1. BBR Motorsports, Inc started in the Brown Brothers’ Parents’ garage around 1996 with the simple goal of making cool motorcycle parts. BBR has come a long way, from building XR100 swingarms in their parents’ garage, to becoming the winningest company in the history of the MinMoto SX. Over the years, BBR has been consulted by OEM motorcycle manufacturers, aftermarket motorcycle parts companies, bicycle manufacturers, tech publications, and even CAD/CAM software developers. BBR custom motorcycles and performance parts have been featured in hundreds of publications around the world.

Based in Enumclaw WA, BBR Motorsports continues to design and produce quality, high performance products for off-road playbikes. BBR Products can be purchased directly or through your local dealer. Dealers can purchase BBR products through the premier wholesale powersports distributors in the United States.

2. The full form of BBR is Blonde, Brunette, Redhead

The hair equivalent to vanilla, chocolate and strawberry (dessert flavors) or Yellow, Blue, and Red (primary colors). The trope is strictly for visual appeal; they are not personality types.

Sometimes, they’re heroes. Sometimes, they’re friends. Sometimes, they’re contenders, fighting for the same love interest. Whatever the details, they’re proof that Central Casting does count: three women, three natural hair colors. Collect the full set. This trope was inspired — or at least made popular — by The Andrews Sisters, a Girl Group from the 1940s who were famous for entertaining US army forces during World War II. Their diversity of hair colors was probably due to their partial Norwegian-Greek ancestry, an interesting mixed race in those days.

Strictly speaking, these women need not have the exact Clairol hues of blonde, brown/black, and red, particularly when stepping away from the natural spectrum. The blonde will have the lightest hair, the brunette the darkest and the redhead will have a distinct moderate shade — all for instant sight recognition.

Sometimes, a Token Minority may either replacing a Caucasian brunette or stand beside her. The latter case can match the Four-Girl Ensemble: the Sassy Black Woman (sometimes Asian Airhead or Spicy Latina), the Blonde (beautiful or dumb), the Brainy Brunette, and the Fiery Redhead. Contrast Plenty of Blondes.

The only difference between a blonde, redhead and a brunette is the color of the hair that grows on their head. Blondes are not “dumb”. Redheads don’t have “terrible tempers”, and brunettes are not “plain, studious, wallflowers”. Every person, male and female has their own personality, shaped by a mixture of genetics and environment, and has damn-all to do with the color of their hair!

3. The full form of BBR is Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time.

Bottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) is a TCP congestion control algorithm developed at Google in 2016. Up until recently, the Internet has primarily used loss-based congestion control, relying only on indications of lost packets as the signal to slow down the sending rate. This worked decently well, but the networks have changed. We have much more bandwidth than ever before; The Internet is generally more reliable now, and we see new things such as bufferbloat that impact latency. BBR tackles this with a ground-up rewrite of congestion control, and it uses latency, instead of lost packets as a primary factor to determine the sending rate.

Why is BBR better?

There are a lot of details I’ve omitted, and it gets complicated pretty quickly, but the important thing to know is that with BBR, you can get significantly better throughput and reduced latency. The throughput improvements are especially noticeable on long haul paths such as Transatlantic file transfers, especially when there’s minor packet loss. The improved latency is mostly seen on the last mile path, which is often impacted by Bufferbloat (4 seconds ping times, anyone?). Since BBR attempts not to fill the buffers, it tends to be better in avoiding buffer bloat.

4. The full form of BBR is Black Beauty Ranch

The Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch is a world-renowned animal sanctuary in Murchison, Texas that was founded in 1979 by author and animal advocate Cleveland Amory. The sanctuary is not a zoo but is now open to the public 1-2 times per month for small, prescheduled, guided tours to respect the peace and privacy of the animals.
