Bosch has released some videos off their new Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC) that's supposed to allow braking while leaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTTGSnlykJ8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-7je0V7lrI

Having never tried that kind of braking at a serious lean angle, I'm surprised to learn that normal ABSes don't work that well. But yay for Bosch either way. Hope that goes on all BMWs soon now that they're an all-ABS brand now.

Yeah, bike ABS is really just about not locking the wheels while braking hard, you still have to brake in a straight line, more or less. That new Bosch stuff is seriously impressive.

I was thinking about adding a granite gray S1000RR to my garage to scratch my sport bike itch, but I think maybe I'll wait a couple years to see if BMW can find a way to cram that gizmo in there too. That would be such an awesome machine.

Took the Tdub out to the woods for a nap today. I managed to yard sale in some soft sand, which I have found the Bridgestone TW203/204's don't like at all. TW200, full nap kit (sleeping bag strapped to back, Hennessey Hammock in tank bag)  This looks like a good spot.

Shelvocke posted:Do you have a house full of children/wife? I love the idea of going out on a trip for a nap. Nah, but I like the peace and quiet over the urban sounds at my house. Sometimes I'll head out there, set up the hammock in a tucked-away spot and then ride around until I feel like taking a rest. Great way to spend 4-5 hours on a Saturday.

I used to load basic camping gear on the bike Thursday night and leave work early on Fridays then just pick a direction and ride. Find something neat or get tired stop for the night. Saturday either go a bit farther or turn around. Never a destination in mind just a general direction and a goal to avoid interstates. Need to dig around and see if I can find some photos...until then here's a random hammock and a motorcycle.

Slavvy posted:No he's paraphrasing the description. It literally says "AND SHOT THE THIEF MORE UNFORTUNATELY ...HE DID NOT DIE ..." Yeah, mostly a bad attempt at humor while letting people know they didn't see anyone die. People are more important than things, but I don't feel all that bad when people die while waving guns around in people's faces. If he was unarmed, it would be different. Getting arrested is justice enough, though.

Kenny Rogers posted:My second thought? A lot. A whole lot. Find a shmuck who's had to walk around THE SANDBOX in IBA with plates what bullet resistance entails. That being said, it depends on the bullet, cartridge and gun. There are cases of <.25 caliber bullets being stopped by heavy winter coats (don't depend on this.) Hollowpoints do worse penetrating heavy clothing than FMJ, but anything of reasonable size is still more than enough to kill you. Practically any rifle cartridge that's not .22LR is going to go through pistol-resistant armor like nothing. So basically don't get shot, it's never pleasant. Even guys wearing no-poo poo bulletproof vest etc, the force can be incapacitating, break ribs etc.

Snowdens Secret posted:A lot. A whole lot. Find a shmuck who's had to walk around THE SANDBOX in IBA with plates what bullet resistance entails. Good times.  My recollection is that, at the time, they were three layers of woven kevlar - about 1/4" when stitched inside the nylon cover. Seeing more modern stuff on TV, I can only figure that we've either learned a lot more about bullet resistance and can do awesome things with "lightweight" ceramics, or we've decided that troops are actually a whole lot less expendable than they were considered to be in the 1965-1990 era, or both. Still, I'm never going to ask the rhetorical question, "Where's a cop when you need one." That quota has clearly been filled for the year.
