Title: 3 interesting blogs by Bike Bandit
Post by: Richard230 on February 19, 2016, 10:04:15 PM

Bike Bandit has published three blogs that may (or may not) be of interest to you. I list them here so that you can pick and choose your subject of interest:

This one is about Yamaha's robot motorcycle-riding Motobot and why they built it:
http://www.bikebandit.com/blog/post/...things-to-come (http://www.bikebandit.com/blog/post/...things-to-come)

This details various types of internet scams (some are quite creative):
http://www.bikebandit.com/blog/post/...aigslist-scams (http://www.bikebandit.com/blog/post/...aigslist-scams)

And this article describes how to wash and clean your leather and textile motorcycle clothing:

The URLs you've posted have ellipses in them, so they're broken.

Speaking of Craigslist, one of the hazards with it is letting people come to your house to see the item.

I know it's probably common sense, but letting a totally unknown person into your house to look at your valuables is never a good idea. Not only is there the chance they'll come back later for the rest of your stuff, but they can also pull a gun and rob you right then and there.

Meet somewhere public with the item. My local police department has no problems being such a location.

Thanks CrashCash, I have no idea what an "ellipse" is but I thank you for correcting my links. The links that I get in my email messages from Bike Bandit have the "?" symbol in them and I have been told that is some sort of tracking device, so I cut out all of the link address from that point on.  Maybe I over-did it this time.   ???
