Looks like I'm not spending my tax return on you after all. Investigating a slow leak in my diminished tires led me to serendipitously discover one of my cv boots had finally split. I guess it had to happen, and I might as well take care of a few other things while I'm down there.

I can finally get some awesome tires to match the suspension. New wheel bearings might be a worthwhile investment. Re-re-re-replace the rotors and never utter the name Raybestos again. Maybe some steel brake lines. Suspension techniques sway bars? Chrome-plated exhaust manifold heat shield? We shall see, there's a spreadsheet in the works - so you know I mean business.

Testing the 2013 Ducati Multistrada (and how it compares to the 2010-12 Multistrada) | I'd rather be riding...

 The weekend before last I had the privilege of riding, back to back, two great motorcycles: the 2010 Multistrada and the brand new 2013 Multistrada. After a short three years in production we have here a rather long list of changes in the 2013 model. The motor and the suspension are where the key changes...

Which budget long-tail cargo e-bike to buy? | Random thoughts, conocimiento no conocido, yachay mana yachasqachu

 As noted in my last article, electrification has helped make it much easier to ride cargo bikes, so they become car replacement vehicles for ordinary people who don't have the leg power to push a heavy bike. However, just as important as adding an electric motor has been the advent of long-tailed cargo bikes, which...

Climate attribution method overstates "fingerprints" of external forcing | Climate Etc.

 by Ross McKitrick I have a new paper in the peer-reviewed journal Environmetrics discussing biases in the "optimal fingerprinting" method which climate scientists use to attribute climatic changes to greenhouse gas emissions.
