HS what a loss... HS

Throttle by wire sucks. Lived that dream... Some of these bikes look amazing from a tech standpoint. I'm struggling a bit with all the sharp angles incorporated...I'm digging the retro bikes posted earlier. Old fart alert... HS

I'd argue Honda motors are as good as they get. Bullet proof stuff. HS

Screw the Toyota X2!!!! As long as you're having a good time and you're in one piece (preferably the vehicle also but that's optional), then it's nothing but goodness. Drive her like you stole her!!! HS

RIP Charles and Jim... HS

I am officially glad I didn't volunteer my sophomoric "grinding" utensil in the company of these sexy products... HS

I'm embarrassed to admit what I use for a grinder for my French press, but you are smart to grind your own beans, Hop. Beautiful brewer! I'm smitten with beans I've been buying from Double Shot in all of places...Tulsa, OK. The owner is quirky, but knows how to select and roast beans. I receive them a couple of days after roasting. Love me some good coffee. I've also gone down the rabbit hole with cold brew coffee out of Austin that I purchase in a case of tins from Costco. Take a case to work and I enjoy the lower acidity and caffeine kick (supposedly the cold brew process kills less of the vroom vroom). HS

So many... RIP David and Della....Pal and Mel. And Arne. Hopefully you all are in a better place... HS

HS Very nice selection, Hop... Might have to go dust off the vinyl. Believe I've got it on Substance. Been too long. HS

Oh no! I remember listening to AC/DC repeatedly as a young teen walking and riding my BMX bike around a suburb of Chicago. Couldn't get enough of them. Changed the way I looked at music and the style I focused on for a long while. Their tunes suited where I was in life along with a few other hard hitting bands back in the very early '80's. Godspeed, Malcolm... You left a mark on many of us. HS

I dig that ^ Fratellis song. Have it on a favorite in some playlist...DEEZER I think. Anyhoo....for whatever reason it flashed me back to some vinyl I have from back in college HS

Godspeed, Chuck... HS

RIP, Roy... Well stated, WM. Go out doing what you love. HS

is it me or did the short bus show up this weekend? HS

ouch... HS

RIP Fats and Robert. HS

One issue I hope they addressed was how much sound bled from the stats I tested with my Ygg / Carbon combo. I didn't realize them until I handed them to the gent next to me how loud I must have been blasting the folks next to me. It was literally like having a transistor radio playing. Some bleed on open backed headphones is perfectly natural and acceptable, but this was bordering on ridiculous. I can't speak to the man. Sounds like a great guy. I was simply focusing on the product. I will admit I struggle with all the fan boy crap on HF. Way too much support without sound critical thought IMO, but hey...maybe I'm just an old, crusty hard ass... HS

Oh boy.... https://www.cnet.com/pictures/high-end-audio-show-dazzles-the-eye-and-ear/18/?ftag=CAD767ae48&bhid=25929228263003360050844531033783 Sincerely hope they are WAY better than the protos I heard a good while back at a local meet. Had to drive the heck out of them with my Carbon to get them to generate sound and then the sound bleeding into the room was A LOT. HS

RIP Mr. Dunsworth. You, sir, had personality. HS

This should be entertaining... HS

So much loss between Petty, Hugh, the senseless violence in Las Vegas. I have hardly had the heart to come out here, but one can't bury their head in the sand for long. Godspeed good people... HS

Nice turnout and great shots. Thanks for sharing! HS

A friend sent me the link and I couldn't make it past the first time it happened in the video. They had some interior and side angles...I couldn't keep looking into the sun. Hate looking into wrecks and such...they are seared into my psyche. HS

There was an Evo that went over that corner where the Hoonicorn (makes me chuckle...funny name) kicked up the dirt. Somehow the two in the Evo managed to walk away. I've got the link but I'm not a big fan of posting carnage. Personally, I love that the Mustang is twin turbo, AWD and they use those bad ass transmissions. I'm not all about that tire smoke unless it's functional, but I can't argue the son of a gun can drive...and has a brass set on him. HS
