    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    You're certainly welcome to that opinion. I don't get paid for riding my bike at all, so certainly any job would pay more and may be less risky. Being stationed in Iraq would be much more risky in my assessment. I'm not addicted to speed. My normal cruising speed is 80kph (about 50mph) :rofl:

    My point was that your story was about someone who drank heavily, took drugs and ran from the police. That's someone asking for trouble and has little to do with stats on the dangers of riding.

    I know I can't control risks. No one can, but we can all minimize them. If for you, that means giving up riding, then that's your choice. I simply choose to be a safer rider. I know all about being surrounded with distracted idiots. I live in one of the most dangerous countries in the world for...

    That is a sad story but it has little to do with riding a motorbike. Heavy drinking and drug use can get you in trouble in a number of ways. And most people don't ride down the train tracks. He probably would have ended up the same way (or dead) if he was driving a car.

    I agree with you but in my mind, the helmet is the number 1 safety gear. I don't wear "other gear" because I don't see the point. It might save you from road rash but unless they now have a personal force field built in, it's not going to save your life or save you from broken bones. A helmet...

    TikTok May Be BANNED In The US

    I think people should be more worried about overreaching government in the USA, rather than China. What are they going to do in Montana? Go around inspecting everyone's phone? It's ridiculous and unenforceable.

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    You're right about this. I was once on a one lane road and the guy ahead of me was weaving all over the place. I thought he was drunk and so I stayed back a ways. Several times he weaved into oncoming traffic. We got to a stretch of the road on a hill where there is a center divider and he...

    I agree with a lot of what you are saying. I understand why you say to have loud pipes (so other drivers/riders hear you coming) but they are annoying and illegal in some places. Here in Thailand, that can get your bike confiscated. Weaving around may not be the best idea either. It will get...

    A Job Isn’t Giving Up

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    A lot of what you said reminds me of my old job at the phone company. I wanted to start my own business for years but the long hours and unpredictable work schedule made it very difficult. That's why I retired early and moved to Thailand for a lower cost of living while I built something of my own.

    I ran across this article about neural networks and Chat GPT. It explains how it works. It's a long and heavy read but even if you just skim through it, you can get an idea.

    It's not my "take" on science, it's what science is. Perhaps I didn't word it correctly. Do you wish to enlighten me? I encourage you to listen to or read the transcript of the interview I linked to above. It wasn't done in the 1950s. The Microsoft AI story was amusing.

    I think it can already mimic sentience in some instances and it may not be possible for us to tell the difference. As with all science, the idea that consciousness is the foundation of reality is a theory. Theories are considered true until proven wrong, which is what scientists try to do...

    These examples of similarities between machines and man are just that, similarities. It doesn't make them life forms by any scientific definition. Computers have been able to out-think us, in terms of shear speed, for some time now. AI is just an improvement on the basic computer system. It can...

    Those engineers watched one too many sci-fi movies. No matter how sophisticated, AI is simply code and databases. Still just ones and zeros at it's basic level. Impossible to become sentient. Human feelings come from chemicals in the brain. It's impossible for a computer to have feelings. They...
