This company's logo is really similar to Ruger's https://www.merlinbikegear.com/

It's a beautiful day and my motorcycle starter solenoid decides to die. I'm legit mad that I don't have a kick starter. Thankfully the solenoid is pretty easy to fix.

After having a motorcycle for a few months now I cannot imagine buying a sports car. I don't think a sports car could ever be as fun as a bike.

The chief of the US Army Air Corp during WW2, Henry H. Arnold, learned to fly at the first flight school established by the Wright brothers. His training aircraft was a Wright Model B.

Dutch is just German with more consonants

I have a nagging urge to buy a single shot 50 bmg rifle and start casting and reloading for it. I have no idea where I would be able to shoot that or when I would have the time to do that but I still think about it pretty regularly.

I'm currently impatiently waiting for scans from my first roll of film photographs

This really sounds like NOAA is saying that climate change doesn't make hurricanes worse.

"There is no strong evidence of century-scale increasing trends in U.S. landfalling hurricanes or major hurricanes"

"The evidence for an upward trend is even weaker if we look at U.S. landfalling hurricanes, which even show a slight negative trend beginning from 1900 or from the late 1800s."

I forgot how thoroughly good the Twilight Zone is.

I called it

Apparently there might be 650cc and 975cc pan america bikes coming from harley in the future. That sounds awesome.

Why don't MtG and other card games use an ELO rating system?

I bought a rifle with a threaded muzzle which means that Im now obligated to start looking for a can for it.

After realizing that I have a "retro" helmet, a "retro" jacket, and a pretty retro bike I've decided to preemptively adopt the term "motorcycle hipster".

This guy explaining how JRR Tolkien would prefer 6mm ARC. This is exactly the kind of nerd I enjoy.

I just realized that Andy's comment about the Count of Monte Cristo in Shawshank Redemption was foreshadowing.

I wish I liked coffee or beer because small town coffee shops or breweries would be cool little trips on my bike. Now I mostly just get tea or ice cream.
