Flying Brick

I've recovered a few seats myself, it's not too hard. Waterproof vinyl is pretty cheap at craft stores.

I always have the passenger (or myself even) put one hand against the riders back when stopping. This prevents helmets hitting together. Give yourself a lot more stopping distance too.

I work for the Chiller Ice Rinks, which other than OSU and Newark are the only ice rinks in the Columbus area. We usually hire in the fall right before high school hockey starts up, but I know all the rinks are going to need more drivers. They may hire drivers earlier for training.

The ice rinks I work for could always use more help in the fall and winter. If you can drive a bus, I'm sure you can drive an ice resurfacer.

I have the same side cases on my Piaggio. Very happy with them, I also made my own brackets.

I've used my wife's bike to tow a bunch of things, like this scooter.

My winter tires on the scooter were like this. Helped with stability, but I had to be careful when turning. It was easy to reach the limit.

23,500 and counting.

I think we'll find life on another planet/moon at some point in my lifetime. But I doubt it'll be capable of flying to Earth.

Been riding all winter.

I can't use any less than a Shoei after getting my X-12. My Scorpion helmet was decent, but during 500+ mile rides I would start to feel pressure points. I'd say stick with Shoei or Arai. You get what you pay for.

I rode to work today, the streets I were on were mostly clear. A bit cold at 7am, but it could have been worse.

+1 for Gimp.

I rode to work yesterday. I have dual sport tires on my scooter with a few hundred ice studs. No traction issues at all.

Adult hockey leagues are about $200 for an 12 week session. Hockey isn't too expensive once you have all the equipment. I bought most of my stuff used, I probablly spent less than $200 for everything.
