That is so true in Houston. If you are a car length behind, someone will cut in front of you, over and over. In Houston, you have to stay about half a car length behind.
This is just a quick ride report and daily rant. I have Day 1 of the LOB trip just about cooked and ready to publish on my primary channel... hopefully in the next couple of days. 😉👍 --QM
i'm just waiting for the damn water to get off the road once and for all. i am so tired of flooding in 3 times in one month. at least this time it wasn't as deep. i thought about doing the tiddler run this friday but 3 floods have wiped me out money wise
I hope Honda brings over the auto clutch. That would help you because you do not need to hold the clutch. It does it automatically. It's not a DCT. It's a 6-speed manual, but the computer activates the clutch.
@@QuasiRAW Many years ago, I rode a 50cc scooter 320 miles over 13 hours to Joplin MO. I was 20 years old, single, and no worries. Didn't even have gear. No helmet or anything. I believe I was in shorts and t-shirt too lol. But now, almost 40, married and have a 5 year old, can't help but worry about the what ifs lol. I have a 168cc scooter now that gets about 55-60mph.
Agreed 💯! I'm building a new NAS solution with 60-70TB of local storage and offsite backup/sync capabilities. Finding enough "disposable" $$$ for the drives is the kicker... and X2 for the remote side. My long road trips usually generate 4-10 TB of raw footage, which requires a TON of online (hot) discs. My current storage solution has ~30TB capacity, so I usually offload footage older than 18 months and store that on cold platters (8-16TB enterprise SATA HDD's in USB 3.2 enclosures). The fun part comes when I need to retrieve cold storage... locating the drive, connecting and mounting the storage, fixing broken paths, etc. The new system will be a distributed NAS with "leaf nodes" (low-power mini PC's) that host the USB archive drives in "warm" mode (spun down, waiting for wake-up). That will allow me to keep archive footage and duplicate backup copies ready to spin up as needed. With proper planning, it will also simplify my file structure, so I'm not constantly relinking project files and paths. 😉👍 --QM
That's the Pro Honda Spray Wax & Cleaner: amzn.to/4dOstD6 . I usually buy this stuff in a case of 12 cans. It's great for giving "dry" baths to the bikes, cleaning windscreens, etc. 😉👍 --QM
I had to check twice.... I was like " did he just spray chain lube on the windshield"??? 😂
🤣👍

I remember my first shaft drive, the VT500, I never missed the chain.
Been waiting for this!

are you going to take your trail on he small bore run again.
I haven't decided which bike to ride up to the Barber event. I'll probably be riding the CB500X this weekend to Jasper.

I gotta watch more of your long solo trips so I can work up the courage for my solo trip from Missouri to Ohio. I still can’t find a riding buddy 😆
You can do it! I'll have the videos of that latest Life Of Burch trip edited and uploaded soon. 😉👍 --QM
