I just realised on my garage wall I have a chunk of bodywork from Chaz Davies' Attack Kawasaki (yeah, that long ago) when he fell in the same turn. Thinking about it now, I bet it was the same cause ... hard brakes, tiny % throttle opening, bike gets twisted up with the back trying to pass the front

There's one turn at Miller when we used to run the full course ... fast right to a short hard-braking right. I almost landed on my head there a few times not getting the throttle closed quickly enough. Quick-turn throttle solved the problem, but I always wondered how the really fast guys did it.

But where are the WINGS!?! /s

Everyone hates waste, but generating short-term profits and providing critical government services are often at odds. Can you imagine electricity, roads or water infrastructure even getting off the ground without the government's long-term investment and initiative?

Sure (most) everyone hates waste, but DOGE won't be focused on cutting waste, it will be focused on cutting accountability. That's the whole plan. Outsource critical services and oversight so their rich friends can loot the country.

You do it because you're a true motorcycle enthusiast and a damned fine human being. Keep up the great work!

I used to (half) joke that I used less fuel racing motorcycles all weekend than I did getting out to hike or ride my mountain bike. 😐

Thankfully I've got reasonably good National Forest hiking and biking within walking distance, but it's not National Park adjacent, unfortunately.

X is and always will be the name of a kickass punk band.

I got this Smokey back in ‘87 on the first camping trip with my girlfriend (now partner). He’s been traveling around the country with us since, modified I. 2016 to resist, of course!

Please fight for Utah! The organized attack on our public lands will happen swiftly, starting with Bears Ears.

Hey, isn’t that the health nut with the brain worm and telltale gynecomastia nips from excessive steroid use? The Big Mac and coke tracks.

What was Davide’s quote about Aprilia buying the #1 plate today? I didn’t catch it all, but it sounded petty. More like Duc abandoned the #1 plate.
