Tech Discussion / Windshields and lowers
« on: April 06, 2010, 08:58:40 AM »
I'm in the process of buying the bike of my dreams, a 1998 Valkyrie tourer.
She comes without a windscreen, and I know from experience with my current ride that I really want one, and probably either lowers or a set of baker air wings.
But which? Feedback appreciated.

« on: November 16, 2008, 06:58:36 AM »Baxter Springs, Kansas; The 'Cafe on the Route and Little Brick Inn' was once a bank that was robbed by Jesse James. It is now a restaurant and Bed and Breakfast. I hear that their lunches are "fit for an Outlaw"...
This place was on Food Network 'Diners Drive-Ins and Dives' Route 66 episode.

As a style to start out similar to, you could do lots worse.
You've grabbed on to a lot of the traits of Daniel's writing that make it so great to read. Very evocative, its so easy to envision the scene and step into it. To see, and hear, and smell it, and go along for the ride.
Very well done.

Samba is indeed the program that lets linux browse and provide windows file sharing services.
It ought to pretty much work out of the box with an 2000/XP/Vista LAN, and if your windows login name and password matches your Linux login name and password, you should be able to access your home directory on the linux box from windows.
I've never set up a printer under linux, but if the printer works then you should be able to configure samba to share it and have it working without undue cursing (cursing is a required part of editing unix config files, it doesn't work right until you swear at it.)

I've seen that story around in several different versions, generally edited to substitute another type of bike, usually the author attribution is also removed if that happens. I always try to post a comment with at least a link to the original on your website.

Alton Brown's regular Food Network show, Good Eats is easily one of my favorite television programs. I've been collecting them on my DVR. He has said in interviews and his books that his reason for doing the show is to bring both science and entertainment into the television kitchen set. Hes not just performing the recipes for the camera, he is also talking (and often illustrating with sometimes hilarious giant props) about the history of the food, or dish, or technique, as well as the science behind how and why the recipe or method calls for what it does, and what is happening at the molecular level in the food. You can also guarantee a quirky joke and/or pop culture reference in every episode (often in the title at least).
Hes also an avid motorcyclist, so last year, when they aired the first 'Feasting on Asphalt ' series (4 parts) of a cross-country trip from South Carolina to LA, back roads, diners, and truck stops only.. needless to say I was interested, and after seeing it, not at all disappointed.
This year, they filmed a 6 part trip up the Mississippi from the gulf to its headwaters in Minnesota, and it is airing now.
Highly Recommended
