Well, I'm no longer a motorcycle salesman. Not long after my last post, I was let go, without much of an explanaition. For part of the winter I drove test vehicles, gatheing cold-weather driving data for pre-release vehicles. I wouldn't call them prototypes ( Read more... )

Of course, I'll be on a budget so I won't be able to do everything I'd like, but if I can swing the cost I'd like to rent a motorcycle and ride ( Read more... )

Apparently, there are some rotating questions, I took it again, and actually got a result (fewer region-specific animals-that-don't-exist-here questions).

The map shows results via color spectrum. Deep blue indicates least alike, dark red means most alike, and white is in the middle. It then indicates cities which are most likely to share your ( Read more... )
