But these guys have gotta sign their donor cards. If they don't care about their own lives enough, maybe they may care about other's.

    [NSFW] This is a bar. Tell me a joke. [NSFW]

    OK. Non-American offering this one. This 80 year old man and his wife went to their doctor, seeking to have a baby. They have been hearing about these advances in reproductive technology. The doctor gives the man a specimen jar, and tells him to get a semen sample. Well first, the man...

    So what's everybody's hobbies (besides bikes)

    Photography as well. 4 pretty girls at home to take pictures of (wife + 3 daughters). Camera yet another Canon - the T1i. Loves this camera's clarity at high ISOs. 12 years of amateur Photoshop tinkering, but since getting my iMac, man, I don't need most of my skills anymore. Digging pixels...

    Should I Move out?

    @Parcho: I'm not trying to politicalize at all, and also off topic, but I feel for you guys down there. Holy! A heart attack up here costs nothing, except the opportunity lost by being off for those weeks. @MC: housing costs here resemble Redondo, and I'm happy for folks who live in...

    Should I Move out?

    Hi MC. Some random thoughts. 1. You and I must live in different worlds. $350 for rent? I think I'd rather be safe at home, than to live in a place that only charges $350. 2. I moved out at 26, but I was making good money by then. 3. For myself, moving out was a great life experience in...

    Wish Me Luck...

    As Jon says, at least get it evaluated. In all provinces, if your daytime drowsiness with sleep apnea is past a certain epworth score, your driving license will be restricted as a reportable illness. Think uncontrolled diabetes as an example. Please be careful.

    Got beat up real good (weak stomach? skip this one)

    Hey Roundhouse, open tournament or dojomate? Back when I was doing karate a dojomate of mine got me in the nose pretty good, but didn't break it, just bled. I kinda, but not fully know how you feel.

    lowering

    Like everyone else here with a short inseam, I find the RT lowering link quite a boost on the confidence, particularly being able to flat foot it at lights and such. No complaints. No looking back.

    Online Discount Codes

    Bought new Axo leather gloves from Jake Wilson ($20), balaclava ($0.99!). They had SS mesh jackets for $49, which I didn't pick up. No discount codes. But Jeesh, the sales going on now is crazy.

    Lowering link...

    I wish you luck in looking for the lowering link in Canada. The Ontario dealer for Roarin' Toyz was not helpful. Roarin' Toyz itself won't ship to Canada, won't process a credit card with a Canadian billing address. Coquitlam's a suburb of Vancouver, so I had mine shipped to Washington to...

    fz6r to xj6

    You can find our FZ6R fairings for sale on Ebay, but not the XJ6s. Too bad.
