Which we are, so that's fine. It's fine to have your opinion, but to assume it is so universal as to be part of the rules of grammar is a bridge too far.

Try dyna beads or any other brand dynamic balance beads. You pour them into the tire through the valve stem and that's it. When the wheel is turning they naturally move around to the light spot and balance the wheel. I've used them in many bikes and they work great until you get to track day speed (120+ mph).

I've also learned that I can't stand battery operated motion sensors!

Have you found any plug-in motion sensors that you use instead? It looks like they are generally much more expensive than the battery powered ones, which doesn't make any sense to me.

This might lead to more cooperation between some of the defendants and the prosecutors. It seems like Trump-funded lawyers never seem to suggest cooperation to their clients.

I got to ride a few hundred miles on one of these about 10 years ago on some pretty fantastic roads.

It was a great bike, but very weird to see the minivan dashboard on a very competent sport tourer!

Yes, living in the US, it's safe to assume that any tap water is safe to drink without boiling. Sometimes it doesn't taste great because of mineral content, but it's safe with very few exceptions.

That's also been the case in any developed country that I have visited, including Iceland, Canada, pretty much all of Europe, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, etc. There may be exceptions in all of those places, but in any large city in a developed country you can drink the tap water.

 

Good or bad surprises count.

I'll go first: LP Street Food never looked very good to me, I avoided trying it for years. Turns out they actually have a pretty interesting menu, most of it as well executed, and a great patio where you can just hang out with the family and have a beer and some snacks and ice cream for the kids.
