Probably wise to cross check your Sat Nav with the view out of the window.

Careful when riding in the rain, especially if you don't like getting wet:

Seems like he's lucky to me. Still, he would have been luckier if he had been in the right lane.

That's one way to wash your bike.
He did the right thing though. Keep going!

The bigger you get, the bigger the problems you have to deal with.
Like three girlfriends. That last line is absolutely priceless!

Ridge Running Mt Palomar.
I've never been a fan of gliding, much preferring to have an engine in front of me. However, when the 'ordure interfaces with the air conditioning', having gliding experience can pay dividends. Capt Sullenberger of Hudson River fame is living proof of that.

I love that video. It's amazing how the glider keeps its speed up, and at the very end appears to gain elevation in a thermal.

Great, perfect music for it too. Because gliders use the thermals, rising heated air columns most often found near hills and cliffs(and skyscrapers), similar to a surfer using waves. I wonder if there are rules about how low or close to people/structures you can legally fly?

That was engrained upon my memory for years but I accept that I might not have managed to quote it verbatim. I did me best, sir! BTW, also applies to gliders, balloons and airships and I suspect that the position is similar in the US. Will stand corrected if necessary.
