Life isn’t fair most of the time. Back in 2011, my brother got t-boned by a car that ran a stop sign onto a country road. It wasn’t exactly a hit and run…but the driver did leave after 2 minutes of them exchanging verbal blows. And exchanging their number plate details. My brother was lucky to be in full-body gear (reminder), but his motorcycle wasn’t. The frame on the right side was damaged and his front forks and radiator were bent hard. He took the guy to court, but his lawyer didn’t have a lot to work with. There were…

Do I really need GPS? I don’t have amnesia, but my memory isn’t exactly photographic. Which is a problem. You can’t afford to go by your non-photographic memory. Especially when you’re riding at 7 PM in Los Angeles (so help me God) and part of your commute involves the 405. Bad memories man. “Did I miss the right turn? Or turn right at the wrong turn? Do I turn right at this turn?”And if I catch a signboard or a landmark at the last minute, I can’t switch lanes. And the farther away you get from the city, the worse…
