General Banter / Spare tire
« on: June 02, 2023, 08:08:26 AM »
My wife's new Volvo does not come with a spare tire, not even a donut. I don't know what to say. Apparently that's a thing now.

After 2 full seasons, I have not found riders that hold a candle to the best of you guys.

Salute.

I just now saw this thread, though I did see you post in Facebook. Glad you had fun, I've heard the Ozarks have decent roads.     :P

General Banter / Re: Data Breach?

I disagree with your analysis and comparisons. The storage of the passwords is what is a safety risk. If a person uses a password here that they also use at Chase or TCF, and the password is here is hacked, then that person is at risk.  As I mentioned in my previous post, that is my concern and why I have a site specific password I use for only this site. I wanted to bring this to the attention of others. Secondly,  regarding cost. Kudos to you for running this site. As you know, I have offered to contribute to that in the past,  which you declined.

Roger,
Open this site in Firefox or Chrome. Both browsers have explicit warnings in the address bar, this site is running without encryption. It's woefully behind the curve. I mentioned this to Admin a year ago and my concerns were brushed aside. Clearly it is an issue so at that time I dedicated the password I use here to only be used here. Just giving a heads-up to others.

Yes, I saw that too. Apparently he's trying to get a go fund me page or similar so he can get a new bike. Pathetic.

He's using an Insta360 with an "invisible" selfie stick mounted on the tail. That's what was throwing me, very hard to see the stick.

I'd never heard of this joker until he was mentioned in a recent thread. Thankfully I only spent 3 minutes watching his YouTube nonsense.
90% of MSTA riders are better than him. He's a straight line speed freak. Not impressed.

Though how does he get the camera angle shots? He must use a drone?

I was taking my morning constitutional while watching his clip, so at least the time wasn't wasted.   :-p

Welcome! What's your real name?  :)
Great seeing a fellow Honda rider. Watch for a couple group rides in September.
We focus on individual responsibility as well as "Pace" riding, with the occasional bust of "measured holiganism"

General Banter / Do not go gentle into that good night ......

From a fellow motorcyclists FB page. Good stuff.

Go Fast Don't Die


"He who becomes the slave of habit,
who follows the same routes every day,
who never changes pace,
who does not risk and change the color of his clothes,
who does not speak and does not experience,
dies slowly.


He or she who shuns passion,
who prefers black on white,
dotting ones "i’s" rather than a bundle of emotions, the kind that make your eyes glimmer,
that turn a yawn into a smile,
that make the heart pound in the face of mistakes and feelings,
dies slowly.

He or she who does not turn things topsy-turvy,
who is unhappy at work,
who does not risk certainty for uncertainty,
to thus follow a dream,
those who do not forego sound advice at least once in their lives,
die slowly.

He who does not travel, who does not read,
who does not listen to music,
who does not find grace in himself,
she who does not find grace in herself,
dies slowly.

He who slowly destroys his own self-esteem,
who does not allow himself to be helped,
who spends days on end complaining about his own bad luck, about the rain that never stops,
dies slowly.

He or she who abandons a project before starting it, who fails to ask questions on subjects he doesn't know, he or she who don't reply when they are asked something they do know,
die slowly.

Let's try and avoid death in small doses,
reminding oneself that being alive requires an effort far greater than the simple fact of breathing.

Only a burning patience will lead
to the attainment of a splendid happiness."

— Martha Medeiros
