I've been travelling in Europe for most of the last year and during that time have dealt with all-time record setting high temperatures in several countries, and as I write this I am sitting through the tail end of 50 year storms in Spain and will …

They also have a food pyramid and example of how much water you should drink daily on them.

I can't at the moment as I'm actually in Spain right now, so here's one of a packet of spanish Potato Chips or what ever you call them.

I bought a V-Strom 650 a few years ago that came with a tank bag that mounted to a ring bolted onto the gas cap frame. I didn't have the bike long as it didn't fit me so I didn't exercise it in any rough conditions and can't remember the brand but …

My thoughts aren't so eloquent as those above but here goes. I think Cake almost needs to invent a new label for what it is. The term 'Social Network', while globally understood in general terms, doesn't fit what Cake is. Specifically the Social …

The best anyone can do is speak up if they hear hate speech, denounce it, make it known that it is not acceptable in any society. In our relatively tiny population of only 4.5 million this event is huge and will change our societal landscape in …

Most of my adventures are on 2 wheels. In New Zealand we don't get huge amounts of your jumbo US wagons. Our vehicle market is predominantly Japanese due to them driving on the same side of the road as us. Most of those that own US trucks here do …
