Along that line, something cool thing I know Honda is working on, is solar heating for homes.

From what I hear, about the same time I am ready to buy a house, Honda will be ready to sell these to the public.

Yes! Whether they allow it or not, I've done it and will continue to do so. There was an intersection near my apartment where the bike never triggered the light. After 7:00 pm, it saw little traffic. You either sat there for 10 minutes waiting for a car to trigger the light, or took a right on red and turned around to head back where you were going. The light leaving work doesn't see the motorcycle, but it isn't an issue, as there is always a car pulling up behind you.

It would be nice if the law could keep up with the reality of it all
As Mark said, I do it, and I will continue to do it
Rte 251 and West Henrietta Rd, on 251 headed East or West, that damn light hardly sees the cars let alone the bike
And I will confess, when I run a red light I always do this, turn right on red after stop
Go tiny ways down road after making the right hand turn, then do a u-turn and then make the right for a straight through or keep going for a left

My weather app tells me it's a day to take the S
Good morning Upstate
