New Speed Control Method?

Speed controls being used in Eastern Canada.
Don't know 'bout you, but it would slow me down! People slow down to try to straddle the pot-holes.
This is actually a speed control devise in use! It is cheaper than cameras, especially when moved around each day.

Look at the poor dude on a motorcycle.
To me, these look like an accident waiting to happen!
I can just imagine how many rear end collisions they have the potential to cause.

Como se livrar das multas de transitos

policiamultando.jpg

Este ano eu contribui muito mais do que deveria com o Departamento de Trânsito aqui do Distrito Federal. Além do IPVA, Licenciamento e Seguro Obrigatório, fui flagrado transitando em velocidade acima do permitido em 5 ocasiões, pelos radares e barreiras eletrônicas espalhadas pela cidade.

O que me deixa com mais raiva, é que eu passo sempre com uma velocidade muito aproximada à permitida, pois não sou desses malucos que ficam andando a 100km/h por aí, mas sou apenas um pouco apressado. Afinal de contas, não entendo por que vias tão largas e retas podem ter míseros 60km/h de limite. Talvez seja pelo fato de Brasília ser uma cidade com péssimos motoristas que, mesmo nessas condições, conseguem manter um alto índice de violência no trânsito.

Fazendo o balanço do ano, percebi que um ano de multas me levou quase metade dos rendimentos do blog num mês, então era hora de tomar uma atitude.

Depois de uma breve pesquisa, cheguei a conclusão de que, pra se livrar das multas de trânsito, a melhor solução, e também a mais simples, é não ultrapassar o limite de velocidade da via e não avançar sinais vermelhos.

Espero, assim, me livrar das multas de trânsito.

B & A Cylinder Head, an Honest Motorcycle Mechanic

I just want to put a shout out to B&A Cylinder Head for being straight with me.

Earlier on a mechanic I've used in the past (name not mentioned as I do not believe in defaming anyone), I was lead to believe that I needed lifters, or (Tappits). His business was out of commission while moving so I started looking elsewhere for some other opinions on what might be wrong with my bike. After talking to some other mechanics, I had got a few opinions that it might not necessarily be my lifters making the ticking noise I was hearing during idle after the motor warmed up. I guess you could say this was an honest mistake, and or misdiagnosis. The only problem is, that misdiagnosis could have, and would have cost me some serious dough to fix absolutely nothing.

Previously, when I had my motor built up a bit, I had my bike Dyno-tuned, so I brought it to the place that did that. It turns out after a trip to B&A Cylinder Head and a Dyno set up that the ticking sound I am hearing is just my motor doing what all or most Harley motors do eventually when they have some miles on them. There is one of several parts that is worn, or off by less than 1,000th of an inch. Not enough for the naked eye to see. He said he could replace those parts for the tune of about $1900.00, and then you would be sure you got which ever one it was that was making that tick, or knock. He also went on to tell me that the noise I am hearing is nothing to worry about and that if it was his bike he would just ride it as is. If I wanted to spend $1900.00 with him, let's have me save up the money versus charging it on my credit card and putting me into debt for nothing. He said later on I could put that money to better use and put some more horsepower between my knees rather than wasting it on chasing a noise that isn't hurting anything. By the way, the diagnosis fee including setting it up on the Dyno., was way less money than what it should have been based on the time he had into figuring out what was wrong with the bike, or in this case being certain that he could say that there was nothing wrong with the bike. But he gave me a figure, and he stuck to it. Did I mention that he came and picked up and delivered my bike to me with his covered trailer, so I wouldn't have to ride it back and forth to his shop in the winter? What Excellent service!

Honesty and word of mouth advertising is EVERYTHING in this business, so I felt it was only fair to spread the word that I have found someone I am willing to share as a good honest motorcycle mechanic. He could have told me that if I didn't spend that $1900.00, my motor was in jeopardy of blowing up, and I would have handed him my credit card.

Needless to say, I'll be saving that money. He'll be seeing more of me in the future, and hopefully more of my friends who ride too.
