I’ve tried racing one of the local French down a series of hairpins, on a motorcycle no less (1950 Nimbus, but still). The guy in the large van still outran me. Had fun though, but also remembered touring rule # 22: “Never race the locals. They know the roads and have less to live for”. Read more

Riding my VFR750 on Angeles Forest once, I was dogged almost the entire way down by a big brown UPS van. Terrifying. Read more

The thing that sucks is that when an area gets closed, the damage does not stop. Sure, it’s less, but the people who abuse the land don’t care about rules. Read more

And “Minnesota” (or wherever “Little House on the Prairie” took place). I had a sister and we had to share the TV... Read more

Current VP of our HOA here, guy across the street is the Pres. He just finished putting a Turbo in his Miata last year, just finished a engine swap in a 84 pick up, still has a boat that needs rewiring. Truly all we have done over the past 2 years was remind people that if they get a shed the exterior siding has to… Read more

Unpopular opinion: Its completely filled with sand and saltwater up to the doors and below the high tide line so its completely fucked.
