    Going to document my weight loss

    The mirror is the best way to see your progress, sometimes the scale doesn't drop much because you're building muscle, which is heavier than Crisco (fat). How you look in the mirror tells all. Good luck with everyone's fitness journey.

    Online rider training courses?

    I think any new rider training is beneficial and should be pursued, and I wasn't aware of the Calif. requirement for an M1 license. I started riding here in SoCal in the mid 1970's and all that was needed was an additional written test back then. I gained my experience riding the 405 freeway...

    Bankruptcy and exiting markets

    Whatever the product is, use a payment method that offers protection if you don't receive the item. PayPal that offers "buyer protection", that will refund your money if you don't receive the item or it's not as described, or a credit card with fraud protection, check the fine print that comes...

    2024 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Well, I guess this is my last ride for 2024. Overlooking Lake Isabella, California, I'm guessing at about 4,000 feet elevation. A very nice day, no wind, crystal clear and about 58 F. No mountain lion sightings either.

    Are E-Bikes Safe For Young Teenagers?

    Ha, cool, a real moped, I always wanted one of those, still do in fact. Here's me in the 70's on a Honda, a few years later I bought a used Yamaha RD350. What freedom that bike brought me. 50 years later and I still ride bicycles and motorbikes.

    Are E-Bikes Safe For Young Teenagers?

    Kids are licensed to drive 5000 pound cars, so how can a 16 Y/O be denied an e-bike. Lots of pros, exercise habit, outside and face not buried in a phone, meet other riders and actually talk face to face, etc. If the kid is responsible, follows basic rules and is courteous to the pedestrian...

    Drug driving

    Most drugs should be decriminalized or made to be completely legal, I personally don't use drugs except a pint or two on occasion, but free citizens should do as they like if it doesn't hurt or bother others. Stay home and get stoned, so what's it to me? No driving under the influence though...

    Total e-bike ban after a fatality in Key Biscayne, FLA

    How about this, to ride a motorized bicycle period, you must have a driver's license and a helmet. Children turned loose on e-bike is asking for trouble. Seems reasonable to me.

    E-bike user survey: charging pattern and market perspective

    I read through these survey questions, without giving any answers, it looks like a marketing survey to me. Not interested in this one or the other survey recently posted here.

    Question about brakes on any/ all bicycles with rim or disc brakes

    I've been riding MC's since about 1974, I still do. I've had early Brit bikes and Bultacos that had the shifter and rear brake on the opposite sides that are the norm in the USA. The E-bikes opposite brake levers are just what happens in a global world I guess. I just adapt. I think it is...

    Do you have the Hailong battery connectors?

    4, fits as though it was made for the purpose.

    Do you have the Hailong battery connectors?

    I use this for mine. They are spring clamp protectors for the jaws of the clamp. I always pull them off the clamps as they tend to slip, but they fit the connector perfectly.

    Got pulled over by cop.

    He could have educated you, scolded you, written you a ticket, etc, but the apparent lack of control and his screaming at you shows me what's wrong with policing these days. Imagine where this could have gone if you had "lipped off" at him.

    Unsolicited comments about your ebike lately?

    I ride motorcycles and get lumped in with the loud pipe, incessant revving at a stoplight Harley crowd. I've owned over 50 motorcycles over the years and never owned a Harley or any kind of modified exhaust. Whisper quiet is what I like and I treat the cage drivers with respect.

    Unsolicited comments about your ebike lately?

    Where I live, no one gives a rats ass. I leave them alone and the public at large do likewise. I do say hi to folks and smile, etc. Not everything has to be a confrontation. Anyway, it works for me.

    So what's your other hobbies or interests?

    Me too, minimalist that is. I was up to 13 running, insured, and registered motorbikes at my worst bike phase, and in California, just the tags alone were a big expense. Since I was my own mechanic owning and keeping them in good riding nic became a job. Now one or two M/C is my maximum and...
