One slightly scary thing for me thing is that a few years ago I went to Las Vegas for work, and on my last day I rented a car and drove around the Lake Mead area (Boulder City) and it was extremely windy that day, like continuous 30mph winds, the dust was awful visibility was maybe a mile most...

As usual, Veritasium production quality is amazing and covers this better than almost any video the history, dangers, and coverup by the related manufacturing companies. "In response, Vandiver Brown stated that Johns-Manville's physical examination program had, indeed, also produced findings of...

Motul 5100 is about $50/4 liter and is a really solid powersports oil. It's available on amazon often in same-day delivery or next day depending on where you are. If you really need something today you can get Rotella T6 5W-40 at walmart cheap but personally I like to stick with proper...

Taos: Replaced factory Goodyear Assurance Finesse with Vredestein Hitrac All Season due to a bubble in one tire (my fault).

That was definitely true with the old 500, as well as the INT650/GT650 and old Himmy 411, but the Himalayan 450 and Guerilla 450 in particular are very modern, with modern liquid cooled, fuel injected DOHC engines. The 650 family is a bit more old school, being air/oil cooled but they feel great...

I think it's important to mention that a big part of the reason they failed was how other Harley riders treated (and often, still treat) entry level Harley riders and any non-Harley riders. I'd say about half of Harley riders I pass don't wave. I go out of my way to even wave to Scooter riders-...

No, I just have a different viewpoint and set of values than yours in that I believe that sometimes, thinking about your actions in the context of more than just yourself and your immediate surroundings has its place, and sometimes rules and regulations exist for good reasons. Nothing I've said...

I think anyone who has been paying attention to the motorcycle industry over the last decade or so has seen this starting, but I think it's a lot worse than people thought. Personally, I don't know how Harley saves themselves. A CEO who doesn't know motorcycles, a culture which resulted in...

(Moderator note: Removed ai content posted by someone else that was originally quoted here) If you dig a little bit deeper into the actual sources for that, there was in fact a study done analyzing 44 years of data which show that there is in fact a 3-5% reduction in fatalities. Which doesn't...

Again, good for you, but facts are not on your side here. The 815 people killed in motor vehicle crashes and their families in 2025 in the state of South Carolina would probably disagree with you. Where, exactly, do you think South Carolina falls on the scale of fatality rate for motor vehicle...

Mobil 1 ESP X2 is one of the few oils that meet VWs extremely strict 508 spec for new vehicles, it's one of the best oils available.

Having a difficult job doesn't mean you get to ignore the law, and it doesn't mean you are above everyone else and get to do whatever you want. This is the very definition of entitlement.

Great, you are responsible and properly maintain your vehicles. Clap clap clap. News flash for you, you aren't the only person in the world, and there are a LOT of people who do NOT maintain their cars properly. I'm guessing you live in a rural area and the most exposure to other people you get...

I don't live in Texas, never will, and don't even want to consider setting foot in the state, so no worries there.
