I know this is really beating a dead (small) horse, but I saw a new Countryman the other day and I was surprised at how large they've become. I did some checking on the new S/W they just showed at Frankfurt and it's 168.3" long; my old Austin 1800 "land crab" was 166" at a time when it was two classes above the then…

the car however, doesn't have immunity and could be impounded if the police so choose

my last "dirt bike" was a Triumph 500 :)

a basic grasp of physics is never a bad thing...

I'm thinking the boys who run Sonoma Raceway should be getting a little nervous right now...

OK, so I AM a biker. I've been riding over 40 years including 4 racing, and loud pipes on the street ARE a pain in the ass on almost every level. They alienate non-riders, set off car alarms ( also a giant PITA), cover useful noise such as sirens that might actually save your life, and probably lead to loss of hearing…
