Saw the new Jumanji with the Rock. Entertaining movie, but I wouldn't download it. It had a lot of motorcycles in it.

Neil Young definitely gets extra points for being one of the 1967 Woodstock performers that is still alive and performing.

I'll take Willie because he is a Texan. Neil is from the Toronto area.
I always thought Young's "Four Dead in Ohio" was a masterpiece.
It almost makes me feel like I am there at Kent State during the unrest.

I SEE a lot of ghost bicycles (painted all white and chained to a pole) as memorials for unfortunate cyclists. I have probably seen only 2 motorcycle memorials in the past decade.
Placing the memorial for the late Mr Smith was a noble and thoughtful deed.

Cool. Sort of a condensed version of the IROC series for motorcycles.

A more affordable break through is the Nissan variable compression ration engine. Engines need a high compression ratio for fuel economy, but a low compression ratio when boosted by a turbocharger. VC-T (variable compression and turbochaged) engine claims to give you the both of best worlds. The compression ratio remains 14:1 for economy until you step on it, at which time it drops to 8:1. Unfortunately, it will debut in an Infinity. Its not available in Nissan cars until later. jalopnik.com/worlds-first-variable-compression-ratio-engine-could-ki-1785295848 |

Happy New Year, Scoot Dogs.
Temp is around 30 degrees on the 3rd Coast too. I didn'ride today, but I put my wife's scoot on the battery charger.

I would read a lot of engine swap threads on a Honda Ruckus forum. Riders do more engine swaps on the Ruckus than any other scoot.

I agree about the 12 inch wheels on a 300cc. Taller tires work better for the bumps and wet roads.

Lets try not to mention politicians on the forum. We don't want the conversation to sink to their level of ethics and consciousness.
