Reserve Tip of the Day

By -
Ever been out riding your new-to-you dirtbike and suddenly realized you're out of fuel and at least 5-10 minutes from home? Well, neither have we, until today that is. After coming this close to panicking, I remembered the reserve fuel position on the selector dial. That's right faithful readers, motorcycles (at least the Honda XR 100 variety) have a little thing known as a reserve fuel tank (aka, the-I-need-to-get-home-and-was-dumb-enough-not-to-bring-extra-fuel-with-me tank). So don't forget it and rest assured. Happy riding.

Yes. This very feature is the one thing that enabled me to get air on a sweet jump.

After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.

We've all been there. We're looking at a site and keep refreshing to see if what we're looking for has been updated. But, often times our browsers will cache items on the page (especially images and Flash™ documents.) This enables faster page loads, and less data transfer, which is actually nice. However, if you're a web developer, or someone who checks the tips site a lot for comments, you want to know that the information you're viewing is perfectly accurate. And, you don't want to empty your cache every time you look at a site. So, here's what you do. To get a page to refresh, and not draw from a cache, simply put a good old-fashioned question mark (?) at the end of your URL, and hit "Enter."
