Bike public sevice announcement:
Check your tire pressure!!!!
I know it's warming up and you can't wait to ride, but the 3 most important things in how a bike handles and steers are:
1. Tire Pressure
2. Tire pressure
3. Tire pressure
After racing for so long it's my Pet Peeve, It's really amazing how many bikes I get to work on that have tires that are 10 - even 20psi low when I get them 
Most of all in the Spring, people hop on after the bike sitting all Winter and blast off, not realizing this thing is steering like a bus. 
*As a general rule for street bikes, between 30 and 35 psi and your good to go.*
Now dammit, go do it!!! 
Rant over........

Bikers please make sure your front headlamp is working and ON!
Your are a tough item to see and I don't wanna pull out in front of you for not being able to see you. I've had enough friends killed on bikes for any reasons, I don't wanna injure you because I can't see you.
You have a hard enough time with people NOT paying attention for bikers as it is.

Andddd this is the reason I ride with my brights on all of the time. I'd rather take the chance of getting pulled over for riding with my brights on than having somebody "not see me" and pull out in front of me 
But agreed with the OP. I'm hoping to get some new rubbers in the next few weeks. If not, I'll for sure be checking my tires before getting out on the road

I'll take that bouncing blinding beam of light in my rearview, even slow up just a bit so you can go around.
Truckers and Bikers, never did either but being aorund then enough I know the shit they go through.
Now that AFJ asshat spliting lanes on Columbia Parkway WHILE riding a wheelie, hope you fucking die. There is a time and a place to have fun, that wasn't the time.
Like here :)
Yes a IDIOT buddy of mine rode his Duc from Detroit to the west coast and back in 2009. AKA "Walking the Duc" |

Unless it was a very unique bike, I don't see how one could be so sure.

Because I saw the rider getting off the bike?
Same black leather jacket, blue jeans, and a flat black helmet with the stupid green mohawk on it.
Yep, just be 10,000 of them on Columbia Parkway headed toward AFJ..... |
