    Bobbies on bikes: Patrols get out of their cars and onto three wheels with UK-adapted hybrids

    Bobbies on what now? How many wheels has it got? There are no editors anymore, are there?

    Good God that's a beautiful bike!

    A couple years ago, I was doing car photos at a meetup at a botanical garden. When it got slow, I pulled the Rocket over and shot some pics: Rocket at Powell Gardens

    Have you ever felt the need for steering dampers on the Rocket 3?

    I've got a first gen RIII and I've never felt the need for steering dampers. A few times, I've looked back and wished it had some sort of common sense booster...

    The jewel in the crown: Radical BMW R18 custom unveiled in Berlin

    Why do none of these concept bikes look like they'd be even remotely pleasant to ride?

    Defiant against thieves: New Squire lock ramps up protection against angle grinders

    Hope the Lockpicking Lawyer gets ahold of one. Any and all of these theft prevention devices can also be bypassed with 2-4+ big guys and a box truck or van. Take it someplace private and pick it, drill it, torch it... heck, wait for it to rust off.

    The fix for loose mirror stems

    Also a big fan of purple loctite. Even blue can be a stone cold biznatch to break free - especially with fiddly little screw heads or allen bolts. I joke that every bolt I touch either gets purple loctite or anti-seize, depending on where it goes. Also, mixing red and blue loctite does not...

    Close Calls - Stupid on 4 Wheels

    In Missouri, there's a myth that you can ride a <50cc scooter without a license, making scooter shops the first stop for those with fresh DUIs. It's completely false. The only thing you can ride under an administrative suspension is a passenger seat or a bicycle. And if you're a repeat offender...

    Four way flasher options

    Does anyone know of any options for adding 4-way flasher functionality to an 05 RIII? I've seen the ST-2 self cancelling system, but their marketing is quite spammy, which always makes me suspect the quality of the product.
