I 500 running now. Track looks great. -12 degrees at the start. Looks like lots of snow in the UP. Didn’t make it up to the Sault this year. Hopefully next year.

Read the terms of service before you download the new darling, DeepSeek. I heard the program allows access to your emails, phone numbers, etc. Oh, and it also sensors answers to comply with benevolent CCP. Hard pass for me. Regardless of that, it allegedly uses open source programs so I...

What is the role of the title company, and a title insurance policy, in all of this? Doesn’t the title company ensure a seller (the bad guy in this drama) has clear title? Surely there has to be some proof the seller (i.e., the person whose name is on the title), IS who he says he is in these...

The market in US Treasuries (the bond market) is the most liquid market on planet earth. Traded 24/7/365. NOBODY tells the bond market what to do. It tells everyone else what to do. Directly or indirectly, the bond market sets the rates for every other debt instrument, one way or another...

Good question. All of the tubes on this unit are inside an insulated housing, which of course sit next to a big tub of 104 degree water. Even when this unit goes into sleep mode, it kicks on intermittently to circulate the water to keep it at a set minimum temperature. We’ve seen below zero...

I kinda had a mental over/under bet on how long that response would take. #7, this place is slacking.

I just like the sound of race car motors😁

We all have daughters and nieces. It’s not JUST about us. And to defend my sister’s left leaning political views, she deeply cares about the disadvantaged and those less fortunate than us. She has a big heart and I admire and respect her for it (no matter how misguided are some of her views 😁).

ALL of the women I know, including friends, are still incensed about that SC decision. To answer your question, yes, that had an influence on my belief that the issue would tip the scales for Harris, especially with suburban females. And don’t forget the shellacking the Republicans took in the...

Just got of the phone with sis. We are very close and can discuss politics dispassionately, like adults. She is a liberal and was bemoaning some supposed Trump executive orders that would impact her family. Specifically, an order reversing a Biden order regarding the $2,000 Medicare annual...

Enjoying this champagne powder with a fine cigar and Baileys. Happy Inauguration Day everyone.

The CCP bans the use of just about all US based social media programs in China including Facebook, Google and others. The CCP has control over Byte Dance, the owner of Tik Tok. Why the hell is this even open for debate while the CCP controls Tik Tok? Let’s just let them openly spy on us...

Nuff said.

Hard to imagine a complete liquidation. They’ve got a viable business. Just need to restructure the balance sheet and slim down the product line. Whatever, it’s just a motorcycle at the end of the day. We’ll survive. (And BTW, woulda chosen my words a bit more carefully had I known they...

Agree on the electric. Saw one at our local track this summer and it looked like fun. The advantage of instant on torque would be very helpful. Don’t know about the weight, however.

Dangit. They ran out and bought Husky, then Gas Gas, and who knows what else. I see in this article they are moving production to China. Way to destroy a storied brand.

Not an actual picture, of course, but a reasonable facsimile of my first KTM (Penton). I’ve been riding since most of you guys were in diapers😁

No way. I haven’t seen that. Bummer. I’ve had KTMs off and on for like the last 50 years. What brought this on, any insight?

Bone stock Craig. This thing pulls like a freight train when it’s on the main jet. My last bike was a 300SX. I like this one more.

KTM for life here bitches! Nice win at A1 for the home team.
