Nobody Walks in LA

Wednesday, October 31st, 2007

Obesity. Poor Fitness. Traffic. High Pollution. These are the plagues of modern American society. I just got a perfect example why.
Right across from our office, not even 1/8 mile away, we just had a new restaurant opened. Not even a restaurant, just Super Fancy fast food joint where people come for lunch.
Would you walk there? […]

Attack of a Clueless Prius

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

It was only 5 days ago that I wrote about Prius drivers. I got some comments in response both off and online. Basically while some people admit that the Prius drivers were somewhat oblivious others bashed me for being subjective and having I quote a “confirmation bias”. So today I got more confirmation without a […]

I got this jacket right when I started riding. Well, when I started to get out of my parking garage and trying to ride around on streets. It was early September. And Septembers here are pretty much as hot as summer monts. With this said Rev’it Airforce was just the right fit. The very first […]

Monday, October 29th, 2007

Or rather WordPress degrade. Again this is absolutely irrelevant to motorsports. But since I had let everyone know that the upgrade went fine one little thing made a world of difference. Basically it comes down to this - once you are logged out of WordPress you can not log back in. For curious tech […]

Wordpress Upgrade

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

This post is absolutely unrelated to anything automotive in general and motorcycles in particular. Just wanted to gloat on the fact that we had just upgraded to WordPress v 2.3.1 which was officially released just a day ago. I am really amazed at how well WordPress has made its blog software. They pride themselves on […]

Ever since Toyota introduced its new hybrid car the Prius has been a subject of various debates. Its actual fuel economy was largely questioned. There has been rumors about its batteries not being environment friendly. Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear made a really harsh review of it that you can see below.

But the subject […]

Freedom of Movement with Less Freedom of Attire

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

I admit it - I did not come up with this catchy title. I was discussing motorcycle riding with one of my friends the other day (he knows who he is). And I was sort of complaining that riding is great and saves you time especially on congested roads of Los Angeles. However you can’t […]

Rider Down on 405

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007

I see at least a couple motorcycle accidents a week since my commute includes a lot of riding. Sometimes they are just a little mishaps where the riders escape unhurt, sometimes they are more serious and I cross my fingers in hope that the riders pull it through. Sometimes the accidents just leave me gutted […]

How would you like to ride on sunny 85 degree October day? It simply doesn’t get any better, while most of the country is getting ready for winter, we get to enjoy days like this almost all year round.
I woke up in the morning to watch Formula 1 finale and sure enough my DirectTV lost […]
