Supercharger and few other mods ,put me just over 1000 HP , and boy can you notice. 

Yes in your gas bill. 

My SRT8 gets 7 mpg with 700 HP, so Im guessing ur at 5 mpg. Hope thats a drag car only. Don't let your insurance find out either. They won't insure it after a certain HP rating. Thats why mine if a fun toy to play with only LOL.

Not sure how it is in the US, but in Canada I can say with certainty the majority of motorcycle riders are the worst and most dangerous drivers on the road.  The speed limit is seldom followed, they weave through traffic like they’re playing frogger, I’ve seen more than one stunting on the freeway, and they tailgate closer than most cars.  Whatever the testing criteria is here for obtaining a motorcycle operators licence, it’s nowhere near stringent enough.

They’re required to wear helmets up here and most cover their faces, so it’s only a guess on my part but my perception is that the older guys are much more responsible than the younger riders.  Still, when I see a motorcycle in traffic I get over to the right, slow down and let them pass — because I want nothing to do with a vehicle I can’t even guess where and how fast they’re going to travel.  I treat them almost like an emergency vehicle approaching.

Same in the US.  Of course, I liked going fast on a bike just as much as I still do in a car.  Speed limits are just suggestions and if you ever read the MUTCD or spent much time with a traffic engineer, you would know they are likely the ones driving 55 in a 65 zone.

Great stuff.

It still blows my mind that a 23-year-old mailman could write Angel from Montgomery. I never saw John Prine perform it but I've seen Bonnie Raitt sing it half a dozen times.

And yes they could. There's a video of Stevie Ray playing and talking with Albert King. what's fascinating about it to me is that I don't think Albert knew who Stevie Ray was and he shows up with the hat and the long white scarf and Albert was just looking at him. After a few songs, however, he was looking at him with respect.

An aside but it's a fun item. My absolute favorite blues man has been Buddy Guy for half a century now. I got to know him a little bit in the early 70s because a girl I knew was dating him. There was a blues festival at the Café a Go Go in New York and we were sitting with Buddy when Alvin Lee (of 10 Years After) came out and did a set full of his signature fast runs (and he was fast). Buddy got this look on his face, sneer is too mild a word, and he leaned over to me and said, "I'm going to show this white boy what fast is." When got up on the stage, Alvin Lee had come out to sit in the audience and Buddy walked over and stood in front of him, slammed his Stratocaster down with his left hand, pointed at Alvin Lee with his right, and started playing incredible runs just with the left hand. Eventually he picked up the guitar and played with both hands. He did a whole Hendrix riff, with the teeth, whipping the guitar with the cord, going behind his head, everything but lighting it on fire. The place went nuts. When Alvin Lee went up for his second set he played nothing but slow blues. Eric Clapton and Peter Green were there that night too, screaming along with the rest of us.

Damn, respect, JR, respect.  My absolute favorite was BB. Man could make a rest sound good. Anybody that ever saw BB play live, knows what I mean. Lightnin was fun because he would sit and talk with us.  For all you rockers that grew up on covered Robert Johnson tunes, give Mississippi John Hurt a listen. One of the best guitar players I ever saw was Roy Buchanan.  
 

Nowadays, most of my live music is at wineries and small town carnivals   Always preferred intimate settings.

 Is this it? if so, it seems like Albert did know Stevie, but the mutual admiration is so clear. Whatever the case, thank you! I absolutely needed this during my 30 minute respite on a Monday of meetings. back to it now 😞

Thank you!!  Love the walking bass underneath that.  Watch how Albert plucks the strings. No pick. Want to see something similar to how a bluesman works the strings, check out Doc and Merle Watson.

I think of it like insurance. You have a date when you have to enroll, but you have the ability to change later based on a life-changing event.

Most NO jazz is Dixieland.  Louie Armstrong, Al Hirt, Pete Fountain, Preservation Hall Jazz Band 

There are all sorts of jazz.  This is a music best heard live.  I don’t care for the super techno jazz not soft jazz of Kenny G. Try all different periods.   Earlier stuff like Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakley, Thelonius Monk, Charley Parker and Miles Davis.  Scope out some Quincy Davis. Wanton Marsalis.  Try some Chick Correa.  Love bass, so I recommend Stanley Clarke and Jaco Pastorius from Weather Report.  Grab the video from their live playing of Birdland on YouTube.  Try some Al Jarrett. For a different ride, try out Jean Luc Ponty and Stephane Grapelli. Only the French would think of a violin as a jazz instrument. I suggest their joint work on Valerie.  Thing with jazz is you’ll know what you like when you hear it  

Closest thing to jazz in rock was the Grateful Dead.  Zappa wanted to be but really was a bit too rigid for it.

