    Who wears a hat?

    I've never been a big on wearing hats. But I got in the habit of wearing racing team ball caps when out in the sun, after knowing too many people in the same field who have/had skin cancer.

    Who's never traveled outside of the United States?

    I never traveled out of the USA until my 20's, and that was only into Tijuana. Since my early 30's, we've traveled around the globe, including all 50 States. Lived in European and South American countries for months at time. Visited many more countries, and never had an experience that I would...

    A new 2025 BMW R12s motorcycle due at dealer in Sept 2025 is mine if I want it.

    Okay. For the sake of those who are unaware, it's not necessarily the hours of use (although use can speed up the process). It's the time which has passed since the shock-absorbing EPS was made. The shock absorbing material deteriorates over time regardless of whether the helmet is ever worn...

    A new 2025 BMW R12s motorcycle due at dealer in Sept 2025 is mine if I want it.

    Yes, my old RF700 also LOOKS great on the outside. The EPS in particular deteriorates over time, even just sitting. While it LOOKS fine, it will not perform as originally designed. Shoei is even more conservative than the recognized industry standard, with their helmet lifespan...

    One of the nicer homes I have seen at this price point- $640k USD Seminole, TX

    Very true. I've traveled around most of this country, and there are very few places I would choose to live. I am happy to be in such a place now, but no, I won't say exactly where that is, because the last thing I want is even more influx from people fleeing their poorly managed States. Then...

    A new 2025 BMW R12s motorcycle due at dealer in Sept 2025 is mine if I want it.

    I have an RF700 that I wore in the 90's. It is very old. The EPS liner in particular deteriorates over time. It is highly recommended to replace any helmet at 5 years in-service, as they do deteriorate, and their ability to protect as well if needed, also deteriorates. Racing organizations...

    Tow Capacity w/ aftermarket Hitch

    Yeah, they've been advocating towing larger, more expensive trailers, so they can sell larger, more expensive trailers to more people without a proper tow vehicle for a given trailer. Yes, they have their carefully set up tests they take videos of, to push their agenda of selling more of those...

    Was Your Dad or Granddad a Believer in Non-Detergent Motor Oil?

    Both of my grandpas were born in 1904. All I know is that my dad's dad was a Chevrolet man, and my mom's dad was a Ford man. Both excellent men, but I have no idea what their automotive lubrication preferences were. The only memory I have of my dad (1930-2023) and his choices in motor oil, is...

    Wife's assessment when the Wife dies before the Husband

    I'd say that's entirely dependent on the people involved. Not their gender. My wife is awesome. She would be just fine if I died first. I could certainly be self-sufficient (again) as well. We are together because we love each other and choose to be together, NOT because we need someone to...

    Project Cobra

    I would definitely install this or something like it on the passenger compartment sheetmetal, especially on those foot boxes: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dei-050520

    Mavis tries to strike again

    It was the continuous push from management to always go for the usually unnecessary (or often outright fraudulent) upsell, that convinced me to leave the consumer car repair business.

    Parenting concerns

    Putting a girl in danger or actually hurting her, especially a much younger girl, wouldn't have flown with my parents. If I ever had, and they had seen it, I'd have been disciplined on the spot, and likely would've had some further punishment like being grounded. I'd talk to the fiance to find...
