- Keystone Curves: Pennsylvania Wilds Motorcycle Ride
At Hyner View State Park, you can admire the view of the West Branch Susquehanna River. (Photos by the author) When my two riding partners, Yamaha Joe and Pathfinder Rich, said we should hit the road for a few days, I suggested north-central Pennsylvania because the area offers wonderful riding and scenery well away from the hustle and bustle of big cities. Our motorcycle adventure took us to Wellsboro in the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds region, which encompasses over 2 million acres of state forestland and mountains, 29 state parks, and two federal parks along with historic towns, verdant farmland, and bucolic rivers and lakes.

(Photos by Killboy) For more than a year now, I’ve worn an airbag vest under my jacket every time I ride. Although I hope to never need it, the peace-of-mind that it provides is incredibly valuable. The downside is that most of my riding jackets are now too snug with the airbag vest worn underneath (there needs to be enough space to allow the airbag to inflate between the jacket and the rider’s torso). I needed a new everyday motorcycle jacket that would easily accommodate an airbag vest, and the Speed and Strength Daydream Textile Jacket caught my eye. Like all of Speed and Strength’s motorcycle apparel, the Daydream jacket has urban, modern styling. The leather on the shoulders and collar and the removable hooded sleeveless liner give it a distinct personality, and for extra pizzaz, I went with the Smoked Purple color option (other colors are Olive or… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.6 days ago - The Damage to Economic Data May Already Be Done
If you have been closely following the ongoing Bureau of Labor Statistics story—in which Donald Trump fired then-Commissioner Erika McEntarfer after being displeased by the bureau’s July jobs report and selected the Heritage Foundation economist E. J. Antoni to succeed her—you will have heard an unusual consensus about the airtight political independence of the agency and the people who work there. Among BLS employees, including former Commissioner William Beach, whom Trump appointed in his first term, a fierce loyalty to the data is bone deep.Antoni does not appear to share that spirit of independence, nor does he seem to have a great deal of talent for economics or statistics, according to economists from across the political spectrum. Even so, his power to avoid future reports that embarrass Trump appears to be limited. In an interview recorded on August 4, before his nomination, Antoni proposed eliminating the monthly release of employment… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.6 days ago - How AI doctors are flooding the internet with false health advice