I've had 2 Ninjas (aka crotch rockets) and when in traffic I'd ride like I was invisible because to most drivers I most likely was.  I was careful.  However, on certain stretches of roads that I was very familiar with that were basically long straight lines with no side streets or driveways where I had total visibility and when I was the only one on the road I would throttle that bish up, tuck my knees into the sides and lay my chest across the gas tank and do about 120.  And I liked just going out for drives on back roads with curves and little traffic so I could lean into curves and see how close I could get my knee to the road.  But I always made sure I was aware of my surroundings.  I know someone who thought he was cool and decided to drive down the shoulder when everyone else was stopped at a light and one of the cars decided to pull out to make a right and he ended up paralyzed from the neck down.  And I've seen idiots on highways at high speed doing wheelies in traffic and one time on the Schuylkill some moron blasting through traffic (in between the lanes of cars/trucks) at high speed with a passenger on the back.  The more times you roll the dice the better the chance you'll eventually end up with snake eyes.

I'm a Bebop Jazz fan myself.  Miles, Bird, Monk, Adderley.  Give me horns, bass and drums with an uptempo.  I also like some Jazz fusion stuff.  Been to Chris' Jazz Cafe in Philly a few times and heard some good bands there.  WRTI based on the Temple campus plays classical during the day then Jazz at night, though a mix of all the different kinds.  For a kind of modern day take on Jazz check out Lake Street Dive.  One guy on trumpet or guitar, another guy on drums, one girl on stand up bass (and she F'ing KILLS it) and another girl with pipes like she stepped out of the 40s from the big band era.  They've evolved since they started and added more modern beats/rhythms, but they're really talented and worth a listen.  Seen them once at the Union Transfer in Philly where they did a cover of the Eurythmics' Walking On Broken Glass (they do loads of good covers, including a live one of Hall & Oates' Rich Girl).

Thanks for the list.  I don't want anything near light techno jazz...elevator music.

I got hooked on some Hoagy Carmichael but that's almost big band 40s.

I am appalled! No mention of Coltrane? That’s just crazy. Wayne Shorter. Herbie Hancock. The Duke and the Count. Art Tatum. Sonny Rollins?

No Coltrane? SMH.

There’s a great Japanese woman pianist right now - Hiromi. Her god is Oscar Peterson, also passed over here. There’s a lot of Hiromi’s stuff on Youtube. Check out her duets with Chick Correa or her solo performance of that old standard, I Got Rhythm. The woman is a monster.

Sorry to hear that.  Being older now, if I did get anothe bike I wouldn't throttle up on the familiar straight roads any more.  Just not worth it.  When you're younger (when I had the bikes) you feel a bit invincible and full of life, though I know I was probably more cautious than most in that regard.  I remember one Summer working in Hammonton and having an apartment across from the Ocean Drive bar in Sea Isle with friends and when driving the Ninja home at night after work I was always very attentive to the traffic around me.  No excessive speeding and I would only pass cars the same way I would pass them if I was driving my car.  I didn't take the extra risk because I was on a bike and could speed up quicker than a car.  I made sure to leave myself the time and distance I needed for it to be safe.  Though, when I hit that long stretch of road into Sea Isle, if I was the only car on the road either way, I'd throttle that sucker up and hope there wasn't a turtle crossing the road.

Sorry, JR.  You're right.  Should have mentioned Coltrane at least.  I was out in the Sun today and drinking so my mind isn't as sharp as usual.  Yes, Coltrane is another one I enjoy listening to along with Rollins for the 'old school' Jazz.  The Count to me is more big band, which my grandfather used to have vinyl records of loads of big band artists that he'd listen to when down in his 'shop' in the basement.  He was a big Glenn Miller fan.  So that was my first intro to the Jazz world.
