My wife was a CPA, and is very smart with money. She won't waste money on bad deals. That said, casual observers might think we waste money on frivolous things. We enjoy life, but live within our means. If an indulgence won't hurt your standard of living or future plans, by all means enjoy...

That's quite the description, I appreciate it. Another dual-sport I've considered, is the also simplistic XR650L. What makes the DR the bike to choose over the XR650L? I'm fine with the height of the XR, so the DR is no problem. But I'll admit I don't know which would better, and why. I will...

Eat cheese?

I've driven a bunch of them as rental cars. I'd rate them as acceptable. But if I were shopping that category of car, I'd choose an Accord or Camry over an Altima. An Altima should be much cheaper to buy than the Accord or Camry, so that's something to consider.

I've been debating a dual-sport or lighter ADV bike for over a year. I just haven't been able to decide. The DR650 is in the running, primarily because of it's simplicity. A more modern EFI engine with attendant ECU and electronics on the fancier ADV's have their appeal, but also pose a downside...

One of the best, and most often overlooked maintenance procedures you can do on a motorcycle. Most bikes can also be improved with appropriate spring rates for the load they carry, and better damping can often be achieved with rebuilds with quality aftermarket parts, unless your bike was...

I'm having visions of looking like the Gang member in Robocop, who got inundated with toxic waste...

After seeing McDonalds 'food' mentioned repeatedly on Bitog, I bought some. Biggest mistake of this month...

There are three Arai helmet shapes: Round oval, Intermediate oval, and Long oval. Then there are different thickness liners, which are also adjustable, to fine-tune the fit. In the Arai lineup, the Intermediate oval shell shape with the standard liners, fits me perfectly. The Round oval, and...

A couple young adults, and their families came by in the afternoon, with cards, and dead animal flesh to grill, claiming I was their dad. Earlier in the day the wife and I took the sportscars out for drives. It was the second Fathers Day without my own dad, which still sucks. Other than missing...

We don't live within a few feet of our neighbors. .Gov believes in limiting itself, although that's slowly changing for the worse as the big .gov loving plague discovers the area. Mountains, and the roads in those mountains.

After seeing how it held up in comparison to other oils in an extreme racing application, I've used it for years.

I'd find a new Doc. He sounds like an idiot to me. You're bone-on-bone, and he wants you to suffer for who knows how long, until he thinks a new hip will last through the rest of your life. None of us is guaranteed tomorrow, so it just might last the rest of your life. You're suffering, and...

Reading this thread I realized I've never had an employment résumé.

What tire lasts 1,000,000 miles?

No. I think it was referred to as a Big Mac Attack back in the day...

All this talk of fast food every day, I decided to try some yesterday. My body went into full revolt about 9:00 last night. It was a long, unpleasant night...

They're a fine paved road and gravel road rig. It would never cut it on a serious 4wd trail. Too big, lack of ground clearance, bad breakover angle, etc.

Larry, if you had comprehended what I said in the first post you quoted, maybe you wouldn't have felt compelled to make false accusations. You made a mistake, I called you on it. Then you decided to compound your mistake by suggesting that I needed help. I think we're all caught up now.

There's a sucker born every minute.
