Why make a silly mistake?

Okay, this is a bit of a rant, so bear with me.
I am more than a little surprised by this. In the recent past, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting three people who read this blog on a regular basis. One of them asked me a question about helmets which I posted here not so [...]

Motorcycles: Happy New Year

Now that the awards are given (posts below), it is time to wish you a Happy New Year. I would love to do a wishlist 2008 like I did last year, but if you guys don’t mind, I’d like to hold that till the Auto Expo has blown right over, leaving us clues scattering in [...]

King’s beer: I’m lovin’ it

Try it: Hit the bottle

Elisabeth, who stopped drinking three rounds ago, had managed to burn her blood alcohol concentration back down to legal at .066. Interestingly, she was riding more poorly than she had at .123.
