I always fly b-class so unlimited vodka!




This is a great interim step toward carbon-less flight, I am tired of jet trails streaming across my sunsets!

The Big Book of Motorbikes.

Probably not worth it's own thread, but good news nonetheless. Seen in the American Motorcyclist.

The Big Book of Motorbikes by Renny Scaysbrook (of CycleNews) is available for your children and grandchildren. Graphics are sorta meh, but better than a sharp stick in the eye!

Last year, I wanted to buy a book for one of my grandsons, to go with his new PW50 that he got for Christmas. Went to a huge bookstore and... there are NO books for young kids about motorcycles! Howinnaheck are we going to get young people interested in motorcycles if there are no books for them?

Saw this on MSNBC this morning. Heart warming to see uncommon things being done by common people...and how their lives were affected!
