    Off-duty police chief in PA suspended after pulling gun on motorcyclist

    Looks like a Grom or scooter. Under 50cc doesn’t need a plate in most states. Officer made a radio call detailing traffic violations. I’ve seen scooters riding like that, certainly. LEO did not have lights on when he stopped...

    Nokian Remedy WRG5

    We had WRG2’s on several high-mileage driven cars: we’d put them on in the fall and use them up in a year / 40,000 miles. They had very good winter performance, but seemed to get noisy as they wore down. Hopefully the WRG5 is better in that regard. Now we use Nokian One three seasons and R3’s...

    Sportwagen at VIR...

    Dropped my GSX-R750 in a corner at NY Safety Track at age 68, so no more motorcycle track days for me, at least on that bike….

    Yeah, almost like that was a joke about first-time track day drivers or something. 😉

    Are license plates referred to as "tags" in some parts of the United States?

    Have to be careful with using jimmies instead of sprinkles in other places….. Go to Boston and tell someone you want a hoagie and they will look at you like you are a Martian. In Boston they are usually “subs” but in some neighborhoods (not necessarily Italian) they are called “spukies”...

    I love the snow but ... Kinda done with it

    The NCAA Lacrosse tournament started this week. There are quite a few teams from “Upstate” New York this year: Albany, Siena, Colgate, Cornell, and Syracuse. And RIT and teams like RPI are D3 powers. There was a big discussion about what “upstate” actually means, as NYC dwellers think of West...

    Keep your eye on Xfinity/Comcast internet

    We were paying nearly $300 per month for Comcast. Got a much less expensive fiber optic service in NH and performance was good. So we switched in Boston as well. Brought all the gear in to the store to cancel service. They usually ask why and try to resell you with discounts. When ai told her...

    Portable jump box with air compressor

    Yes, two winters and my son uses it with his laptop on trips. Bought AntiGravity when they were one of the first LiFe units. Gooloo works just as well. The Viair pump we bought has alligator clips rather than a 12V plug. 12V plugs are limited to 180 watts so direct battery connection is a...

    Best place to put a dashcam?

    Agree. We’ve had front and rear BlackVue’s mounted in Boston for 7 years so far. It’s next to the rear view so not obvious. There are integrated rear view mirror / dash cams available. Also agree rear cam is advisable. Our car got hit from behind and pushed into the car in front. Five minutes...

    Using seat-belt inertia lock to stay put for performance driving....how can't this be safe?

    All kinds of competition products get dropped due to insurance liability concerns. We developed a motorcycle camera mount with a piezo gyro to keep the camera level. Realized we would never be able to get insurance…. If you take two pieces of aluminum bar stock, drill them at each end, and get...

    Using seat-belt inertia lock to stay put for performance driving....how can't this be safe?

    I made an aluminum clamp for the lap portion. Before that, zip tie.

    Portable jump box with air compressor

    Saint Todd to the rescue. Although we use a separate Viair pump (model 90P - now discontinued) as we also have trailer tires to inflate. We have a Gooloo jump pack.
