Well, yeah, every noob biker around knows that's a fact. Just like rain - it can't be done. A motorcycle cannot travel through rain.
Goes without saying but it is so true it does warrant saying. DO NOT ride in the rain, it's like riding on ice, the water gets into the electrical system and you will know this when you pull into the garage and see the white smoke coming off the bike. That's the electrical system being damaged by the water.

Yessir, letting the smoke out of the wires, just like when the hot and ground wires get crossed. Electricity is conveyed by smoke in the wires, and when the smoke gets out you gotta replace the wires.
Too many times someone has posted on this site about seeing white smoke after riding in the rain. Hmm, I don't know, steam from cold water hitting a hot exhaust maybe?

Re: Bestest movie of all time
Really? The feedback I was told is that it is male chauvenist driven. How would it be taken if it was a woman portraying that character? Not going to even try and answer that.

Heineken, really?
Finally figured this out. Yeah, IDK bout that Heineken stuff...it's all commercialized. But back in the day, Bond was cool man...gadgets and flirting with Miss Penny.

Happy Hour: Bond can’t be monogamous, even to booze
Adam McDowell | Nov 4, 2012 11:00 AM ET
A little kerfuffle ensued earlier this year over the news that James Bond was going to drink a Heineken in Skyfall, the 23rd official Bond flick, which opens on Friday.
Actually, someone who has already seen the film tells me that Bond has a beer, his usual martini, nearly a Macallan Scotch and some sort of drink involving a scorpion. But that’s just Bond being Bond. What’s his poison? Whatever is not actual poison. Contrary to The Daily Mail’s huffy assertion in a Web headline that “James Bond has always drunk vodka martinis ‘shaken, not stirred,’ ” the character has found his quantum of solace in an impressive variety of drinks across the canon. He’s not the sort of fellow to settle down, now, is he?
While I’ve never read any of Ian Fleming’s original books, the boozy blog drink007.com informs us that Bond has locale-appropriate stingers in Diamonds Are Forever, bourbon old fashioneds in Live and Let Die and a mint julep in Goldfinger. Bond jumped right into (and indeed probably helped start) the mojito craze of the early 2000s in the film Die Another Day (2002). And for those who would still resist the idea of a beer-swilling Bond, he has downed several over the years; I understand that the lager in the novel version of Goldfinger is specifically identified as a Heineken.
Then there’s the drink we most associate with Bond. The writer of drink007.com, who goes by the moniker Legendre Thirst, wisely writes: “Making a martini is infinitely easier than learning to appreciate one.”
Appreciating a martini is easier if we ditch 007’s guidance. James Bond drinks awful martinis. He opts for vodka over gin in some of the films, and shakes rather than stirs. To be clear, a good martini is made with gin, never vodka; and stirred, not shaken. Happily, Bond invents cocktails of his own in at least two of the books, both of which are tastier than a ruined martini.

Re: Bestest movie of all time
You know, I love how the English papers explain things. Or should I say, the English in general. Being that I have relatives in east Anglia, the way things are perceived and explained is exceptional. Anyhow, all this is Fictional but great to discuss...because we all have an opinion.
While definitely not the "best" movie of all time, this movie has spoken to me in a way I can not fully understand.
Being my wife is from Brazil, this man peaked my interest though I really never knew anything of him.
Unlike many racers of his time, his following was beyond huge it was Ginormous!
The country mourned the loss of their hero and this is his story...

Re: Bestest movie of all time
^^Interesting history. I started watching it (I'll finish it later) but I couldn't help but view the piece from "Top Gear". Here are some things I took away from TG:
Wild ferocious monster: McLaren MP4/4, manual gearbox and 1200 hp; 450 more than race cars of today.
Donnington 1993, on a wet track, in an inferior McLaren from 5th to 1st. 40 seconds of, "What is Ayrton Senna the race car driver all about".
Devout Christian.
Paradox...clearly a fantastic human being.
He seemed like a very head-strong person when it came to being the best. That's a quality needed to be the best...but it was his weakest quality because he took too many chances.
We take chances every day driving and riding on the streets. Those mid 80s race car drivers we're very "crazy" in their pursuit of perfection.
Like I said, I'll sit down to watch this movie soon.
