California Highway Patrol Arrests Suspect in Hit & Run That Seriously Injured Derek Teel
I don't see much difference between this and attempted murder.
Same disregard of human life and the same complete lack of morals.
Should be the same sentence as attempted murder.

Slack Randoms: Ways to Improve Enduro Racing, Radek in a KTM Ad, Crushing Propane Cylinders & More
@tigerfish50: Does anyone follow enduro after UCI took over?
I certainly don't, and I don't know anyone else that do either.
I was hooked on EWS, loved the highlights and features, followed it almost religiously, and I know many others who did.
Now, not so much.

Intend Release Limited Edition 'Moto' Fork & Shock Set
@Struggleteam: I have one of those cheap gun cases, not comparable to a Peli case.
Can't really justify getting a Peli at this point, but someday...

@endoplasmicreticulum: A peli gun case is not too far from 1k euros.
Peli cases are EXPENSIVE!

First Look: Last Bikes Glen and Coal - One Platform, Two Bikes
Quite different systems.
The only similarity is the looks around the seat tube.
One is a single pivot with a transfer bar to a rocker, the other is a horst link with more steps.
And why would they even bother to sue someone not selling to burgerland?

First Look: Last Bikes Glen and Coal - One Platform, Two Bikes
@knightmarerider: I'm in the same boat, and still rocking my first gen Last Coal.
Love the short seat tube.
Their obsessive focus on frame alignment means my frame bearings, from 2017, are still in good condition, I've only had to regrease them a few times.
When I retire that frame, I'm probably getting a Glen, I have fallen completely in love with Last.
It's really impressive how much abuse it have withstood, at such a low frame weight, many heavier carbon frames would have given out at this point.

Slack Randoms: Comparing MTB Prices to Motorcycles, Performance Pee Bottles & More
@voleman: A better comparison would an EXC two stroke, which is similar in price, but have more advanced everything and can do far more extreme stuff.
Pretending mountain bikes aren't overpriced is just denial of reality.
Just the engine and gearbox alone is more advanced and requires more machining and precision than everything combined on a mountain bike.
On top of that, barely any mtb manufacturers manage to even have crank bearings line up.
What justifies the price of modern mountain bikes?

Slack Randoms: Comparing MTB Prices to Motorcycles, Performance Pee Bottles & More
@st-lupo: Yup, the amount of machine time invested into even a budget motorcycle is at least 10 times that of the most high end Yeti.
Wonder what margin Sram and Shimano are running on their groupsets? 1000%? More?
Mountain bikes are insanely overpriced, and small manufacturers going under doesn't disprove that, just shows they are getting boned almost as bad as the end user.
